Filter by:This is a multicenter, multinational, double-blind, 1:1 randomized, parallel-group, equivalence Phase 3 study to compare the efficacy and safety of MB02 plus chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) versus Avastin® plus chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) in subjects with Stage IIIB/IV non-squamous NSCLC
This is a multi-center phase II trial of intravenous (IV) Pembrolizumab MK-3475 in subjects older than 70 years with advanced Non-small cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) expressing Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). 82 patients will be enrolled in this trial to examine the efficacy, the impact on geriatric assessments, the quality of life and the self-reported outcomes.
One of the main challenges of thoracic oncology lies in earlier diagnosis of lung cancer to improve survival rate, wich is about 15% at 5 years. This poor prognosis is often linked to late diagnosis. Efforts are being made worldwide to offer testing in patients at risk or earlier diagnosis of lung cancer in order to offer the patient curative treatments. Indeed, supported at the stage of nodule (less than 3 cm lesion), lung cancer is curable by surgery in 80% of patients. Nevertheless, there are many differential diagnoses and access to these lesions is often difficult and risky. In this context, the management of pulmonary nodules, which can be either benign lesions or beginners cancers, is a real challenge for pulmonologists and thoracic oncologists every day: it is important not to disregard a potentially operable nodule and avoiding offer patients invasive procedures for benign nodules. Indeed, many procedures (endoscopy, puncture under scanner, thoracotomy) are made to determine if suspicious nodules are benign or not. In the large National Lung Screening Trial, 28% of the procedures were associated with complications (including 11% classified severe and 16 deaths). It is therefore essential to develop non-invasive tools to refine treatment decisions.
This research study is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for EGFR mutation-positive lung cancer. The drugs involved in this study are: - EGF816 - Gefitinib
This research study is studying cryoablation (a treatment to kill cancer cells with extreme cold) combined with continued treatment with current immune checkpoint inhibitor as a possible treatment for lung cancer.
This is a feasibility study to determine the usefulness of a brachytherapy device that utilizes active components (palladium-103) of standard devices in a novel configuration, which may benefit lung cancer patients by reducing the radiation dose to critical structures, such as the heart wall, while giving a therapeutic dose to diseased tissue, such as at a surgical margin.
The purpose of this study is to collect information about how a doctor uses the results of the VeriStrat® blood test to guide treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Understanding how VeriStrat test results influence doctors' decisions and patients' outcomes may help doctors to better treat NSCLC in the future. This study will also look to establish whether new investigational tests can help better predict the effectiveness of certain medications for certain patients. These new investigational tests are only for research purposes at this time.
International multi-center open-label randomized clinical trial of efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of BCD-100 (JSC BIOCAD, Russia) monotherapy compared to docetaxel as second-line therapy of patients with advanced inoperable or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
The classification of lung cancer (LC) according to the degree of anatomical extension (TNM) allows the estimation of the prognosis of the patient, although its accuracy is limited. In fact, one third of surgically-treated patients with initial disease have recurrences during follow-up, despite the negativity of node dissection at surgery. The incorporation of genetic, epigenetic and proteomic information to TNM staging will characterize more accurately the lung cancer, and thereby improve the prognostic and the prediction of the therapeutic response in these patients.In this project a prospective cohort of 320 patients with lung cancer staged I-IIp will be studied, combining the clinical and pathologic information available with genetic, epigenetic and proteomic markers in tumour samples, pulmonary tissue, regional nodes and peripheral blood, preserved in suitable systems for the application of complex analytical methodologies. Thus, a knowledge database will be created with the aim of improving the prognostic and prediction capabilities of TNM staging.This project is coordinated with related sub-projects that cover the required laboratory tests on biological samples and with Spanish collaborative group in lung cancer.
This study is an open label, multicenter, randomized phase II trial of consolidation immunotherapy with either nivolumab alone or the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab following concurrent chemoradiation in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC.
