Filter by:The precise and accurate size of DLT is a prerequisite to ensure its accurate position of its placement. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technology can accurately reproduce the tracheobronchial structure to improve the correct size selection of DLT. To make it simpler, the investigators developed an automatic comparison software for 3D reconstruction based on computed tomography data (3DRACS). In this study, the investigators aimed to prove that 3DRACS is much more efficient in endobronchial intubation compared to the traditional method.
The overarching goal of the Kentucky LEADS Collaborative Lung Cancer Survivorship Care program is to reduce the burden of lung cancer by offering an innovative survivorship care approach that improves lung cancer quality of life, overcomes lung cancer stigma, and helps survivors engage with care. The project involves a two-group parallel randomized clinical trial comparing the impact of the Kentucky LEADS Collaborative Lung Cancer Survivorship Care program (KLCLCSC) among lung cancer survivors (N=300) against an enhanced usual care condition (bibliotherapy+assessment) on quality of life outcomes.
The goal of this interventional non-inferiority trial is to assess the accuracy of different real-time motion management radiotherapy techniques. The main question the study aims to answer are: - What are the target margins for radiotherapy with motion management that are not inferior to target margin without motion management - What are the dosimetric and geometrical accuracy to patient for the motion management techniques. Participants will answer QoL questionary, and the accuracy of treatment will be assessed from treatment data.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how Moovcare®, a mobile medical application, can be used to monitor Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) related to cancer treatment, cancer complications, and cancer relapse in patients with lung cancer. PROs are symptoms directly reported by patients through the completion of a survey. Up to 50 patients undergoing treatment and/or surveillance for new or existing diagnoses of lung cancer at the University of North Carolina's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center will be prospectively enrolled to the use of the mobile medical application Moovcare® for 6 months. Moovcare® is not FDA approved, and its role in improving clinical care is being studied through this research. Moovcare® automatically delivers electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) surveys on common symptoms experienced by lung cancer patients.
The researchers plan to investigate two ways of visualizing and planning to account for the respiratory motion which takes place while treating lung tumors with radiation therapy. The researchers will determine if a traditional snapshot (free-breathing) CT or a longer-lasting CT encompassing the breathing cycle better matches a patient's breathing during treatment.
This is a phase Ib/II open label study. The escalation part will characterize the safety and tolerability of JDQ443 single agent and JDQ443 in combination with the other study treatments (TNO155 and tislelizumab) in advanced solid tumor patients. After the determination of the maximum tolerated dose / recommended dose for a particular treatment arm, dose expansion will assess the anti-tumor activity and further assess the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of each regimen at the maximum tolerated dose / recommended dose or lower dose.
The objective of the study is to induce a meaningful progression-free survival benefit in patients with Malign Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) after progression on first line standard platinum doublet chemotherapy, by treating with nivolumab and ipilimumab with or without UV1 vaccine.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if high-intensive training can mobilize and activate the immune system, and thereby enhance the effect of the conventional treatment of lung cancer patients. An important aspect of this study will investigate if the presence of various proteins and cells in blood and tumor biopsies can verify or predict the effect of the high-intensive training. In this clinical trial, patients with lung cancer will combine their conventional therapy with a six-week exercise program.
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).
Patients with medically inoperable primary soft tissue lesion of the lung will have transbronchial microwave ablation performed via transbronchial approach by an interventional pulmonologist or thoracic surgeon using CT imaging. Prior to the ablation procedure, the treating physician will use endobronchial ultrasound to confirm staging. Patients will be followed for one year following the ablation procedure for efficacy and safety.
