Filter by: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.
This is a phase III, randomized, double-blinded, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the efficiency and safety of AK105 (Anti-PD1 antibody) plus paclitaxel and carboplatin vs placebo plus paclitaxel and carboplatin as First-line Therapy in patients with metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
In the FIND trial, Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) patients with Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) genetic alteration will be treated with the selective FGFR1-4 inhibitor erdafitinib. Archival samples, fresh frozen tumor samples and blood for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) will be collected before treatment. Patients will be treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In case of progression, fresh frozen tumor biopsies and ctDNA analyses will be performed to assess resistance mechanisms. The primary objective of the trial is to analyze the efficacy of erdafitinib in NSCLC patients with FGFR genetic alterations. NSCLC patient number will be based on a statistical hypothesis aiming at increasing the response rate comparing to chemotherapy/immunotherapy after standard treatment.
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.
This will be a single-arm study to primarily evaluate the feasibility of administering necitumumab added to gemcitabine and cisplatin as neoadjuvant treatment in treatment-naïve patients with stage IB (tumor size >4cm), II or IIIA squamous NSCLC. Feasibility will be assessed by the proportion of patients able to proceed to surgery after administering necitumumab in the neoadjuvant setting. These patients would otherwise be offered standard adjuvant chemotherapy (without necitumumab) for squamous cell lung cancer. Determination of surgical resectability will be reviewed at a multidisciplinary thoracic tumor board, attended by surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, and pathology.
PEARL is a phase III multicentre 2:1 randomised controlled trial, with an incorporated phase II (pilot) component. All patients consented/registered onto the trial will have an autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) to check for the presence of high grade lesions (HGLs) in the lung, as verified by tissue biopsy. Only patients with one or more histologically confirmed lung HGL will be randomised to receive either photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment with surveillance (=intervention), or surveillance alone (=control). The overall aim of the phase II pilot is to demonstrate a >20% response in the PDT group (at least 3 out of 21 PDT patients), compared to a minimum response of 5%. This will be used as an efficacy signal to determine whether the trial will continue into phase III. Response will be measured by regression of high grade lesions (HGLs) to either low grade lesions (LGLs), or to normal epithelium at 6 months post treatment (blind assessment). The overall aim of the phase III is to show that the time period over which HGLs progress to invasive lung cancer is significantly longer when treated with PDT compared to surveillance alone.
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.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and/or bad) Pirfenidone combined with standard first-line chemotherapy will have on you and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The investigational drug Pirfenidone is being combined with standard chemotherapy in participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Pirfenidone is approved to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) but it isn't currently approved to treat non-small cell lung cancer.
To evaluate the concordance of sensitizing mutations detected between paired plasma and tissue samples; the correlation between the clonal status of sensitizing mutations and targeted therapy response; and the prognostic impact of the relative abundance of sensitizing / resistance mutations.
This is a randomized phase II study assessing the activity of single agent chemotherapy combined with nivolumab (Arm A) compared to single agent chemotherapy alone (Arm B) in squamous or non-squamous NSCLC subjects with primary resistance to prior PD-1 or PDL-1 inhibitor. The single agent chemotherapy chosen is at the discretion of the site investigator and may include pemetrexed, gemcitabine or taxotere. Institutional standards should be used for administration of the single agent chemotherapy. For both treatment arms, 21 days equals 1 cycle of therapy and subjects will be eligible to continue treatment until progressive disease by RECIST v1.1 or unacceptable toxicity. Upon registration, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either treatment with single agent chemotherapy or single agent chemotherapy in combination with nivolumab. Randomization is un-blinded and open-label; therefore there will be no placebo treatment for subjects randomized to single agent chemotherapy
