Filter by:Despite scientific evidence, use of liquid biopsy (LB) in diagnosis and monitoring of lung cancer (LC) is limited since it requires major changes in diagnostic and care pathways. Analyzing tumor markers (TMs), circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood (LB) can inform about the nature of the tumor, the most appropriate therapy, therapy response and resistance. Lungmarker2 is a multicenter, prospective, implementation and diagnostic cohort study. This study aims to implement up-front ctDNA analysis ('plasma first approach') into routine diagnostic work-up of all advanced stage LC patients in the Southeast of the Netherlands (the participating hospitals in the OncoZON region). Thereby, additional information about the molecular make-up of the tumor becomes available, the number of tissue Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) analyses will decrease and time to therapeutic decision making is shortened. Next, using ctDNA, TM and other information, multi-parametric decision support models are built and validated that may support diagnosis, predict the outcome of the next imaging procedure and progression-free survival during follow-up. The final goal is to develop a super-resolution microscopy test that can detect PD-L1 expression on CTCs.
This is a clinical trial from the Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Project (ECTOP), numbered as ECTOP-1020. The goal of this clinical trial is to confirm the therapeutic effect of Wedge resection for ground-glass opacity-featured lung cancer with a size less than 2cm and a consolidation-to-tumor ratio between 0.25 to 0.5.
The precise diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer is not only a major national strategic need but also an urgent demand from the general public. The "three stages" of precise diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer include early diagnosis, effective treatment, and precise evaluation. Currently, invasive methods are mainly used in these three stages of clinical practice. The non-invasive molecular diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer and the molecular evaluation of treatment efficacy are critical core issues in lung cancer clinical diagnosis and treatment. In response to this problem, this project aims to use exhaled breath as a sample to develop a scientific instrument with independent intellectual property rights, which integrates early-stage diagnosis of lung cancer and evaluation of treatment efficacy. We will also conduct related application research to meet the needs of the public and contribute to the health of the entire population.
The role of this observational study is to access the feasibility of providing lung cancer screening using a designated nurse navigator through lung cancer screening clinic. Eligible participants will be identified using medical records, eligibility will be confirmed through phone call, screening visits will be scheduled as in-person visit or telehealth visit. Computed tomography screening will be performed at an approved center closer to the individuals place of living and results will be discussed during follow-up in-person visit or telehealth visit.
The BIRD biobank aims at collecting clinical and biological data from patients suffering from a chronic respiratory disease. The lung cancer subpopulation will be divided into two cohorts to identify biomarkers of cancer. One cohort will include patients with supra-centimetric lung nodule(s) whether surveillance, bronchoscopic or radio-guided biopsy or surgery is indicated, patients suspected of lung cancers requiring diagnostic and/or therapeutic bronchial endoscopy and patients with a known early stage lung cancer (early-stage cohort). The second cohort will include known advanced stage lung cancers (III-IV).
Lung cancer is the second most common malignancy and mortality rate in the world. In the United States and Europe, approximately 10% to 15% of NSCLC patients have epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-sensitive mutations, with higher mutation rates of 30% to 40% in Asia, and objective response rates (ORRs) of 76% to 80% with EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)-targeted therapy. However, resistance mechanisms such as EGFR, MET, PIK3CA and BRAF gene alterations occur with the development of resistance to EGFR-TKI therapy; Median Progression Free Survival (mPFS) for only 2.8-3.2 months; The median overall survival (mOS) is only 7.5-10.6 months. Due to the variety of mechanisms of resistance to EGFR-TKIs and the limited efficacy of chemotherapy, it is necessary to provide salvage treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that is positive for EGFR-sensitive mutations and has failed EGFR TKIs. Anlotinib is a novel multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used to inhibit tumor angiogenesis and proliferative signaling. The main targets of anlotinib include tyrosine kinase vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1-3 (VEGFr1-3), fibroblast growth factor receptor 1-4 (Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1-4), platelet-β derived growth factor receptor α and β, and stem cell factor receptor. Anlotinib is rapidly absorbed through the intestine, has high bioavailability, a half-life of 5 days, and is convenient for oral administration, which is conducive to improving patient dependence. IN MAY 2018, THE CHINA FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION APPROVED ANLOTINIB FOR MARKETING, ENTERED THE MEDICAL INSURANCE CATALOG IN OCTOBER OF THE SAME YEAR, AND WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE CHINESE SOCIETY OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY (CSCO) FOR THE THIRD-LINE TREATMENT OF LUNG CANCER IN 2019. Penpulimab is a humanized immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody (IgG1), which is a class 1 new drug jointly developed by Zhongshan Akeso Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., which can specifically bind to PD-1 molecules on the surface of T lymphocytes, thereby blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway that leads to tumor immune tolerance, and reactivating the anti-tumor activity of T lymphocytes to achieve the purpose of treating tumors. A number of preclinical in vitro trials have verified the effect of PEAMPLIMAB in blocking PD-1 pathway, and the results of preclinical pharmacodynamics, animal pharmacokinetics and toxicology have shown that PEAMPLIMAB has good stability, reduced host cell protein residues, and can effectively bind to antigens, and eliminate Fc-mediated effector function, with higher safety. AK105-201 is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled, phase III clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of pianpulimab combined with carboplatin + paclitaxel in the first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer, the primary endpoint of the study was PFS, and the secondary endpoint was OS, and the results showed that the mPFS group of pianpulimab and the control group were 7.6m and 4.2m, respectively, and the HR was 0.44, reducing the risk of disease progression by 56%. In the 2022 CSCO guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, peamplimab combined with platinum-containing chemotherapy is recommended as the first-line treatment for stage IV driver-free squamous cell carcinoma Grade II. In advanced patients with EGFR TKIs resistance, pemetrexed chemotherapy has a good efficacy, with a median PFS of 2.83 months and a response rate of 22%. The AK105-203 study is a multicenter phase II clinical study led by Professors Jiao Shun and Bai Li of the Chinese PLA General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army of Anlotinib combined with péamplimab in the first-line treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, with a median follow-up of 23 months and mPFS of 8.8 months. Therefore, based on the results of the current study on immunosuppressants and antiangiogenic drugs for the treatment of NSCLC, and the current research status in patients with advanced NSCLC who are positive for EGFR-sensitive mutations and have failed EGFR TKIs, we expect to conduct an exploratory clinical study of PD-1 antibody (péamplimab) combined with anlotinib in patients with advanced NSCLC who are positive for EGFR-sensitive mutations and have failed EGFR TKIs, with the aim of evaluating the safety of this combination, It was further investigated whether this combination could further improve the survival benefit of patients with advanced NSCLC.
The occurrence and progression of lung cancer is related to visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a kind of VAT, producing a variety of inflammatory cytokines and adipokines, participating in the formation of local inflammation, promoting the formation of pre-thrombotic state, and leading to the occurrence of thromboembolism. Patients with lung cancer have increased inflammatory response and are more prone to suffer thrombosis. However, in lung cancer patients, the clinical correlation between EAT and pulmonary embolism has not been reported. Objective: To analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in lung cancer patients with PE, and to explore the predictive value of EAT in pulmonary embolism events and death in lung cancer patients. Methods: EAT volume and density, as well as anthropometric and blood biomarkers, were evaluated in a sample of lung cancer patients, half with pulmonary embolism and half without. The incidence of adverse prognosis and related factors were followed up by telephone.
Objectives: To examine the effectiveness of a personalised motivational messaging intervention for improving cognitive function in lung cancer survivors. Hypothesis to be tested: Lung cancer survivors receiving personalised motivational messaging will have better cognitive function than usual care. Design and subjects: A randomised controlled trial in 196 lung cancer survivors with cancer-related cognitive impairment. Intervention: The intervention group will be equipped with a wearable activity tracker for 3 months and receive personalised motivational messages via instant messaging applications (e.g., WhatsApp) to promote physical exercise. The intervention will include 1) regular messages sent at preferred times and frequencies allowing participants to choose suggested physical activity goals, and 2) support via chat-type messaging such as goal setting, real-time counselling, and practical advice. The control group will receive a leaflet on cognitive impairment with reminder text messages for follow-up surveys. Main outcome measures: Data will be conducted at baseline (T0), 3 months (T1; immediately after intervention delivery), and 6 months (T2; long-term follow up). Primary outcome will be cognitive function measured by HK-MoCA (objective) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function (FACT-Cog) scale (subjective). Secondary outcomes are physical activity (IPAQ-SF), self-efficacy for exercise (SEE), psychological well-being (PHQ-4), and quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30). Data analysis: Intention-to-treat, post-trial qualitative (compliance with the intervention), and cost-effectiveness analyses will be conducted. We will follow the CONSORT-EHEALTH checklist. Expected results: This trial will provide evidence on the effectiveness of the proposed intervention on improving cognitive function and increasing physical activity among lung cancer survivors.
The study aims to compare the diagnostic yields of bronchial brushing performed before and after forceps biopsy and bronchial wash performed before and after biopsy during flexible bronchoscopy.
In this double-blind phase II randomized controlled trial, patients with lung cancer or ≤2 oligometastatic pulmonary lesions and a concomitant diagnosis of ILD who are planned for radical Radiation Therapy (RT) will be randomized using a 2 x 2 factorial design to oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC) versus placebo, and also to short course corticosteroids versus placebo.
