Filter by:"Risk factors of Immune-ChEckpoint inhibitor MEdiated Liver, gastrointestinal, endocrine and skin Toxicity" (ICEMELT) study is a prospective multicenter cohort study, enrolling patients who are scheduled to receive (1) single agent PD1/L1 inhibitor; (2) PD1/L1 inhibitor plus CTLA4 inhibitor; (3) platinum-based chemotherapy + PD1/L1 inhibitor; (4) PD1/L1 inhibitor and tyrosine kinase inhibitor and (5) PD1/L1 inhibitor and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor.
Pancreatic and biliary tract cancer are ones of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. During the course of illness, these patients often experience marked physical suffering, psychological distress and frequent unplanned resource-demanding hospitalized care. Patients with pancreatic and lung cancer have highest rates of unplanned hospitalizations. Investigator initiated prospective "Study of Supportive Application with Integrated Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients with Advanced Pancreatic or Biliary Tract Cancer (BetterEveryDay)" is to be initiated based on the great need for optimizing treatment care, reducing hospitalizations and improving outcomes.
To evaluate the predictive value of ctDNA in response, relapse for patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors or targeted therapy for ALK, ROS1, MET ex14 skipping.
This study will collect de-identified tumor samples, with correlated clinical/demographic data and tissue histology, from patients selected or scheduled for pre-treatment tumor biopsy or who have had a recent pre-treatment tumor biopsy. These specimens and clinical data may be used in subsequent studies for the development and validation of a diagnostic test.
To assess efficacy and safety of oral X-396 (Ensartinib) capsule in Chinese ALK-positive NSCLC patients with brain metastases, eligible patients will be enrolled with objective responses being primary outcome measures.
The study comprises two phases: phase I dose escalation (including PK run-in period and treatment period) and phase II study.
Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) are effective therapies for advanced lung cancer patients bearing EGFR-activating mutations, but are not curative due to the invariable apparition of resistances. The investigator team have identified a new phenotype related to drug tolerance after EGFR-TKI treatment that shares several characteristics of a known process of Therapy-Induced Senescence (TIS), which could be a major event of drug tolerance in patients. Using cutting-edge technologies, patient-derived xenografts (PDX) and circulating tumor cells (CTC), the investigator team will perform an exhaustive characterization of the phenotypic and molecular changes associated with this drug-tolerant state in patients. Their results should lead to new therapeutic approaches to eliminate the reservoir of drug-tolerant cells and to prevent emergence of resistance mutations responsible for the relapse of patients.
Gefitinib is currently the standard-of-care for patients with activating-EGFR mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, ~30-40% patients are still nonresponsive, and experience significantly varying duration of response and survival rate. Anlotinib is an efficient multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that effectively block the migration and proliferation of endothelial cells and reduce tumor microvascular density by targeting VEGFRs, FGFRs, PDGFRs. It has been proved to be safe and effective in advanced lung cancer after second-line standard chemotherapy failure, which can significantly extend the survival of patients and approves as a third-line treatment for advanced NSCLC. Here, we prepared to evaluate whether the combination of gefitinb and anlotinib can preferably improved survival of untreated NSCLC with EGFR activating mutation.
The trial is designed as a prospective observational single arm study investigating stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients who are routinely treated with a PD-1 inhibitor for indications approved by Health Canada. All patients who are selected will be referred for palliative thoracic radiotherapy and treated with a standard dose prescription of 30 Gy in 10 fractions.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for more than two-thirds of lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Taiwan. The overall prognosis of NSCLC is poor with low 5-year survival rates. Recent advances suggest that malignancy NSCLC cancers are the cancer stem cell (CSC) diseases. The stemness potentials of CSC with epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation ensure their invasion and disseminate to metastsis organs. The self-renewal property of CSC mediates intrinsic drug resistance to cytotoxicity therapy and promoted aggressive relapse tumour. Metabolic reprogramming on bioenergetics of malignant cancer cells has been proposed as the key mediator in the stemness CSC development. Malignancy cells uptake glucose for fermented glycolysis to produce lactate which release resulted in acidified microenvironment to trigger the mTOR and sonic hedgehog metabolic stress signaling in supporting CSC stemness potentials. The metabostemness of cancer cells is the new-dimensional hallmark of malignancy tumour, which may serve as the diagnostic markers for the early detection of malignancy cancers. Folate-mediated one carbon metabolism coordinates glucose into amino acid metabolism to tailor the fuel metabolites in supporting macromolecule synthesis and to sustain the bioenergetics requirement. Acting as the metabolic stressor, low folate intake is associated with increased risks of lung cancers. Folate and one-carbon nutrient status of NSCLC patients in Taiwan, however, has not been assessed. The role of low folate metabolic stress (LFMS) in metabostemness marker and metastasis potentials of malignancy NSCLC is unexplored. The causal effect and the working mechanisms by which LFMS promoted NSCLC malignancy remain elusive.
