Filter by:The aim of the study is prospective comparison of diagnostical and therapeutical efficiency between different methods of mediastinal lymph node preoperative staging in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Two hundred patients with histologically/cytologically confirmed clinical stage primary I-IIIA NSCLC will be included. The patients must be fit enough to undergo at least pulmonary lobectomy. Computer Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) will be performed in all patients. Subsequently, the patients without evidence of dissemination will be randomized to transbronchial and transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound-guided needle aspiration ( EBUS-TBNA, EUS-NA) or Transcervical Extended Mediastinal Lymphadenectomy (TEMLA). The patients with N3 will be referred to definitive oncological treatment, the patients with N2 metastases will be referred to neoadjuvant treatment and the patients without N2/3 metastases will be operated on. The operative procedure will include at least lobectomy with complete lymphadenectomy, with open or video-assisted (VATS) technique. The patients undergoing sublobar resection will be excluded from this study. Final analysis will include comparison of the diagnostic yield and 5-year survival between the EBUS/EUS and the TEMLA arms.
In this study, effects of γδT cells on human Lung Cancer in combination with tumor reducing surgery, for example, cryosurgery going to be investigated
The assessment of the type and frequency of EGFR and KRAS mutations in lung cancer patients, as well as clinical-prognostic correlation, are crucial in the era of targeted therapies. EGFR-activating mutations predict responsiveness to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and KRAS analysis will be useful in a near future for newest target drugs. In Brazil, few data about the prevalence of EGFR and KRAS mutations is available and their knowledge would allow optimize personalized medicine.
The objective of this study is to assess the similarity between QL1101 and Avastin® respectively combined with chemotherapy in terms of efficacy and safety in patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. The study intends to include first-line patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, and uses QL1101 combined with basic chemotherapy CP (paclitaxel + carboplatin). The regimen is consistent with the usage and dosage of Avastin® at home and abroad indicated for the treatment of non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter, 2-arm study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the addition of a vaccine therapy to 1 or 2 checkpoint inhibitors for NSCLC. Arm A: messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) Vaccine [BI 1361849 (formerly CV9202)] + anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody [durvalumab] Arm B: messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) Vaccine [BI 1361849] + anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) [durvalumab] + anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) antibody [tremelimumab] The run-in evaluation phase is followed by an expansion phase in which the cohort is expanded to 20 subjects (inclusive of subjects from the run-in).
The paradigm of pre-operative exercise as a neoadjuvant therapy to reduce morbidity is increasingly promoted within general surgery and surgical oncology. Patients with lung cancer participating in pre-operative exercise have better aerobic capacity and pulmonary function and shorter hospital length-of-stay after surgery. Additionally, pre-operative exercise may increase the likelihood of resuming exercise post-surgery, thereby accelerating the pace of rehabilitation and recovery. In order to translate the research findings into sustainable clinical practice, clinician-scientists need to develop pragmatic and effective home-based exercise protocols. Wearable fitness devices offer a way to approximate the supervision that occurs in exercise research. Before the investigators can develop an intervention in which patients receive tailored support similar to what occurs with supervised exercise, they need to pilot test the monitoring aspect of the wearable fitness device in conjunction with the pre-operative exercise program. The investigators propose a mixed methods, 16 single arm feasibility study of an unsupervised, pre-operative exercise prescription (uPEP) augmented by a wearable fitness device. The proposed study of 30 patients scheduled for lung cancer surgery will identify the strengths, weaknesses, and utility of this approach.
Gefitinib is a selective small molecule epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI), it's curative effect on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been confirmed by a number of prospective clinical trials. The researches aim to analysis whether bone metastasis could affect the survival of NSCLC patients who were effective in Gefitinib treatment over 6 months.
The main objective is to assess the efficacy of afatinib in combination with pembrolizumab, as measured by objective response (OR) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous NSCLC who progressed during or after first line platinum-based treatment. The secondary objectives are to confirm the RP2D, assess the safety profile, and the secondary measures of clinical efficacy including disease control (DC), duration of objective response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and tumour shrinkage.
Recent studies have shown that the assessment of a set of cytokines and / or circulating angiogenic factors (FACs) could be used to identify prognostic factors predictive of efficacy and / or potential mechanisms of resistance to antiangiogenic agents
Clinical trial results demonstrate that anti-PD-1 antibodies prolonged OS to approximately 9 months compared with 6 months in docetaxel group. Anti-PD-1 therapy in Chinese squamous NSCLC patients will be investigated in this clinical trial. Additionally, the correlation between PD-L1 expression and the response to IBI308 treatment in Chinese squamous cell NSCLC patients as well as the role of irRECIST in immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment evaluation will also be assessed
