NCT06800339
The purpose of this research study is to find out if adding radiation prior to chemoimmunotherapy and surgery is effective for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have the potential for surgery. Standard of Care Chemoimmunotherapy: For this study, standard of care chemotherapy will be used. This means this is the type of chemotherapy that is normal for your cancer. In addition to the chemotherapy, you will also receive the immunotherapy drug, nivolumab. This will be administered intravenously once every 3 weeks for up to 3 cycles (i.e. 9 weeks of total systemic therapy), prior to surgical resection assessment. This combination is made up of the chemotherapy drugs carboplatin or cisplatin along with pemetrexed, paclitaxel or gemcitabine, and the immunotherapy drug is nivolumab. The chemotherapy is used to kill cancer cells, and the immunotherapy enables your immune system to attack cancer cells. Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) SBRT is when radiation is delivered at higher doses over a smaller period of time. For this study, you will receive three doses of radiation delivered every other day, for three total days. The final dose of radiation will happen within 7 days of starting chemoimmunotherapy. You will be followed for up to 100 days following your last chemoimmunotherapy dose to monitor for potential side effects. Following this you will continue with your standard follow up with your doctor. During the standard follow-up time, study staff will review your charts to see if there have been any new updates with your cancer following treatment so they can tell how this treatment affects how long patients live and whether it helps avoid recurrence of the cancer.
NCT03867175
This phase III trial studies immunotherapy and stereotactic body radiation therapy to see how well it works compared with immunotherapy alone after first-line systemic therapy (therapy that goes throughout the body) in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving immunotherapy with stereotactic body radiation therapy may work better than immunotherapy alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT04533451
This trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has come back (recurrent) and has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy may shrink the tumor in older patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT06326957
Background: Some health conditions make breathing difficult and uncomfortable. When this happens every day, it is called chronic breathlessness. Over 3 million people living with heart and lung disease have chronic breathlessness in the UK. Breathlessness is very difficult for patients themselves and their families, resulting in disability and feelings of fear, distress, and isolation. Due a to lack of supportive breathlessness services many patients frequently attend hospital Accident and Emergency (A\&E) departments seeking help. Given the on-going challenges faced by the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom, such as long waiting times, staff shortages, increased demand for services because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need to develop new ways to support those living with chronic breathlessness. One potential solution is to offer support online, as it is estimated that in the UK, 7 out of every 10 people with chronic breathlessness are internet users. With the help of patients and NIHR funding the research team lead by Dr Charles Reilly, developed an online breathlessness supportive website called SELF-BREATHE. SELF-BREATHE provides information and self-management tools such as breathing exercises, that patients can do at home themselves. SELF-BREATHE has been tested as part of its development. SELF-BREATHE is acceptable and valued by patients. But what is unknown is whether SELF-BREATHE improves patients' breathlessness and their life? This is the question this research seeks to answer. Aims 1. To test if using SELF-BREATHE for six-weeks improves patients' breathlessness, their quality of life and whether SELF-BREATHE should be offered within the NHS 2. To see if patients opt to continue to use SELF-BREATHE after six-weeks and what benefits this may have for patients. Methods The research team are undertaking a randomised controlled trial. For this, 246 people living with chronic breathlessness will be recruited in to this study. Each person will be randomly chosen by a computer to continue with their usual care or their usual care plus access to SELF-BREATHE. All study participants will complete questionnaires at the start of the study, thereafter at seven and twelve weeks after randomisation. These questionnaires will ask patients about 1) their breathlessness and its effect on their life and 2) planned and unplanned hospital visits. At the end of the study, we will compare answers to these questionnaires between the two groups at seven and 12 weeks. This will tell if SELF-BREATHE improved patients' breathlessness and reduced their need for unplanned hospital visits e.g., A\&E attendances due to breathlessness.
NCT04027647
This is a multi-national, multi-centre, single-arm, open-label, Phase 2 clinical study of the efficacy and safety of first-line treatment with dacomitinib, with or without dose titration, in subjects with newly diagnosed stage IIIB/IIIC/IV or recurrent EGFR-mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). National Cancer Centre Singapore is the lead sponsor acting in a coordinating capacity and the rest of the participating sites are sponsors of their own individual sites.
NCT04087473
The investigators plan to understand a comprehensive molecular profiling via the plasma, with the primary aim of using this form on analysis to guide subsequent treatment selection. This study will provide a better understanding of ALK resistance in the treatment of Asian lung cancers and allow for improved clinical outcomes by 'matching' the secondary mutations to an ALK inhibitor which would allow for the greatest coverage ultimately leading to lasting duration of response.
NCT07015892
This is a phase III clinical trial that aims to evaluate whether increasing the dose of radiotherapy given twice a day can improve treatment outcomes in patients with localized small cell lung cancer (SCLC). All patients will receive standard chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide and will be randomly assigned to one of three radiotherapy regimens. The main objective is to determine whether this intensified radiotherapy improves progression-free survival and overall survival. The study will also compare two different dose escalation strategies and assess treatment side effects and patients' quality of life. This research may help identify a more effective treatment approach for patients with limited-stage SCLC and could contribute to improving long-term survival in this aggressive type of cancer
NCT02324296
ABSTRACT Objectives Combination chemotherapy is very active in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), although no improvement in overall survival (OS) has been done in the last 25 years , with Cisplatin-Etoposide (PE) still considered the world-wide standard, with an average median survival of about 7-8 months in patients with extended disease (ED). In 1995, a randomized trial of the Hoosier Group in 171 ED patients showed a significant advantage in overall survival in patients treated with PEI (Cisplatin, Etoposide and Ifosfamide), compared to PE. Despite that, PEI regimen has not become a commonly used regimen in SCLC. Materials and Methods Here we present a series of 46 consecutive patients (30 males and 16 females) with SCLC that were treated at our Institution with PEI regimen: Cisplatin 20mg/m2, Etoposide 75mg/m2 and Ifosfamide 1200mg/m2, day 1 to 4, every 3 weeks. Patients received a total of 219 cycles of chemotherapy, with a mean of 4,7 cycles per patient. Median age was 63 (range 59-70); performance status (PS) was 0 in 29 patients (63%), 1 in 13 patients (28%) and 2 in 4 patients (9%).
NCT03094169
Approximately 90 male and female patients with documented solid tumor malignancies of epithelial origin that are locally advanced or metastatic, and either refractory to standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy is available, will be entered into this Phase 1a/2a, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation, cohort study of AVID100. Phase 2a will include evaluation of patient with EGFR-overexpressing squamous histology non-small cell lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, and triple negative breast cancer
NCT00597636
The purpose of this study is to help us better understand the cellular changes that may lead to the development of lung cancer. We want to compare people who have never smoked and yet have been diagnosed with lung cancer to never smokers who have not developed lung cancer. We hope to use the information obtained in this study as the basis for future studies and will not regard the results from this study as final.
NCT01130285
The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of a multi-gene Lung Cancer Risk Test (LCRT). In the process, the investigators will establish a bank of NBEC samples and corresponding blood samples from individuals demographically at increased risk for lung cancer.
NCT06929936
This study is a prospective, single arm phase II study aimed at patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer undergoing second-line or beyond treatment. The aim is to evaluate the bone marrow protective effect of trilaciclib before docetaxel chemotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
NCT07005999
What is this study about? This clinical trial aims to compare two treatments for high-risk lung nodules or early-stage lung cancer: interventional ablation (a minimally invasive procedure that destroys tumors with heat or cold) and surgical resection (surgery to remove the tumor). The goal is to determine if ablation is as safe and effective as surgery while preserving more lung function. Why is this important? Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Early detection improves survival, but surgery can damage lung function. Ablation (e.g., microwave, cryotherapy) is less invasive than surgery and may offer similar outcomes with faster recovery. However, more evidence is needed to confirm its role in early-stage disease.
NCT05078047
Immunotherapy (IO), such as treatment with anti-PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 inhibitors, is a rapidly expanding treatment for multiple metastatic cancers with improved survival for certain cancers. However, the optimal duration of immunotherapies is currently unknown. Our hypothesis is that a reduced dose intensity of IO could be as effective as the current standard treatment in term of prevention of the disease progression. If proved right, this study will have a positive medico-economic impact by reduction of the costs associated with the treatment and the toxicity, and an increase of the patients' quality of life.
NCT04358237
This is a prospective, open-label, uncontrolled and multicenter phase I/II study of PM01183 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The study will be divided into two stages: * A dose-ranging phase I stage with escalating doses of PM01183 in combination with a fixed dose of pembrolizumab, followed by: * A non-randomized phase II stage as an expansion study at the recommended dose (RD) determined during the phase I stage. The phase I stage will focus on the selection of the RD based on safety/tolerability, while the phase II stage will assess the overall response rate (ORR) and clinical response.
NCT06945523
Lung cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world, of which 80%-85% are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Most patients with NSCLC are at the advanced stage of diagnosis and have a poor prognosis. The 5-year survival rate of stage III patients is about 15%, the 5-year survival rate of stage IV patients is less than 5%, and the median survival time is only 7 months. CEACAM5 (CEA), also known as CD66e, is a classic tumor marker that has been used as a marker for many types of tumors for 50 years. It is mainly expressed in lung cancer, esophageal cancer, bile duct cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and other tumor types. In previous CAR-T-related clinical trials targeting CEA, the research team found that CAR-T cell preparations had a certain killing effect on CEA positive tumor cells. At the same time, CAR-T cell preparations cannot be sustained for a long time in the body, which is also a key factor restricting the anti-tumor effect of CAR-T cells in the body. To solve this problem, the killing ability and survival ability of CAR-T cell preparations on tumor cells in vitro and in vivo were improved by optimizing CAR structure and improving culture mode.

NCT06943820
This is an open, multicenter phase Ib/II clinical study. The goal of this study is to confirm the Phase II recommended dose (RP2D) of AK129 combinations for advanced solid tumors and evaluate the safety and efficacy of AK129 combinations for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC), and other advanced solid tumors.
NCT06993896
The main goal of this trial is to describe the pattern of physical activity in patients with non-small cell lung cancer during chemo- and/or immunotherapy, to evaluate potential predictors of those patterns and to assess potential correlations with patient reported outcomes (pain-, distress-, and fatigue scores). To reach this goal, this trial will be first trial in which the mean number of steps per week performed at baseline and during each week of chemo- and or immunotherapy will be collected in a standardized prospective way. The trial is exploratory in nature with the aim to generate scientific hypotheses to be investigated in future clinical trials.
NCT06598527
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) combined with immunochemotherapy versus neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Dose SBRT combined with immunochemotherapy improve event-free survival? Is SBRT combined with immunochemotherapy safe enough? Participants will: Receive neoadjuvant SBRT combined with immunochemotherapy or neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy. Tumor assessment will be performed prior to surgery. Surgery will be performed within 4 to 6 weeks (+ 7 days) after completion of the last cycle of immunochemotherapy.
