Filter by:The purpose of this study is to measure efficacy and safety of osimertinib as induction therapy prior to curative intent CRT and maintenance osimertinib in adult patients with Stage III, unresectable NSCLC with common EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletion or L858R).
The Phase 2a Evolution study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the OWL-EV1 Probe Breath Biopsy Test to differentiate between individuals with lung cancer and relevant contrast groups. The contrast groups will be representative of the clinical populations in which the test is intended to be used. Thus, Evolution Phase 2a will be designed as a cross-sectional, case-control trial that will be conducted at various sites, both in the UK and EU.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to test a disease-tailored, mindfulness-based intervention (Mindful Self-Compassion for Lung Cancer; MSC-LC) in adults diagnosed with lung cancer who are experiencing stigma. The current project seeks to: - Evaluate preliminary evidence for the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of MSC-LC in reducing stigma for adults with lung cancer, compared to a waitlist control condition - Elicit interventional impact not captured through quantitative measures with qualitative data from purposively sampled high responders and non-responders from the intervention condition Participants will randomized to either the MSC-LC intervention (a 10-week, virtually-delivered, group-based psychosocial intervention focused on the development of mindfulness and self-compassion skills) or to a waitlist control group that receives a referral to an NCI list of helpful mental health resources in their community. Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if the MSC-LC intervention reduces lung cancer stigma and increases self-compassion.
The primary objective of radiation therapy is to deliver a therapeutic dose of radiation precisely to the target while minimizing exposure to healthy surrounding tissues. Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) involves acquiring cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans just before or during treatment sessions. By comparing the CBCT images with the reference images from the treatment planning process, clinicians can make necessary adjustments to ensure precise targeting and account for any changes that may have occurred since the initial planning. Conventional CBCT technology is, however, limited by several factors including long acquisition times that result in motion artifacts in the image, smaller fields of view that limit the volume of anatomy that can be imaged, poor image quality that limits soft tissue visibility, and artifacts created by dense metal implants. This study will evaluate a novel CBCT imaging solution ("HyperSight") that has the potential to address the challenges of conventional CBCT.
The purpose of this study is to examine the short-term impact of Vocal Intonation Therapy (VIT) and Therapeutic Singing (TS) on respiratory function in patients with lung cancer. As a secondary outcome, this research will evaluate the effect of the music intervention on respiratory quality of life.
Positron emission tomoscintigraphy (PET) and contrast computed tomography (CTmdc) are diagnostic methods widely used in the staging and restaging of neoplastic diseases. In recent years, PET tomographs have been implemented, integrating a CT scanner into the PET tomograph (PET/CT): these tomographs are able to simultaneously acquire the function/metabolism study (PET) and the morgfostructural study (CT). Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the added diagnostic value of PET/CT compared to PET with consequent effect on the choice of treatment type. In addition to the potential clinical value deriving from the simultaneous execution of the two diagnostic methods, it is necessary to consider the possibility of a reduction in indirect costs deriving from the reduction of days of work lost and costs related to transport, both for the patient and for any companions. The aims of this multicenter observational study are: 1. evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of PET/CT, contrast-enhanced CT and contrast-enhanced PET/CT+CT performed in a single examination session (single staging) in cancer patients (patients suffering from lymphoma and lung cancer). 2. evaluate any psychological, quality of life and economic benefits deriving from carrying out the two diagnostic procedures in a single examination session.
The goal of this study is to learn if the Mind Over Matter (MOM) Intervention, a 5-week group program, can help Black and African American women deal with the fears, worries and sadness that often accompany cancer diagnosis and treatment. The main question this study aims to answer is: • Whether the MOM Intervention is feasible and acceptable among Black and African American women. We would also like to find out if: - The MOM Intervention decreases anxiety, depression and physical symptom severity for Black and African American women. - The MOM Intervention is culturally and linguistically appropriate, and identify barriers, strengths, and areas of improvement. Participants will: - Attend a Pre-Program Orientation - Attend 5 weekly MOM Sessions - Complete 2 questionnaires (one will be given before the first MOM Session begins, and the other will be given after the last MOM Session) Participants also have the choice to attend an optional Focus Group, which will be offered after the last MOM Session. Please note, this entire Intervention will be offered online. There will be no in-person sessions or visits.
A prospective, open-label and parallel non-randomized control trial and biomarker research study is intended to compare incidence of repeated COVID-19 infection, severe pneumonitis and mortality between lung cancer patients undergoing systemic antitumor therapies who get vaccinated with 1 booster dose(majorly against XBB) and those who refuse. Meanwhile, a biomarker research is designed to monitor serum level dynamics of specific antibodies against COVID-19,analyze its correlation with incidence of breakthrough infection and further explore optimal periods for vaccination.
Immunotherapy effectiveness and optimal combination strategy in lung cancers with EGFR uncommon and 20ins mutations was unclear. Based on 627 lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring EGFR mutations and receiving immunotherapy, we reported that patients with EGFR uncommon mutations had better response to immunotherapy, than EGFR 19del/L858R or 20in mutations. Immunotherapy monotherapy or plus chemotherapy was identified as better combination strategy for EGFR uncommon or 20ins mutations, respectively. Higher tumor mutation burden, more M1 macrophage, less Tregs and M2 macrophages infiltration, but not PD-L1 expression was found to be associated with EGFR uncommon mutations, compared to EGFR 19del/L858R or 20in mutations. These findings revealed diverse response and optimal combination strategy of lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring EGFR mutation subtypes, promoting rethinking about current immunotherapy application and prolonging survivals of them.
The purpose of the CAPABLE study is to compare health-related quality of life in renal cell carcinoma patients who use or do not use a mobile-based application to monitor adverse events for cancer treatment at home. As secondary objectives, the study investigates the usability of the system and its generalizability to other cancer types
