Filter by:This is a phase II Randomized comparison clinical trial of activated CIK armed with anti-CD3-MUC1 bispecific antibody for advanced lung cancer. And the aim of this research is to study the clinical efficacy and safety of activated CIK armed with anti-CD3-MUC1 bispecific antibody for lung cancer.
The NSCLC patients who failed the standard treatments, with positive Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, were enrolled into this trial. About 22 advanced NSCLC patients will be screened according to the criteria. The qualified patients will be recruited and sign the informed consent.Participants will be hospitalized and undergo clinical examinations. Appropriate volume of peripheral blood will be draw (from 66 ml to 360 ml, depend on the body weight and blood routine test), using Ficoll method to centrifuge peripheral blood cell and collected T cells. PD-L1 CAR gene is cloned in a lenti-viral vector that was composed of T cell activation molecules (Cluster of Differentiation 137 (CD137/CD28) and Cluster of Differentiation 3(CD3) zeta intracellular domains) and PD-L1 single-chain variable fragment(scFv) derived from the variable regions of a PD-L1 monoclonal antibody.Then, investigators packaged pseudo-lentiviral particles in human embryonic kidney (293T) cells that will be used to transduce autologous T cells isolated from the patients. CAR positive T lymphocytes will be determined by FACS with florescence labeled goat anti-human F(ab')2. The plasmids, pseudo-lentiviral particles and transduced T cells will be subject to the stipulated tests by a third party. Patients will receive leukodepletion chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide: 250mg/m^2 × 3 days; fludarabine: 25mg/m^2× 3 days). One day later, the chemotherapeutic effects would be assessed. PD-L1 CAR-T cells will be infused on day 0 with 10%, day 3 with 30% and day 7 with 60% (total number is (1-2)×10^6/kg). The patients will be observed closely for any adverse reactions and if happened, given supportive treatments. The patients will be discharged on day 14 and will be followed up for two years according to the study scheme, i.e. once a month for the first three months; once every two months in the first year; since then, once a quarter in the second year. The persistence of PD-L1 CAR-T cells in the circulation will be monitored by fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). If the patients undergo core needle biopsy, the infiltration of CAR positive cells in the tumor tissue will be evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The safety profile and anti-tumor efficacy of the CAR-T cells immunotherapy will be assessed during the whole process based on CTCAE v4.1 and RECIST v1.1.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if MEDI4736 given in combination with selumetinib can help to control advanced lung cancer. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of cell therapy using Precision Cell Immunotherapy to treat Advanced Lung Cancer. Eligibility: Individuals greater than or equal to 18 years of age and less than or equal to 65 years of age who have been diagnosed with Advanced Lung Cancer.

i. Project Background Patients with advanced lung cancer have a high symptom burden and low quality of life. Early palliative care improves patient outcomes in newly diagnosed advanced lung cancer patients, but previously tested models are not feasible for widespread adoption. Hence, the aim of this study is to pilot a more sustainable nurse-led intervention - Enhancing Quality of life in Patients (EQUIP). ii. Hypothesis / Aim The aims of this study are three-fold. Firstly, the investigators aim to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the EQUIP intervention itself. Secondly, the investigators aim to obtain a tentative estimate of efficacy of the EQUIP intervention. Thirdly, the investigators aim to determine the data completion rate of patient reported outcome measures in the context of the EQUIP trial. iii. Methods Patients with newly diagnosed stage 3 or stage 4 lung cancer will be recruited and randomized to the EQUIP intervention or usual care (control) group. Patients randomized to the EQUIP intervention group will receive four face-to-face sessions with a palliative care nurse. The content of these educational sessions will equip patients with the knowledge and skills to manage the three commonest symptoms of fatigue, breathlessness and anxiety. All participants will complete the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung (FACT-L), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the stigma subscale at four time points: baseline, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after recruitment. Measures of healthcare use will also be recorded. Additionally, participants in the intervention group will complete a feedback survey after each intervention session. A total sample of 60 patients (30 in each arm) will be recruited. Clinical Significance If successful, this study will lead to a larger scale phase III trial which tests various components of the EQUIP intervention, in order to develop a sustainable and effective model for the provision of palliative care to advanced lung cancer patients.
Proof of principle phase 1b / randomised phase 2 study of afatinib penetration into cerebral metastases for patients undergoing neurosurgical resection, both with and without prior low-dose, targeted radiotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lucitanib is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic lung cancer and fibroblast growth factor (FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF), or platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) related genetic alterations.
About 18 patients will take part in the phase 1 portion of the trial. In the beginning of the study, 3 patients will be treated with a low dose of ganetespib (STA-9090) and the standard dose of crizotinib. If this dose does not cause significant side effects, it will be increased as new patients take part in the study. The study will only be open at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
