Filter by:This is a phase Ib study to evaluate safety and tolerability of dual checkpoint inhibition (DCI) of durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) and tremelimumab (anti-CTLA-4) with SBRT in the treatment of oligometastatic NSCLC. This study will examine the sequential delivery of SBRT to all disease sites followed by combination of durvalumab and tremelimumab for patients for whom the goal is ablating all known sites of disease. The investigators anticipate that for many participants this will be the first line-therapy. Participants who have received prior-platinum-based chemotherapy and/or any line of prior chemotherapy are eligible. Prior immunotherapy treatment is not allowed.
The feasibility of a RF ablation catheter to bronchoscopically ablate lung tumors, will be evaluated in patients already scheduled for surgical resection.
Recurrent unilateral, non-infectious pleural exudate is suspicious for primary or secondary pleural malignancy. Both conditions are associated with 5-year survival of 10%. Work-up is difficult, as the pleural surface is large and <33% of pleural malignancies shed malignant cells to the pleural fluid. Even so, additional tissue biopsies are needed for establishing mutation status for targeted therapies. Optimal imaging to guide tissue sampling is pivotal. PET-CT has higher sensitivity than conventional CT for detecting malignant lesions >10mm. However, no randomised trial has investigated differences in diagnostic accuracy, time-to-diagnosis, or economics. Falsely PET-positive lesions in e.g. colon, however, lead to more derived tests than do CT alone. Gold standard for pleural tissue sampling is the surgical (VATS) thoracoscopy, allowing direct visual guiding of tissue sampling from all pleural surfaces. Yet, globally the medical (pleuroscopy) thoracoscopy is more widely used: cheaper, outpatient procedure, but allows only sampling from the parietal pleura. To date, no randomised studies have compared medical and surgical thoracoscopy concerning diagnostic hit rates, adverse events, or economics. Investigators will perform two randomized studies to investigate whether 1. PET/CT is comparable to CT alone 2. VATS is comparable to pleuroscopy concerning hit rate, total investigations performed, time-to-diagnosis.
Pulmonary (lung) rehabilitation, which is done under the guidance of lung specialists/therapists. It includes breathing exercises, physical exercises, and exercises to increase tolerance of activity (stamina). This type of lung rehab has been shown to improve symptoms, quality of life, breathing, and walking distance. It has also been shown to decrease hospitalization and death rates in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer patients. Comprehensive Care Management Program (CCMP), a program that includes educational sessions for tobacco cessation, phone calls, and a home action plan has also demonstrated benefit in addition to the pulmonary rehabilitation. In this study, the investigators have an opportunity to identify and intervene with COPD patients. The vast majority of early stage lung cancer patients are much more scared of their cancer than their COPD. Upon identification of COPD and recognition of patient tobacco habits for patients planned to undergo SBRT, interventions can potentially be made that will reduce COPD hospitalization rates, second primary lung cancer rates, and likely death rates. The interventions are broadly available and relatively easily instituted and include the following: seeing a doctor to diagnose their other underlying illness or illnesses (both respiratory and cardiovascular), smoking cessation if they are smokers, and CCMP's and pulmonary rehabilitation which have shown measurable COPD benefits in prior trials.
This is a phase 1b/2 study to determine the safety and effectiveness of the combination of pembrolizumab and idelalisib in NSCLC patients whose disease has stopped responding to immune therapy. This study is being done to see if adding another immune modulator (idelalisib) to standard pembrolizumab will increase response rates, compared to the response seen with pembrolizumab alone.
Apatinib, a novel targeted inhibitor of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2), shows significant antitumor activity in the patients with GC. The purpose of this study is to determine whether apatinib plus chemotherapy drug can improve progression free survival compared with chemotherapy drug in patients with metastatic the non-small cell lung cancer who failed one lines of chemotherapy.
This study has two parts: dose escalation and dose expansion. The primary objectives are: - For Dose Escalation, to assess the safety and tolerability of DS-1205c when combined with osimertinib in the study population and to determine the recommended dose for expansion of DS-1205c when combined with osimertinib in the study population - For Dose Expansion, to assess the safety and tolerability of DS-1205c when combined with osimertinib in the study population In Dose Escalation, after a 7-day run in period (Cycle 0), there will be 21-day cycles (Cycle 1 onward). In Dose Expansion, there will be 21-day cycles. The number of treatment cycles is not fixed in this study. Participants will continue study treatment until they decide not to (withdraw consent), their disease gets worse [progressive disease (PD)], or side effects become unacceptable (unacceptable toxicity).
Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Most people with lung cancer are already in the advanced stages of the disease by the time they see a doctor. Researchers want to see if combining an approved drug with two new drugs can help. Objective: To study if tetrahydrouridine-decitabine (THU-DAC) with pembrolizumab is safe and effective in people with non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Eligibility: People 18 years and older who have NSCLC that cannot be removed by surgery Design: Participants will be screened with - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood and urine tests - Tests of heart and lung function They may have a small tumor sample taken (biopsy). They may have tumor scans. Before starting treatment, participants will repeat the screening tests. They will also give a stool sample. The study will be done in 3-week cycles for up to 6 cycles. - Participants will take the 2 study drugs by mouth 3-5 days a week. - Participants will get pembrolizumab in a vein for 30 minutes 1 day each cycle. Participants will keep a study medication diary. During cycle 1, participants will have blood taken multiple times on days 1 and 2. Every 3 cycles, participants will repeat screening tests. Participants will have a mandatory tumor biopsy. When they finish treatment, participants will have a physical exam and blood tests.
Phase II trial to evaluate trametinib in patients with locally advanced non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors harbor a non-synonymous NF-1 mutation, with progressive disease on at least one prior line of therapy.
This study is a single institution Phase II single arm trial to assess the efficacy of the combination of pevonedistat plus docetaxel in patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer).
