Filter by:Over 65% of all lung cancer patients experience significant weight loss fuelled by a catabolic state that is represented by enhanced protein breakdown. The metabolic state of patients is a key effector of protein clearance, and the increased albumin as well as monoclonal antibodies clearance that is observed in patients with progressive cancer disease inversely correlates with treatment response and may well be consequential to changes in the metabolic state of cancer patients. Interestingly, several studies in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, amongst which are NSCLC patients, have shown that weight loss and catabolism can be prevented or improved by intake of high energy/high protein Oral Nutritional Supplements (ONS). An increased clearance of anti-PD-1 ICI may also represent a general dysfunctioning of the immune system, because immune cell activation, proliferation, migration and tumor cell killing may all be influenced by cachexia. Enrichment of nutritional supplements with specific nutrients known to have immune-modulating properties, may further balance immune responses supportive of ICI efficacy. The investigators hypothesize that high energy/high protein nutritional supplements decrease protein clearance including drug clearance in NSCLC patients receiving anti-PD-1 ICIs, which on its turn would positively affect anti-PD-1 drug bioavailability, leading to activation of the immune system and thereby an increased response to PD-1 ICIs. The primary aim is to investigate the variability of clearance during a 12-weeks nutritional intervention period. The secondary aim is to investigate the feasibility for the subjects to comply with the study protocol. Lastly, the investigators aim to study the feasibility of gathering data on a number of exploratory parameters that may link nutritional intake to clinically relevant outcomes.
This is a Phase 3 Randomized, Controlled, Multiregional Study of Ivonescimab Combined with Chemotherapy Versus Pembrolizumab Combined with Chemotherapy for the First-line Treatment of Metastatic Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. The primary endpoint is overall survival and key secondary endpoints include progression free survival. response and safety.
In this multicenter, open label non-randomized phase I/II dose escalation study with extension cohort HLA-A*0201-positive patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be included. The primary aim of this study is determine the safety, tolerability and immune modulating effects of the therapeutic LRPAP1 synthetic long peptide (LRPAP7-30V-SLP) vaccine (TEIPP24) at different doses. Secondary objectives are to assess the specificity and immune modulatory effects of the vaccine, to assess the antigen and immune status of the patients, and to determine progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and the radiological tumor response up to one year after first vaccination.
The goal of this research study is to study U.S. Black women with a history of smoking to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and performance of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening among this population. The name of the intervention used in this research study is: Low-dose computed tomography (radiologic scan) chest scan
This is an open-label, single-arm, prospective phase 2 study, evaluating the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with Anlotinib as maintenance therapy following tislelizumab and chemotherapy for treatment naïve extensive stage small cell lung cancer.
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy following by pembrolizumab adjuvant in stage IIA-IIIB (N2) NSCLC participants without sensitizing EGFR/ALK mutation. The study will also investigate the role of CXCL13+PD1+ CD8 T cells in association with pathological response / resistance to neoadjuvant immunotherapy by comparing the proportion of CXCL13+PD1+ CD8 T cells in all CD8 T cells in post-treatment (surgical sample) between MPR group and non-MPR group.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety of delivering Aliya PEF in patients with metastatic cancer within the lungs or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are treatment-naïve and indicated for first-line standard of care (SOC) cancer therapy.
This is pilot study to establish a rapid autopsy program in Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) at the Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center and outline the components necessary for tumor tissue collection.
The study is a prospective randomized interventional study including patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, receiving immunotherapy, with the aim of optimizing treatment monitoring. The study aims to investigate the clinical utility of liquid biopsy monitoring in order to reduce the numbers of inefficient treatments and needless toxicity - and to explore the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of introducing liquid biopsy monitoring in daily clinical practice.
There are ~85,000 lung cancer patients (LCPs) in the UK; yet only around 8% were recruited into clinical trials in 2021/22. LCPs need opportunities to take part in clinical trials to access new treatments, increasing their quality of life, treatment choices and life expectancy. Discussions with nurses can help patients make better treatment decisions, improving experiences of care. However, research has shown that lung cancer nurses (LCNs) often feel unable to discuss participation in trials with patients due to lack of knowledge, confidence, time and training. This study aims to develop and test a research recruitment tool for LCNs, to support LCPs to enter clinical trials. Objectives include to: - Explore reasons for low uptake of LCPs into clinical trials - Develop a tool for LCNs to talk to patients about clinical trials - Test whether the tool improves the number and quality of discussions nurses have with LCPs about clinical trials The study has four phases: Phase 1: A literature review will identify problems that make clinical trial uptake difficult for LCPs, carers and clinicians Phase 2: Six group discussions with LCNs, patients and carers will explore issues that create potential barriers for patients taking part in clinical trials. The groups will take place online, last approximately one hour and be recorded. Phase 3: Part 1&2 findings will help us develop a LCN research recruitment tool. The tool will contain information on how nurses obtain information about LC clinical trials, research teams, communication issues, practical issues and how to reach LCPs. Phase 4: The research recruitment tool will be tested in four UK NHS hospitals. A survey will identify any changes in nurses' clinical trials awareness and confidence before and after using the tool. Interviews with LCNs, patients and carers will explore their views on the tool, clinical trials participation and experiences of care.
