View clinical trials related to Adenocarcinoma of Lung.
Filter by:Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide, with more than 1.5 million related deaths annually. Lung cancer is divided into two main groups: Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC) and Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC), with prevalence of ~20% and 80% respectively. NSCLC is further subdivided into adenocarcinoma (the most common), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and large cell carcinoma. Furthermore, each subtype is likely to have specific mutations, which could be targeted for treatment. Medical imaging and radiomics feature extraction represent a candidate alternative to conventional tissue biopsy, a theory that is investigated in this study.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the Singapore population, being the 2nd most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst males and 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst females. Pulmonologists, oncologists and thoracic surgeons are often consulted for the evaluation of imaging-identified pulmonary nodules. These may have been identified either incidentally or through screening. The majority of these are indeterminate and definitive investigation with biopsy or resection is invasive and not without risk. Hence, current consensus guidelines adopt a largely expectant strategy in the management of these indeterminate pulmonary nodules. There is substantial evidence that lung cancer in Asians may be unique with multiple driver mutations, lower age of presentation and may be independent of tobacco exposure. In addition, there are guidelines that recommend that the management of lung nodules in Asia should account for these differences. However, the evidence for alternative recommendations is lacking. The aim of the study will be to identify radiological and clinical predictors that can improve the diagnosis of lung nodules. These predictors may help build a model for lung nodule evaluation and surveillance. Prospective database of subjects meeting all of the following inclusion criteria to participate in this study. 1. Evidence of lung nodule on chest radiograph or Computed Tomography regardless of underlying aetiology 2. Age ³ 21 years old 3. Ability to provide informed consent This study will collect existing or prospective data that is part of standard clinical care from the electronic medical record of patients (ambulatory and inpatient from May 2018-2023.
This prospective phase II study is determined to explore the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy and bevacizumab maintenance therapy for oligometastatic lung adenocarcinoma with negative driver genes
This prospective phase II study is to determine the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab maintenance therapy after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced lung adenocarcinoma
The PIONEER Initiative stands for Precision Insights On N-of-1 Ex vivo Effectiveness Research. The PIONEER Initiative is designed to provide access to functional precision medicine to any cancer patient with any tumor at any medical facility. Tumor tissue is saved at time of biopsy or surgery in multiple formats, including fresh and cryopreserved as a living biospecimen. SpeciCare assists with access to clinical records in order to provide information back to the patient and the patient's clinical care team. The biospecimen tumor tissue is stored in a bio-storage facility and can be shipped anywhere the patient and the clinical team require for further testing. Additionally, the cryopreservation of the biospecimen allows for decisions about testing to be made at a later date. It also facilitates participation in clinical trials. The ability to return research information from this repository back to the patient is the primary end point of the study. The secondary end point is the subjective assessment by the patient and his or her physician as to the potential benefit that this additional information provides over standard of care. Overall the goal of PIONEER is to enable best in class functional precision testing of a patient's tumor tissue to help guide optimal therapy (to date this type of analysis includes organoid drug screening approaches in addition to traditional genomic profiling).
This study will determine the highest dose of L-DOS47 that can be given in combination with vinorelbine/cisplatin, evaluate safety and tolerability of L-DOS47 when given in combination with vinorelbine/cisplatin, and assess how effective this combination is in treating patients with lung adenocarcinoma compared to patients who are given vinorelbine/cisplatin alone.
This phase II Lung-MAP trial studies how well rucaparib works in treating patients with genomic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) high and/or deleterious BRCA1/2 mutation stage IV non-small cell lung cancer or that has come back. Rucaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Tumor genomic clonal evolution assessed with liquid biopsy of stage IB,II and IIIA non-small cell lung cancer patients after getting radical resection. Plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis detects molecule residual disease and predicts recurrence in patients. The concordance of the relative abundance of mutations in plasma ctDNA with cancer recurrence.
Lung adenocarcinoma with inactive LKB1 has emerged as a particularly aggressive form of lung cancer, with poor response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Recent preclinical evidences have demonstrated that LKB1-inactive lung adenocarcinoma is characterized by specific metabolic vulnerabilities, which make it hypersensitive to energetic crisis. For instance, by inhibiting mitochondrial metabolism and reducing ATP availability to cancer cells, the antidiabetic compound metformin has anticancer activity and prevents acquired resistance to cisplatin in lung adenocarcinoma with inactive LKB1. Similarly to metformin, glucose starvation, which can be recapitulated in vivo by cyclic fasting or fasting-mimicking diet (FMD), can cause metabolic crisis in these neoplasms. In this trial, the investigators will assess for the first time the efficacy of combining standard-of-care platinum-based chemoimmunotherapy with metformin plus/minus FMD in patients with LKB1-inactive, advanced lung adenocarcinoma.
Currently, it is the standard of care practice to perform daily routine CXR when a chest tube is in situ following pulmonary resection. However, previous research as well as experience of thoracic surgeons suggested this kind of management has poor diagnostic and therapeutic value. Eliminating daily routine CXR for adult patients having undergone pulmonary surgery might decrease the frequency of radiation exposure and hospitalization costs per patient without increasing reintervention rates, length of hospital stays, readmission rates or any adverse events.
