Filter by:This is a phase II clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy of PD-L1 inhibition with atezolizumab in advanced squamous and non-squamous NSCLC patients previously treated with anti-PD-1 therapy with either nivolumab or pembrolizumab. In order to account for the variability of response kinetics to PD-1 directed therapy, patients will be enrolled in 3 parallel cohorts based on the best overall response to PD-1 directed therapy. - Cohort 1 (progressive disease) - Cohort 2 (stable disease with minimum 12 weeks of therapy) - Cohort 3 (partial to complete response followed by progressive disease)
In a person with cancer, low muscle mass and strength increases the risks of suffering from severe complications of the disease, its treatment, and dying. To prevent muscle loss in cancer, stimulating muscle protein anabolism (growth) by fueling muscles with protein is crucial. Dairy products are not only a source of high-quality protein but are a preferred food choice for cancer patients as they progress through chemotherapy treatment. Although commercially available oral nutritional supplements containing essential amino acids are often promoted for protein anabolism, these products are not preferred by cancer patients. Moreover, our research group has shown that patients consuming oral nutritional supplements actually lose more weight than those who chose regular whole-food items. Evidence of the health effects of consuming dairy products is needed to influence dietary recommendations for people with cancer. The objective of our study is to perform a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of dairy products to maintain muscle mass and strength and improve patient outcomes in people undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
This study is a single arm, multi-center phase II study of olaparib monotherapy in patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) harboring HR pathway gene mutations not limited to BRCA 1/2 mutations, ATM deficiency or MRE11A mutations as second or third line chemotherapy. Target subject population: Patients with small cell lung cancer that have progressed following first-line platinum-based therapy. Patients must have imaging confirmed progression on 1st line chemotherapy for SCLC treatment, which must have contained platinum-based regimen, with at least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1.
The focus of the study is to test a nurse-led telephone-based palliative care intervention on improving the delivery of care for patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer. The study is a three site randomized control trial to determine the efficacy of the intervention on improving patients' quality of life, symptom burden, and satisfaction of care. Additionally, the study will test an innovative care delivery model to improve patients' access to palliative care. The investigators will also determine the effect of the intervention on patient activation to discuss treatment preferences with their clinician and on clinician knowledge of patients' goals of care.
The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of high-activity natural killer immunotherapy to small metastases of non-small cell lung cancer.
This is a Phase II trial to determine the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and in situ oncolytic virus therapy used as a window of opportunity treatment before pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In situ oncolytic virus therapy will consist of adenovirus-mediated expression of herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (ADV/HSV-tk) plus valacyclovir therapy.
The purpose of this study is to explore the possible links between participant characteristics and their cancer, with how effective the combination of nivolumab with ipilimumab is, in participants with Stage IV or recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
The purpose of the study is to determine the value of FLT-PET early after initiated chemotherapy in patients with small cell lung cancer, and to determine whether MRI of the brain should be performed routinely in these patients.
This study investigates the feasibility of FLT-PET to improve the diagnosis of relapse in patients with irradiated lung cancer in comparison with FDG-PET/CT.
Based on the efficacy of immunotherapies in advanced disease with a reasonable safety profile/tolerability we could hypothesize that, immunotherapy should work best in the situation of minimal residual disease, Two clinical trials are ongoing to test the role of immunotherapeutic agents in the adjuvant setting: PEARLS trial, a randomized phase III trial with anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody pembrolizumab (MK-3475 or pembrolizumab) versus placebo for patients with early stage NSCLC after resection and completion of standard adjuvant therapy, and the second randomized phase III trial (NCT02273375) will evaluate the efficacy of an anti-PD-L1 (MEDI 4736) for a maximum of 12 months versus placebo as adjuvant therapy in completed resected stage IB-IIIA NSCLC and completed standard ACT. The role of immunotherapeutic approaches for NSCLC in the neoadjuvant setting is currently unknown. However, based on the survival efficacy of immunotherapeutic strategies in advanced NSCLC where the tumor has not been removed which could produce higher immunogenicity and based on the efficacy of neoadjuvant treatments in NSCLC, we propose to test the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab as neoadjuvant therapy in subjects diagnosed with stage I, II, or IIIA (non N2) NSCLC and who are deemed suitable for surgical resection. Clinical staging of NSCLC is based on computed tomography (CT) of the chest and upper abdomen, brain CT or magnetic resonance imaging and 18F-FDG PETscan to rule out metastatic disease and assess the potential for curative-intent resection. Adjuvant chemotherapy will be performed according the standard clinical guidelines.
