Filter by:This is a phase II, open label, multicenter study in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
While lung cancer are rare disease in the early 20th century, its incidence increased in parallel with the increase in smoking habits. It is the most common type of cancer in the world. Despite advances in the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy regimens, surgical resection is the most effective curative treatment modality to improve survival in non-small cell lung cancer. Pulmonary resection candidates are selected according to not only tumor type and stage, but also functional status, exercise capacity, underlying lung disorders and health-related quality of life assessments. Patients with lung cancer often have lung and heart comorbidities that affect the outcome of the outcome measures and restricts cancer treatment options. In patients with lung cancer, shortness of breath, physical inactivity, weakness in peripheral muscles and exercise intolerance are described. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary treatment designed to improve exercise capacity, functional status, health-related quality of life and to reduce the attenuation of chronic shortness of breath and fatigue in patients with chronic lung problems. In literature, the effect of surgery in patients with lung cancer on postoperative respiratory muscle strength is not clear. There is no study investigating the effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on respiratory muscle strength. For these reasons, the aim of the study was to evaluate the curative period of non-small cell lung cancer patients with reliability and validity assessment methods. The hypothesis of our study was; when compared with patients with lung cancer and healthy individuals, exercise capacity, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, physical activity levels, sleep and quality of life of lung cancer patients are reduced; dyspnoea, fatigue, depression, cough and pain levels increase.
Tumor genomic clonal evolution assessed with liquid biopsy of stage IB,II and IIIA non-small cell lung cancer patients after getting radical resection. Plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis detects molecule residual disease and predicts recurrence in patients. The concordance of the relative abundance of mutations in plasma ctDNA with cancer recurrence.
This is an open-label, randomised, two-arm, phase II, multi-centre clinical trial. 90 patients will be enrolled in this trial to examine the pathological Complete Response defined as the absence of residual tumor in lung and lymph nodes comparing patients treated with chemo-immunotherapy versus chemotherapy alone.
The primary objective of this study is optimization of the assay to discriminate between cancer cells and non-cancer cells in sputum samples by the performance of experiments that will determine methods to liquefy sputum, select proper fixatives and buffers, determine the efficacy of use of methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MBCD) in sputum processing and determine the use of flow cytometry for high-throughput, and in the establishment of cell count and sputum cell populations in patient samples. The secondary objective of this study is comparison of the characteristics of sputum from three cohorts labeled with CyPath Lung to determine differential characteristics between samples taken from Participants who are not at high risk for lung cancer, Participants at high risk for lung cancer who are free of the disease and Participants with confirmed lung cancer.
RELANCE is a large multi-institutional study that aims to retrospectively collect information about diagnostic, treatment and outcome of patients diagnosed with locally advanced NSCLC in Brazil. It is hypothesized that there is a great heterogeneity in treatment patterns owing to inequities in access to adequate staging methods, optimal treatment and multidisciplinary teams in Brazil.
This is a multi-center phase II clinical trial of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab as first line treatment for locally advanced or metastasic high-intermediate tumour mutation burden selected NSCLC patients. 102 patients will be enrolled in this trial to examine the efficacy of this combination measured by progression free survival according to response evaluation Criteria in solid tumours (RECIST) version 1.1.
A small-scale pilot randomized controlled trial conducted by the investigators demonstrated some preliminary evidence that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) could be a promising self-management method for alleviating breathlessness. Hence, the aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of IMT in patients with thoracic malignancies on dyspnea.
Research Hypothesis Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in France and in western countries, accounting for more than 1.8 million new cases and 1.5 million deaths worldwide in 2012. Recent advances in the management of patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients (NSCLC) include the use of therapies targeting oncogenes but a molecular alteration is currently found in only the half of the non-squamous NSCLC . More recently, immune check point inhibitors (ICI), firstly targeting PD-(L)1, became available and demonstrate an overall survival advantage over standard second-line chemotherapy both in squamous and non-squamous NSCLC. Unfortunately, this global overall survival benefit is driven by approximately 20% of the patient's population while a large majority of patients is in fact progressing in the first weeks of treatment. In the context of personalized medicine, innovative immunotherapy strategies in oncology are based on the principle of immune-contexture and require: - The identification of biomarkers for assessing the specific immune-contexture of each patient (microenvironment, tumors and effector cells) - The development of new treatments targeting their appropriate effector cells in monotherapy or combination treatments. The current PIONEER-Clinical study is aimed at assessing how to overcome resistance to ICIs monotherapies or ICI in combination with platinum-based chemotherapies, with experimental precision immunotherapies combined to Durvalumab in 2nd, 3rd or 4th line, in advanced NSCLC progressors patients after up to 18more than 6 w. of anti PD (L) 1. for ICIs monotherapies and after more than 12w. of anti PD(L)1 in combination with chemotherapies. Some supplementary blood and tissue samples are aimed at identification of personalized patients' biomarkers, correlation of them with the efficacy endpoints, in order to better understand mechanisms of resistance and improve their future treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidences of Grade III and above radiation-reduced esophagitis and radiation-reduced pneumonia of patients with advanced lung cancer treated with moderate hypofractionated (3Gy/f) radiotherapy, and their predictors. Efficacies are also evaluated.
