Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Tract (Lung and Bronchial) Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to see if adding pirfenidone to atezolizumab will increase anti tumor activity and reduce treatment resistance in stage 4 and recurrent non- small cell lung cancer participants.

For metastatic/advanced NSCLC patients who do not have targetable mutations, either immunotherapy targeting the programmed death-1 and its ligand (PD-1/L1) pathway alone or in combination with platinum doublet chemotherapy is now a standard of care. However, still about half of the patients do not benefit due to treatment resistance. It is therefore critically important to find novel therapies and combinations to benefit patients who have failed or are intolerant to 1st line immunotherapy. This study hypothesizes that ipatasertib in combination with taxane (e.g. docetaxel) can be an effective strategy. Ipatasertib is a novel adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive inhibitor that has demonstrated robust and selective targeting of protein kinase B (PKB, also known as AKT) in cancer patients. Importantly, evidence from preclinical studies has demonstrated that AKT inhibitors (e.g. ipatasertib) can enhance the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy as well as immunotherapy via modulating Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3'K)-AKT activity.

The aim of the study is to investigate the potential effects of face-to-face supervised tele-rehabilitation to home exercise program on walking speed, handgrip strength, muscle endurance, quality of life, physical activity level and perceived respiratory disability in COVID-19 patients who hospitalized in ICU due to ARDS and discharged from hospital.

This is an open-label, non-randomised, phase II, multi-centre clinical trial 26 patients will be enrolled in this trial to evaluate the major pathologic response in patients with neoadjuvant treatment with Carboplatin Pemetrexed Bevacizumab plus Atezolizumab in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma locally advanced mutated in EGFR

This is a prospective, randomized, single-center, open-label controlled trial, designed to compare the efficacy of two ventilation strategies (Low Tidal Volume and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) based on the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Network low PEEP-fraction of inspired oxygen inspired oxygen fraction (FIO2) Table versus Low Driving Pressure and PEEP guided by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) in reducing daily lung injury score in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by COVID-19. The two strategies incorporate different prioritizations of clinical variables. The PEEP-FIO2 table strategy aims to reduce lung overdistension, even if it requires tolerating worse gas exchange. EIT-guided strategy prioritizes mechanical stress protection, avoiding alveolar overdistension and collapse.

To determine the efficacy of combined afatinib and prednisone in previously treated advanced squamous NSCLC

This study will examine the safety and potential effectiveness of poly-ICLC directly injected into malignant pleural mesothelioma at the time of biopsy up to 21 days prior to the cancer being removed by the surgeon

This phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of BAY 1895344 in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with solid tumors or urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). BAY 1895344 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cisplatin and gemcitabine are chemotherapy drugs that stop the growth of tumor cells by killing the cells. Combining BAY 1895344 with chemotherapy treatment (cisplatin, or cisplatin and gemcitabine) may be effective for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including urothelial cancer.

A randomized phase II clinical trial of SBRT and systemic pembrolizumab with or without intratumoral avelumab/ipilimumab plus CD1c (BDCA-1)+/CD141 (BDCA-3)+ myeloid dendritic cells in solid tumors.

The purpose of the trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1701 combined with fluzopar as a first-line treatment maintenance therapy for advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma. Patients with advanced or metastatic (stage IV) lung squamous cell carcinoma have not received systemic chemotherapy and have measurable lesions (RECIST 1.1) ECOG PS 0-1. The patient received SHR1701 +fluzoparib
