Filter by:Patients with Stage III unresectable non-small cell lung cancer will receive thoracic radiation, cisplatin and etoposide followed by nivolumab or placebo given every 2 weeks for a year.
Proof of principle phase 1b / randomised phase 2 study of afatinib penetration into cerebral metastases for patients undergoing neurosurgical resection, both with and without prior low-dose, targeted radiotherapy.
This is a prospective non-randomised Phase I/II study with patients recruited to escalated dose cohorts. Escalated dose to the iGTV (internal gross tumour volume), with 60 Gy to the conventional PTV (planning target volume), will be delivered to successive cohorts of participants (6-12 participants/cohort) until the maximum tolerated oesophageal dose is determined. The minimum dose will be 60 Gy delivered via intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volume modulated arc therapy (VMAT), planned on an Average Intensity Projection (AVIP) dataset. Standard of care chemotherapy. There will be two treatment arms; one with patients who are planned to receive neo-adjuvant or no chemotherapy, and the other with patients who are planned to receive concurrent chemotherapy.
A study to determine the concordance of key actionable genomic alterations as assessed in tumor tissue and plasma from patients with non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC)
The study aims to optimize and define a reproducible and non-invasive method for canine assisted lung cancer detection, using human breath samples from patients and controls for training and testing purposes.
This is an open-label study with two parts, a Phase I study and a randomized Phase II study. This study will be conducted at approximately ten sites in the United States. Approximately 178 patients will be enrolled in this trial.
By detecting the blood concentration of paclitaxel (PTX), Investigator assume this research can identify the individual differences of PTX pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters (TC>0.05 refers to the duration of paclitaxel plasma concentration above 0.05 µmol/L) in Chinese non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and find the correlation between PK results and PTX toxicities and Effectiveness, acquire the optimization method of PTX, and finally try to explore the individualized PTX pharmacokinetically-guided dosing strategy. Orally administer rosiglitazone, which is a substrate of CYP2C8 the same as paclitaxel, before chemotherapy injection. Detect the blood concentration of rosiglitazone, analyze the correlation of rosiglitazone pharmacokinetic parameter and paclitaxel exposure, and explore the effect of rosiglitazone as an in vivo probe of paclitaxel exposure. 1. The variability of paclitaxel concentrations in the patient population dosed by body surface area (BSA), and the limitation of BSA-based dosing of paclitaxel. 2. Verify that paclitaxel TC>0.05 is the most relevant predictor of haematological toxicity and clinical outcomes. 3. Define a dosing algorithm based on paclitaxel TC>0.05 of paclitaxel and quantify its effect on both reducing toxicity and improving Effectiveness. 4. The effect of using dose modification and administration of G-CSF based on toxicity determined by paclitaxel TC>0.05 measurement. 5. Construct a trial outline with the aim of reducing grade 4 neutropenia toxicity and ensuring the clinical outcome by using individual dose adjustments based on the dosing algorithm. 6. Detect the blood concentration of rosiglitazone after orally administration, explore the effect of rosiglitazone as an in vivo probe of paclitaxel exposure based on CYP2C8 activity. Attempt to establish a model to predict the paclitaxel exposure of patients base on rosiglitazone blood concentration before chemotherapy.
To determine whether the combination of gemcitabine/carboplatin with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is associated with an improved clinical outcome (progression free and overall survival) compared with chemotherapy alone in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
Patients who are about to undergo a diagnostic or therapeutic bronchoscopy or thoracic surgery without a distant history of cancer will have their blood drawn for measurement of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to validate the utility of molecular diagnostic assays for the early detection of lung cancer.
Patients with advanced or metastatic, gpNMB-expressing Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of the lung who have failed a prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen will receive glembatumumab vedotin. Glembatumumab vedotin consists of an antibody (a type of human protein) attached to a drug called Monomethyl Auristatin E (MMAE) that can kill cancer cells. Glembatumumab vedotin is intended to work by specifically directing the drug to the cancer cell. It attaches to a molecule on the cancer cell called gpNMB, and then releases the MMAE inside the tumor cell, which in turn causes the cell to die. The purpose of this study is to see whether glembatumumab vedotin is effective in treating people who have advanced or metastatic squamous cell lung cancer that contains gpNMB, to examine how the body handles the drug and the side effects associated with glembatumumab vedotin.
