Filter by:This is a randomized phase 2 study to compare the efficacy of neoadjuvant, consolidation, and adjuvant immunotherapy (NANT NSCLC Combination Immunotherapy; experimental arm) to standard of care (surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy; control arm) in subjects with stage II-IIIa resectable NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to see whether patients who have early stage NSCLC bigger than a certain size might benefit from receiving additional medicinal drug to treat their cancer after the SBRT Surgeons and radiation doctors have understood for some time that the chances of cancer showing up in areas outside the chest are higher for patients with tumors bigger than 3 cm, (about 1 ¼ inches). However, it is not routine to offer chemotherapy or drug treatments after radiation or surgery for lung cancer for patients with early stage lung cancer. This is because giving extra treatment in the form of chemotherapy has not shown to help patients live longer. There has been reluctance to offer additional treatments, especially chemotherapy, to patients with lung cancer who could not have surgery because of their medical issues. Even if these patients were felt to be at a higher risk of their cancer coming back, there is hesitation because the treatments can be difficult to tolerate in frail patients. Recently, there have been very important advances in the kinds of drug therapy that are used for lung cancer patients. These kinds of drugs are called immunotherapy since they work with the body's immune system to fight the cancer. These drugs have been shown to make patients with advanced, incurable lung cancer, live longer and also to be very safe with very limited side effects. Because of these favorable characteristics, cancer specialists are interested in using these drugs for patients with curable cancer and for patients who may be too fragile for traditional chemotherapy. In this way, patients who get SBRT are already known to be fragile so cancer doctors are interested in now studying this kind of drug in SBRT patients to see if it can make patients with large tumors do better. The idea of the study then is that the patient would receive their standard SBRT and if their tumor is of a certain size that makes the risk of the cancer showing up outside the chest higher than routine, they would be considered for getting the immunotherapy drug. Pembrolizumab is an investigational drug (also known as Keytruda), which has been approved by the FDA for use in certain types of skin cancer (melanoma), and for use in certain types of head and neck cancer. However, it has not been approved for use in other cancers such as newly diagnosed early stage NSCLC. It is FDA approved for advanced NSCLC, that is people who have already had some chemotherapy and their disease has worsened. Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the surface of some cells of the immune system and activates them against cancer cells. It is not chemotherapy.
To describe the T790M mutation status of patients with locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC who progressed on previous EGFR TKI treatment in a real-world setting.
This study is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study evaluating adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with autologous TIL therapy (LN-145) in combination with Anti-PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab.
This is a study of experimental medication BMS-986205 given with Nivolumab with or without chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.
This is a single-center cross-sectional imaging study in patients with localized lung cancer undergoing immunotherapy with or without stereotactic radiation therapy as part of the companion clinical trial (NCT03217071; Pembrolizumab With and Without Radiotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer). Each patient will undergo a single [18F]F-AraG PET exam as part of this study. [18F]F-AraG will be administered at a single time point intravenously prior to PET imaging. Whole-body PET will be acquired along with a whole body low dose CT (PET/CT) used for attenuation correction and anatomic localization of [18F]F-AraG uptake, SUV calculation, and volumetric selection for radiomic analyses.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide and in the U.K alone; there are 38,000 new cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) a year. The new treatment being tested in this study is called pembrolizumab, this is a type of immunotherapy, which works by stimulating the body's own immune system to fight cancer cells. Pembrolizumab blocks a protein on the T-cell surface (one of the cells of the immune system), which then triggers the cell to find and kill cancer cells. This will be given with radiotherapy to see if this combination is safe and effective at treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Pembrolizumab has proved to be a safe and effective treatment for other cancers such as melanoma and lung cancer. Radiotherapy is often given as standard treatment to treat lung cancer, and is proven to be a safe and tolerable treatment. However, the safety of the combination of Pembrolizumab and thoracic radiotherapy delivered concurrently has not been tested yet prospectively
A phase II study to evaluate antitumor activity of oral cMET inhibitor INC280 in adult Chinese patients with EGFR wild-type, advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have received one or two prior lines of systemic therapy for advanced/metastatic disease as measured by overall response rate (ORR). The study will also evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics of INC280.
This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with NSCLC who have progressed on or after treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.
Both metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and extensive stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) are incurable with current therapies, but due to mutations induced by cigarette smoke, typically express a large number of altered proteins that can be recognized as foreign by the immune system. This antigenicity is thought to explain the efficacy of pembrolizumab as either a first or second line treatment in this disease. For patients who receive chemotherapy plus immunotherapy as a first line therapy, there is sound rationale for combination treatment with immunotherapy and a therapeutic antitumor vaccine as a maintenance strategy. Regardless of PD-L1 expression in the tumor, monoclonal antibodies that block PD-1/PD-L1 interactions are effective second line therapies after chemotherapy in both NSCLC and SCLC. In addition, by targeting the immune system against tumor specific antigens using a peptide vaccine, the efficacy of pembrolizumab alone is expected to be enhanced, with an improved response rate and prolonged overall survival with no additional toxicity. This pilot study will provide a preliminary test of the feasibility of generating a personalized, tumor neoantigen-specific therapeutic vaccine and the safety of combining it with checkpoint blockade immunotherapy.
