Treatment efficacy of osimertinib will be assessed in patients with lung cancer harboring activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations (cohort 1) and those harboring T790M (cohort 2) which were detected from circulating tumor DNA
This phase II trial studies how well durvalumab works in treating patients with stage IV squamous cell lung cancer that has come back after previous treatment. This is a "non-match" sub-study that includes all screened patients not eligible for a biomarker-driven sub-study. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may be able to shrink tumors. Durvalumab may be effective in treating patients with squamous cell lung cancer.
The study seeks to determine the prevalence of sleep disordered breathing in a population of patients diagnosed with lung cáncer.
This is a two center, single arm, investigator sponsored trial (IST) with the PET tracer 89Zr-pembrolizumab to evaluate in vivo whole body distribution of 89Zr-Pembrolizumab in a registered indication: locally advanced metastatic melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer before Pembrolizumab treatment.
Background: Some non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) have a mutation in a gene that makes a protein called EGFR. This particular cancer can be treated with certain drugs such as erlotinib (Tarceva), gefitinib (Iressa) and osimertinib (Tagrisso). But many tumors become resistant to these drugs because of a second mutation. Researchers want to test if adding local ablative therapy (LAT) extends the benefits of the drug, osimertinib. LAT can include techniques such as surgery, radiofrequency ablation, cryotherapy or radiation therapy. Objective: To test if re-taking osimertinib after LAT is safe, tolerable, and effective for people whose NSCLC has progressed after initial treatment with osimertinib. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with certain types of NSCLC. Participants will be divided into various groups as described below. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood, urine, and heart tests Tumor scans Eye exam Review of tumor sample. Participants will take the study drug by mouth once a day. They will continue until they can no longer tolerate it or their disease worsens. They will keep a dosage diary. All participants will start each 21-day course with physical exam; blood, urine, and saliva tests; and electrocardiogram. They will have scans every 6 weeks and echocardiogram every 3 months. Groups 1 and 2 will: Start osimertinib right away. Have LAT if their disease progresses and is suitable for LAT. If LAT cannot be performed or LAT consists of a procedure other than surgery, a tumor biopsy will be performed. Re-start osimertinib after LAT, or other treatments if not suitable for LAT. Group 3 will: Have LAT. If LAT consists of a procedure other than surgery, a tumor biopsy will be performed. Start osimertinib after LAT. After participants stop taking the drugs, they will have a final visit. This will include: Medical history Physical exam Blood tests Participants will be called every year for follow-up.
Purpose: Selectins are vascular cell adhesion molecules involved in adhesive interactions of leukocytes and platelets and endothelium within the blood circulation. Plasma soluble P selectin (sP-selectin), is a one of member of selectin family, an adhesion molecule and component of the membrane of the platelet alpha granulate has been proposed as a one marker of platelet activation. In this study we evaluate of expression of P selectin on platelets of blood between serum samples from lung cancer and healthy individuals.
The advantages of thoracoscopic surgery include smaller wounds, fewer postoperative complications, and shortened hospital stay. However,complications such as pain, pulmonary function insufficiency, pneumonia,postoperative pneumothorax, persistent air leakage, subcutaneous emphysema, cough, and hemoptysis may occur in older patients after thoracoscopic surgery. Pulmonary rehabilitation has been demonstrated by evidence-base medicine could effectively reduce pulmonary complications and dyspnea as well as improve lung function, quality of life, exercise ability, and functional status of patients after traditional heart and thoracic surgery. Studies have suggested that pulmonary rehabilitation should be performed for at least 4 weeks to optimize the training effect .However, most patients who undergo thoracoscopic surgery were discharged within 3-5 days. Such a short hospital stay impeded the delivery of pulmonary rehabilitation. Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation appeared to be an option for these patients The purpose of this study is to determine whether Pulmonary rehabilitation are effective on patients who had thoracic surgeries.
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate, among 54 stage early stage lung cancer patients, whether a behavioral intervention versus an educational Control group results in improved function at 6-months.
The goal of this study is to determine specific perfusion patterns for radiation induced lung changes and residual/recurrent lung malignancies in patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy SBRT and thus improve to distinguish radiation changes from residual/recurrent lung cancers. Currently CT is often unable to make a clear differentiation between benign and malignant changes in the lung after SBRT treatment necessitating additional wait time to perform follow up CTs or biopsies. Optimal treatment may be delayed. The investigators want to apply a CT perfusion sequence in addition to the routine follow up CTs with the goal to obtain perfusion values of post treatment lung changes and lung tumours. The investigators' hypothesis is that CT perfusion values will help differentiate benign post radiation changes from residual/recurrent tumour in the lung with higher confidence and may help avoid unnecessary delays in cancer treatment.
