Filter by:This pilot study aims to evaluate the test-retest variability of [18F]F-AraG-PET imaging in patients with advanced NSCLC tumors. The main objectives of the study are to quantify the uptake of [18F]F-AraG in tumors and lymphoid tissue in two consecutive scans spaced not longer than 7 days apart from each other to estimate the magnitude of physiologic and measurement variability. To explore these objectives, eligible subjects will undergo two [18F]F-AraG PET/CT scans within 7 days of each other prior to receiving treatment. This study is a single-site, open-label, non-randomized, single-arm pilot trial. Patients and care providers will not be blinded to any part of the study.
The purpose of this study is to learn about dacomitinib for the possible treatment of lung cancer which has spread to other parts of the body. This study is seeking participants who: - have lung cancer that has reached at least the brain. - have a type of gene called epidermoid growth factor receptor. A gene is a part of your DNA that has instructions for making things your body needs to work. - have not received any treatment before. All participants in this study will receive dacomitnib 1 time a day. Dacomitinib is a tablet that is taken by mouth at home. They can continue to take dacomitnib until their cancer is no longer responding. The study will look at the experiences of people receiving the study medicine. This will help to see if the study medicine is safe and effective.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nintedanib with EGFR-TKI in participants with advanced EGFR-TKI-resistant non-small cell lung cancer
In recent years, fasting or the use of special diets (ketogenic, high protein, etc.), whether or not associated with food supplements, have increased substantially, particularly in oncology with the idea of improving for some of them, the tolerance of the proposed treatments, in particular emetogenic chemotherapy, or even to improve the prognosis. Although there are preclinical data on cell cultures and in rats, the clinical data supporting these practices are very fragmented, with few trials carried out and only including small cohorts, mainly in the context of breast cancers. It is therefore very difficult to respond objectively to patients asking the question of the merits of these changes in dietary practices in the management of their cancer. The investigators want to carry out an inventory of the dietary practices of participating patients and their potential interest in fasting or special diets by means of a self-administered survey completed by the patient at diagnosis before treatment. This semi-quantitative self-administered survey (answers in never / sometimes / regularly / systematically) was developed by the nutrition and radiotherapy team of the Georges-Pompidou European Hospital because there was no validated medical questionnaire on fasting or the use of special diets in oncology
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of osimertinib, cetuximab, and tucatinib in treating patients with EFGR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent). Osimertinib and tucatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cetuximab is a chimeric human/mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a receptor overexpressed in many types of cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving osimertinib, cetuximab, and tucatinib may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
Background: A type of drug called monoclonal antibody immune checkpoint inhibitors are often used in cancer treatment. These drugs help the body s immune system fight cancer by blocking proteins that cause cancer cells to grow. One of these drugs (atezolizumab) is approved to treat certain cancers. Researchers want to find out if lower doses of this drug might provide the same benefit with fewer adverse effects. Objective: To test different doses and timing of atezolizumab for people with cancer. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with cancer that has spread locally or to other organs. They must be eligible for treatment with the study drug. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests and imaging scans. They will provide a sample of tissue from their tumor. Atezolizumab is administered through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Participants will take this drug alone or combined with other drugs prescribed for their care. The first 2 treatments will be done per the FDA recommended dose and schedule. Before administering the second dose of the study drug, researchers will check the level of the drug in the participant s blood. Depending on those results, their 3rd dose will be scheduled 2 to 6 weeks later. For the 3rd dose of the study drug, participants will switch to the FDA minimum dosage. Dosages of any other drugs will not change. Researchers will continue to test the levels of the drug in participants blood before each treatment for 16 weeks. After that, these levels will be tested every 3 months. Study treatment may last up to 2 years.
Veterans with advanced lung cancer may benefit from recent advances in technologies that is designed to change the activities of their own white blood cells and help kill tumors. However, many cancers can hide from white blood cells making white blood cells less effective in killing tumors. In this study the investigators plan to boost the activity of patients white blood cell by making tumor cells more visible to the white blood cells. This will be done by injecting antibodies and a new drug that together can make white blood cells inside tumors more active. The investigators plan to recruit sixteen people with advanced lung cancer to make sure that this treatment, which has not been done in any humans, is safe and well tolerated.
Explore the relationship between drug target ALK gene single nucleotide polymorphisms and XALKORI - Crizotinib therapeutic-effects in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, based on Oxford precisely sequencing drug targets' genes. Explore the relationship between drug target CYP4503A gene single nucleotide polymorphisms and XALKORI - Crizotinib side-effects in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, based on Oxford precisely sequencing drug targets' genes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the preliminary affects of "Breathe Easier," an evidence-based multi-level mindfulness intervention (i.e., progressive web application) for survivors of lung cancer. The key aims of this study are to (1) Evaluate the feasibility (usability, acceptability intervention adherence) of the "Breathe Easier" and (2) assess the impact of the intervention on dyspnea, fatigue, and quality of life among survivors of lung cancer. Participants in the intervention group will use the "Breathe Easier" progressive web application for a period of 8-weeks, while participants in the control group will receive no intervention. Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if there are salient differences in dyspnea, fatigue, and quality of life between the two groups.
This is a Phase II, two parallel group study assessing the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant and adjuvant targeted therapy in patients with stage IB-IIIA NSCLC harboring BRAF V600 or MET exon14 mutations.
