Filter by:A prospective observational study to determine the prognostic value of the timing of 50% reduction in metabolic activity (T50) during CCRT for NSCLC for treatment outcome (PFS).
The recent development of therapies targeting specific biomarkers mutations is changing the standards of care and prognosis of patients with advanced NSCLC, but very few data are currently available on those emerging biomarkers. In addition, the correlation of biomarkers with patients' clinical outcomes in a standard of care setting is poorly understood. This study aims to address that need.
EUCROSS is a phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crizotinib in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung harbouring ROS1 translocations. Patients will be treated with 250mg crizotinib bid until progression or intolerable toxicity.
The investigators propose to study the safety and efficacy of the combination of Carboplatin plus Gemcitabine in a Phase I/II trial of elderly subjects with non-small cell lung cancer.
This phase Ib study will investigate dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of afatinib and ruxolitinib combination therapy, based on the preclinical data that inhibition of IL-6R/JAK1 signal transmission pathway will increase sensitivity to afatinib.
This is a phase Ib single arm, open-label, multiple dose, dose escalating, safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of the combination of PF-05212384 with paclitaxel and carboplatin. The study will be conducted in adult patients with advanced breast, NSCLC, ovarian or endometrial, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and Head and Neck (HNSCC) cancer for whom there is an indication to the use of paclitaxel and carboplatin. Successive cohorts of patients will receive escalating doses of PF-05212384 in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin, starting at a dose level determined to be the 60% of single agent MTD. The study will consist of two parts: the dose finding part (Part 1) and the expansion part (Part 2). During Part 1 patients with breast, NSCLC, ovary and endometrial, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and Head and Neck (HNSCC) cancer will be enrolled. During Part 2, only patients with ovarian cancer will be enrolled. In Part 1, a 3+3 design is employed. Once the MTD of the combination is defined in Part 1, Part 2 is performed for a better definition of the safety profile, of the potential antitumor activity and of the pharmacodynamic effects of the combination; it will be conducted in at least 12 patients with ovarian cancer. Approximately 40 patients are expected to be enrolled in the study overall.
Patients with lung cancer may develop a second primary tumor or recurrent disease after previous radiotherapy. Surgical salvage therapy is the mainstay of therapeutic options. However, in case of irresectable disease, re-irradiation should be considered. Also in the postoperative setting, re-irradiation is considered after surgical salvage in case of features in the pathology specimen indicating a high risk for subsequent recurrence. However after re-irradiation, there is a high risk of 43% grade 3 (late) toxicity at 5 years (including possible fatal complications) and a relatively low chance of locoregional control of 50% at 5 years. One out of three patients survives re-irradiation without recurrence and severe complications. Improvements in both the risk of radiation-induced complications and the oncological outcome are thus warranted. Compared to conventional radiotherapy with photons (CRT), particle therapy (PT) has the potential to inflict maximum damage on tumors with minimum collateral damage to neighboring healthy tissue. Given that the cost of particle therapy (PT) is considerably higher than that of conventional radiotherapy (RT) with photons, it is necessary to establish whether these higher costs are worthwhile in light of the expected advantages. Thus, clear evidence of the situations in which PT outperforms conventional photon treatment is needed. Publications on this topic are rare. The only recent publication has analyzed the results of 37 NSCLC patients of whom 9 were re-irradiated with at least 50 Gy using helical tomotherapy [Kruser in press]. We propose an in silico trial to investigate to what extend proton and 12C-ion therapy decrease the amount of irradiated normal tissue in lung cancer patients treated with radiotherapy after an initial radiotherapy treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine if MEDI4736 will be adequately tolerated in combination with tremelimumab in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
To determine the efficacy of preemptive local ablative therapy in NSCLC patients with activating EGFR mutation who have oligometastatic residual metabolic-active disease after first-line EGFR TKI, as measured by PFS rate at 1 year from the trial enrollment.
As one of the few centers, MAASTRO also aggressively re-treats patients with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Even after primary radical treatment to high doses, re-irradiation (with concurrent chemotherapy) is also given in curative intent, thus again using high doses of radiation. Publications on high-dose re-irradiation of lung cancer patients are scarce, and outcome and toxicity for patients treated in MAASTRO are unknown at present. This study will provide knowledge on benefit and risks of such a therapeutic approach.
