Combination of Atezolizumab With Dendritic Cell Vaccine in Patients With Lung Cancer
Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung CancerThis is a single-arm Phase Ib/II multicenter open-label study, with translational sub-study, of atezolizumab plus autologous dendritic cell vaccine as maintenance treatment in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). It is expected that three Spanish sites will include patients in this study. Patients will receive standard treatment with carboplatin and etoposide, plus atezolizumab for four 21-day cycles (induction phase), followed by a maintenance phase during which they will receive the dendritic cell vaccine (6 doses maximum) in combination with atezolizumab until they had unacceptable toxic effects, disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1, or no additional clinical benefit. The two primary endpoints are the investigator-assessed toxicity and the 6 months PFS, both in the intention-to-treat population. Secondary Outcome Measures include: Duration of clinical benefit (DCB), Overall survival (OS) and Overall response rate (ORR) The translational substudy will include: Analysis of tumor tissue samples will consist of PD-L1 Immunohistochemistry testing, RNA expression, Work Environmental Scale (WES) analysis, and flow cytometry in pretreatment fresh tumor tissue. The analysis will consist of T cell immunophenotyping, DC immunophenotyping, Tumoral RNA analysis by nanostring and tumoral cell-free DNA analysis by WES and cytokine analysis

Efficacy of SRT as Salvage Therapy in Patients With Brain Oligo-progression of EGFR-mutant Non-small...
Lung Cancer Stage IVAbout 20%-40% of NSCLC patients develop intracranial metastases, and most clinical studies suggest that the survival of lung cancer patients will be significantly shortened once they develop intracranial metastases. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) remain the standard first-line therapy for patients with advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC, including brain metastases(EGFR BMs). The survival rate of NSCLC patients with EGFR BMs was significantly improved compared with that of mutation-free patients. Third-generation EGFR-TKIs have unique advantages in the treatment of NSCLC BMs due to their improved blood-brain barrier permeability, and with the development of radiotherapy technology, stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) has also demonstrated its remarkable qualities of high efficiency and low toxicity in a limited number of intracranial metastases. The clinical mechanisms of resistance to third-generation EGFR-TKIs are far more complex than those of first-generation TKIs, and the treatment paradigm for disease progression including intracranial progression is challenging. It would be interesting to design prospective clinical studies of patients with EGFR BMs treated with the third-generation TKIs followed by salvage SRT for oligo-progression. Therefore, the investigator designed this prospective, phase II clinical study of intracranial oligo-progression applied with stereotactic radiotherapy as salvage therapy in EGFR BMs patients after failure of the third-generation EGFR-TKIs.
Olaparib in Patients With HRD Malignant Mesothelioma
MesotheliomaHomologous Recombination DeficiencyIn this study, researchers will give olaparib (a drug) to mesothelioma patients who have specific changes in their DNA (known as gene mutations). Researchers will give this drug to each patient on the study to find out if it will help the patient's tumor shrink or stop growing.
SEvoflurane for Sedation in ARds
Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeThis study evaluates whether a sedation with inhaled sevoflurane will decrease mortality and increase time off the ventilator at 28 days in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Half of the patients will receive inhaled sedation with sevoflurane and the other half will receive intravenous sedation with propofol.

Deflazacort vs. Prednisolone in Acute-stage ABPA
Allergic Bronchopulmonary AspergillosisOral glucocorticoids are currently the treatment of choice for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). They not only suppress the immune hyperfunction but are also anti-inflammatory. Unfortunately, numerous toxicities and adverse effects have been attributed to glucocorticoids related to both the average dose and cumulative duration of use. Deflazacort is a oxazoline steroid with demonstrated anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant effects. The novel structural characteristic of deflazacort is associated with substantial lack of sodium-retaining activity, lower interference with carbohydrate metabolism and calcium metabolism in comparison with older glucocorticoids such as prednisolone. The investigators hypothesize that the occurrence of side-effects, primarily weight gain will be lower with deflazacort. In this study, the investigators will compare the safety and efficacy of deflazacort in the treatment of acute-stage ABPA complicating asthma.
Early PReserved SPONtaneous Breathing Activity in Mechanically Ventilated Patients With ARDS (PReSPON)...
Respiratory Distress SyndromeAdultThe potential benefits of preserved early spontaneous breathing activity during mechanical ventilation are an increased aeration of dependent lung regions, less need for sedation, improved cardiac filling, and better matching of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion and thus oxygenation. Two small randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) reported less time on mechanical ventilation and in the intensive care unit (ICU) with preserved early spontaneous breathing activity during Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV). Debate exists over the net effects of preserved early spontaneous breathing activity with regard to ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI). In fact, by taking advantage of the potential improvement in oxygenation and recruitment at lower inflation pressures associated with APRV, physicians could possibly reduce potentially harmful levels of inspired oxygen, tidal volume, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). However, spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation has the potential to generate less positive pleural pressures that may add to the alveolar stretch applied from the ventilator and contribute to the risk of VALI. This has led to an ongoing controversy whether an initial period of controlled mechanical ventilation with deep sedation and neuromuscular blockade or preserved early spontaneous breathing activity during mechanical ventilation is advantageous with respect to outcomes in ARDS patients. A RCT investigating the effects of early spontaneous breathing activity on mortality in moderate to severe ARDS has been highly recommended in the research agenda for intensive care medicine. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of preserved spontaneous breathing activity during APRV in the early phase of moderate to severe ARDS.

Adjuvant Treatment With Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy Plus Concomitant Atezolizumab in Patients With...
Lung CancerNSCLCThe vast majority of patients with stage I (tumors ≥ 4cm), IIA, IIB (and select stage III) NSCLC are managed with upfront surgery, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. However, relapse rates remain high and are primarily due to distant, metastatic disease. Previous meta-analysis evaluating the use of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy demonstrate a similar impact on improved disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The role of checkpoint inhibitors has been proven to be effective in the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC, regardless of histology and PD-L1 expression. Results from trials evaluating the use of checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting for early stage disease are promising. However, there are no trials evaluating the role of concomitant chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors in the adjuvant setting. In addition, emerging data supports the use of ctDNA as a promising biomarker for early detection of minimal residual disease and have indicated that the presence of detectable ctDNA after surgery for localized lung cancer is correlated with a 90-100% chance for disease recurrence. Therefore, we propose this current study assessing concomitant chemotherapy plus Atezolizumab in the adjuvant setting for patients with stage I (tumors ≥ 4cm), IIA, IIB (and select stage III) NSCLC who have detectable ctDNA after surgery. The clearance of ctDNA will serve as a surrogate for long term DFS and OS in this patient population.
