Filter by:Lung carcinoma is the second most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. In Egypt, lung carcinoma ranks the 5th among all cancer cases. Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive neoplasm that arises from mesothelial cells which form the lining of the pleural. There is a strong resemblance between epithelioid mesothelioma and lung adenocarcinoma, some of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma or SCC present with pleurotropic growth like mesothelioma. Glypican-1 (GPC1) is one the six glypican family members. It is one of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans that acts as a growth factor signaling. The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of Glypican-1 in pleural epitheloid mesothelioma, lung adenocarcinoma and lung SCC
This trial is a phase I study in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure of second line therapy aiming to evaluate safety and efficacy of CC-1, a bispecific antibody (bsAb) with PSMAxCD3 specificity developed within DKTK. CC-1 binds to human prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on tumor cells of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SCC) as well as to tumor vessels of SCC, thereby allowing for a dual mode of anti-cancer action. CC-1 was developed in a novel format which not only prolongs serum half-life but most importantly reduces off-target T cell activation with expected fewer side effects. Together with preemptive IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) blockade using tocilizumab, this allows for application of effective bsAb doses with expected high anticancer activity. The study comprises two phases: The first phase is a dose-escalation phase with concomitant prophylactic application of tocilizumab to evaluate the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of CC-1. This is followed by a dose-expansion phase (also with prophylactic IL-6R blockade using tocilizumab). A translational research program comprising, among others, analysis of CC-1 half-life and the induced immune response as well as molecular profiling in liquid biopsies will serve to better define the mode of action of CC-1 and to identify biomarkers for further clinical development.
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in China. Despite advances in systemic therapy and improvement nonsurvival rates for patients with advanced lung cancer, morbidity and mortality remain high. Recently, many studies reported that patients with positive driving genes such as EGFR(epidermal growth factor receptor,EGFR), ALK(anaplastic lymphoma kinase,ALK), ROS1(c-ros oncogene 1 receptor,ROS1), BRAF (V-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1, BRAF)and so on have clearly targeted drugs, which bring survival benefits to patients. However, about half of patients still lack a clear driving gene target, which may have improved survival due to higher response rates to radiation therapy and other chemotherapy medications. Development of noninvasive imaging biomarkers such as CT (computed tomography,CT)and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging,MRI)may not only evaluate the response to therapy ,but also could predict the efficacy of drug therapy and whether the driving gene is positive or not, through analysing the relationship between clinical related data and imaging features to find the imaging characteristics for making clinical decisions, and, consequently, contribute to an improved prognosis.
This study evaluates whether EC treatment is effective in delaying the progression of high-grade lung lesion(s) to invasive lung cancer. Participants will be randomised to receive either electrocautery (EC) treatment with bronchoscopy surveillance (=intervention), or bronchoscopy surveillance alone (=control) in a 2:1 ratio.
This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter phase III clinical study. Target population is patients with stage IV squamous non-small cell lung cancer who had not received systemic chemotherapy. Study objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of SHR-1210 + carboplatin + paclitaxel with placebo + carboplatin + paclitaxel in study population in China. SHR-1210 is a humanized anti-PD1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody.
This research study is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for cancer that might have a specific change in the phosphatidylinositol-3 phosphate (PI3K) pathway.
