Filter by:This phase III trial compares the effect of adding whole brain radiotherapy with hippocampal avoidance and memantine to stereotactic radiosurgery versus stereotactic radiosurgery alone in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the brain and come back in other areas of the brain after earlier stereotactic radiosurgery. Hippocampus avoidance during whole-brain radiation therapy decreases the amount of radiation that is delivered to the hippocampus, which is a brain structure that is important for memory. The medicine memantine is also often given with whole brain radiation therapy because it may decrease the risk of side effects of radiation on thinking and memory. Stereotactic radiosurgery delivers a high dose of radiation only to the small areas of cancer in the brain and avoids the surrounding normal brain tissue. Adding whole brain radiotherapy with hippocampal avoidance and memantine to stereotactic radiosurgery may be effective in shrinking or stabilizing cancer that has spread to the brain and returned in other areas of the brain after receiving stereotactic radiosurgery.
The neoadjuvant Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI) or ICI combination with chemotherapy for Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) had induced higher major pathologic response (MPR) and complete pathological response (PCR). However, the RECIST underestimated the therapeutic response of neoadjuvant ICI therapy. In this study, dynamic PET/CT compared with RECEST 1.1 for the prediction of therapeutic response of NSCLC treated with neoadjuvant ICI combination with chemotherapy.
Phase 1b/Phase 2 Umbrella Study; open-label, multi-center, parallel group study. Sasanlimab (a PD-1 antagonist monoclonal antibody) will be combined with a different targeted therapy in each sub-study. Phase1b of each sub-study will evaluate the safety of the combination and select the dose for the Phase 2 portion. Phase 2 of each sub-study will evaluate the anti-tumor activity of the combination. Sub-Study A is active, not recruiting, ongoing participants are still receiving treatment in Phase 1, Phase 2 will not be initiated. Sub-study B is complete. All participants have discontinued treatment and any additional follow up required by protocol.
In this study circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) blood testing is used to detect the residual blood cancer. If residual cancer using this blood test is detected there may be at higher risk of having the cancer return. The study is going to test whether or not the number of circulating cancer cells detected in the blood can be reduced by administration durvalumab after the standard treatment if you are tested positive for the residual cancer.
NSCLC comprises of approximately 84 percent (%) of all lung cancers and is often diagnosed at advanced stage due to poor prognosis. Dostarlimab is an immunoglobulin G (IgG)4 kappa humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds with high affinity to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD 1), resulting in inhibition of binding to programmed death ligand 1 (PD L1) and programmed death ligand 2 (PD L2). This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety PD-1 inhibitors dostarlimab and pembrolizumab, when administered in combination with chemotherapy (pemetrexed, cisplatin and carboplatin), in participants with non-squamous NSCLC without a known sensitizing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), or receptor tyrosine kinase-1 (ROS-1) mutation, BRAF V600E mutation, or other genomic aberration for which an approved targeted therapy is available. A total of approximately 240 participants will be enrolled in the study for a period of 5 years.
The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1701 with or without chemotherapy in the treatment of unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multi-centre study of surufatinib in patients with low to intermediate grade (Grade 1 or Grade 2), well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NETs).
Radiotherapy (RT), at a total dose of 60-66 Gy over 6 weeks, combined with platinum-based chemotherapy, is the standard of care for stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers (NSCLC) patients with unresectable or inoperable disease. However, the long-term outcomes are poor, with a 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of 15-35% for stage IIIA, and 5-10% for stage IIIB patients. The recent association of immunotherapy has been proven to improve Progression Free Survival (PFS) and OS for these patients and durvalumab consolidation following chemoradiotherapy (CT-RT) is now the new standard of care. Compared to older technics (2Dimensions(D) and 3D-RT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) allows for improved organs-at-risk sparing, owing to the high dose conformation to the target volume, thus reducing toxicity rates. In regard to the recent results of adjuvant immunotherapy, the benefits of concomitant chemotherapy with radiotherapy could be re-evaluated. With the changing landscape in the standard treatment of Local Advanced NSCLC (LA-NSCLC), the reduction in treatment-induced toxicity, while maintaining optimal tumor control, has become a priority, thereby warranting access to adjuvant immunotherapy for these patients. Due to the toxicity of the chemoradiotherapy, a large subset of patients may be unfit for the adjuvant immunotherapy. The use of immunotherapy concomitant to radiotherapy without chemotherapy may be the next step. Nevertheless, as immune cells are highly sensitive to conventional RT doses, the paradigm of the standard irradiation volumes should be reconsidered. In this context, the introduction of IMRT to spare lymphatic tissues and bone marrow deserves evaluation in prospective trials. A strong body of evidence supports the combination of RT with immunotherapy such as a Programmed cells Death-1 (PD1) inhibitor. Radiation alone can modify the immune response in several ways to allow for synergistic effects when combined with immunotherapy. The reduction in treatment-induced toxicity while maintaining optimal tumor control has become a priority, thereby warranting access to adjuvant immunotherapy for these patients. In this context, the introduction of IMRT to spare lymphatic tissues and bone marrow deserves evaluation in prospective trials. The timing of administration of immunotherapy seems to be a major point. Previous data in mice showed that an improved survival benefit with concurrent anti-PD-Ligand1 (PD-L1) and RT versus sequential administration. Moreover, for sequential schedule, an improved survival outcome was found for patients receiving first dose of durvalumab within 14 days of last radiotherapy fraction compared to 14 days or greater. Furthermore, immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy appears to be safe, without increase of the toxicity. In summary, there is a strong rationale for testing this new paradigm of accelerated IMRT combined with concurrent and maintenance nivolumab for locally advanced non-small lung cancer, due to: - The unmet medical need for new Standard Of Care (SOC) better tolerated and " as " or " more " effective treatment than CT-RT - The need to decrease radiation-induced toxicity - The limit of CT-RT followed by durvalumab consolidation, leading to a high rate of recurrence within the 18 months (18-month PFS rate of 44.2%) - The strong rationale to combine RT and PD-1 inhibition It is hypothesized this innovative concept to be safe in the context of this study for the following reasons: - The use of moderate accelerated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (H-IMRT) allows decreasing both the Overall Treatment Time (OTT) and the dose to the organs at risk - The decrease of the OTT (24 fractions instead of 33 fractions) combined with a decrease of the toxicity should represent a potential clinical benefit.
Low-dose CT Screening has been shown in two large trials in the United States (NLST) and Europe (NELSON) to increase overall survival in subjects 55 years of age and older with a strong smoking history. Unfortunately, in both North Carolina (NC) and South Carolina (SC), subjects are found to have the above referenced smoking history prior to reaching the minimum age in these studies. This study is aimed at decreasing the minimum age of screening in a high-risk population.
The purpose of the study is to characterize the incidence and severity of TAK-788-associated diarrhea in previously treated participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors harbor EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations treated with TAK-788 when administered with or without intensive loperamide prophylaxis.
