Filter by:Radiotherapy (RT) treatment to the chest is a standard way of trying to decrease symptoms like cough or shortness of breath. Before any RT can be delivered, it must be planned, either using conventional x-rays ("fluoroscopy") or using computer tomography ("CT") scanning. This study is being done because the investigators do not know which of these two common ways of RT planning is better for balancing both treating the cancer and decreasing side effects.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) major pulmonary resection with systematic node dissection (SND) for clinical stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Success is defined as VATS major pulmonary resection with SND without conversion. If success rate over 90%, VATS major pulmonary resection with SND is considered as feasible procedures for clinical stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.
The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic values of EBUS-TBNA in the mediastinal re-staging after induction treatment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Primary objective: 1. To determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and the accuracy of EBUS-TBNA in the detection of mediastinal metastasis in mediastinal re-staging after induction treatment. Secondary objectives: 1. To compare the diagnostic values of EBUS-TBNA and integrated PET/CT in mediastinal re-staging 2. To evaluate the changes of ultrasonographic features of mediastinal lymph nodes after induction therapy 3. To determine procedure related complications
This is a study in patients with chemotherapy induced anemia receiving multi-cycle chemotherapy for the treatment of stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate that overall survival (OS) is not worse in participants on darbepoetin alfa treated to a hemoglobin ceiling of 12.0 g/dL compared to participants treated with placebo.
This was a Phase II, open-label, single-arm, single-stage, multicenter trial in patients with relapsed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with the objective of assessing the activity of the combination of erlotinib and pertuzumab on the basis of the endpoint of FDG-PET response rate.
This is a Phase II, double-blind, randomized, multicenter trial designed to preliminarily evaluate the activity and safety of treatment with MetMAb + erlotinib versus erlotinib + placebo in second- and third-line Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Up to 180 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two treatment arms.
This is a pilot single institution study of DRibble vaccination + GM-CSF in patients with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC who have undergone 0-1 chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate immune responses induced by autologous DRibble vaccine in vivo and in vitro and against autologous and allogeneic lung cancer cells.
This is an open label trial for patients currently enrolled in other perifosine trials.
The purpose of this study is to assess the correlation of the predicted post-operative lung function with the observed post-operative lung function (FEV1 and DLCO) in patients who underwent surgical resection (FEV1 = Forced expiratory volume in 1-second. DLCO = Diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide. ppo = predicted postoperative.)and versus the gold standard QRRVP (Quantitative Radionuclide Study of Regional Lung Ventilation and Perfusion)
Lung cancer remains the most frequent cause of cancer death in both men and women in the world. Surgical resection using lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection or sampling has been a standard of care for operable early stage NSCLC. Several studies have reported high local control and survival using SBRT in stage I NSCLC patients. SBRT is now an accepted treatment for medically inoperable patients with stage I NSCLC and patients with operable stage I lung cancer are entered on clinical protocols. The purpose of this study is to conduct a phase III randomized study to compare CyberKnife SBRT with surgery, the current standard of care for stage I operable NSCLC.
