Filter by:This clinical trial refines and tests the effect of a decision aid in improving decision-making in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Patients with cancer want to be informed about their diagnoses, treatment procedures and goals of treatment. They also seek active roles in decision-making. Shared decision-making (SDM) is the process of clinician and patient jointly participating in a health decision after discussing the options, benefits and harms, and considering the patient's values, preferences, and circumstances. SDM can improve patient involvement in decision making, satisfaction, health care quality, and quality of life. Decision aids can improve patient knowledge, create more realistic outcome expectations; reduce decisional conflict, distress, depression and uncertainty; and improve physician-patient communication and quality of life, compared with no decision aid. This trial's main aim is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a decision aid in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
This trial studies how well an enhanced tobacco intervention protocol (ETIP) works compared to standard treatment in helping head and neck and lung cancer patients starting treatment to reduce cigarette use. ETIP is an evidence-based tobacco cessation program including specialized one-to-one and telehealth counseling, drug therapy, nicotine replacement therapy, and frequent patient follow up. ETIP may help reduce smoking and improve cessation in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer or non-small cell lung cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab given every 12 weeks works compared to every 3 weeks in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving pembrolizumab every 12 weeks may provide similar disease control with fewer treatments for patients with non-small cell lung cancer when compared to every 3 weeks. Demonstrating that 12 week dosing is as effective as 3 week dosing may also have a significant impact when considering the cost required for these medications.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of ipilimumab and nivolumab in combination with radiation therapy, and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Ipilimumab and nivolumab may also help radiation therapy work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the radiation therapy. Giving ipilimumab and nivolumab in combination with radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer compared to standard chemotherapy in combination with radiation therapy.
This trial studies treatment effects on development of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with cancer. Treatments for cancer can cause a problem to the nervous system (called peripheral neuropathy) that can lead to tingling or less feeling in hands and feet. Studying certain risk factors, such as age, gender, pre-existing conditions, and the type of treatment for cancer may help doctors estimate how likely patients are to develop the nerve disorder.
This early phase I trial studies the side effects and how well local consolidative therapy (LCT) and brigatinib works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent). Giving LCT, such as surgery and/or radiation, after initial treatment may kill any remaining tumor cells. Brigatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving LCT and brigatinib may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
This phase II/III trial studies how well anamorelin hydrochloride works in reducing anorexia in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Anamorelin hydrochloride may help to improve patients' appetite in order to stop weight loss.
This phase II trial studies how well osimertinib, surgery, and radiation therapy work in treating patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutations. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving osimertinib, surgery, and radiation therapy may work better at treating non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutations.
This phase II trial studies how well danvatirsen and durvalumab work in treating patients with pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and does not respond to treatment. Danvatirsen may be used to block the production of proteins needed for tumor cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving danvatirsen and durvalumab may work better at treating pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer.
