Filter by:Lung cancer represents the most frequent neoplastic disease worldwide, with an annual incidence of over 2 million cases, which represents 11.6% of all cancer diagnoses. Further, it constitutes the main cause of cancer-related deaths. Among the lung cancer types, non-small cell lung cancer represents 80-85% of cases, and the majority of patients are diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic disease, and 5-year survival rates remain discouraging in most world regions, ranging from 8-18%. Advances in molecular biology have led to the discovery of several molecular targets and development of targeted therapy for patients with specific molecular subtypes of NSCLC. One of the most widely studied is the epidermic growth factor receptor (EGFR), which has been long recognized as a key modulator for specific tumor cell functions, and thus it has been used in drug development strategies. Mutations in the EGFR gene are reported in 15% of all NSCLC cases, though incidence varies widely and in Mexico up to 34% of patients present with tumors with EGFR mutations. Treatment of patients with tumors with these characteristics is based on specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), achieving higher objective response rates and improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared with chemotherapy-based schemes. Nonetheless, despite the initial response, most patients treated with TKIs will eventually develop resistance mechanisms and present progressive disease. Consequently, the development of novel strategies to overcome TKI resistance and improve PFS of patients with NSCLC with epidermic growth factor receptor mutations (EGFRm) is priority. Up to 30% of patients with NSCLC present with somatic mutations in the liver kinase B1 (LKB1) gene, which acts as a tumor suppressor through inhibition of mammilian target of rapamycin (mTOR). In a study which included 24 patients with LKB1 expression who received treatment with metformin + TKIs, overall survival was improved significantly, and therefore it is important to evaluate LKB1 expression in addition to mutations which could be related with treatment response in patients given metformin plus antineoplastic agents. LKB1 can activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling through specific phosphorylations at aminoacid residues. AMPK can regulate cell cycle, cell proliferation and cell survival in NSCLC. Recently, the loss of expression of LKB1 has been associated with a reduced activation in AMPK using in vivo models, and increase in tumor necrosis after treatment with bevacizumab. The expression of AMPK has also been evaluated in NSCLC, a study which included 99 samples concluded that increased AMPK expression was associated with worse overall survival. Nonetheless, the association between AMPK expression and metformin treatment has not been ascertained. Metformin is a biguanide used as treatment for type 2 diabetes. Additionally, several studies have identified a reduced incidence and mortality from diverse neoplasms in patients treated with metformin. In vitro studies have shown that metformin is cytotoxic in lung adenocarcinoma cells, producing a cell cycle arrest at G0 and G1, and it inhibits resistance to TKIs induced by Epithelial-Mesenchymal transition (EMT). Retrospective trials have also provided evidence as to the benefit of metformin in patients undergoing treatment for NSCLC. Several prospective trials have evaluated the concurrent use of metformin plus TKIs for patients with lung adenocarcinoma, though results have been controversial. This randomized, phase 3 study will evaluate the PFS in patients with NSCLC with EGFR mutations undergoing treatment with TKIs plus placebo vs. TKIs plus metformin.
This is a prospective, single arm study to investigate the efficacy and safety furmonertinib 80mg/d as adjuvant treatment for 3 years post surgery of stage IA with high-risk factors and stage IB non-small cell lung cancer. A total of 114 patients would be enrolled. The primary endpoint is the disease-free survival rate at 3 years.
Does an educational intervention for untreated COPD and cardiovascular disease which is integrated in an existing lung cancer screening program improve guideline concordant medication adherence at 12 months
This phase II trial tests the safety and side effects of durvalumab and grid therapy in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have progressed during or within 6 months of durvalumab administration for non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Spatially fractionated radiation therapy or "grid therapy" is a technique which delivers high doses of radiation to small areas of the tumor which can lead to more concentrated tumor cell killing and causes less damage to normal tissue. Giving grid therapy with durvalumab may help durvalumab work better to kill tumor cells in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
This study is a multi-center, Single-arm Phase II study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Consolidation HLX10 (Serplulimab) Following Hypofractionated Radiotherapy With Concurrent Chemotherapy for Patients With Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
This study is a randomized, active control, open-label, phase 2 trial. Erlotinib-treated NSCLC patients will be screened for Globo H, and only Globo H+ (H score ≥ 100) subjects are eligible for the study. Eligible subjects who have been treated with 3±1 months of first-line erlotinib and have achieved stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR) status will be randomized in the ratio of 1:1 to receive erlotinib alone or erlotinib plus OBI-833/OBI-821 therapy.
This trial is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label, Phase I clinical trial in 3 phases: dose escalation phase, dose expansion phase and indication expansion phase, which will explore the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy of TGRX-326 in patients with ALK-positive or ROS1-positive advanced NSCLC.
The study is designed as a non-randomized Phase 2 clinical intervention study. The study will include patients with disseminated Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) which are eligible for first line of systemic treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors and platinum-based chemotherapy (PDL1 less than 50%). Patients will receive palliative radiotherapy to multiple sites (2 to 5 sites) prior to systemic treatment. Results of treatment will be compared to historical cohort of patients treated only with systemic therapy.
This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best doses of capmatinib plus trametinib when given together for the treatment of patients with MET exon 14 skipping mutation non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Capmatinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Trametinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of cancer cells. Capmatinib and trametinib are "targeted therapies." These targeted therapies work by detecting and targeting a mutation in the MET gene. Giving Capmatinib and trametinib may kill more tumor cells in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
HS-10376 is an oral, highly selective, small molecular inhibitor of EGFR/HER2 Exon 20 insertion mutation. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of HS-10376 in Chinese advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients.
