Filter by:This research study is studying a type of radiation therapy called Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) as a possible treatment for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a mutated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or or displaced anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK) or ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) gene (= oncogene-driven NSCLC) and for which the subject has been receiving treatment with a targeted biological agent such as erlotinib, crizotinib, or other drugs.
This phase 2 trial evaluates how well pegylated irinotecan (NKTR-102) works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), or breast cancer (mBC) that has spread to the brain and does not respond to treatment. Pegylated irinotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The primary purpose of this research study is to evaluate how safe, how well tolerated and how effective a range of doses of L-DOS47 in combination with standard doublet therapy of pemetrexed/carboplatin in patients with Stage IV (TNM M1a and M1b) recurrent or metastatic non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
p53 is a tumor suppressor gene which plays an important role in controlling normal cell proliferation regulation that is located on the chromosome 17 (17p13.1). It is the most common goal of genetic alteration in many tumors. Serum p53 protein is presence in normal healthy individuals. However p53 antibody is extremely rare. Mutations in this gene cause an accumulation of non-functional proteins and development of anti-p53 antibodies, which can be detectable in tissues, slouhed cells, blood and other body fluids. Some studies have reported that, p53 mutations are highly common in leukemia, lymphoma, lung, esophagus, stomach, liver, bone, bladder, ovarian, and brain cancers. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths and the survey is low after the initial diagnosis. Accurate staging is important for determine the choice of treatment and predict prognosis. 18F-FDG PET/BT has important value for initial staging and it is the most advanced imaging technique developed all over the world for determine of the characterization of the metabolic tumor volume. Maksimum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax) which was acquired by PET imaging is commonly used in clinical practice as a criterion for malignancy. Due to the development of new software programs recently studies have shown that metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) may be useful quantitative parameters for the prognostic evaluation. Viable tumor volume could be estimate with this programs.The purpose of this study was to assess the relation between serum anti-p53 antibody level and quantitative PET parameters as SUVmax, SUVave, MTV and TLG.
The purpose of this study is to assess safety of nab-paclitaxel based chemotherapy regimens administered prior to and/or in combination with nivolumab in Pancreatic Cancer, Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC).
Single-center, prospective, controlled, open-label, randomized, two parallel arms comparing early Palliative care versus Standard care in patients with non-small-cell metastatic lung cancer
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the study drug known as abemaciclib in participants with hormone receptor positive breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or melanoma that has spread to the brain.
Thet study aims to estimate the prevalence of ALK rearrangement in the Middle East North Africa population by using the Ventana ALK-IHC method for ALK protein detection in retrospective NSCLC clinical samples, & to evaluate the association of ALK rearrangement with clinical and pathological parameters of NSCLC patients in MENA.
The project aims to compare the histopathological and molecular characteristics of tumour tissue from metastases with similar analyses of the primary tumour in the lung, where it is available. The investigators will therefore perform analysis of blood samples if possible, to identify predictive markers in blood samples.
The recent development of therapies targeting specific biomarkers mutations is changing the standards of care and prognosis of patients with advanced NSCLC, but very few data are currently available on those emerging biomarkers. In addition, the correlation of biomarkers with patients' clinical outcomes in a standard of care setting is poorly understood. This study aims to address that need.
