Filter by:This research study is evaluating ways to provide palliative care to patients who have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and their families.
This pilot clinical trial studies the effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy followed by surgery in treating patients with stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a method of radiation that uses imaging to precisely locate a tumor and then deliver very high radiation doses to the tumor site in order to limit normal tissue toxicity or damage.
The goal of this clinical research study is to determine whether the PD-1 inhibitor (Programmed cell death protein 1) nivolumab improves premalignant bronchial dysplastic lesions in subjects that are at high risk for the development of lung cancer, including those with a prior smoking history, or history of lung cancer or head and neck cancer. The safety and tolerability of nivolumab will also be studied.
This is an open-label, multi-centre, umbrella Phase II study in patients with metastatic NSCLC who have progressed on an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 containing therapy. This study is modular in design, allowing initial assessment of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of multiple treatment arms.
Trial Phase: Pilot Indication: Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC Primary Objective: To assess the feasibility and tolerability of exercise training during palliative chemotherapy. Secondary Objective: 1) To assess fitness levels in patients undergoing palliative chemotherapy, and to explore whether exercise training can prevent a reduction in fitness. 2) To determine the baseline fitness, as assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), of a cohort of patients with stage IIIb/IV non small cell lung cancer who are about to initiate treatment with chemotherapy 3) To compare patients enrolled in the EMBRACE randomized controlled trial (RCT) with those who decline. 4)To investigate any relationship between baseline fitness and outcomes including therapy related complications, response, and survival in those patients who decline exercise training or are randomized to observation. 5) To assess the feasibility of the translation of in-hospital exercise training to home-based training during chemotherapy. 6) To document the effects of chemotherapy on cellular energetics and mitochondrial function. Rationale: Chemotherapy has a detrimental effect on physical fitness, and this effect can be later reversed by training. The investigators wish to understand the mechanism of this detrimental effect, and investigate whether it can be prevented or attenuated by giving chemotherapy concurrently with exercise training. Trial Design: Randomised controlled study (1:1) comparing chemotherapy alone, with chemotherapy plus exercise training. A subgroup of patients will have muscle biopsies. Patients who decline randomisation will be offered enrolment into an observational arm. Sample size : 100 patients (to include 48 who will be randomised, and 52 in the observational arm).
This is a single arm seamless phase I/II prospective cohort study. Patients with early stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (T1-T2N0M0) or those with a single pulmonary metastasis of a known malignancy (either following radical treatment or systemic therapy) will be offered participation in this study. Participants will have three tumor locator beacons placed with a flexible bronchoscope in the small bronchial airways in proximity (<3cm) from their lung tumors. These tumor locator beacons will provide real-time positional data and will allow for smaller treatment volumes of Stereotactic Ablative Radiosurgery (SABR) and also allow for a specialized form of treatment delivery known as respiratory gated SABR. This is expected to result in higher precision radiotheapy delivery with less radiotherapy dose to healthy tissues which are in close proximity to the lung tumours.
This study aims to promote the rational use of liquid biopsy in the clinical detection of lung cancer. Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The incidence of lung cancer in China is expected to increase in the next few years with the aging population and environmental pollution. Early diagnosis and effective intervention are necessary in the clinical treatment of lung cancer. Surgical resection could achieve a better prognosis for patients with early lung cancer. However, for advanced lung cancer, individualized treatment based on the pathological classification, molecular genetic characteristics, and body conditions of patients could effectively prolong the lifetime. The prevention, diagnosis, and intervention strategies for lung cancer depend on the oncology information of patients. The techniques and methods used for detecting lung cancer in clinic include imaging technology, pathological biopsy, screening of blood tumor markers, and liquid biopsy technology, which has been developed recently. The liquid biopsy can capture the oncology information, including tumor load, tumor gene mutation, and so on, from the blood of patients with cancer by detecting circulating tumor cells, tumor exosome, circulating tumor DNA, and circulating tumor RNA. Moreover, it has become an important direction for clinical tumor detection because of its noninvasiveness, convenient sampling, and potential for overcoming tumor heterogeneity. This study intends to include 400 patients with stage I-III lung cancer to research on lung cancer diagnosis, drug efficacy, surgical effect evaluation, recurrence monitoring, prognosis judgment, medication guidance, and molecular classification differentiation through the dynamic detection of blood ctDNA using the second-generation sequencing technology. The study also intends to analyze and establish the database with a large sample size.

This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects and how well MUC1 peptide-Poly-ICLC vaccine works in preventing lung cancer in current and former smokers at high risk for lung cancer. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cells. MUC1 peptide-Poly-ICLC vaccine may stimulate the body's immune system and slow or stop the changes from normal to pre-cancer to cancer.
The purpose of this study is to validate TNM-Immunoscore in resected non-small cell lung cancer.
