Filter by:Study participants will be selected from clinical routine patients with endobronchial infiltration of a central lung cancer and indication for bronchoscopic sampling. Consented patients will undergo bronchoscopy for tumor sampling applying two routine sampling methods during one single procedure (EBUS-TBNA and conventional forceps sampling). The sequence of both sampling methods will be randomized in advance. The resulting tissue samples will be analyzed by a pathologist using multiplex PCR and FISH. The corresponding analysis results will be compared between sampling methods. Assignment of a subject to a particular therapeutic strategy is not influenced by this protocol. Medicinal products will be used according to current practice and marketing authorisation.
Medically under-served (i.e., low-income, uninsured, underinsured) cancer patients generally encounter significant disparities in accessing care for their mental health needs while undergoing toxic treatments that provide considerable physical and emotional stress. Thus, the investigators propose to adapt evidence-based strategies to a stepped-care intervention model to address the mental health needs of under-served lung cancer (LC) and head and neck cancer (HNC) patients and their caregivers across several levels of symptom severity (e.g., mild, moderate, or severe symptoms of depression and anxiety).
This is a phase II clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy of PD-L1 inhibition with atezolizumab in advanced squamous and non-squamous NSCLC patients previously treated with anti-PD-1 therapy with either nivolumab or pembrolizumab. In order to account for the variability of response kinetics to PD-1 directed therapy, patients will be enrolled in 3 parallel cohorts based on the best overall response to PD-1 directed therapy. - Cohort 1 (progressive disease) - Cohort 2 (stable disease with minimum 12 weeks of therapy) - Cohort 3 (partial to complete response followed by progressive disease)
In a person with cancer, low muscle mass and strength increases the risks of suffering from severe complications of the disease, its treatment, and dying. To prevent muscle loss in cancer, stimulating muscle protein anabolism (growth) by fueling muscles with protein is crucial. Dairy products are not only a source of high-quality protein but are a preferred food choice for cancer patients as they progress through chemotherapy treatment. Although commercially available oral nutritional supplements containing essential amino acids are often promoted for protein anabolism, these products are not preferred by cancer patients. Moreover, our research group has shown that patients consuming oral nutritional supplements actually lose more weight than those who chose regular whole-food items. Evidence of the health effects of consuming dairy products is needed to influence dietary recommendations for people with cancer. The objective of our study is to perform a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of dairy products to maintain muscle mass and strength and improve patient outcomes in people undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
It is reported that smoker patients (>400 cigarette/year) will suffer more postoperative complications than non-smoker patients after lobectomy. Evidences has suggested pulmonary rehabilitation could reduce the pulmonary complications after thoracic surgery. However, the effect and long-term results of pulmonary rehabilitation on smoker patients have not been studied. The purpose of this study is to determine whether pulmonary rehabilitation is effective to smoker patients who underwent lobectomy.
This study is a single arm, multi-center phase II study of olaparib monotherapy in patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) harboring HR pathway gene mutations not limited to BRCA 1/2 mutations, ATM deficiency or MRE11A mutations as second or third line chemotherapy. Target subject population: Patients with small cell lung cancer that have progressed following first-line platinum-based therapy. Patients must have imaging confirmed progression on 1st line chemotherapy for SCLC treatment, which must have contained platinum-based regimen, with at least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1.
The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of early-stage peripheral lung cancer.
EGFR Tyrosine-Kinase Inhibitor monotherapy is widely used in treatment of patients with EGFR mutation-positive Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), In despite of the benefit of PFS （progression-free survival） , the OS （ overall survival） is limited extended. This study is aim to observe the safety and efficacy of the combination of an anti-angiogenic drug recombinant human-endostatin with EGFR TKI ,to find out a new strategy which may further extend the PFS and OS with a tolerated toxicity.
The focus of the study is to test a nurse-led telephone-based palliative care intervention on improving the delivery of care for patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer. The study is a three site randomized control trial to determine the efficacy of the intervention on improving patients' quality of life, symptom burden, and satisfaction of care. Additionally, the study will test an innovative care delivery model to improve patients' access to palliative care. The investigators will also determine the effect of the intervention on patient activation to discuss treatment preferences with their clinician and on clinician knowledge of patients' goals of care.
The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of high-activity natural killer immunotherapy to small metastases of non-small cell lung cancer.
