Filter by:The trial is a prospective feasibility trial conducted in Sheffield. Recruitment will include twenty patients receiving first line palliative immunotherapy for advanced, unresectable or metastatic mesothelioma and patients receiving first line systemic anti-cancer treatment for pancreatic cancer. Patients will attend the AWRC for a supervised exercise session once a week to include aerobic exercise along with an unsupervised weekly exercise session for 3 months. Blood samples will be collected at baseline and then monthly for 3 months, pre and post the supervised exercise session. Cytokine, myokine and immune cell concentration will be analysed using cytokine bead-based multiplex immune assays and RNA-seq to full profile changes in gene and protein expression
People with cancer affecting the lungs tend to be older and frailer compared to people with other cancers. As a result, they may have poorer quality of life and are less able to tolerate treatments for their cancer, such as chemotherapy. Research to date show that nutrition and physical activity support helps people with cancer, but not many older people are included in these studies. The investigators want to develop and test a nutrition and activity programme for older people with lung cancer that can be tailored to each patient to help them have the best possible quality of life from the moment they start a new line of cancer treatment. The research team has conducted the development work to find which nutrition and activity programmes are best for this patient group and how best to deliver the programme by looking at prior studies and talking to patients and carers as well as health care providers. The next step is to test the developed programme in a small pilot study, to i) see if it is possible and acceptable (to patients, families, and staff) to deliver and ii) see if it helps patients have and cope with anti-cancer treatments and improve patient quality of life.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, translational Phase 1/2 dose-escalation and expansion study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of RSO-021 after intrapleural (IP) administration in patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) (non-mesothelioma) and MPE from mesothelioma.
Lung carcinoma is the second most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. In Egypt, lung carcinoma ranks the 5th among all cancer cases. Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive neoplasm that arises from mesothelial cells which form the lining of the pleural. There is a strong resemblance between epithelioid mesothelioma and lung adenocarcinoma, some of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma or SCC present with pleurotropic growth like mesothelioma. Glypican-1 (GPC1) is one the six glypican family members. It is one of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans that acts as a growth factor signaling. The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of Glypican-1 in pleural epitheloid mesothelioma, lung adenocarcinoma and lung SCC
This is an open-label, non-randomized, phase II, single arm, multi-center controlled clinical trial. 47 patients will be enrolled in this trial to determine the efficacy and safety of Bintrafusp alfa (M7824) in advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma patients previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
Objective: To collect information on how often a solid tumor cancer might lose the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) by next generation sequencing and perform apheresis to collect and store an eligible participant's own T cells for future use to make CAR T-Cell therapy for their disease treatment. Design: This is a non-interventional, observational study to evaluate participants with solid tumors with a high risk of relapse for incurable disease. No interventional therapy will be administered on this study. Some of the information regarding the participant's tumor analysis may be beneficial to management of their disease. Participants that meet all criteria may be enrolled and leukapheresed (blood cells collected). The participant's cells will be processed and stored for potential manufacture of CAR T-cell therapy upon relapse of their cancer.
The purpose of the Dielectrics Properties of Thoracic Malignancies Study (DPTMS) is to provide a wealth of knowledge for investigators involved in establishing a new and effective treatment for a variety of solid tumors using tumor treatment fields. It is intended to provide biospecimen (tumor/healthy) together with demographic data (age, sex, race, occupational history, and other epidemiologic information), and clinical data (stage, treatment, survival information, and annotated CT's). Our specific aims are to test the following hypotheses: 1) Electric properties of thoracic tumors differ from electric properties of surrounding healthy tissue 2) Different tumor types will have different electric properties 3) Electric properties of individual tumors are heterogeneous 4) Electric properties of tumors are related to the structure and composition of the underlying tissue 5) Use of standard medical imaging data (CT) will permit mapping of electric properties.
The objective of the study is to induce a meaningful progression-free survival benefit in patients with Malign Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) after progression on first line standard platinum doublet chemotherapy, by treating with nivolumab and ipilimumab with or without UV1 vaccine.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
This study aims to find the maximum tolerated dose level for malignant pleural mesothelioma patients receiving background radiation + boost radiation, and surgery. Boost radiation is an experimental form of radiation that involves targeting non-uniform high doses of radiation to bulky pleural masses. We hypothesize the immunologic abscopal effect is an important component in controlling disease, and may be stimulated with highly hypofractionated doses. Doses will increase with every three patients who will be enrolled in the study until the background radiation reaches 1800 cGy or the maximum tolerated dose, whichever is lower.
