Filter by:This is a prospective, single institution phase II study, whose primary objective is to estimate the median and three year survival rate of non-small lung cancer patients with Stage IIIA and IIIB intra-thoracic disease which is referred to as "locally advanced" non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The proposed study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation if a small dose of IV dexamethasone during induction anesthesia in association to pre and postoperative intercostal nerve block, improves quality of recovery of thoracoscopic lung resection patients.
AC0010 Maleate Capsules is a new, irreversible, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation selective Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor.Aim at local advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients with EGFR mutation or T790M drug-resistant mutation. The molecular mechanism: by irreversible combining the EGFR-RTKs ATP binding site of cell, selectively suppress the activities of EGFR tyrosine kinase phosphorylation, block the sigal signal transduction system of EGFR, and close the function of ras/raf/MAPK downstream. at last block the tumor cell growth by EGFR induction, and promotes apoptosis. AC0010 Maleate Capsules has three characters: 1. Irreversible combination with EGFR; 2.Efficient suppress the EGFR mutant tumor cell and has no suppression to EGFR wild-type cell; 3. Efficient suppress the EGFR T790M drug-resistant mutation tumor cell.
The investigators will test the hypothesis that positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with the imaging agent 18F-thymidine (FLT) can rapidly assess treatment response in patients with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
NovellusDx technology identifies tumor-specific driver mutations, but unlike sequencing-based tests, NovellusDx has a functional assay that detects dis-regulated translocation of mutated signaling proteins to the nucleus. This allows NovellusDx to identify functionally-impactful driver mutations regardless of whether the mutation has previously been described or linked to a tumor type.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is better to receive a new drug, MEDI4736, or better to receive no further treatment after surgery (and possibly chemotherapy) for lung cancer.
This research trial studies genomic analysis in tissue and blood samples from young patients with lung cancer. Identifying specific gene mutations (changes in deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA]) may help doctors tailor treatment to target the specific mutations and help plan effective treatment.
The purpose of the study is to qualify, independently, tumor cell proliferation by 3'-Deoxy-3'-[18F]Fluorothymidine (FLT) -Positron Emission Tomography , and cell death by Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) -Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compared to pathological quantification (% of viable tumor cells) of the primary tumor after pre-operative chemotherapy in patients with operable Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if it is tolerable for patients with NSCLC to receive afatinib before surgery. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
There is a growing body of evidence that implicates inflammation as a mechanism of disease progression and reduced survival in patients with advanced cancer. Elevated c-reactive protein levels have been shown to be associated with reduced performance status, specific cancer related symptoms and reduced overall survival. C-reactive protein levels are a surrogate for IL-6 expression. IL-6 is part of an inflammatory signature predicting cancer recurrence. VeriStrat® is a multivariate test which measures protein expression related to a host/tumor interaction mediated by inflammation. The investigators hope to examine the relationship between quality of life outcomes per FACT-L survey and correlate them with changes in c-reactive protein levels and the VeriStrat® status. The hypothesis of this study is that the remarkable survival benefit in the Temel study is mediated by reduced inflammation with improvement of symptom control.
