Filter by:The NutriCare study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the efficacy of an innovative intervention strategy (medically tailored meals plus nutrition counseling) to integrate nutrition into the standard of care for oncology to improve outcomes of vulnerable patients with lung cancer. The NutriCare study evaluates the efficacy of the intervention on optimizing nutritional status, reducing treatment-related toxicities, and improving the quality of life of patients with lung cancer who are economically disadvantaged, uninsured, racial and ethnic minorities, elderly, and/or rural residents from four major medical centers in diverse regions of the United States (U.S.). There will be two cohorts for NutriCare with cohort 1 recruiting 150 patients completing an 8-month intervention and cohort 2 recruiting 120 patients completing a 6-month intervention.
The goal of this study is to evaluate whether providing Pembrolizumab prolongs survival and preserves quality of life while minimizing side effects for patients with NSCLC with untreated asymptomatic brain metastasis.
The development of Immune Checkpoint Blockade (ICB) is a revolution in medical oncology as ICB have changed the standard treatments of several metastatic tumor types. However, the response rate to ICB is low, and the biological bases for this response heterogeneity are poorly understood. In the frame of Immunosup study, we will collect blood (at baseline, post infusion of ICB n°2/4/8 and at progression) and tumor samples (optional: at baseline and progression) from patients with locally advanced or metastatic cancer, treated with ICB, in order to determine if the dynamics of immunosuppressive actors (MDSC, TReg, Immunosuppressive cytokines) predicts response to these immunotherapies.
Durvalumab is a new type of drug for many kinds of cancer. It is considered "immunotherapy" and not "chemotherapy". Laboratory tests show that it works by allowing the immune system to detect cancer and reactivate the immune response. This may help to slow down the growth of cancer or may cause cancer cells to die. Durvalumab has been shown to shrink tumours in animals and has been studied in more than 5000 people and seems promising. Tremelimumab is a new type of drug for various types of cancers. It works in a similar way to durvalumab and may improve the effect of durvalumab. Tremelimumab may also help slow the growth of the cancer cells or may cause cancer cells to die. It has been shown to shrink tumours in animals and has been studied in over 1200 people and seems promising.
