Filter by:This randomized, open-label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) in combination with carboplatin + paclitaxel or carboplatin + nab-paclitaxel compared with treatment with carboplatin + nab-paclitaxel in chemotherapy-naive participants with Stage IV squamous NSCLC.
This is a phase I/II trial on concomitant RT-full dose CHT using accelerated hypofractionation schedule as currently being in routine use in Poland for sequential combination or RT alone. Objectives of the study are: to estimate rate of grade ≥ 3 CTCAE adverse effects related to treatment and to estimate tumor control, progression free-survival, and overall survival in patients treated with this regimen. Stage III NSCLC patients are treated according to the following schedule: RT: 58.8 Gy in 21 fractions (2.8 Gy/fraction, 5 times a week, 6 times in the third week; CHT concomitant with RT (2 cycle of Cisplatinum and Vinorelbine, every 21 days). Feasibility of the studied approach is evaluated by scoring the toxicity during RT-CHT and therafter, as well as percentage of treatment completion; efficacity is evaluated by estimation of local control and survival. If toxicity and efficacity are similar or better than those observed in modern series of conventionally fractionated RT-CHT, the studied regimen will become a routine treatment schedule in our institution in order to spare RT resources. In the future, a randomized comparison of the studied schedule with conventionally fractionated RT-CHT for locally advanced NSCLC is also planned.
This is a multinational, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab-Pfizer plus paclitaxel and carboplatin versus bevacizumab-EU plus paclitaxel and carboplatin in first-line treatment for patients with advanced (unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic) non-squamous NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of anti-emetic drug Aprepitant upon the combination chemotherapy of nedaplatin and docetaxel for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab when given together with afatinib dimaleate in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment, or has come back and does not respond to erlotinib hydrochloride. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Afatinib dimaleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and afatinib dimaleate together may be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.
Famitinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at c-Kit, VEGFR2, PDGFR, VEGFR3, Flt1 and Flt3. Phase I study has shown that the toxicity is manageable. This study assessed the safety and maximum tolerated dose of continuous daily treatment with Famitinib plus docetaxel (60 mg/m^2, every 3 weeks) in patients with Advanced Non-squamous and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) to determine the recommended dose for the Phase II trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the costs, health-related quality of life and preference values from lung cancer patients assisted in a Brazilian public health care unit.
Lung cancer patients experience significant physical symptoms, psychological distress and have many supportive care needs that impact on quality of life. Implementing the role of a Lung Cancer Nurse (LCN) is a response to meet the needs of patients and caregivers. Primary aim is to assess the feasibility of a LCN intervention and feasibility to collect longitudinal patient self-assessment questionnaires at the Thoracic Cancer Centre of the University Hospital of Lausanne. Secondary aims are: i) to describe self-reported changes in self-efficacy, symptoms and unmet supportive care needs across three time points during the first line therapy and ii) to explore professional acceptability of the new LCN model evaluating the perceptions of barriers and facilitators of the model by the LCN and the other multidisciplinary members of the comprehensive lung cancer care team. An exact single-stage (no interim analysis) design will be applied to determine feasibility for further studies to be undertaken. Secondary outcomes will be analyzed descriptively at each data collection (Baseline, Time1, Time2) time point and professional acceptability will be explored by focus groups with selected members of the interdisciplinary team.
This is a study that evaluates an optimization of the monitoring of patients with lung cancer in order to extend the survival of patients by improving their quality of life and decreasing anxiety generated by the achievement of balance sheets imaging. The spacing of the follow-up imaging also helps to reduce the cost of such monitoring. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the overall survival of patients.
The role of sublobar resection(Wedge resection or anatomic segmentectomy) for small(≤ 2cm) early stage non-small cell lung cancer has been studied by Lung Cancer Study Group and is being studied by several ongoing trials. However, elderly patients(aged ≥70 years) in these trials is under-represented, as in most of the ongoing clinical trials. This study focuses on the elderly population of early stage lung cancer, and aims to investigate the outcome of lobectomy versus sublobar resection for peripheral stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in elderly patients.
