Filter by:Our study sought to examine nivolumab efficacy and safety in advanced NSCLC patients treated under the Temporary Authorization for Use (ATU, compassionate use) setting and describe their long-term clinical characteristics, notably the treatments they received after nivolumab discontinuation. The profile of these patients shows greater conformity to that of a non-selected population, yet the clinical data collection does not reflect "real life" conditions and stops when treatment ends, which does not enable us to get an overview of post-immunotherapy treatments.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. At present, surgical resection is still the standard treatment for early stage lung cancer. Triportal thoracoscopic lung resection is a routine surgically procedure for early stage lung cancer while uniportal thoracoscopic lung resection is developing rapidly in recent years. Although uniportal VATS pulmonary resection has been proven to be effective in preventing postoperative morbidities, there is still no ample evidences to demonstrate that uniportal VATS pulmonary resection is equal or superior to traditional triportal thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. The purpose of this multicenter randomized controlled trial study is to compare the uniportal VATS with traditional triportal VATS pulmonary resection in postoperative complications, long-term survival, lymph node dissection and local recurrence.
The primary objective is to describe the genomic profile of long-term survivors, especially to find out potential genomic prognosis and/or predictive factors for gefitinib long-term efficacy as compared to rapid PD patients
Rationale: Recent studies showed that ascorbic acid (AA) stimulates proliferation and maturation of T lymphocytes and NK cells. Chemotherapy results in depletion of those cells and thereby an increased infection rate. A pilot study showed low levels of AA in the plasma of several patients after chemotherapy for hematological malignancies. AA suppletion could be beneficial to the recovery of the immune system in these patients. But before an intervention study can be undertaken, further understanding of changing over time of AA levels and the relationship with the immune status after chemotherapy is necessary. Objective: The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the changing over time of AA levels in plasma and in leukocytes before and during chemotherapy treatment for several different groups of patients and compare that to healthy controls. In this way we want to identify the patients were further interventions could be useful and use the data in the development of an intervention study for power calculations and to identify the primary endpoint. Study design: observational study Study population: There will be 6 different groups of participants in the study: two groups of patients that receive clinical intensive chemotherapy (acute leukemia and high dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue), two groups of patients that receive relatively mild chemotherapy in outpatient setting (colon cancer and lung cancer) and two control groups. All participants will be adults and recruited at the MUMC+. In total there will be 150 participants. Main study parameters/endpoints: Influence of chemotherapy on AA levels in plasma and in leukocytes.
The ProCore ultrasound biopsy needle, used primarily to obtain intra-abdominal tissue core biopsies, has not been widely used for endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). In this study the investigators are going to evaluate the utility of the ProCore needle for sampling mediastinal or hilar lymph nodes during EBUS-TBNA versus standard 22 gauge needle for diagnosis of lung cancer.
The study is a prospective, randomized controlled phase III trial aimed to test the efficacy and safety of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in combination with PD-1 inhibitors or docetaxel, for second line treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) .The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.
This research study is studying a drug as a possible treatment for ALK-positive or ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The following drug will be involved in this study : - Lorlatinib
This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant and adjuvant atezolizumab in participants with resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Neoadjuvant therapy consisted of two 21-day cycles with atezolizumab. Following surgery, adjuvant therapy consisted of up to 12 months of atezolizumab in participants who demonstrate clinical benefit with neoadjuvant therapy. All participants who undergo surgery entered a surveillance period, which consisted of standardized blood sample collection and Chest CT Scans, for up to 2 years. All participants were monitored for disease recurrence and survival for up to 3 years after last dose of study drug.
CK-101 is a novel, potent, small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that selectively targets mutant forms of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) while sparing wild-type (WT) EGFR. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profile of oral CK-101; to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of oral CK-101; to assess the safety and efficacy of CK-101 in treatment-naive NSCLC patients known to have activating EGFR mutations and previously treated NSCLC patients known to have the T790M EGFR mutation.
This randomized phase II/III compares rilotumumab when given together with erlotinib hydrochloride against erlotinib hydrochloride alone in treating patients with stage IV squamous cell lung cancer that has come back after previous treatment. This is a sub-study that includes all screened patients positive for the met proto-oncogene (MET)/hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) biomarker. HGF can interact with MET and can cause tumor cells to grow more quickly. Rilotumumab may decrease the activity of HGF and may be able to shrink tumors. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether giving rilotumumab with erlotinib hydrochloride works better than erlotinib hydrochloride alone (standard treatment) in treating squamous cell lung cancer.
