NCT ID: NCT06315296 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8

An Interactive Time-Restricted Diet Intervention (txt4fasting) for Reducing Neurocognitive Decline and Improving Survival in Patients With Brain Metastases From Breast or Lung Cancer

Start date: December 13, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This clinical trial tests the effectiveness of an interactive time-restricted diet intervention (txt4fasting) in reducing neurocognitive decline and improving survival outcomes after stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with breast or lung cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Lung cancer and breast cancer are the two most frequent causes of brain metastases. The diagnosis of brain metastases is associated with poorer survival and tumor-induced and treatment-related side effects. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. Patients who receive stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases may experience less neurocognitive side effects than with other types of brain radiation, but may still be at risk for their brain metastases growing, spreading, or getting worse. Patients with obesity and diabetes have been shown to have worse survival and increased radiation-related side effects. Evidence demonstrates that simply changing meal timing can have a positive impact on multiple health outcomes. Time-restricted eating, or prolonged nighttime fasting, has been proven to have positive effects on heart disease risk reduction, weight control management and chemotherapy side effect reduction. Txt4fasting may be effective in decreasing neurocognitive decline and improving survival outcomes in patients undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases from breast or lung cancer.

NCT ID: NCT06075524 Recruiting - Metastatic Melanoma Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Anti-PD-1 Therapy by Monitoring T Cell Responses in Melanoma, Lung and Other Cancer Types

Start date: June 15, 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study explores the role of T cells in monitoring disease status and response during anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment in patients with melanoma, lung and other cancer types. Measuring levels of specific targets such as Bim and soluble PD-L1 during therapy may help track treatment resistance and clinical outcomes. This information may also help researchers determine why some people with melanoma, lung and other cancer types respond to PD-1/PD-L1 treatment and others do not.

NCT ID: NCT05342571 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8

A Biobehavioral/Cognitive Treatment for Stress, Depression, and Anxiety in Patients With Stage IV Lung Cancer

Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This phase IIb trial studies the effect of a biobehavioral/cognitive (ABC) treatment on stress, depression, and anxiety in patients with stage IV lung cancer. Advanced lung cancer and stress or depression are associated with increased inflammation and decreased immunity. ABC is a combination of biobehavioral intervention, which studies the interaction between behavioral and biological processes, and cognitive therapy for the treatment for anxiety and depressive disorders. Giving ABC during lung cancer treatment may reduce stress, depression, and anxiety, and improve patients' quality of life and health.

NCT ID: NCT05215769 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Metastatic Malignant Solid Neoplasm

A Video Intervention to Improve Patient Understanding of Tumor Genomic Testing in Patients With Metastatic Cancer

Start date: March 30, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This clinical trial tests whether a video intervention improves patient understanding of tumor genomic testing in patients with cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Measuring how the video intervention affects patient understanding of tumor genomic testing in patients with metastatic cancer may help doctors provide patient-centered care by effectively communicating the importance of tumor genomic testing.

NCT ID: NCT04785287 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Advanced Malignant Solid Neoplasm

Anti-CTLA4-NF mAb (BMS986218), Nivolumab, and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Metastatic Solid Malignancies

Start date: March 29, 2021
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of anti-CTLA4-NF monoclonal antibody (mAb) (BMS986218), nivolumab, and stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with solid malignancies that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-CTLA4-NF mAb (BMS-986218) 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. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving -CTLA4-NF mAb (BMS986218), nivolumab, and stereotactic body radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

NCT ID: NCT04752267 Completed - Glioma Clinical Trials

18F-FMAU PET/CT and MRI for the Detection of Brain Tumors in Patients With Brain Cancer or Brain Metastases

Start date: February 15, 2021
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This early phase I trial tests the use of a radioactive tracer (a drug that is visible during an imaging test) known as 18F-FMAU, for imaging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with brain cancer or cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). A PET/CT scan is an imaging test that uses a small amount of radioactive tracer (given through the vein) to take detailed pictures of areas inside the body where the tracer is taken up. 18F-FMAU may also help find the cancer and how far the disease has spread. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of imaging test used to diagnose brain tumors. 18F-FMAU PET/CT in addition to MRI may make the finding and diagnosing of brain tumor easier.

NCT ID: NCT03902535 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8

Geriatric and Quality of Life Assessments in Older Patients With Non-metastatic or Metastatic Head and Neck or Lung Cancer Undergoing Surgery or Chemoradiation and Their Caregivers

Start date: March 8, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This trial studies comprehensive geriatric and quality of life assessments in older patients with head and neck or lung cancer that has or has not spread to other parts of the body who are undergoing standard surgery or chemoradiation, and their caregivers. Comprehensive geriatric assessment may improve the quality of life of patients with head and neck or lung cancer and their caregivers.

NCT ID: NCT03707925 Terminated - Clinical trials for Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8

Bronchoscopic Laser Ablation of Peripheral Lung Tumors

Start date: September 18, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

As our population ages and we diagnose early lung cancer in patients who cannot undergo surgery due to multiple medical conditions, there is growing interest in minimally invasive modalities to treat these tumors. In this study we are assessing the ability of bronchoscopic laser ablation to kill the cancer cells in these tumors. Patients will undergo bronchoscopy (a tube-like instrument inserted through the mouth to view the inside of the trachea, air passages, and lungs). A thin catheter will be passed through the wind-pipes and into the lung tumor with computed tomography guidance. A laser probe is then passed through this catheter and it is used to destroy the tumor with heat. Patients will then undergo lung surgery with resection of the tumor, and the resected specimen will be reviewed to describe the amount of tumor-kill produced by the laser.
