Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether combining ganetespib (STA-9090) with docetaxel is more effective than docetaxel alone in the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
assess the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine in the maintenance treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer
The investigators aim to evaluate the safety of delivering a one-time single fraction of Lattice Extreme Ablative Dose (LEAD) radiotherapy followed one day later by standard-dose, conventionally fractionated concurrent chemotherapy and radiation delivered over 6 weeks in patients with bulky stage III non-small cell lung cancer in the setting of a single-arm phase I clinical trial. The investigators hypothesize that the addition of a one-time single fraction of LEAD radiation is safe and feasible, and will not result in additional toxicity above that expected with standard-dose concurrent chemotherapy and radiation alone.
The Investigators are looking to compare standard treatment for the management of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) which is prophylactic cranial Irradiation (PCI) (shown to be very good in patient survival) with cranial sparing PCI. Although standard of care PCI is successful in patient survival it also has neurologic side-effects. The Investigators are hoping the cranial sparing PCI has the same positive survival results with the added benefit of lowering neurological side-effects.
This was a multi-center randomized controlled Phase II clinical trial. Patients with oligometastatic stage IV (number of distant metastases ≤ 5) non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer treated with second-line erlotinib150mg daily for 3 months with clinical benefits (free-from progression) were randomized (stratified according to smoking status and different research centers) to the radiotherapy group (n = 100) and the non-radiotherapy group (n = 100). Radiotherapy group (experimental group) patients started simultaneously radiotherapy for all gross tumors soon after randomization; non-radiotherapy group (control group) received no radiotherapy for all gross tumors. Erlotinib was continuously used until to disease progression or unbearable adverse effect, and the subsequently further salvage therapies were determined by the investigators. The primary endpoint was PFS.
To assess the activity of the FGFR inhibitor AZD4547 in patients with FGFR1 or FGFR2 amplified breast, squamous lung and stomach cancer whose cancers have progressed following previous chemotherapy
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide with a crude incidence of lung cancer in the European Union of 52/100.000 per year and a mortality of 47/100.000 per year. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80% of all cases. The five year survival of NSCLC patients is quite poor (16%), mainly due to patients being diagnosed at advanced stages. However if lung cancer can be detected and treated at an earlier stage the outcome and survival is much more favorable with five year survival rates up to 77%. The current standard of care for small volume tumors is surgical resection in medically fit patients, consisting in lobectomy or pneumonectomy accompanied by a systematic mediastinal lymph node sampling or lymphadenectomy. For the patient population with small volume disease at early stage surgery offers the potential of local tumor control in up to 96% of the patients. However, about one quarter of the patients is medically inoperable because of coexisting morbidities or poor general condition, mostly the result of a long smoking history and consecutive chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and coronary artery disease (CAD). The main purpose of this trial is to assess the effectiveness of IG-SBRT (Image guided stereotactic body radiotherapy) in patients with medically inoperable early stage, centrally located NSCLC and in those who are not willing to undergo surgical treatment. Secondary objectives of the study are - to assess safety of the treatment modality by collecting data about acute and late toxicity - patterns of local and distant recurrence and relation between the site of local recurrence and the clinical (CTV) and planning target volume (PTV) - survival and cause of death
This is a national, multicentre, non-interventional, retrospective study to be carried out in the oncology settings of approximately 15-20 Spanish hospitals. At each participant hospital, all patients recently diagnosed with advanced EGFR mutated NSCLC (both newly or with recurrent disease , without previous treatment for metastatic disease) from April 2010 to December 2011 will be included as study population. Information about the follow-up of the patients during a minimum of 12 months after diagnosis will be collected.
Patients will be enrolled that are undergoing bronchoscopy for diagnosis of discrete lung lesions or for detection of acute rejection following lung transplants. The hypothesis is that bronchoscopy together with probe-based endomicroscopy (pCLE)results in improved and/or incremental diagnostic yield (definitive diagnosis) over conventional bronchoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of postoperative inspiratory muscle training on the recovery of respiratory muscle strength in high risk patients referred for lung cancer surgery. Furthermore, to assess longitudinal changes in respiratory muscle strength, physical capacity and health-related quality of life after lung cancer surgery
