Filter by: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.
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled phase II clinical study for evaluating anlotinib combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation immunotherapy versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation immunotherapy in locally advanced, unresectable NSCLC.
Robot-assisted bronchoscopy biopsy procedure will be conducted for all eligible subjects under general anesthesia status by trained investigators in hospital.
This clinical trial investigates the acceptability of electronic cigarettes (JUUL) for smoking cessation (quitting smoking) and the reduction of surgery-related complications in patients with newly diagnosed head, neck, or lung cancer. Smoking before surgery is associated with increased risk of complications during and after surgery. Electronic cigarettes are a type of special product that gives small, steady doses of nicotine to help stop cravings and relieve symptoms that occur when a person is trying to quit smoking. Stopping cigarette smoking before surgery may reduce the risk of complications during and after surgery in patients with head, neck, or lung cancer.
The aim of EP0057 - 202 is to assess the safety and efficacy of EP0057 in combination with Olaparib (a PARP inhibitor) in two cancers where there is a high unmet need: extensive stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and ATM-negative gastric cancer (GC). EP0057-202 is a non-comparative, multi-arm, multi-centre, open label, Phase 2 study to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of EP0057 in combination with olaparib (an approved PARP inhibitor) in defined patient populations with relapsed* GC and SCLC. *(see Eligibility Criteria for definition of "relapse" for each tumour type/population) The treatment cohorts will open sequentially at the Sponsor's discretion and patients may be enrolled into each cohort concurrently. EP0057 is an investigational nanoparticle-drug conjugate administered intravenously. The rationale for developing EP0057 is to enable selective entry of EP0057 into tumour tissue and as a result create preferential accumulation of EP0057, and therefore of the payload Camptothecin, to translate into maximum tumour cell killing.
This phase II trial tests whether oral iloprost works in preventing lung cancer (chemoprevention) in former smokers. Oral iloprost has previously been shown to reduce abnormal lung cells in former smokers, suggesting a clinically significant impact on lung cancer risk. The use of oral iloprost may help keep cancer from forming and reduce abnormal cells in the lung in order to lower the risk of developing lung cancer in former smokers.
This is a single arm study, conducted at two centers, of neoadjuvant sotorasib in treatment naïve patients with stage Ib-IIIa NSCLC. The study will accrue 25 patients in all. Patients must have been deemed surgically resectable and physiologically fit for surgery by a thoracic surgeon prior to enrollment.
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 study enrolls patients with Non-small cell lung cancer and treats them with the investigational drug Bexmarilimab (FP-1305) plus standard of care Pembrolizumab to block Common lymphatic endothelial and vascular endothelial receptor-1 (CLEVER-1). Treating with an antiCLEVER-1 antibody, such as bexmarilimab, could lead to immune system activation, which, in turn, may lead to cancer elimination.
This phase II trial studies how well hypofractionated radiation therapy after durvalumab and chemotherapy works to shrink tumors in patients with stage IV extensive stage small cell lung cancer. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects than a conventionally fractionated radiation course. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin, cisplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Adding radiation after chemo and immunotherapy may help improve cancer control.
