Filter by:A Phase II Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Pembrolizumab Maintenance Following First-Line Platinum Based Chemotherapy in Patients with Metastatic Squamous - Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (sNSCLC).
A principle objective of the study is to create a validated risk model for treatment selection. This will greatly enhance the ability to counsel patients regarding their specific risks/benefit ratio for surgery or SBRT. This will improve informed decision making on the part of the patient, and remove much of the subjectivity of treatment selection.
A pilot, single arm, single center study to determine the feasibility of obtaining stool samples from adult patients receiving SBRT to a lung tumor, if SBRT induces changes in the gut microbiota and to obtain preliminary data about possible correlation of baseline composition and changes in gut microbiota with tumor response, local control, and development of pneumonitis/other side effects.
This study tests the impact of a novel invitation strategy on attendance rates to a pre-lung cancer screening lung health check appointment. Patients will be individually randomised (1:1) to receive either control invitation materials or intervention invitation materials. Those who attend will undergo a "lung health check" and be invited to a baseline screening scan if eligibility criteria are fulfilled.
This study is to assess the efficacy of IMRT combined with erlotinib compared with whole-brain radiotherapy for EGFR wild type non-small cell lung cancer with 4-10 brain metastases.
Background: Metronomic oral Vinorelbine has efficacy in metastatic NSCLC and malignant Pleural Mesothelioma, but all the studies published thus far were based upon a variety of empirical and possibly suboptimal schedules, with inconsistent results. Mathematical modeling showed by simulation that a new metronomic protocol could lead to a better safety and efficacy profile. Design: This phase Ia/Ib trial was designed to confirm safety (phase Ia) and evaluate efficacy (phase Ib) of a new metronomic oral vinorelbine schedule. Patient with metastatic NSCLC or malignant Pleural Mesothelioma, after failure of standard treatments, ECOG 0-2 and an adequate organ functions, will be eligible. Our mathematical PK-PD model suggested an alternative weekly D1, D2 and D4 innovative schedule (named Vinorelbine Theoretical Protocol) with a dynamic intake of 60, 30 and 60 mg, respectively. Trial recruitment is two-staged as 12 patients are planned to participate in the phase Ia, to confirm safety and consolidate the calibration of the average parameters of the model. Depending the phase Ia result, and after favorable decision of a consultative committee, the extension phase (phase Ib) will be an efficacy study and will include a number of 20 patients receiving the Optimal Vinorelbine Theoretical Protocol. The primary endpoint is the tolerance (assessed by CTC v4.0) for the phase Ia and the objective response according to RECIST 1.1 for the phase Ib. An ancillary study on circulating angiogenesis biomarkers will be a subproject of the trial. Discussion: this ongoing trial is the first to prospectively test a mathematical optimized schedule in metronomic chemotherapy. As such, this trial can be considered as a proof-of-concept study demonstrating the feasibility to run a computational-driven protocol to ensure an optimal efficacy/toxicity balance in patients with cancer.
The investigators propose to conduct a retrospective study of single agent ceritinib in patients with previously untreated anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearranged adenocarcinoma of the lung with the sole purpose of characterizing the genomic landscape before ceritinib and at the time of disease progression.
Patients with refractory SCLC. Patients will be treated with paclitaxel and pembrolizumab.
With the recent approval of Nivolumab for second-line treatment of stage IIIb/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), immune checkpoint inhibitors are entering the standard of care for lung cancer. Other immune checkpoint inhibitors are under evaluation, both in resectable and non-resectable NSCLC. In order to refine our use of these molecules, comprehensive data on the immune contexture of NSCLC are needed. Moreover,a blood marker of this contexture would allow physicians to monitor the immune status of their patient's tumor and though to evaluate the rightful place of immunotherapy in the multimodal treatment of NSCLC. No such blood marker has been validated so far. The LYMPHOLUNG study investigate the concordance between blood and intratumoral counts of immune cells in resectable stage I to IIIA NSCLC. By the use of 30-marker cytometry, a precise immune profile of NSCLC will be depicted. The prognostic value of the circulating and intra-tumoral T regulator over total lymphocytes ratio for 2-year recurrence-free survival will also be addressed.
The study will utilize both retrospective and prospective data collection from patients that already had a bronchoscopy and lung resection or will have a bronchoscopy and lung resection for squamous cell carcinoma. The investigators plan to prospectively collect 5 bronchoscopic biopsies, 10ml blood and one tumor and adjacent normal samples from 200 qualified patients who meet the study criteria.
