Filter by:This registry is intended to measure the effect of myPlan Lung Cancer™ test has on influencing treatment decisions of Oncologists when added to standard clinical-pathological parameters in patients with early stage NSCLC. The sponsor is conducting two parallel registries, with one directed at Surgeons (ONC003) and the other at Oncologists (ONC006). This registry is specific to Oncologists (ONC006).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective for insomnia in lung cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study was to determine if ruxolitinib, in combination with Pemetrexed/Cisplatin and Pemetrexed Maintenance, is safe and effective in the treatment of nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is Stage IIIB, Stage IV, or recurrent.
The project aims to study whether the application of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of 4 cm water vapor is a safe method in pulmonary radiofrequency intervention (PRF) lung cancer under conscious sedation compared with placebo. And, assess whether CPAP prevents atelectasis formation and consequently reduces the potential complications of PRF and improves procedural success
This study is designed to apply various scans such as functional imaging, Fluorodeoxyglucose_Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET), 62Cu-ETS (Copper) PET, Ventilation/Perfusion Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (V/Q SPECT), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT/CT, and pulmonary function tests before, during and after treatment to see if it predicts how well the treatment works for your cancer and how well your lungs function during treatment. A Computerized Tomography (CT) will also be performed along with both of these procedures to help the researchers see clearly where your cancer or your healthy lung is located. The researchers also perform blood tests in this study to look for markers in your blood to see if it helps them determine your risk of developing side effects from radiation to the lungs. They will also measure your health-related quality of life before, during and after treatment. The researchers hope that this study will help them in the future to design radiation treatment plans that provide the best treatment for each individual patient.
Open label multicentric randomized phase II trial, using high throughput genome analysis as a therapeutic decision tool, aimed at comparing a targeted treatment administered according to the identified molecular anomalies of the tumor with a standard treatment (pemetrexed in Non-squamous patients and erlotinib in squamous cells, targeted substudy 1) as well as immunotherapy with maintenance therapy in patients without actionable genomic alterations or non eligible to substudy 1 (immune substudy 2).
Determine whether viagenpumatucel-L combined with low-dose cyclophosphamide prolongs survival in patients with NSCLC who failed 2 or 3 prior lines of therapy for incurable or metastatic disease compared with chemotherapy alone.
Most studies of cancer stem cells (CSC) involve the inoculation of cells from human tumors into immunosuppressed mice, preventing an assessment on the immunologic interactions and effects of CSCs. In this study, the investigators examined the vaccination effects produced by CSC-enriched populations from histologically distinct murine tumors after their inoculation into different syngeneic immunocompetent hosts. Enriched CSCs were immunogenic and more effective as an antigen source than unselected tumor cells in inducing protective antitumor immunity.Immune sera from CSC-vaccinated hosts contained high levels of IgG which bound to CSCs, resulting in CSC lysis in the presence of complement.CTLs generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells or splenocytes harvested from CSC-vaccinated hosts were capable of killing CSCs in vitro. Mechanistic investigations established that CSC-primed antibodies and T cells were capable of selective targeting CSCs and conferring antitumor immunity.
ALMERA is a randomized, phase II, open label study in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which will compare standard radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy with or without consolidation versus the same treatment plus concurrent Metformin continuing for 12 months. Metformin is a well tolerated and inexpensive drug that has the potential to improve cancer patient outcomes.
This is an epidemiological,multicenter study of genomic and expression profiles of patients with newly diagnosed NSCLC.Two hundred and fifty NSCLC patients who fulfill the criteria are to be recruited by investigational sites.Approximately 100 of them will be from retrospectively collected samples with detailed clinical and 2-year follow-up information after surgeries.The demographics,cancer/adjacent normal tissue and matched blood sample will be collected after the patient had provided informed consent.All tissue samples will be analyzed for somatic mutations by exome deep sequencing,mRNA expression profiling by RNA sequencing and chromosome copy number variation by SNP array at the designated laboratories.
