NCT02353741
This single-arm phase II study aims to study the efficacy of a possible first line treatment that combines epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) with concurrent thoracic radiation therapy for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with active EGFR mutation, as well as assessing PFS, OS, tumor response, etc. to verify that this new combinational therapy can benefit short-term and long-term survival of the patients with advanced NSCLC.
NCT02640326
It is common practice to insert a Foley catheter into the bladder to drain urine during and after a lung resection. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the potential risks associated with this catheterization, particularly with regard to infection. As thoracic surgery adopts minimally invasive surgical techniques, the need for urinary catheterization during surgery is being questioned since these less invasive surgeries are known to result in less post-operative acute pain, shorter length of stay, and other outcomes that tend to decrease overall anesthetic needs for this patient population. Thus, there is a need to investigate whether patients who have had a minimally invasive lung resection truly need the Foley catheter at all. This will be achieved by assigning patients to either an experimental no-catheter group or the standard of care routine urinary catheter group to determine if patients with no catheter experience different rates of complications. This pilot study will primarily determine if there is a difference in post operative urinary complications between the groups. It is hoped that this study will definitively determine whether a Foley urine catheter is a necessary procedure in the course of a minimally invasive lung resection.
