Filter by:Dose distribution calculations for proton therapy are more accurate when based on DE-CT than on SE-CT. It is however unclear what the quantitative benefit of repeated DE-CT calculations is for lung cancer patients.
This pilot trial studies patient function/fitness and psychosocial health in improving health-related quality of life and decreasing treatment-related toxicity in patients with stage I-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Studying function/fitness and psychosocial health may help doctors improve conventional therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug ramucirumab in combination with weekly docetaxel in participants with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following disease progression after prior platinum-based chemotherapy.
Though patients whose tumors harbor EGFR T790M mutation appear to benefit from rociletinib, there is a need to understand the molecular mechanisms that lead to primary and acquired resistance to rociletinib. The investigators propose to conduct a clinical trial of rociletinib of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC with activating EGFR mutations (including exon 19 deletion or L858R mutation), with or without EGFR T790M mutation. In these patients, pre-treatment and post-progression biopsy specimens will be subjected to genomic analysis to fully understand the clonal evolution and the molecular mechanisms underpinning treatment resistance.
The primary purpose of this research study is to see whether adding bavituximab (an investigational drug) to durvalumab will improve the results of the treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter, non-randomized, single arm, phase II study to assess efficacy and safety of the dabrafenib and trametinib combination in Japanese patients with any line, stage IV NSCLC harboring a confirmed BRAF V600E mutation. Patients will receive oral dabrafenib twice daily and oral trametinib once daily combination therapy. Patients may continue study treatment until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events, start of a new anti-cancer therapy, consent withdrawal, death, or end of the study. Patients who have met the criteria for disease progression (PD) according to RECIST v1.1 may continue to receive study treatment if the investigator believes the patient is receiving clinical benefit and the patient is willing to continue on study treatment. After discontinuation of study treatment, all patients will be followed for survival until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or end of study.
Feasibility and Safety study of autologous dendritic cell immunotherapy (AGS-003-LNG) in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer.
This study will look at the safety of the combination of three drugs (CDX-1401, Poly-ICL, and Pembrolizumab) and its effect on decreasing tumors. Pembrolizumab is an experimental cancer drug. CDX-1401 is a tumor specific antigen and Poly-ICL is a Toll-like receptor agonist tumor specific antigens which when combined with Pembrolizumab may increase the tumor response to this drug.
It is common practice to insert a Foley catheter into the bladder to drain urine during and after a lung resection. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the potential risks associated with this catheterization, particularly with regard to infection. As thoracic surgery adopts minimally invasive surgical techniques, the need for urinary catheterization during surgery is being questioned since these less invasive surgeries are known to result in less post-operative acute pain, shorter length of stay, and other outcomes that tend to decrease overall anesthetic needs for this patient population. Thus, there is a need to investigate whether patients who have had a minimally invasive lung resection truly need the Foley catheter at all. This will be achieved by assigning patients to either an experimental no-catheter group or the standard of care routine urinary catheter group to determine if patients with no catheter experience different rates of complications. This pilot study will primarily determine if there is a difference in post operative urinary complications between the groups. It is hoped that this study will definitively determine whether a Foley urine catheter is a necessary procedure in the course of a minimally invasive lung resection.
This is an open label phase 2 study to evaluate the combination of Vigil™ and nivolumab in advanced or metastatic NSCLC that is progressive on or after one prior platinum-based systemic therapy. Patients meeting study eligibility criteria will receive Vigil™ every 2 weeks (for a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12 doses) and nivolumab every 2 weeks. The combination of Vigil™ and nivolumab will demonstrate a higher objective response rate (ORR) than the historical ORR of single agent nivolumab in patients with advanced NSCLC.
