Filter by:This phase II trial tests the effectiveness and safety of artificial intelligence (AI) to determine dose recommendation during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) planning in patients with primary lung cancer or tumors that has spread from another primary site to the lung (metastatic). SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Even with the high precision of SBRT, disease persistence or reappearance (local recurrence) can still occur, which could be attributed to the radiation dose. AI has been used in other areas of healthcare to automate and improve various aspects of medical science. Because the relationship of dose and local recurrence indicates that dose prescriptions matter, decision support systems to help guide dose based on personalized prediction AI algorithms could better assist providers in prescribing the radiation dose of lung stereotactic body radiation therapy treatment.
This clinical trial compares the effect of pulmonary vein-first surgical technique to pulmonary artery-first surgical technique in decreasing circulating tumor cell deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) in patients with stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer. Pulmonary vein first and pulmonary artery first surgical techniques are standard surgical techniques for the division of the blood vessels during lung resection surgery. Pulmonary vein-first surgical technique may reduce the risk of shedding tumor cells during surgery and influence long term overall survival.
This clinical trial investigates the acceptability of electronic cigarettes (JUUL) for smoking cessation (quitting smoking) and the reduction of surgery-related complications in patients with newly diagnosed head, neck, or lung cancer. Smoking before surgery is associated with increased risk of complications during and after surgery. Electronic cigarettes are a type of special product that gives small, steady doses of nicotine to help stop cravings and relieve symptoms that occur when a person is trying to quit smoking. Stopping cigarette smoking before surgery may reduce the risk of complications during and after surgery in patients with head, neck, or lung cancer.
This phase II trial tests whether oral iloprost works in preventing lung cancer (chemoprevention) in former smokers. Oral iloprost has previously been shown to reduce abnormal lung cells in former smokers, suggesting a clinically significant impact on lung cancer risk. The use of oral iloprost may help keep cancer from forming and reduce abnormal cells in the lung in order to lower the risk of developing lung cancer in former smokers.
This clinical trial studies the effect of a quality of life intervention on decision-making in patients with early-stage lung cancer who are undergoing standard of care surgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Providing quality of life outcome data to patients deciding between surgery and SBRT may help decrease decision regret and increase patient satisfaction with their care.
This clinical trial develops and tests a model of family caregiver education focused on the role of underserved family caregivers as providers of complex care in the home. Cancer patients have symptoms from their cancer or treatment and are then supported by family caregivers at home with tasks requiring technical skill. Family caregivers are often asked to provide complex care whether it involves decisions about managing symptoms or providing technical care for ports/pumps, tubes, or devices. Family caregivers often are not given enough information on how to provide care for patients at home needing complex care. The results from this study may help researchers refine and improve the intervention for caregivers through future research for caregivers on a much larger scale.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of sapanisertib and nivolumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage I-IV non-small cell lung cancer whose disease got worse on previous PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. Sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving sapanisertib and nivolumab may help to control the disease.
This phase II trial studies the use of Ion robotic bronchoscope with a mobile computed tomography (CT) scanner to biopsy tumors and inject a fluorescent dye called indocyanine green to mark the tumor during surgery in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer or cancer that has spread to the lung (lung metastases). Sometimes small tumors or those that are not on the surface of the lung can be challenging to remove without making larger incisions. Injecting the dye, may help doctors see the tumor more easily, which may allow for smaller incisions and by being able to see the tumor, doctors may be better able to decide where to make the incisions in order to get all of the tumor out.
This clinical trial refines and tests the effect of a decision aid in improving decision-making in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Patients with cancer want to be informed about their diagnoses, treatment procedures and goals of treatment. They also seek active roles in decision-making. Shared decision-making (SDM) is the process of clinician and patient jointly participating in a health decision after discussing the options, benefits and harms, and considering the patient's values, preferences, and circumstances. SDM can improve patient involvement in decision making, satisfaction, health care quality, and quality of life. Decision aids can improve patient knowledge, create more realistic outcome expectations; reduce decisional conflict, distress, depression and uncertainty; and improve physician-patient communication and quality of life, compared with no decision aid. This trial's main aim is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a decision aid in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
This is a non-significant risk, double-blinded, randomized, registrational study to compare the effectiveness of two digital, software only, medical devices (SaMD) (attune™ and cerena™) in reducing cancer-related anxiety and depression symptoms when used adjunctively with multidisciplinary (medical, psychosocial) oncology usual care regimens for up to 10 weeks. Study population will consist of up to 553 participants with stage I-III breast cancer or stage I-III NSCLC. The primary endpoint is percent improvement in anxiety symptoms at Week 10 and secondary endpoints of percent improvement in depressive symptoms will be assessed at Week 12. An interim analysis for efficacy and futility will be conducted once 236 participants have completed the study.
