Filter by:In recent years, many studies have shown that prehabilitation based on aerobic training strategies could have a positive effect on the recovery of postoperative functional capacity in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. Investigators are proposing a prospective randomized controlled trial to compare the impact of a short home-based multimodal prehabilitation strategy to preoperative aerobic training on patients scheduled for video-assisted thorascopic lobectomy for lung cancer. The multimodal prehabilitation strategy includes guided aerobic and resistance exercise, breathing exercises, nutrition supplement and physiology management preoperatively, while the aerobic strategy offers the same aerobic training guidance without the other parts. The prehabilitation lasts 2-3 weeks in our center. Investigators follow-up patients until 30 days after surgery, to investigate whether multimodal prehabilitation strategy differs from aerobic training program in postoperative functional capability improvement, health-related quality of life scorings, incidence of postoperative complications and other outcomes.
This is a safety and feasibility study of bronchoscopic cryo-immunotherapy (BCI) of peripheral lung tumors in advanced non-small cell lung cancer for the intention of inducing anti-tumor immune responses. The sample size for this study will be 15 patients. Pre- and post- BCI peripheral blood samples will be analyzed to assess for anti-tumor immune responses. Post-BCI peripheral blood will be collected 7 and 14 days after the procedure.
This two-part study will include a dose escalation part to determine the recommended dose for expansion of DS8201a and pembrolizumab and a dose expansion part to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the combination.
In developed countries cancer has become the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease. The lung is a particularly exposed organ since broncho-pulmonary cancers rank second in terms of incidence, and the first rank in terms of mortality of all cancers listed in like reported in United States. Lung resection surgery is currently the recommended curative treatment for the early stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite this preferred indication, some patients can not be eligible for surgery because of their cardiovascular or respiratory comorbidities or their impaired functional capacity. Thus, the evaluation of aerobic capacity through cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) of patients estimated at risk of postoperative complication is now recommended to estimate the level of predictive risk associated. The American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Socitety agree on thresholds of <10 and> 20 ml/kg/min of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2peak) respectively determining a high or low postoperative risk, between these two thresholds risk is considered moderate. Aerobic capacity is traditionally expressed in terms of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max or VO2peak) evaluated during an incremental CPET. In patients with significant respiratory impairment, these tests are often limited by ventilation and sub-maximally on the metabolic or cardiac parameters. However, the analysis of the VO2 kinetic during a constant-intensity test of moderate intensity is also a relevant way of measuring aerobic conditioning. Indeed, the time constant (τ) of phase II of VO2 kinetics (VO2τ) is a marker that closely reflects the adjustment of oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle. Analysis of the kinetic parameters of the cardio-respiratory response to exercise has been shown to be reproducible and training-sensitive in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The value of VO2τ was also reported to be strongly correlated with markers of severity and prognosis in COPD patients. Previous work has shown that exercise training can improve the speed of the VO2 kinetic response in COPD patients as well as in healthy subjects. To date, no study to our knowledge has evaluated the kinetics of the cardiorespiratory response during moderate intensity constant-load test in patients with NSCLC. In this context, this work aims to evaluate the applicability of this measure as well as its evolution during a preoperative exercise training program in patients with NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SHR-1316 in combination with Fluzoparib（SHR-3162） in Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients
The efficacy and safety of the neoadjuvant therapy of pembrolizumab+ ramucirumab
This is a prospective pilot study investigating exhaled breath condensate analyses to quantify the variability over time of various biomarkers associated with symptomatic pneumonitis.
- The investigators will prospectively recruit 100 NSCLC patients. The cfDNA samples will be gathered before the surgery and postoperatively 4-6 weeks after surgery and at 6 and 12 months follow-up visits. - This study aims to investigate the role of ctDNA in NSCLC patients treated with curative intent surgery. - Preoperative ctDNA will be compared to primary tumor DNA to investigate the concordance of mutations and gained mutations from possible primary tumor cancer stem cell. - Preoperative ctDNA findings will be tested for associations with baseline characteristics as well as clinically important factors such as TNM stage, histopathological findings, and tumor volume. - The investigators aim to identify molecular residual disease (MRD) using multiple ctDNA samples after the surgery and search the associations with clinical recurrence and survival, with possible correlation to palliative chemotherapy response - Using multiple ctDNA samples, the investigators will gather information about tumor heterogeneity, diversity of disease genotypes, and dynamic changes in ctDNA. - If additional data from palliative immunotherapy (PD-L1 inhibitors) is available, the effect of this will be evaluated in the study.
Lung cancer is one of main cause of cancer death in worldwide, characterized of low 5-year survival rate of less than 20%. Pulmonary nodule is considered as the typical imaging manifestation in early stage of lung cancer. The National Lung Screen Trial has demonstrated that the mortality rates could decline greatly, by the utility of low-dose helical computed tomography for screen of pulmonary nodules. Thus, automatic detection, diagnosis and management of pulmonary nodules, play the vital roles in computer-aided lung cancer screening and early intervention.
This is a prospective interventional open-label randomized trial. The patients treated with anti- PD-1 (programmed-death receptor type 1) or anti-PD-L1 (programmed-death ligand) antibodies in case of new acute onset interstitial changes or new seriuos respiratory system related symptoms will be recruited for this study to perform diagnostics. At the recruitment the patient will be randomized 1:1 to investigatory or control arm, the randomization will be stratified upon three criteria: 1. severity of suspected pneumonitis at baseline (grade 2 vs. grade 3-4) 2. response for oncological treatment (partial response (PR) and complete response (CR) vs. stable disease (SD) and progression disease (PD)) 3. chronic respiratory system disorders Both groups will be treated in the same way in terms of diagnostic procedures. In case of interstitial lung diseases related to immune checkpoint inhibitor is confirmed with the severity of grade 2-4 in the modified CTCAE criteria the patient will get the treatment, accordingly to the randomization: ARM A - INVESTIGATORY GROUP the start dose will be 1-4 mg/kg of body weight of prednisone, depending on clinical condition and pneumonitis severity, the induction treatment will last for 5-7 days, in case of severe condition - no improvement after 48-72 h of initial treatment - introduction of immunosuppressive agent is recommended - cyclophosphamide, mofetil mycophenolate or infliximab. A continuation treatment with dose tapering is than recommended, starting from 60mg q 24h of prednisone for 2-4 weeks, and dropping the dose 10mg q 24 h not faster than over 14 days; the maintenance dose of prednisone 10mg q 24 h should be hold for 8 weeks and withdraw should last for 4 weeks. This arm will be treated with corticosteroid for at least 12-24 weeks. ARM B - CONTROL GROUP the starting dose will be 1-4mg/kg of body weight of prednisone , depending on clinical condition and pneumonitis severity, the induction treatment will last 5-7 days; in case of severe condition - no improvement after 48-72 h of initial treatment - introduction of immunosuppressive agent is recommended: cyclophosphamide, mofetil mycophenolate or infliximab. A continuation treatment with dose tapering is than planned, starting from oral dose of 30-60mg q 24h of prednisone, and dose reduction of 10mg q 24 h each 1 week. This arm will be treated for 6-12 weeks. During the treatment and after its termination the function of respiratory system, interstitial changes in radiologic examinations, anticancer response, survival time, pneumonitis relapse and glucocorticosteroid side effects will be monitored and evaluated. The observation will last up to 52 weeks.
