Filter by:This phase III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy to immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) versus immunotherapy alone in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab and chemotherapy may help stabilize lung cancer.
This phase II trial tests whether subcutaneous atezolizumab can be effectively given at home with medical care provided primarily using telemedicine in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This study may help determine if a telemedicine based approach that gives atezolizumab at home using a version of the drug designed for subcutaneous injection under the skin is safe and feasible.
This phase II trial tests whether a supportive care intervention (Resiliency among Older Adults Receiving Lung Cancer Treatment [ROAR-LCT]) is effective in improving physical and emotional wellbeing in patients with stage IIIA, IIIB, and IV lung cancer undergoing cancer treatment. Lung cancers are one of the most common cancers. Lung cancers occur in the chest and often cause symptoms for patients. Poor physical performance and negative mood are two risk factors for a decline in functional status. Targeted interventions may address these two risk factors and improve functional status and resilience. Physical therapy and relaxation interventions (i.e. progressive muscle relaxation) are two such interventions that may improve symptoms and quality of life for patients with cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of COH06 with or without atezolizumab in patients with non-small cell lung cancer previously treated with PD-1 and/or PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). NK cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill tumor cells. The NK cells given in this study, COH06, will come from umbilical cord blood and will have a new gene put in them that makes them express PD-L1, and express and secrete IL-15. NK cells that express PD-L1 may kill more tumor cells, and IL-15 may allow the NK cells to live longer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving COH06 without or without atezolizumab may help control the disease in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
This phase I trial tests the safety and tolerability of an experimental personalized vaccine when given by itself and with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The experimental vaccine is designed target certain proteins (neoantigens) on individuals' tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving the personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccine with pembrolizumab may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
This phase Ib trial tests the side effects and best dose of minnelide when given together with osimertinib for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and has a change (mutation) in a gene called EGFR. Minnelide is a biologically inactive compound that can be broken down in the body to produce a drug that rapidly releases the active compound triptolide when exposed to phosphatases in the bloodstream. Sometimes, mutations in the EGFR gene cause EGFR proteins to be made in higher than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This causes cancer cells to divide more rapidly. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking EGFR that is needed for cell growth in this type of cancer. Minnelide and osimertinib may work better in treating patients with EGFR mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
This phase I trial finds out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of papaverine when given together with chemoradiation intreating patients with stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer. Papaverine targets mitochondrial metabolism to decrease the cancer growth process. Giving papaverine with chemoradiation may work best to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
This study assesses cardiovascular injury and cardiac fitness in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) receiving model based personalized chemoradiation. The goal of this study is to learn more about the risk of developing heart disease as a result of chemoradiation treatment for lung cancer. Researchers also want to learn if the risk can be reduced by using a patient's individual risk profile to guide cancer treatment and help protect the heart.
This study evaluates gut microbiome and functional status as modifiable biomarkers in predicting immunotherapy response and toxicity in patients with stage IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer receiving pembrolizumab alone or in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin on the INSIGNIA trial. The goal of this study is to estimate the extent to which future interventions that seek to rationally modify the gut microbiome and/or functional status can improve outcomes.
This phase II/III trial compares the addition of radiation therapy to the usual treatment (immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy) versus (vs.) usual treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) whose tumor is also negative for a molecular marker called PD-L1. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a type of radiation therapy that uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. This method uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors with fewer doses over a shorter period and may cause less damage to normal tissue than conventional radiation therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The addition of radiation therapy to usual treatment may stop the cancer from growing and increase the life of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are PD-L1 negative.
