Filter by:In case of PET or CT based cN1 (suspected) NSCLC, ESTS guidelines propose mediastinal staging by echo-endoscopy OR mediastinoscopy. Recent data show a sensitivity of less than 50% for echo-endoscopy to detect N2 disease in cN1 NSCLC patients, while prevalence of mediastinal nodal disease was 24% (unpublished data Aster II).2 The investigators plan to perform a prospective multicentric observational study to measure the sensitivity of mediastinal staging by video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM) in cN1 operable and resectable (suspected) NSCLC patients.
In this study, participants with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be randomized to receive single agent pembrolizumab for up to 35 treatments or standard of care (SOC) platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin + paclitaxel or carboplatin + pemetrexed for 4 to 6 21-day cycles). Participants in the platinum-based chemotherapy arms with non-squamous tumor histologies may receive pemetrexed maintenance therapy after the 4 to 6 cycles of chemotherapy. The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab prolongs overall survival (OS) compared to SOC chemotherapy.
This is a Phase I, open-label, 2-part study in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation positive (EGFRm+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), who have progressed following prior therapy with an approved EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) agent. Part A will assess the effect of rifampicin on the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of AZD9291 and metabolites AZ5104 and AZ7550 following multiple oral dosing of both rifampicin and AZD9291 in a fasted state. Part B will allow patients further access to AZD9291 after the PK phase (Part A) and will provide for additional safety data collection. All patients who complete Part A will be able to enter part B, and continue to receive AZD9291 80 mg once daily until: disease progression; they are no longer deriving clinical benefit; or any other reason.
In this randomized multicentric phase II study it will be investigated whether an accelerated postoperative radiotherapy with photons or protons (7 fractions per week, 2 Gy single dose) may improve locoregional tumour control in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in comparison to conventional fractionation (5 fractions per week, 2 Gy single dose).
To assess if targeting activating EGFR and HER2 mutations in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is more effective when these mutations are truncal dominant mutations (≥50%), as opposed to non-dominant (≥5 to <50%) or low frequency mutations (<5%). This trial will be available to patients registered to the TRACERx study (NCT01888601), or non-TRACERx patients who have two archival tissue/DNA samples who are willing to have a biopsy of their relapsed disease.
Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United Kingdom, accounting for 22% of cancer deaths. The main treatments for lung cancer are surgery, radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Current methods, for assessing lung function in lung cancer patients i.e. spirometry and gas transfer are inadequate. We aim to develop a new technique capable of describing regional lung abnormality using hyperpolarized xenon gas MRI. The study will involve 50 patients diagnosed with lung cancer considered suitable for radical radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Participants will be offered hyperpolarized Xe129 MR at baseline, two weeks after commencement of radiotherapy schedules and four followup visits over one year posttreatment. Patients will undertake extensive study measures at baseline and followup visits, including chest CT scans, ventilation/perfusion nuclear medicine scans, gadolinium enhanced MRI scans, pulmonary function tests, breathlessness scores, radiotherapy induced lung toxicity assessments and exercise testing. Participation in these full tests takes a day, allowing patients time to rest between tests and allowing for a period of observation following the final hyperpolarized xenon scan. The investigators will correlate baseline hyperpolarized Xe129 MR imaging with spirometry and breathlessness scores to determine if tolerance for radiotherapy is better predicted by hyperpolarized Xe129 MR imaging. The investigators will evaluate changes in hyperpolarized Xe129 MR imaging before and after radiotherapy (RT) to determine if it provides better monitoring of response compared with spirometry. The study will take place at the Churchill Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals National Health Service Trust and will be funded by the National Institute for Health Research Oxford Biomedical Research Centre. Hyperpolarized Xe129 MR imaging has the potential to inform individual suitability for radiotherapy schedules better than the investigations used currently. In addition, hyperpolarized Xe129 MR imaging has the potential for better monitoring of treatment response and improved detection of radiation induced lung injury, invaluable to treating patients with radiation induced injury.
Study comparing two regimens of nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin combination in elderly subjects (≥ 70 years old) with advanced NSCLC
The results of fastact2 show that chemotherapy plus erlotinib significantly prolonged PFS and OS of patients with NSCLC. However, outcome of the combination therapy are similar to those reported in several trials of single-agent EGFR TKIs. So which is the optimal first-line treatment for patients who harbored a sensitive EGFR mutation? The investigators need a head-to-head study to reply.
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is a new radiation treatment that delivers high-dose, precise radiation to small tumors in 1-3 weeks of treatment. The study combines SABR and surgery to treat non-small cell lung cancer. SABR will be done first, with surgery done approximately 10 weeks later. There will be some extra imaging done before and after the SABR. The purpose of this study is to determine how effective SABR is in killing the cancer cells, and if SABR can help make surgery more effective.
This multicenter, retrospective and prospective observational, cohort study will examine the effect of second-line Tarceva treatment on long response in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) participants with wild type or unknown EGFR status. Participants will be observed from the start of treatment for 8 months or until death. The extension of the retrospective versus prospective observation will depend on the lag between the date of the participant enrollment and the date of beginning of erlotinib therapy.
