Filter by:The research objective for this pilot study is to design the first care pathway to implement COPD care in a community oncology clinic. Using a mixed-methods user-centered design process, investigators will ensure the feasibility of evidence-based practices in this setting. The results of this pilot study will directly inform a randomized controlled trial to measure whether COPD control reduces hospitalization risk.
This clinical trial is an open-label, single arm study evaluating the safest dose of lorlatinib in combination with standard of care chemotherapy in participants with metastatic anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive (ALK+) NSCLC who progressed on prior therapy of lorlatinib alone. The main goals of this study are to: - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of lorlatinib in combination with standard of care chemotherapy. - Evaluate how well the combination of lorlatinib and standard of care chemotherapy works to treat metastatic anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive (ALK+) NSCLC. - Evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of lorlatinib when given in combination with standard of care chemotherapy.
To find a recommended dose of the combination of adagrasib and durvalumab that can be given to patients with cancers that have a KRAS G12C mutation.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized the treatment of lung cancer over the past 10 years. Nivolumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, and durvalumab have been successively approved in non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and pleural mesothelioma. Although the efficacy of ICIs is remarkable in some patients, the objective response rate is only about 20%. The development of predictive biomarkers for treatment response is essential. Non-invasive methods and easily accessible biomarkers at low cost are required.ICIs activate the immune system through the inhibition of checkpoints (PD-L1, PD-1). The immune system and the liver are interconnected and constantly interact through a complex regulatory system. Patients with lung cancer frequently suffer from liver damage, due to metastases, treatments or underlying pathologies. The objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical significance of key liver biomarkers (AST, ALT, PAL, GGT, bilirubin, PT) in patients with lung cancer treated with ICI.
Primary Objectives are to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ZN-c3 and ZN-c3 and bevacizumab or ZN-c3 and bevacizumab plus pembrolizumab in metastatic CCNE1 amplified and TP53 mutant solid tumors as well to evaluate antitumor activity of ZN-c3 and bevacizumab or ZN-c3 and bevacizumab plus pembrolizumab in metastatic CCNE1 amplified and TP53 mutant solid tumors.
Lung cancer is responsible for one of the highest incidences of cancer-related mortality globally, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the biggest subtype of lung cancer. In recent years, the use of immunotherapy has revolutionised the management of NSCLC, with better response rates and survival outcomes reported in the literature, compared to traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy. Despite this, doubts remain regarding the true efficacy of immunotherapy in patients > 75 years old, given that this age subgroup is mis-represented in prospective phase III trials, in terms of numbers and baseline functional status, compared to real-world experience. Furthermore, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is associated with a spectrum of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), affecting a range of organ systems. Once again, there are doubts about the safety of the use of these agents in patients > 75 years old, and whether baseline performance status and comorbidities are good predictors of efficacy and safety outcomes in this elderly patient subgroup. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and the vulnerable elders survey (VES-13) are assessment tools that provide a good indication of functional status in elderly patients, in a similar capacity to performance status and comorbidities. This study therefore aims to prospectively examine patients > 70 years old with a diagnosis of NSCLC, commencing immunotherapy. It will assess CGA and VES-13 scores at baseline, and correlate this with certain outcomes such as the incidence of severe adverse effects from immunotherapy at 3 and 6 months, any admissions to hospital arising from immunotherapy toxicities (and the subsequent length of inpatient stay), and mortality within 30 days. In doing so, it will help to determine if CGA and VES-13 scores can be used as a reliable indication of possible future efficacy and toxicity outcomes in this elderly patient subgroup.
This proof-of-concept study serves as the preliminary step to prove safety of oral activated charcoal (OAC) in patients with solid tumors before moving to a hematologic malignancy patient population.
The proposed study expands on the principles of SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) and SABR (Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy) for centrally located NSCLC (Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer) to further optimize outcomes in this patient population with utilization of the adaptive workflow to maintain tumor control rates but decrease the incidence and grade of treatment-related toxicities.
The objective of this study is to assess the inoculation-related symptoms and long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with lung cancer or pulmonary nodules in a real-world setting. The investigators aim to provide high-quality evidence for the COVID-19 vaccines in cancer/pre-cancer patients, and to address their concern about the safety profile of the newly developed vaccines.
This proposed intervention centers on improving survivorship outcomes among African American and Latinx cancer survivor and caregiver dyads. As a result, there will be four major outcomes. First, as a result of partnership with minority social institutions (e.g. faith leaders), we will develop an in-depth culturally sensitive curriculum and survivorship care plan for Cancer Survivorship and Caregiver Leaders Aimed for Minority Populations (CSC LAMPs). Second, we will increase knowledge and skills by evaluating a comprehensive cancer survivorship training program designed for underserved health professional students. Third, the implementation of this program will improve survivorship outcomes among African American and Latinx cancer survivors with advanced stage cancer and their caregivers. Lastly, this study will build sustainability for underserved minorities with the training of 30 future healthcare providers as a valuable community resource for improving cancer survivorship outcomes. The long-term outcomes of the CSC LAMPs program will generate workforce capacity and diversity in cancer-based clinical practice, research, and community advocacy for underserved minority cancer survivors and caregivers.
