Filter by:Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is an important treatment modality of patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC). However, PCI is also associated with several side effects, such as decline in memory and other cognitive functions. This provides the rationale to explore the clinical feasibility of hippocampal avoidance during WBRT. Previous studies have demonstrated the dosimetric capabilities of IMRT to conformally avoid the hippocampus without detriment to the radiation dose the remaining brain receives. The aims of this study is to evaluate the therapy efficacy and the safety profile of hippocampal-sparing whole-brain radiation therapy (HS-WBRT) for PCI in patients with LD-SCLC.
This protocol is a molecular screening protocol only. No drug intervention study will be included in this protocol. Based on the molecular profiling, patients may be eligible for drug intervention study of SUKSES trial. This procedure can be performed during or after the first-line treatment. DNA will be extracted from the archived or fresh tissue and blood. NGS-based cancer panel and Nanostring CNV will be tested with DNA from tissue and/or blood. Immunohistochemistry and FISH will be done by pathologists using archived or fresh tissue. Tumor tissues (fresh or archival) will be analyzed using NGS-based cancer panel, nanostring CNV, immunohistochemistry and/or FISH. Specific methods of each molecular tests will be defined with standard laboratory manual developed by pathologists.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether hypofractionated concurrent chemo-radiotherapy has the same efficiency as conventionally fractionated concurrent chemo-radiotherapy in Limited Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer.
Most patients with extensive stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who undergo chemotherapy, and prophylactic cranial irradiation, have persistent intrathoracic disease. A Dutch study recently proved that thoracic radiotherapy(TRT), using 30 Gy in 10 fractions of 3 Gy, could improve 2-year overall survival(OS) of this patient group compared with non-TRT group. But intrathoracic progression was still high, either with or without progression elsewhere, occurring in 43.7% in the TRT group. The ideal TRT regimen for ES-SCLC is undefined. Maybe higher dose can provide better local control(LC) and overall survival. In this study, the investigators propose to give an increased dose of TRT to determine whether higher dose will improve 2-year OS, LC and progression-free survival.
In this study, participants with multiple types of advanced (unresectable and/or metastatic) solid tumors who have progressed on standard of care therapy will be treated with pembrolizumab (MK-3475).
Open, non-interventional, prospective, multi-center clinical research platform with the main objective to assess molecular biomarker testing, treatment and outcome of patients with NSCLC or SCLC in Germany
To investigate the response of temozolomide versus prophylactic cranial radiotherapy in preventing brain metastases in completed or partial remission limited small cell lung cancer patients.
This is a retrospective observational, open label study to evaluate and prospectively validate in a blind manner the accuracy of predicting treatment outcomes by PrediCare in individual patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer, Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer & Colon Cancer under the treatment with the mono- and combination drug protocols for the 1st and 2nd line treatment, approved to the market as a Standard of Care
This study is aimed to evaluate the progression-free survival(PFS) and also survival of IP and EP (head-to-head) as the first line therapy for extensive stage small-cell lung cancer and to explore the reasonable first-line therapy for Chinese population. An open-label, multi-center study will be conducted with dynamic randomization of approximately 1:1 ratio with an estimation of 308 eligible participants.
Patients with extensive disease(ED) small cell lung cancer is still have a dismal prognosis, even though the first line chemotherapy showing about 70% response rate. Most of the patients will relapse with in 6 months after the chemotherapy and the following therapy such as second line chemotherapy have a very limited efficacy to these patients. Currently, there is no standard 3rd line therapy for the patients with ED small cell lung cancer(SCLC). As the investigators know, Nab-paclitaxel had showing promising efficacy in several cases report in the patients with SCLC, the aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel as a single agent in the SCLC patients with extensive disease and failed to first line/ second line chemotherapy.
