Filter by:This is a prospective, non-randomized, single arm, single institution phase II trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in oncogene addicted and non-oncogene addicted synchronous and/or metachronous oligo-metastatic (oligoM) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn about if carbon ion radiotherapy dose boost in hypoxia lesions detected by 18F-Misonidazole PET/CT could improve clinical outcomes in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients compared with standard treatment protocol in our center. The patients will be randomly divided into two arms: standard treatment arm and hypoxic lesions dose boost arm. The standard treatment arm will receive carbon ion beam radiotherapy of 77Gy (RBE equivalent) per 22 fractions for gross tumor volume. The hypoxic lesions dose boost arm will receive 77Gy (RBE equivalent) per 22 fractions for gross tumor volume and a simultaneously dose boost of 83.6Gy (RBE equivalent) per 22 fractions for hypoxic lesions detected by 18F-Misonidazole PET/CT. Researchers will compare the local progression-free survival of two groups (primary endpoint), progression-free survival (secondary endpoint), overall survival (secondary endpoint), response rate (secondary endpoint), factional hypoxia volume (FHV) reduction rate (secondary endpoint) and toxicities (secondary endpoint).
This study is a single-center, single-arm, open-label, phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Paclitaxel Polymeric Micelles for Injection for the treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, lung cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal carcinoma, or breast cancer that are resistant to Taxanes. Subjects are given paclitaxel polymeric micelles for injection, three weeks constitutes one cycle of treatment. If subject does not develop disease progression , the subject continues treatment until disease progression (RECIST 1.1) or develops an intolerable toxicity, initiation of a new anti-cancer drug, withdrawal from the study, death, or loss of follow-up. This is a single-arm, small-sample clinical study with the primary efficacy goal of objective remission rate (ORR). The parameters of the trial were set: assuming a class I error of 0.025 unilaterally, power=90%, and a 15% improvement in ORR for objective remission rate, a total of 20 subjects would be required, and a total of 25 would be required for enrolment, taking into account a 20% shedding.
This is a behavioral trial study to pilot test a stress management intervention for people with cancer who are undergoing routine cancer scans. The study will involve two pilot testing phases. Initial feasibility will be determined in an Open Trial phase, to inform any needed revisions to the intervention and/or protocol prior to a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial phase. The Open Trial phase is an unblinded, single-site, single-arm open trial (n=10). The Pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) phase is an unblinded, single-site, feasibility pilot randomized controlled trial (n=50).
This is a prospective cohort study, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness and superiority of a novel minimal residual disease-guided prognosis monitoring and adjuvant treatment in stage IIA-IIIC non-small cell lung cancer.
Germline testing to find genetic alteration that can be linked to inherited susceptibility of developing the disease is recommended for patients diagnosed with certain solid cancers, such as breast, prostate and ovarian, due to strong association with inheritable mutations implying familiar counselling. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cancer-related cause of death and smoking habitude is the main modifiable risk, while environmental factors, such as radon, asbestosis and fine polluting particles account for most diagnoses among never or light smokers. At the same time, the relative risk (RR) of lung cancer correlates with the number of relatives diagnosed with lung cancer. A recent study of 7788 patients with NSCLC who receiving a germline testing described a prevalence of genetic alterations linked to inherited susceptibility of cancer in 14.9% of cases, highlighting the potential role of genetic However, all the available studies investigating the family history of cancer among patients with NSCLC are retrospective and do not consider modifiable risk factors such as smoking, working habits and geographical origins. The objective of this study is the detailed description of the family history of cancer among patients with NSCLC and the description of distribution of other risk factors, such as smoking, among the study participants, in order to establish whether there are specific family history clusters that can help clinicians in directing patients to genetic counselling. The study will enrol consecutive patients with NSCLC, independently from age, disease stage, smoking status, and clinic-pathological characteristics. Participants will provide clinical anamnestic information filling an ad hoc self-reported study questionnaire, internally validated by the genetic expert of the steering committee. Data of interest include: Family history of cancer; Type of tumours/primary tumour site among relatives with history of cancer; Age at diagnosis among relatives with history of cancer; Biological sex of relatives with history of cancer; Exposure to tobacco smoking and smoking habits among relatives with history of cancer; Geographical origin of participants and relatives with history of cancer; Personal history of multiple malignancies; Potential professional and environmental exposure to carcinogens of participants and relatives with history of cancer; Ethnicity of both participants and relatives with history of cancer. The study does not require any additional hospital access from the patients since the questionnaire will be returned at the following planned clinical consultation to minimize recall bias. The investigators will collect the following clinic-pathologic characteristics: Smoking status (active/passive, package/year, total years of smoking); Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS); Age at diagnosis; Tumour histology; Tumour stage at diagnosis according to the 8th edition of TNM staging system; Ethnicity; Professional and environmental exposure to carcinogens; Programmed death ligand-1 tumour proportion score (PD - L1 TPS); Any available oncogenic drivers including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS), BRAF, c-MET, mutations and Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), ROS-1, RET, neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase NTRK translocation/gene fusions; Personal history of other synchronous/metachronous primary malignancies.
This clinical trial compares telephone-based physical activity coaching to self monitored physical activity for improving physical function in older adults who are undergoing surgery for lung cancer and their caregivers. Lung cancer surgery in older adults is associated with functional declines and unique challenges. Performing physical activity around the time of surgery has been shown to improve functional outcomes in patients and exercise programs delivered via telehealth may improve access and convenience for patients and minimize participant burden. Telephone-based physical activity coaching may improve physical functioning for older adults with lung cancer who are undergoing surgery.
In the past three years, as the key protein suggested to be involved in host cell entry of SARS-CoV-2, studies of ACE2 aroused people's attention again. Tracking the expression of ACE2 in vivo is crucial to further understanding of COVID-19, dynamically monitoring the effect of antiviral therapy and the development of related vaccines. It is also expected to further conduct in-depth research on the physiological effects of ACE2 and RAAS, and the mechanism of ACEI/ARB (32). With the development of both molecular imaging agents and related equipment, several ACE2-targeting PET imaging agents have been investigated based on different strategies while some of them were tested in clinical trials. The aim of this study was to intercept key ACE2-binding sites from coronavirus RBD and test their potential as ACE2-targeting PET agents.
The purpose of this study is to measure efficacy and safety of osimertinib as induction therapy prior to curative intent CRT and maintenance osimertinib in adult patients with Stage III, unresectable NSCLC with common EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletion or L858R).
The Phase 2a Evolution study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the OWL-EV1 Probe Breath Biopsy Test to differentiate between individuals with lung cancer and relevant contrast groups. The contrast groups will be representative of the clinical populations in which the test is intended to be used. Thus, Evolution Phase 2a will be designed as a cross-sectional, case-control trial that will be conducted at various sites, both in the UK and EU.
