Filter by:All patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) resection of lung cancer will receive standard therapy including lobectomy or sub-lobar resection and mediastinal lymph node dissection. After completion of the standard of care, intraoperative ultrasound will be used to evaluate lymph node stations for the presence of any missed lymph nodes with particular focus on lymph nodes which may appear pathologic on ultrasound evaluation. Data will be reviewed for rates of pathologic upstaging, and sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound as an additional diagnostic tool in the operating room will be evaluated. It is hypothesized that Intra-operative thoracoscopic ultrasound following standard video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) dissection will increase the rate of pathologically staged in N2 nodes in non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing definitive surgical resection.
The purpose of this protocol is to obtain biologic materials from the mediastinal lymph nodes from patients with lung disease and mediastinal lymph node involvement in order to: (1) develop a better understanding of the cause and development of lung disorders involving the mediastinal lymph nodes; (2) identify biologic parameters that help diagnose and predict the behavior of human lung diseases; and (3) identify individuals who will be suitable candidates for other protocols such as those involving investigational new drugs.
Patients suffering from histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV lung or breast cancer with progressive or recurrent brain metastases after prior external beam radiotherapy will receive treatment with cabazitaxel until progression of brain metastases (BM) or unacceptable toxicity.
1. Part A: Subjects will receive Patritumab or placebo with erlotinib. Progression-free survival will be the primary outcome. Subjects will need to have Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) wild-type, locally advance or metastatic NSCLC and have their cancer progressed after at least one prior systemic anti-cancer therapy, available recent or archival tumor specimen and may not have had previous EGFR-targeted regimen, anti-HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2), anti-HER3, or anti-HER4 therapy. Subjects may have high heregulin or low heregulin. 2. Part B: Subjects will receive Patritumab or placebo with erlotinib. Overall survival will be the primary outcome. Subjects will need to have EGFR wild-type, locally advance or metastatic NSCLC and have their cancer progressed after at least one prior systemic anti-cancer therapy, available recent or archival tumor specimen and may not have had previous EGFR-targeted regimen, anti-HER2, anti-HER3, or anti-HER4 therapy. Only subjects with high heregulin will be enrolled.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the LungPoint ATV System in patients who are scheduled for standard bronchoscopy to diagnose highly suspicious lung cancer.
This registry is intended to measure the effect of myPlan Lung Cancer™ test has on treatment decisions of Surgeons when added to standard clinical-pathological parameters in patients with early stage NSCLC.The sponsor is conducting two parallel registries, with one directed at Surgeons (ONC003) and the other at Oncologists (ONC006).This registry is specific to Surgeons (ONC003). Outcomes measures on lung cancer relapse and death from any cause will be collected.

ALMERA is a randomized, phase II, open label study in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which will compare standard radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy with or without consolidation versus the same treatment plus concurrent Metformin continuing for 12 months. Metformin is a well tolerated and inexpensive drug that has the potential to improve cancer patient outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lucitanib is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic lung cancer and fibroblast growth factor (FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF), or platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) related genetic alterations.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects of music and different levels of device-guided breathing on anxiety and shortness of breath in lung cancer survivors.
