Filter by:The aim is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of binimetinib in combination with pemetrexed and cisplatin, and to demonstrate that the combination is feasible and has preliminary activity in previously untreated patients with advanced NSCLC and documented KRAS mutations.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients often undergo thoracic surgery due to lung cancer and emphysematous changes. One lung ventilation (OLV) used in thoracic surgery aggravates hypoxia and hypercapnia increasing intrapulmonary shunt and dead space.Ketamine provide bronchodilation by inhibiting the reuptake of catecholamines in the circulation. It also serves relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle. Our aim in this study, effects of ketamine on arterial oxygenation, the shunt fraction and the lung mechanics in patients with COPD who administered OLV because of thoracic surgery. Thirty patients with COPD who undergo thoracotomy for lung lobectomy will be included in this study. Patients will be randomly divided to a control group (%0,9 saline- CG) or a keta (ketamine- KG) group. KG will be administered 1 mg/kg ketamine bolus, then 0,5 mg/kg/hour ketamine infusion after the induction, CG will be administered sline bolus, then saline infusion. Peak airway pressure (Ppeak), plato airway pressure (Pplato), static compliance, shunt fraction, PaO2/FiO2 and arteriel blood gas values (Pa02, PaC02) will be recorded before initiation of OLV and 30 minutes intervals after initiation of OLV.To evaluate the postoperative pulmonary complications, Pa02, PaC02 in blood gas and Pa02/Fi02 values will be recorded 20 minute after arrival at postoperative care unit. Patients will be evaluated for pneumonia, atelectasis and acute lung injury at postoperative 72 h and findings will be recorded. 30 day mortality will be recorded.
This study evaluates the feasibility of a clinical informatics system-based approach to lung cancer screening. Patients of a large academic medical center who may qualify for lung cancer screening will be sent an electronic invitation to complete an online lung cancer screening decision aid.
This study is aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose of ensartinib, an oral ALK inhibitor in Chinese patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer
Breathing movements, called chest wall motion, are very complex. The investigators are studying how movement of the abdomen, ribs and diaphragm contribute to breathing and how this differs with different diseases in the chest. Breathing movements may help with diagnosis, assessment of severity or assessing the impact of treatments for chest conditions. The investigators are following people who have a chest disease, measuring their chest wall motion and comparing it to their diagnosis and and how their treatment works. Chest wall motion can be measured in different ways at rest and whilst exercising. Small stickers on the chest can be used to reflect infra red light or visible squares of light can be shone onto the chest without using stickers.
The trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three-dimensional printed navigational template in the clinical application of small peripheral lung nodule localization.
A study to evaluate safety and tolerability of BMS-986012 in patients with small cell lung cancer
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of nimotuzumab when giving together with nivolumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nimotuzumab and nivolumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells.
Although fist-line therapy with Cisplatin and etoposide(EP)or Carboplatin and etoposide(CE)and second-line therapy with topotecan has been given, patients with extensive small cell lung cancer(ED-SCLC) still relapse and 2-year survival is less than 10%. There is no standard treatment recommendation for this group of patients who failed to second-line therapy and had good performance status. Apatinib has been approved as a second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Several phase III clinical studies of non small cell lung cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer and other tumors also showed apatinib has less toxic side effects and better patient tolerance. However, the clinical application of apatinib in small cell lung cancer is still lack of evidence-based medicine. And this clinical trial is designed to prospectively investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in refractory or recurrent ED-SCLC patients in our center.
The investigators will conduct nationally representative survey in chest physicians in Egypt in 2016-2017. Self-administered questionnaire will be used to assess the physicians' knowledge of lung cancer screening guidelines, beliefs about the effectiveness of screening tests, and ordering of screening chest radiography, low-dose spiral computed tomography, or sputum cytology in the past 12 months.
