Filter by:The realization of this project will generate an important advance in knowledge regarding one of the most important comorbidities in cancer patients: malnutrition. Currently, comprehensive treatments of cancer patients recognize the importance of the assessment of nutritional status, and the impact it has on the prognosis, quality of life and toxicity generated by cancer treatment. Due to this, it is imperative to offer diagnostic tools that identify patients in a timely manner and, in addition to this, offer therapeutic strategies for the improvement of nutritional status, in an adjuvant manner to their oncological treatment. It is widely recognized that the cachexia-anorexia syndrome (CACS) is present in 30 to 80% of cases in cancer patients and this proportion increases as the disease progresses, with weight loss being a powerful predictor of shorter survival. Unfortunately, current therapies available to treat anorexia and / or cancer-associated cachexia offer only partial results, mainly because the intervention is late and the development of an earlier and more effective intervention is still sought. Mirtazapine has recently gained attention not only because of its antidepressant effect, but also because of its potential benefit in patients with anorexia and weight loss, recently reported in a phase II study. Therefore, it is important to continue its evaluation through a randomized, double-blind clinical trial in which the effect of mirtazapine is compared and it is determined if it is superior compared to placebo to increase appetite in patients with NSCLC who present with anorexia. This type of strategy is a relevant therapeutic option in those patients in whom nutritional counseling by itself is not sufficient to counteract the damage caused by anorexia and to cope with or prevent the development of cachexia.
This prospective, multicountry, multicentre, non-interventional study plans to include patients who have undergone surgery for early-stage (IA to IIIB on the basis of pathologic criteria) non-squamous NSCLC up to 6 weeks prior to enrolment into the study. The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of EGFRm in patients with surgically resected early-stage (IA to IIIB) non-squamous NSCLC as there are limited data on its prevalence in this patient population.
Nivolumab is an approved treatment option for patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC, based on the survival benefit shown versus docetaxel in randomized phase III trials in second line. However, the profile of treatment and even patient outcomes are often different in routine clinical practice than in a clinical trial setting. Furthermore, the financial impact of an approved therapy is often largely unknown. This study will record the efficacy and tolerability of Nivolumab in previously treated patients with NSCLC and describe the treatment patterns and economic impact in real-world settings in Greece.
Background: In end-stage patients when all management options have been used, will often develop compromise of their airways as the cancer continues to progress. Endobronchial therapy options may help to relieve some of their symptoms, allowing improvement in their shortness of breath as they go home in combination with other palliative therapies. Objective: to compare the safety ; efficacy; and clinical outcome of endobronchial cryotherapy combined with chemotherapy and/ or radiotherapy versus chemo-radiotherapy alone on patients with Non small cell lung cancer. Patients and method(s): A prospective randomized clinical trial was carried out on 60 patients with different ages of both sexes, diagnosed as bronchogenic carcinoma non-small cell lung cancer type (NSCLC) . The patients attended the hospital in the chest department, Qena Faculty of Medicine, South Valley University. Assessment of the patients was done and randomly assigned into two groups. Group1 ,Include 30 patients subjected to chemotherapy , radiotherapy and endobronchial cryotherapy.Group 2 , Include include 30 patients subjected to chemotherapy and radiotherapy alone.
This is a prospective, clinical, multicentre study aimed to collect biological samples and study microbiota from subjects with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and metastatic melanoma. Microbiota is a complex consortium of microorganisms, located at the mucosal level (in particular intestinal, oral and vaginal) having a key role in human health and in the onset of several diseases. Microbiota alterations have been found in several diseases (gastrointestinal, metabolic, renal, oncological, gynaecological) The study will allow to: - Provide biological samples (faeces, saliva, blood, urine) from oncologic patients to the first Italian microbiota biobank; - Study microorganisms using different in vitro and in vivo techniques; - Study the link between the microbiota and the disease. This study is part of the BIOMIS project (Project Code: ARS01_01220), presented as part of the "Avviso per la presentazione di progetti di ricerca industriale e sviluppo sperimentale nelle 12 aree di specializzazione individuate dal PNR 2015-2020" and admitted to funding under the National Operational Program "Ricerca e Innovazione" 2014-2020 by directorial decree of MIUR - Department for Higher Education and Research - n. 2298 of 12 September 2018. BIOMIS includes several clinical studies that enrol patients with different pathologies to collect and store biological samples and study microbiota.
This study is to establish a safe and tolerable dose and to investigate pharmacokinetics and the first clinical efficacy signals of M1231 as a single agent in participants with solid tumors (Part 1) and with metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (Part 2). Dose escalation will be followed by the dose expansion once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended dose for Expansion (RDE) has been defined.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) combined with lenvatinib (MK-7902/E7080) compared to pembrolizumab alone (with placebo for lenvatinib) in treatment-naïve adults with no prior systemic therapy for their metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have a programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) greater than or equal to 1%. The primary study hypotheses are that: 1) the combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib is superior to pembrolizumab alone as assessed by Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1); and 2) the combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib is superior to pembrolizumab alone as assessed by Overall Survival (OS).
This is a multicenter, observational study involving a retrospective collection of data. A total of potential 16 key performance indicators (KPIs) had been developed from a panel of experts (clinicians, IT experts, etc..) to investigate the appropriateness of care in NSCLC patients, with a special focus on the use of immunotherapy. The eligible population and data will be gathered retrospectively using an algorithm. Administrative databases will be used as unique resource: to identify target population and to collect patient's data with which measure KPIs.
The prospective study aims to explore the value of total-body PET/CT dynamic imaging (uExplorer) in assessing tumor metabolic heterogeneity and predicting prognosis for patients with locally advanced, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (stage III) treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus nivolumab and definitive concurrent chemoradiation therapy.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the paclitaxel-bevacizumab combination retrospectively and multicenter in current practice, with subgroup analyses of the following patients: patients who have previously received immunotherapy, patients with an EGFR or ALK oncogenic addiction pathway, patients who have previously received taxanes or anti-angiogenic agents.
