Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find out whether ZEN003694 is an effective treatment for people with advanced squamous cell lung cancer with a mutation in the NSD3 gene. ZEN003694 is a type of drug called a BET inhibitor. Researchers think ZEN003694 may help here because the drug works by blocking a group of proteins called bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins, which may counteract the effect of NSD3 on tumor growth. Blocking these proteins may slow or stop the growth of the cancer.
APOLLO 11 main aim is to build a strong Italian long-lasting lung cancer network (in around 48 Italian centres) on real world data and translational research by creating a decentralized long-term national database (settle locally in each centre) and a "virtual" multilevel biobank in each centre. Besides, APOLLO 11 will take advantage of the translational research joint effort with the credo "unity is strength".
Lung cancer (CaP) is the leading cause of cancer related deaths on a global level. Early diagnosis is vital for survival and life quality of the affected patients, yet lung cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages, causing poor five-year survival rates. Exhaled breath particles (EBP) and particle flow rate (PFR) collected by the particles in exhaled air (PExA) system is a safe and easily reproducible non-invasive method for gaining insight into the molecular environment of the distal airways. EBP and PFR have been found useful in detection of other airway diseases such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). It has been shown that particles found in EBP reflect the general composition of respiratory tract lining fluid (RTLF) and that biomarkers found in EBP correlate to proteins that can be found in both bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and plasma. Particle flow rate (PFR) has been found to differ between patients with lung cancer compared to control patients. In the present study the investigators aim to collect EBP samples and measure PFR from patients with primary lung cancer and from control patients. EBPs are collected for molecular analysis. The investigators aim to identify biomarkers for diagnosing, predicting prognosis of and evaluating surgical treatment of non small cell lung cancer.
To evaluate the predictive value of ctDNA in response, relapse for patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors or targeted therapy for ALK, ROS1, MET ex14 skipping.
This is a multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective study (with two prospective cohorts), including previously treated patients with melanoma, squamous cell lung cancer in the late stages (inoperable or metastatic) and Hodgkin disease at any stages. The duration of the follow-up will be 12-60 months. Data from medical records will be retrospectively collected at different points in time. The first data extraction will consist of collecting data from the initial level (before treatment with immune checkpoints inhibitors (anti-PD1 / PDl1) before the end of the recruitment period for this study (up to 3 years of follow-up). Two additional annual data collections are planned for display additional follow-up and data for patients who will survive.
Non-small-cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer death in Western Countries. Approximately 85% of lung cancers are of the non-small-cell type (NSCLC), with 25-30% of NSCLC being squamous histology type. Unlike nonsquamous NSCLC, squamous NSCLC rarely harbors epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations for which there are directed therapies, and until the recent approval of immunotherapies for pretreated squamous NSCLC, a limited number of traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs have been FDA-approved for use in the treatment of advanced and metastatic squamous NSCLC. A platinum-based combination chemotherapy regimen has been the standard first-line treatment for all NSCLC. Carboplatin is frequently substituted for cisplatin for patients who have poor renal function or who experience toxicities from cisplatin (most notably, nausea and vomiting). Taxanes, especially paclitaxel, or vinorelbine or gemcitabine, commonly complete the standard two-drug backbone of platinum-based chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of NSCLC, with platin-gemcitabine as the most commonly used regimen in Europe in patients with squamous-histology. A recent press release announced that pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy produced higher response rate when compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with squamous-cell lung cancer. Nevertheless, no data on Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) are available. Therefore, considering the lack of data in patients with squamous histology and the lack of information about efficacy of combinations of immune-checkpoints inhibitors versus immune-checkpoint inhibitor plus chemotherapy, there is a strong rationale for conducting a study assessing efficacy of such strategies in patients with advanced, metastatic squamous-cell lung cancer.
The third/fourth generation of CAR-T cells that target GPC3 (GPC3-CART cell) and/or soluble TGFβ (GPC3/TGFβ-CART )have been constructed and their anti-HCC function has been verified by multiple in vitro and in vivo studies. Clinical studies will be performed to test the anti-cancer function by the GPC3/TGFβ-CAR-T cells in human HCC patients with GPC3 expression. In this phase I study, the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of the GPC3/TGFβ-CAR-T cell immunotherapy on human will firstly be tested.
This is a Phase II, multicentre, open-label, randomized, and controlled study, evaluating the efficacy and safety of combined modularized treatment of treosulfan, pioglitazone and clarithromycin in patients with with squamous and non- squamous cell lung cancer, respectively after platin failure.
To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of patients with inoperable squamous cell lung cancer treated with pemetrexed plus cisplatin with concurrent radiation therapy followed by docetaxel consolidation. An exploratory biomarker analysis in blood and tumor samples is also planned.
The purpose of this study is to compare early-stage peripheral non-small cell lung cancer lobectomy and sub-lobectomy surgery to evaluate if sub-lobectomy is as feasible and effective for the treatment of early-stage (diameter ≤2cm) peripheral non-small cell lung cancer as lobectomy.
