Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using ctDNA to support cancer diagnosis and risk stratification where invasive aerosol generating testing (and/or tissue biopsy) is challenging due to infection risk, technical impracticalities and resource limitations, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent recovery period.
To evaluate the predictive value of ctDNA in response, relapse for patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors or targeted therapy for ALK, ROS1, MET ex14 skipping.
This study is being done to look at how effective the drug, atezolizumab, with or without the drug bevacizumab, is for people with inoperable liver cancer or non-small lung cancer that has spread to the liver. This will be done by looking at the duration of time from starting the study drug(s) until the cancer worsens in study participants. This study will collect blood and tumor tissue samples from participants to look at changes to their tumor(s) before and after receiving atezolizumab and/or bevacizumab.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer with the highest morbidity and mortality in the world. Stagement is closely related to the 5 years of survival rate of patients. The postoperative 5-year survival rate is above 90% for stage ⅠA lung cancer patients, while the 5-year survival rate of stage IV lung cancer patients is less than 5%. Therefore, early screening and diagnosis for lung cancer is a key method to reduce lung cancer mortality and prolong survival for patients. At present, low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is the most effective method for early detection of lung cancer. In addition to imaging examination, plasma tumor markers detection is also a common clinical detection method for tumor screening and postoperative monitoring. Liquid biopsy is a non-invasive or minimally invasive method for testing blood or other liquid samples to analyze tumor-related markers including nucleic acids and proteins. Several studies have explored the detection of hot spot gene mutations, methylation and methylation changes of DNA, protein markers and autoantibodies in peripheral blood in lung cancer patients. Liquid biopsy has generally become the most popular field for early diagnosis of lung cancer. Based above, it is necessary to combine multi-omics methods to improve the detection of early stage lung cancer. In our study, we intend to integrate molecular features obtained through liquid biopsy and clinical data of lung cancer patients, and develop and prospectively validate a machine-learning method which can robustly discriminate early-stage lung cancer patients from controls.
Lung cancer is the primary cause of cancer related deaths in Denmark. In order to improve the prognosis diagnosis in earlier stages are needed. This will however require improved sampling techniques from very small lung lesions. One method involves the use of a radial ultrasound probe inserted in the working channel of the bronchoscope, to more accurately identify the lung lesions before sampling them (rEBUS). The other method involves the use of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) to guide the operator to the lung lesion. This study aims to determine whether a combination of rEBUS and ENB is superior to ENB alone in biopsy sampling. The study will be conducted as a non-blinded RCT. Furthermore, we will make an estimate of the hospital costs of the entire diagnostic work up for lung cancer when combining ENB and rEBUS compared to ENB alone.
CONCORDE is a multi-institution, multi-arm, Phase IB study that will determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and safety profiles of different DNA damage repair inhibitors (DDRis) when given in an open label fashion in combination with fixed dose curative intent radiotherapy (RT) in patients with stage IIB/IIIA/IIIB NSCLC, followed by up to 12 months of consolidation durvalumab immunotherapy in selected study arms. The RP2D will be evaluated by incorporating the number of observed dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) into a time to event continuous reassessment method (TiTE- CRM) model within each of the experimental arms. TiTE-CRM is used here to take into account longer-term toxicities up to 13.5 months post start of radiotherapy and use these to inform dose escalation decision making.
PERSEE is a French national phase 3 academic study comparing the chemotherapy-pembrolizumab combination to pembrolizumab alone as a first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC molecularly defined by a PDL1 expression ≥ 50% of tumour cells and no EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangement. The main hypothesis is the superiority of the chemo-immunotherapy combination over mono-immunotherapy in terms of progression-free survival evaluated by an independent review committee. One of the anticipated benefits of using the chemotherapy-pembrolizumab combination starting from the first line setting for NSCLC patients with PD L1 ≥ 50% is a reduced risk of early progression, which is known to occur with pembrolizumab monotherapy, and therefore, a better PFS.
This is a phase II, non-randomized, open-label, single-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor (Tislelizumab) + chemotherapy (cisplatin/carboplatin + etoposide) followed by radical surgery and adjuvant Tislelizumab immunotherapy as first-line treatment in patients limited-stage SCLC.
This prospective, single-arm, multicenter, phase II trial enrolled 40 patients who underwent surgery after three cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with camrelizumab, nab-paclitaxel, and carboplatin. The MPR is the primary endpoint, and the pCR, the complete resection rate, the objective response rate, the disease-free survival, adverse events, and quality of life are the secondary endpoints. The exploratory endpoints will be used to establish a multiomics artificial intelligence system for neoadjuvant therapy effect prediction and decision-making assistance based on radiomics, metabolism, genetic, and clinic-pathological characteristics and to explore drug resistance mechanisms.
The investigators aim to explore how lung cancer patients and their family carers are affected by different types of cancer treatment. The investigators are focusing on a particular type of lung cancer called Stage III N2. N2 means the cancer has spread just outside the lung to the lymph nodes. There are two main treatments available in the UK for this type of lung cancer: 1. surgery PLUS chemo radiotherapy or chemotherapy 2. radiotherapy PLUS chemotherapy Patients live for a similar length of time with either treatment option so it is difficult for patients and health professionals to know which treatment to choose. It is important to understand the impact of the treatment on patients in their daily lives. Patients will be allocated at random to receive one of the two treatments options. Patients and carers will complete questionnaires and take part in interviews. The results of this study will help the investigators decide if a larger study should be conducted in the future.
