Filter by:This is a Phase 1a/1b study of SC-002 in patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC). SC-002 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a monoclonal antibody linked to a potent chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of SC-002 at different dose levels, to determine the highest dose of SC-002 that can be given to patients with SCLC or LCNEC, to evaluate the side effects of SC-002, and to assess the anti-cancer activity of SC-002.
This trial is intended to evaluate the value of circulating tumor cells (CTC), in combination with unenhanced (without injection of contrast media) low dose (to limit the effective radiation dose below 1,5 mSv) chest computed tomography (LDCT) in the screening of Lung cancer (LC). LDCT screening was shown to reduce LC mortality in smokers and ex-smokers, older than 55 years, with a history of more than 30 pack-years. LDCT however shows a close to 30% rate of false positive that require repeat follow-up and also invasive investigations, but also false negatives with metastatic LC being discovered between screening rounds. Migration of circulating tumor cells (CTC) is an early event of carcinogenesis and characterizes aggressive cancers. We recently showed that CTC can be detected with the ISET technique in a population at high risk for LC, i.e. COPD patients before LC was detectable on LDCT. The study will focus on patients at very high risk for lung cancer i.e. smokers and ex-smokers suffering Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The study will enroll 600 participants who will undergo three rounds of screening at one year intervals, each round combining search for CTC on a blood sample and LDCT. Each participant will be followed for at least one year after the last screening round
This is a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of trilaciclib (G1T28) in preserving the bone marrow and the immune system, and enhancing chemotherapy antitumor efficacy when administered prior to carboplatin and etoposide in first line treatment for patients with newly diagnosed extensive-stage SCLC. The study consists of 2 parts: a limited open-label, dose-finding portion (Part 1), and a randomized double-blind portion (Part 2). Both parts include 3 study phases: Screening Phase, Treatment Phase, and Survival Follow-up Phase. The Treatment Phase begins on the day of first dose with study treatment and completes at the Post-Treatment Visit. Approximately, 90 patients will be enrolled in the study; 20 patients in the Part 1 and 70 patients in the Part 2 portion.
Two-Year Disease Free Survival Rate of Stage IB~IIIA adenocarcinoma after Adjuvant Chemotherapy with Pemetrexed and Cisplatin will be assessed. A total of 106 patients will be recruited for 12 months, and followed for two years, thus the duration of study will be 36 months.
Neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (neo-CRT) is increasingly applied in the curative treatment of esophageal cancer, with the aim to downstage the tumor, to increase the rate of radical resections, and consequently to improve the survival rates. Due to improved survival, it will become increasingly important to minimize the radiation-induced toxicity among long-term survivors. In the management of locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), radiotherapy is the standard treatment modality. However, the dose that can be safely applied to the tumour is limited by the risk of cardiac and pulmonary complications, which even led to decreased survival in a randomised study, when a higher tumor dose was administered [1]. Radiation induced pulmonary and cardiac toxicity are the most important late side effects after thoracic radiotherapy [2-4]. The aim of this study is to reduce the radiation dose of heart (and lungs) in order to reduce the toxicity risk. In recent years, the active breathing control (ABC) technique has been introduced in the radiotherapy for left sided breast cancer patients, to minimize the radiation dose to the heart. These patients are irradiated in the inspiration phase, in which the distance between the heart and the breast is largest, while the lungs extend. Breath hold might also be beneficial for radiotherapy of esophageal and lung tumors. For these patients the expiratory phase might theoretically be more beneficial to reduce the heart dose. However, the inspiration phase might be better for the dose to the lungs, which consequently allows cardiac dose reduction.
Lung cancer is commonly characterised either with a surgical procedure or by taking a tissue sample with a needle. Unfortunately, these invasive approaches may be unsafe in many patients with lung cancer, who often have co-existing illnesses such as emphysema. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a type of scan which offers the possibility of assessing tumour function by measuring concentrations of chemicals (metabolites) within the abnormal tissue. It is a well-established technique in imaging brain cancers. It has also been more recently studied in assessing prostate, liver and heart. There has been very little exploration of the potential role of MRS in lung cancer. The proposed feasibility study will recruit 15 patients with proven lung cancer to undergo an MRS scan. The reliability of the technique for metabolite measurement will be determined by comparing repeated scans from the same region in the same tumour. Further scans from different regions in the same tumour, normal lung around the tumour and tumour regions in different patients will be used to look for any patterns in the cancer metabolites which may indicate avenues for potential future research.
This study mainly to observe the anti angiogenic drugs Endostatin (Endostar) combined with vinorelbine and Cisplatin (NP) as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with non small cell lung cancer clinical efficiency and safety. Through anti angiogenesis therapy combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy improve the treatment of neoadjuvant therapy in tumor response rate and the rate of resection, At the same time, the study before and after the anti angiogenesis therapy in patients with peripheral blood circulation endothelial cells(CECs), levels of Endothelial progenitor cells（EPC）, micro vascular density（MVD） and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) expression level, to understanding the correlation between the clinical efficacy of anti angiogenesis therapy combined with chemotherapy and the change of all these markers. In order to find the reference basis for the prediction of the effect of curative effect. The changes of blood volume, blood flow and vascular permeability of the lung cancer before and after treatment with CT perfusion imaging are studied.
This phase I trial studies the safety, side effects and best dose of necitumumab when given together with osimertinib in treating patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) and who have progressed on a previous EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as necitumumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving necitumumab with osimertinib may be safe, tolerable in treating patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.
This pilot phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein when given together with standard chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein, paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, gemcitabine hydrochloride, docetaxel, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether standard chemotherapy regimens are more effective with recombinant ephB4-HSA fusion protein in treating advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
The primary purpose of this study is to look at effects, good or bad, of combining two investigational anti-cancer drugs called MPDL3280A and CDX-1401. CDX-1401 is given in combination with a third agent, poly-ICLC, which is another investigational drug that is believed to work together with CDX-1401. All investigational drugs, MPDL3280A and CDX-1401 in conjunction with poly-ICLC, have been evaluated separately in prior studies; however, this is the first study assessing the combination therapy.
