Filter by:Despite aggressive surgery and chemotherapy, the risk of lung cancer recurrence remains high in most patients. This study aims to determine if a novel immune therapy consisting of two drugs is feasible and potentially increases the chance of cure in lung cancer patients after surgery and standard chemotherapy. The immune-based therapy being given in this study consists of two medications named durvalumab and tremelimumab.
A Study to Evaluate Safety in Participants with Chemotherapy-naïve Stage IV or Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Treated With Nivolumab in Combination with Ipilimumab
Current dose escalation regimens with and without chemotherapy have failed to achieve improved local control and overall survival over standard of care therapy to date. Difficulties with dose escalation have been largely due to dose limiting toxicities of surrounding normal organs, in particular to the normal lung parenchyma, and esophagus. Real time, online adaptive planning using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could achieve significant volume reduction of primary lung disease over the course of therapy, thereby reducing dose to normal structures, and providing a mechanism in which to dose escalate safely, and more effectively with accurate target delineation. The investigators hypothesize that MRI based adaptive planning will provide a novel method to dose escalate safely with acceptable organ at risk doses. In addition, further improvements in radiotherapy targeting accuracy, normal tissue avoidance, and conformality of target-tissue coverage will be achieved through the use of 4D real-time tracking which is derived by deformably registering daily MR and planning MR (MRsim) and Computed Tomography Simulator (CTsim) with advanced non-rigid image-registration tools.
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Different chemotherapy and radiation regimens have been advocated but in general, cisplatin-doublets are deemed standard of care. Decreasing the overall treatment time of irradiation by hypofractionation is thought to increase the efficacy. Extensive experience is available on the combination of daily-dose cisplatin in combination with hypofractionated radiotherapy. However, no data is available on the safety of cisplatin doublets and hypofractionated radiotherapy
Dose distribution calculations for proton therapy are more accurate when based on DE-CT than on SE-CT. It is however unclear what the quantitative benefit of repeated DE-CT calculations is for lung cancer patients.
The primary hypothesis is that disease-free survival is improved in patients undergoing resection for tumor thought to be stage I-III primary non-small cell lung cancer in patients with combined general-epidural anesthesia & analgesia as compared to patients receiving general anesthesia and postoperative patient-controlled opioid analgesia. Patients having surgery for resection of potentially curable lung cancer will be randomized to combined general and epidural anesthesia or general anesthesia with opioid analgesia. The primary outcome will be disease-free survival.
Though patients whose tumors harbor EGFR T790M mutation appear to benefit from rociletinib, there is a need to understand the molecular mechanisms that lead to primary and acquired resistance to rociletinib. The investigators propose to conduct a clinical trial of rociletinib of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC with activating EGFR mutations (including exon 19 deletion or L858R mutation), with or without EGFR T790M mutation. In these patients, pre-treatment and post-progression biopsy specimens will be subjected to genomic analysis to fully understand the clonal evolution and the molecular mechanisms underpinning treatment resistance.
The primary purpose of this research study is to see whether adding bavituximab (an investigational drug) to durvalumab will improve the results of the treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter, non-randomized, single arm, phase II study to assess efficacy and safety of the dabrafenib and trametinib combination in Japanese patients with any line, stage IV NSCLC harboring a confirmed BRAF V600E mutation. Patients will receive oral dabrafenib twice daily and oral trametinib once daily combination therapy. Patients may continue study treatment until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events, start of a new anti-cancer therapy, consent withdrawal, death, or end of the study. Patients who have met the criteria for disease progression (PD) according to RECIST v1.1 may continue to receive study treatment if the investigator believes the patient is receiving clinical benefit and the patient is willing to continue on study treatment. After discontinuation of study treatment, all patients will be followed for survival until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or end of study.
This study will look at the safety of the combination of three drugs (CDX-1401, Poly-ICL, and Pembrolizumab) and its effect on decreasing tumors. Pembrolizumab is an experimental cancer drug. CDX-1401 is a tumor specific antigen and Poly-ICL is a Toll-like receptor agonist tumor specific antigens which when combined with Pembrolizumab may increase the tumor response to this drug.
