Peripheral pulmonary lesions are of growing importance in respiratory field. Early detection of lung cancer, tuberculosis and other diseases often needs a bronchoscopic investigation with different types of navigation. Current randomized clinical study is intended to compare three different modalities of navigation in bronchial tree - virtual bronchoscopy (VBN), radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and combination of both techniques.
To evaluate the usefulness of Deep neural network (DNN) in the evaluation of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes with Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). The study will explore the feasibility of DNN to identify lymph nodes and blood vessel examined with EBUS.
Lung cancer has a high global cancer morbidity and mortality. At present, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have been approved by FDA to treat different types of lung cancer, but the efficacy is not good. There is an urgent need to develop drugs that can significantly enhance the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors to enable tumor patients to obtain lasting anti-tumor response. Centipeda minima (CM), as a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, is relatively safe. Previous studies found that it can inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells. At the level of animal research, the combined use of CM and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors produced a stronger anti-lung cancer effect, and did not produce obvious side effects on mice. Based on previous studies, the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1/PD-L inhibitors combined with herbivorous herbivores (CM) in the treatment of lung cancer.
Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RTS) segmentectomy is safe and effective for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In RTS-segmentectomy, dissection and sealing procedures are performed by either staplers or energy devices. Staplers, the current standard of care, have been associated with higher operating costs compared to energy devices for open lobectomy, RTS lobectomy and minimally invasive segmentectomy. However, there is a lack of prospective research evaluating the costs of the two methods for lung dissection and vessel sealing in RTS-segmentectomy. This prospective trial seeks to determine whether it is feasible to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating the costs of the Signia stapler versus Vessel Sealer Extend energy device in RTS-segmentectomy for NSCLC. If this trial is feasible, we will be able to conduct a full-scale trial to compare costs and health outcomes, providing an economic evaluation that will inform hospital decision makers and clinicians in Canada.
This is a single arm screening study. All eligible participants will be subjected to low dose CT (LDCT) screening and biomarker testing. The primary aim of the study is to determine the feasibility of conducting LDCT screening in at-risk populations for lung cancer in Singapore: - For the smoker population, LDCT screening for lung cancer will be implemented in accordance to Academy of Medicine, Singapore screening test guidelines with the aim of investigating the feasibility of instituting lung cancer screening clinical service in Singapore. - For the non-smoker population, LDCT screening for lung cancer will be introduced to systematically collect baseline data to better understand and provide evidence for lung adenocarcinoma in never-smoker phenotype that is unique to East Asia/Singapore. This will help address unmet needs in local population research as reported by Academy of Medicine, Singapore, to validate risk factors and inform future screening guidelines for the at-risk population. Screening results will be reported based on Lung CT Screening Reporting & Data System (Lung-RADS).
With the popularization of CT screening, the detection rate of small lung nodules has greatly increased. Therefore, the clinical thoracoscopic lung nodule biopsy and sub-lobectomy for radical resection of lung cancer are greatly required. Accurate resection of lung nodule depends on precise localization of pulmonary nodules. However, preoperative CT-guided Hook- wire positioning under local anesthesia, which is the current primary localization method, requires high equipment and expense, and may cause physical and mental trauma to the patient. Augmented reality (AR) is an innovative technology that superimpose a virtual scene into the real environment by fusing images, videos, or computer-generated models with patients during surgical operations. It can visually display the anatomical structures of organs or lesions, which significantly improves surgical efficiency. This project intends to use AR technology to localize the solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) before surgery, compared with CT-guided Hook-wire localization. Compared with the localization of SPNs under CT guidance, AR-assisted localization technology apparently is less time-consuming and can be performed immediately before surgery under general anesthesia, lessening pain, reduce costs of time and equipment, increase the success rate of sub-lobectomy, and improve the overall efficiency of surgical treatment of pulmonary nodules.
The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), alone or in combination with other cancer treatments is increasing dramatically with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) common (90%) during ICI treatment. Most irAEs are symptomatic and symptom self-management with timely reporting of moderate or severe symptoms to health care providers (HCPs) may reduce irAE severity by early recognition and management, resulting in fewer treatment interruptions and unscheduled health services.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and efficacy of KVA12123 alone or combined with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. What is the safety of KVA12123 when administered alone and in combination with pembrolizumab to advanced cancer patients? 2. What is an appropriate dose of KVA12123 to administer alone and in combination with pembrolizumab to advanced cancer patients in future clinical trials? Participants in this trial will be asked to: 1. Visit the clinical site every 1 - 2 weeks. 2. Receive KVA12123 every 2 weeks alone or in combination with pembrolizumab every 6 weeks. 3. Provide blood samples to evaluate drug levels in blood, drug safety and to explore the effects of each drug on the immune system. 4. Undergo scans every 6 weeks to test the effect of treatment on cancer progression. 5. Undergo other study procedures to evaluate drug safety and participant safety including physical exams, heart function tests, etc.
The goal of this multicenter observational study is to evaluate the lung cancer diagnostic value of epigenetic imprinting detection in bronchoalveolar lavage. This study will mainly focus on varifing the previously identified epigenetic imprinting biomarkers for lung cancer and upgrading and validating a lung cancer imprinting diagnostic model specifically for bronchoalveolar lavage. The lavage sample will be collected from each eligible paticipants under bronchialscopy and undergo QCIGISH detection to analyze the allelic expression status of imprinted genes. The QCIGISH detection results will be compared with the final surgical histopathology. No interventions will be taken according to the QCIGISH detection results.
