Filter by:The goal of this multi-center randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the added value of needle based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE)-imaging to regular diagnostic bronchoscopic peripheral lung lesion analysis on the diagnostic yield in patients with peripheral pulmonary nodules suspect for malignancy. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: To determine if the addition of nCLE-imaging to conventional diagnostic bronchoscopic peripheral lung lesion analysis results in an improved diagnostic yield (defined as the proportion of patients in whom the bronchoscopic procedure results in a definitive diagnosis out of the total number of patients that have received the diagnostic bronchoscopic procedure). Participants will undergo diagnostic bronchoscopy either with or without the addition of nCLE imaging before each TBNA. Based on the feedback of the CLE images on (in)correct placement of the needle, the needle might be repositioned before sampling. Comparison between the diagnostic yield of these groups will be done including subgroup analysis.
Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) is a form of high-precision radiotherapy playing a major role in patients diagnosed with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSLCL), especially when surgery cannot be performed. It is a non-invasive, well-tolerated treatment, with an excellent ability to control disease recurrence. However, in some patients, disease response is suboptimal: understanding why this happens may open doors to more aggressive approaches, such as the combination with systemic therapies. Hence, the goal of this observational trial is to understand which clinical, imaging, and biological factors are associated with response to SBRT through the development of complex models. In other words, the main question it aims to answer is: "Will this patient respond to radiation treatment based on the characteristics of their disease?". Participants will be treated according to the best clinical practice standards, in agreement with international, national, and internal guidelines. Researchers will compare data collected from patients treated with SBRT with those collected from a similar group of patients, who will be treated with surgery, to see which factors are actual predictors of response to SBRT, or rather are indicators of more or less aggressive disease behavior.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety of delivering Aliya PEF in patients with metastatic cancer within the lungs or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are treatment-naïve and indicated for first-line standard of care (SOC) cancer therapy.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery has been recommended as the standard treatment for locally advanced and resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its efficacy remains to be improved. Drugs targeting PD-1/PD-L1 pathway have been proven to be effective for late-stage NSCLC, and anti-angiogenesis agents targeting VEGF (bevacizumab) has also been used for the first line treatment of advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Therefore, we conduct this single-arm clinical trial, which aims to investigate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant sintilimab combined with bevacizumab and chemotherapy followed by surgery in treating locally advanced and resectable NSCLC.
Any kind of anatomical lung resection for lung cancer with curative intent has to be accompanied by formal mediastinal lymph node dissection. Video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy through a cervical access (VAMLA) along with thoracoscopic lobectomies in the same setting offers improved radicality through bilateral mediastinal dissection, provide accurate staging, does not require single lung ventilation and hence ideally supports the concept of minimally invasive surgery. Due to the VAMLA associated radicality, the investigator believes that using of VAMLA along with lobectomy could improve the oncological outcome of lung cancer patients. Furthermore, the absence of single lung ventilation during VAMLA could attenuate the surgically induced immunosuppression.
The study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the anti-MUC1 CAR T cells and /or PD-1 knockout engineered T cells for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
