Filter by:The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of the novel compound, MRx0518 in patients with solid tumours at 30 days post-surgery. 20 participants will receive open label MRx0518 in a preliminary safety phase. After successful evaluation by the Independent Safety Monitoring Committee (IDMC), a further 100 participants will be recruited to receive MRx0518/Placebo.
The goal of this prospective, multi-center, single-arm, clinical study is to evaluate the clinical utility and performance of the FDA-cleared Ion™ Endoluminal System ("Ion") for bronchoscopically approaching and facilitating the tissue sampling of pulmonary nodules.
The risk of thromboembolism is elevated in lung cancer patients. The present project investigates whether stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) further increases the risk of thromboembolic disease in lung cancer patients. If coagulation is activated by SBRT, this study could form the basis of new clinical trials investigating whether lung cancer patients may benefit from thromboprophylaxis during and after stereotactic body radiation therapy.
This study is intended to evaluate the ability of an intramyocardial strain analysis package with cardiac MRI to assist in the early detection and management of cardiotoxicity from therapeutics used to treat cancer.
Peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL) are defined as nodules or masses that are located in the lung periphery; hence cannot be seen via regular bronchoscopy. Due to their location, establishing a pathological diagnosis can be challenging. Investigations of PPL has significantly evolved in the last decade with the development of new technologies such as peripheral endobronchial ultrasound (pEBUS), virtual bronchoscopy and electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB). Although these technologies have allowed physicians to safely biopsy previously difficult to access nodules, their sensitivity have been lower than trans-thoracic needle aspiration (TTNA). In fact, the largest registry to date has found a diagnostic yield of pEBUS of 57% compared to 93% for TTNA. However, TTNA caries substantially more procedural risk than pEBUS with a 25% rate of complication vs 2.8% for pEBUS (1, 2). With increased sensitivity, pEBUS could become the procedure of choice for PPL investigation in view of its safety profile. Rapid on-site evaluation of biopsy samples by a cytopathologist (ROSE) allows for direct evaluation of specimen adequacy. By offering real-time feedback to the bronchoscopist about specimen adequacy, the adding of ROSE to pEBUS could lead to an increase in diagnostic yield, allowing for a faster diagnosis of lung cancer and avoiding the need for further diagnostic procedures. Minitiazuration of broncoscopes can also allow navigation to more distal areas of the lung closer to the PPL. While this may also improve diagnostic yield, other technical modification such as the need for smaller sampling instruments and inability to use a guide sheath may have drawbacks. This study will use a 2 x 2 factorial design to compare diagnostic yield of pEBUS bronchoscopic PPL sampling with vs. without ROSE as well as with a novel "slim" bronchoscope vs. standard bronchoscope. The investigators aim to randomize 208 patients to independently test each hypothesis.
Phase II, single-arm study to assess the safety and efficacy of osimertinib (80 mg, orally, once daily) as first-line therapy in patients with EGFR mutation-positive, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not previously treated with an epidermal growth factor tyrosine kinase inhibitor agent.
This study investigates ways of improving radiologists performance of the classification of CT-scans as cancerous or non-cancerous. Participants interact with an AI to classify CT-scans under three different conditions.
Among 13 core symptoms across 3,106 breast, colorectal, prostate, and lung cancer patients, persons with lung cancer were the most symptomatic, with moderate to severe fatigue being reported with the greatest prevalence. This is a proposed randomized controlled trial of a novel rehabilitative intervention for persons with non-small cell lung cancer after surgery that promotes self-management of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and is practical, portable, low cost, and safe. The results of the study will provide a novel exercise intervention, and its optimal timing, that helps a vulnerable population by reducing CRF severity and fatigability and is applicable to nearly all post-thoracotomy lung cancer patients.
This is a Phase 1 open label sequential dose escalation and cohort expansion study evaluating the safety, tolerability and preliminary clinical activity of COM701 as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab.
This prospective randomized pilot trial will evaluate a multiple intervention program of prevention in lifelong smokers aiming at reduction of chronic inflammation status through treatment with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), smoking cessation with cytisine, targeted modification of diet and physical activity, in addition to early diagnosis with annual ultra low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDCT).
