Filter by:Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) represents the first cancer related cause of death worldwide with 1.4 millions of deaths every years. Current standard therapies include platinum-containing drugs but at one year from diagnosis the survival rate is still low (30-40%) . The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of a platinum-free drug, named Vinorelbine, administered by the so called "metronomic schedule" in order to prolong the progression free survival of patients.
The objective of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of ONO-4538 in subjects with stage IIIB/IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer unsuited to radical radiotherapy and resistant to a platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen.
The BCCA Oncopanel is a clinical assay being developed to determine genotype status of a prospectively defined set of genes. The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility and effect on clinical-decision-making of the Oncopanel test. Eligible patients are those with advanced lung, colorectal, melanoma and GIST cancers and patients with diagnosed malignancies being considered for clinical trials.
The purpose of this study is to develop an ultra sensitive assay of mutation detection on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for treatment, diagnosis and monitoring disease progression of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
Thioredoxin reductase plays an critical role in lung cancer patients, in vitro study showed that, ethaselen, specific inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase, could inhibit lung cancer cell growth and induce apoptosis. In China, phase 1 clinical trials of ethaselen showed that 1200 mg dose ethaselen could be well tolerated, in pre-clinical study we found that, approximately 50% non-small cell lung cancers harbored high thioredoxin reductase expression(IHC result ++ or +++), phase 1a/b of ethaselen had finished in 2008, the result showed that 1200mg ethaselen per day was safety and tolerated by Chinese malignant tumor patients.In pre-clinical research, our group found that, elevated of thioredoxin reductase activity was associated with the expression of thioredoxin reductase tested by immunohistochemistry, which means high expression of this enzyme may be a favourite predicted factor of ethaselen, the specific inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase.
This is a 2-part study in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor mutation positive (EGFRm+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has progressed on treatment with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI): Part A will determine the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD9291; Part B will allow patients further access to AZD9291 and will provide for additional safety data collection. Part A is a randomised, open-label, 2 treatment period crossover study in which patients will each receive a single oral dose of AZD9291 (1 x 80 mg tablet) at breakfast time (approximately 0800) in each of 2 treatment periods (once immediately following a high fat meal [fed], and once in the fasted state [fasted]), with a washout period of 9 days between doses. Approximately 38 patients are planned to be enrolled and dosed; at least 30 evaluable patients will be required to complete Part A (ie, the last PK sample in Treatment Period 2 [TP 2] has been collected). Additional patients may be enrolled to allow for at least 30 evaluable patients
Aprepitant is an oral neurokinin-1(NK-1) antagonist which is widely used for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting(CINV), it is metabolized by CYP34A, however, up to now it was still unknown the CINV control rate of aprepitant in Chinese non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients, we hypothesis that CYP3A4 and NK-1 polymorphism would influence aprepitant plasma concentration, which may lead to the individual difference of CINV control rate.
In addition to their role in allergic inflammation, mast cells are often found at the site of tumors. They have been attributed both to pro- and anti-tumorigenic roles depending on the tumor type. Secretion of mast cell mediators such as histamine, tryptase, fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) can enhance tumor growth and angiogenesis while TNF-a and heparin act as tumor suppressors. The non-small cell lung cancer constitutes the majority of cases of lung cancer. In lung cancer, mast cell numbers correlate with tumor angiogenesis and poor prognosis. In this work, we are interested to determine the factors in lung cancer microenvironment that attribute to mast cell activation. Beside the tumor cells themselves, the cancer microenvironment includes other cells such as fibroblasts. The fibroblasts arising from tumor stroma, called cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), undergo activation, and have different feature compared to normal fibroblasts (NFs). In this work we are interested to determine whether CAF cells derived from lung tumors, together with the lung cancer cells, or microvesicles-derived from these cells, are able to stimulate mast cells to degranulate and/ or to release various cytokines and chemokines. For this propose, during surgery of patients with lung cancer, we will take unnecessary sample from the cancer and from normal area for purification of CAF or normal fibroblast cells. Those cells will be co-cultured with both lung cancer cell line (A-549) or microvesicles-derived from these cells, and human mast cell line (LAD2). Supernatants will be collected for determine degranulation and cytokine release from these mast cells.
This is a 2 part study in patients with EGFRm+ non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), whose disease has progressed on an EGFRm TKI, who are refractory or resistant to standard therapy. Part A will assess the effect of multiple oral doses of itraconazole on the single dose pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of AZD9291. On completion of Part A, patients may continue to take AZD9291 tablets (Part B) following the collection of the 216 hour sample on Day 19 if they and the Investigator deem it appropriate, until such time as their disease progresses, the Investigator believes they are no longer deriving clinical benefit, or they stop taking AZD9291 for any other reason
This screening and multi-sub-study randomized phase II/III trial will establish a method for genomic screening of similar large cancer populations followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-sub-study hybrid ?Master Protocol? (S1400). The type of cancer trait (biomarker) will determine to which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to compare new targeted cancer therapy, designed to block the growth and spread of cancer, or combinations to standard of care therapy with the ultimate goal of being able to approve new targeted therapies in this setting. In addition, the protocol includes a ?non-match? sub-study which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the biomarker-driven sub-studies. This sub-study will compare a non-match therapy to standard of care also with the goal of approval.
