Filter by:This is a multicenter, multinational, double-blind, 1:1 randomized, parallel-group, equivalence Phase 3 study to compare the efficacy and safety of MB02 plus chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) versus Avastin® plus chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) in subjects with Stage IIIB/IV non-squamous NSCLC
One of the main challenges of thoracic oncology lies in earlier diagnosis of lung cancer to improve survival rate, wich is about 15% at 5 years. This poor prognosis is often linked to late diagnosis. Efforts are being made worldwide to offer testing in patients at risk or earlier diagnosis of lung cancer in order to offer the patient curative treatments. Indeed, supported at the stage of nodule (less than 3 cm lesion), lung cancer is curable by surgery in 80% of patients. Nevertheless, there are many differential diagnoses and access to these lesions is often difficult and risky. In this context, the management of pulmonary nodules, which can be either benign lesions or beginners cancers, is a real challenge for pulmonologists and thoracic oncologists every day: it is important not to disregard a potentially operable nodule and avoiding offer patients invasive procedures for benign nodules. Indeed, many procedures (endoscopy, puncture under scanner, thoracotomy) are made to determine if suspicious nodules are benign or not. In the large National Lung Screening Trial, 28% of the procedures were associated with complications (including 11% classified severe and 16 deaths). It is therefore essential to develop non-invasive tools to refine treatment decisions.
This research study is studying cryoablation (a treatment to kill cancer cells with extreme cold) combined with continued treatment with current immune checkpoint inhibitor as a possible treatment for lung cancer.
Malignant pleural effusion can occur in up to half of the patients with metastatic disease. It can cause shortness of breath to patients and so far there is no protocol on its management. The study is looking at patients with malignant pleural effusion and aims to identify its prognostic factors. Pleural fluid and blood analysis will be performed as in the standard of care and results will be collected at the start of diagnosis. This will not affect subsequent management plan. Patients' disease course will be followed up and progress data will be collected. Data will then be analysed to identify relevant prognostic factors.
In the light of a new era in the management of lung cancer this non-interventional study intend to capture all the epidemiological, clinical, pathological, molecular and treatment parameters of non-small cell (NSCLC) and small cell (SCLC) lung cancer patients from a tertiary Oncology Clinic in an Electronic Data Base (EDB).
A Retrospective Study of the Effectiveness and Safety of Nivolumab in Advanced/Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients in Japan
Alectinib was approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in Korea in Oct 2016. The purpose of this registry is to investigate and confirm the type and incidence of newly identified adverse events and any other factors affecting safety and effectiveness of the new drug so that the regulatory authority can manage the marketing approval properly.
The purpose of this study is to test whether the 19-gauge needle can collect more tissue and get better sampling during a bronchoscopy procedure.
Participants with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Performance Status (PS) 0-2, not suitable for concurrent Chemo-Radiotherapy (CTRT), will be treated with standard radiotherapy (radical or palliative). Archival tumour biopsies will be analysed for baseline Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Some participants will have a biopsy before radiotherapy if the archive biopsy is not suitable. Participants will be required to undergo an additional mandatory biopsy of the irradiated site during the second week of radiotherapy.
This research study is studying a drug intervention as a possible treatment for lung cancer. The drugs involved in this study are: - Nivolumab - Carboplatin - Pemetrexed - Ipilimumab
