Filter by:Background: Cancer has a major impact in the United States and across the world. In 2015, over 1.5 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. Researchers want to study samples from people with cancer or a pre-malignant condition. They hope to develop more effective treatments. Objective: To better understand the biology of malignancies and why certain cancers respond differently to treatment. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with cancer or a pre-cancerous condition. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Their diagnosis will be confirmed by the NCI Laboratory of Pathology. Participants will send tissue blocks or slides from their original tumor biopsy. At least once, participants will have a medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. Participants may have the following tests. They may have them more than once: Apheresis. A needle in one arm removes blood. Blood is run through a machine and the sample cells are taken out. The rest of the blood is returned by a needle in the other arm. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. The hipbone will be numbed. A needle will be put into the hipbone. Bone marrow will be taken out through the needle. Piece of cancer tissue taken by a needle and syringe. Computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or positron emission tomography (PET) scan or ultrasound to help locate their tumor. For the scans, they lie in a machine that takes pictures. A small piece of skin removed. Participants will be contacted by phone once a year to find out how they are doing. ...
The purpose of this phase 2 trial is to study the activity of pembrolizumab in combination with bevacizumab in patients with untreated brain metastases from melanoma or NSCLC to determine activity and safety of the drug combination. Furthermore, in patients who undergo resection of biopsy of a brain metastasis, we will evaluate biomarkers predictive of treatment benefit, and will also conduct correlative biomarker studies on extra-cerebral specimens in all patients in whom a systemic biopsy is feasible or in archival tumor tissue when available. A total of 53 eligible patients will be enrolled on this trial (40 with melanoma and 13 with NSCLC). Individual cohorts of the study can be stopped if insufficient activity is observed in the first stage of that cohort. The study will accrue for approximately 84 months, and will be open for approximately 12 additional months as patients on study are being followed.
This is a multicentre randomised double-blind phase II trial, sponsored by Gustave Roussy and involving one French center as well as the Spanish Lung Cancer Group (≈20 centers of the SLCG). Six hundred patients with diagnosis of stage IIIB/IV NSCLC will initially be registered prior to receiving the first line platinum-based chemotherapy or during or at the end of the first 6 cycles of inducation platinium based chemotherapy and provide consent for retrieving archival tissue collection and providing translational blood samples and tumor biopsies. 1. - Induction chemotherapy phase All patients will initially be treated with 6 cycles of platinum-based induction chemotherapy. Cycle duration will be 21 days. Doublets should either consist of a pemetrexed-platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) doublet (preferentially for non-squamous NSCLC) or a gemcitabine - or vinorelbine - platinum doublet for squamous NSCLC. Taxanes-platinum doublets will not be accepted. Translational blood samples will be taken at the beginning of induction chemotherapy for all patients. Patients displaying progressive disease or stable disease after induction chemotherapy will be withdrawn and further optimally managed according to local practice. For them, an optional tumour biopsy will be performed at the end of the induction treatment. 2. - Randomisation and maintenance phase Only patients who respond to platinum-based induction chemotherapy will be further randomised between olaparib and placebo. These patients must have been treated with 6 cycles of chemotherapy. However, patients who haven't received 6 cycles of the induction chemotherapy due to severe toxicity (grade 3 or 4, NCI CTCAE v4.0) could be randomized only if they had received 4 chemotherapy cycles at least and if all treatment related toxicities are resolved to a grade ≤ 1 (NCI CTCAE v4.0). Treatment will be administered at a dose of 600 mg daily (2 doses of 300 mg [2 tablets of 150 mg] taken approximately 12 hours apart) and cycle duration will be 28 days. Disease will be assessed every 2 cycles by CTscan (MRI or PET-scan if the scan is not contributive) and treatment will be administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients will then be optimally managed according to local practice. Follow-up will be for a minimum of 15 months from the time of randomization, and until last venue. All randomised patients will be asked to provide translational blood samples at randomization, on treatment and at the end of the treatment. Optional tumour biopsies will be performed at randomization, at the end of the treatment (or at disease progression if available).
Prospective observational study to IDEntify patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC and ALK and ROS1 translocation and to establish their therapeutic management (IDEALK&ROS)
The primary purpose of this research study is to see whether adding bavituximab (an investigational drug) to durvalumab will improve the results of the treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter, non-randomized, single arm, phase II study to assess efficacy and safety of the dabrafenib and trametinib combination in Japanese patients with any line, stage IV NSCLC harboring a confirmed BRAF V600E mutation. Patients will receive oral dabrafenib twice daily and oral trametinib once daily combination therapy. Patients may continue study treatment until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events, start of a new anti-cancer therapy, consent withdrawal, death, or end of the study. Patients who have met the criteria for disease progression (PD) according to RECIST v1.1 may continue to receive study treatment if the investigator believes the patient is receiving clinical benefit and the patient is willing to continue on study treatment. After discontinuation of study treatment, all patients will be followed for survival until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or end of study.
Brain metastases are the most common intracranial malignancy occurring in 20-40% of all cancers, and the presence of CNS metastases is associated with a poor prognosis. As such, the median overall survival of patients with symptomatic brain lesions is a dismal 2-3 months regardless of tumor type. Because standard chemotherapy largely does not cross the blood brain barrier at a meaningful concentration, standard treatment is limited and usually involves surgical resection and/or stereotactic radiosurgery for isolated lesions and whole brain radiation for multiple lesions. Unfortunately, the median overall survival is only improved by about 6 months with this multimodality approach2, and there is a paucity of second-line therapies to treat recurrence. Furthermore, re-resection and re-radiation are often not feasible options due to concern for increasing complications or neurotoxicity, respectively. Thus, there is a dire clinical need for additional treatment options for this patient population. Checkpoint blockade therapy, in particular PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibition, has recently shown clinical efficacy in multiple types of solid tumors. The investigators propose to study the efficacy of checkpoint blockade therapy in patients with solid tumors and refractory/recurrent brain metastases. The investigators will assess the efficacy of MEDI4736, a novel PD-L1 inhibitory monoclonal antibody, in this study.
This is a randomized, open-label, phaseⅡ study evaluating efficacy and safety of DC (dendritic cells) vaccine concurrent with chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with stage IV NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer) with wild-type EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor).
This is a phase II therapeutic study of adding exemestane therapy in post-menopausal women with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are progressing while on treatment with an immune checkpoint antibody (pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, or nivolumab).
The trial consists of a series of parallel multi-centre single arm phase II trial arms, each testing an experimental targeted drug in a population stratified by multiple pre-specified actionable target putative biomarkers. The primary objective is to evaluate whether there is a signal of activity in each drug-(putative)biomarker cohort separately. A Bayesian adaptive design is adopted to achieve this objective and statistical details are given in the Protocol.
