Filter by:Despite aggressive surgery and chemotherapy, the risk of lung cancer recurrence remains high in most patients. This study aims to determine if a novel immune therapy consisting of two drugs is feasible and potentially increases the chance of cure in lung cancer patients after surgery and standard chemotherapy. The immune-based therapy being given in this study consists of two medications named durvalumab and tremelimumab.
Worldwide, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common causes of cancer mortality. Also, the first leading cause of death is lung cancer in Taiwan 2012. Most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages and their median survival with supportive care is only 3-6 months. The common regimens used on advanced NSCLC treatment consists of platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, the survival benefit of which is able to extend the survival to approximately 10 months. However, disease and treatment-related toxicities in cancer patients may result in fatigue and interfered quality of life (QoL). According to the others reports, eight QoL areas including physical functioning, fatigue, pain, and appetite loss have been showed a statistically significant association with survival rate of NSCLC patients. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF), an indicator of QoL, has been reported as the most frequent and distressing toxicity of lung cancer chemotherapy. Proposed criteria for CRF have been adopted for inclusion in the International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM). Therefore, more in-depth researches on CRF are needed in Taiwan. In addition, electrolyte disturbance like hyponatremia has been reported to be counted as one of the many contributing factors for fatigue in palliative care patients and associated with poorer overall survival rate (OS) in lung cancer. Thus, the correlation between CRF and electrolyte possibly would be a strong link for physician to improve the QoL and survival rate of NSCLC patients. The objective of this observational study is to evaluate the correlation between CRF, survival and physiological factors in NSCLC patients under chemotherapy. The study will compare the effect of QoL and CRF on survival with or without CRF treatment and investigate the correlation between the variation of CRF and physiological factors which have been examined and recorded on medical record under clinical practice. These results will supply physicians with more understanding about CRF, and help them to enhance the quality on lung cancer care to being perfected in the future.
This study is to explore the potential efficacy and safety of low-dose Apatinib combined with S-1 in patients with advanced lung cancer. Patients with advanced NSCLC will be treated with oral apatinib and S-1 after treatment failure of standard regimen.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of patients who receive apatinib plus docetaxel and zoledronic versus docetaxel and zoledronic alone as second line treatment for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with bone metastases.
Korean data of treating EGFR mutation positive NSCLC patients with Erlotinib and Bevacizumab is significantly necessary for developing new standard treatment in first-line therapy in Korean EGFR mutant NSCLC patients. In this study, The investigators will investigate the efficacy and safety of Erlotinib and Bevacizumab combination compare to Erlotinib alone in Korean EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients.
This study is a Phase 1-2 open-label dose escalation study of the immuno-activating monoclonal antibody APX005M administered in combination with nivolumab to adult subjects with non-small cell lung cancer or metastatic melanoma. The Phase 1 portion is intended to establish the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase 2 dose of APX005M when administered in combination with nivolumab. The Phase 2 portion of the study will evaluate safety and efficacy of the combination.
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor tyrosine-kinase inhibitors （EGFR-TKIs）, including gefitinib，erlotinib and icotinib demonstrate excellent effect on the treatment of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR mutations. However, patients who are initially sensitive to the drugs eventually become resistance. In this study, the investigators aim to explore the efficacy of beta-elemene, combining with EGFR-TKI in advanced non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR-TKI resistance.
Explore the efficacy and safety of the treatment of Endostar continuous intravenous injection pump combined GP（gemcitabine+cisplatin） scheme for first-line advanced non small cell lung cancer and maintenance treatment.
This research study is studying a combination of two drugs as a possible treatment for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with an EGFR mutation. The interventions involved in this study are: - Osimertinib (Tagrisso) - Gefitinib (Iressa)
This phase II trial is studying blood and tumor tissue from patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are treated with nivolumab to better understand how nivolumab works. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread by turning on the immune system (T cells). We want to study the effects of nivolumab on the immune system (T cells) by collecting blood samples and samples from patients' tumors.
