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

Investigators intend to combine low-dose hypersensitivity with high-dose immunopotentiation effect, and use super-hyperfractionation pulse radiotherapy, which is expected to achieve the effect of in situ vaccine that can enhance tumor killing, protect normal tissues, reduce immune cell damage and enhance tumor immunogenicity at the same time, and play a stronger immunopotentiation effect in combined immunotherapy. Thereby inducing a stronger abscopal effect of radiotherapy.

The major goal of this study is to evaluate a new type of cell transplantation therapy for individuals with hereditary PAP, study a new treatment that may be useful for treatment of other diseases, and research mechanisms that drive the development and function of lung macrophages.

PM8002 is a bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 and VEGF. This is a phase II/III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PM8002 in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin in patients with EGFR-mutant locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have failed to EGFR-TKI treatment.

This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of YL202 conducted in the United States and China. The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of YL202 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated NSCLC or hormone receptor (HR)-positive and HER2-negative BC, which have been heavily treated by standard treatment.

BEV-III/2022 is a double-blind randomized multicenter clinical trial comparing efficacy of bevacizumab (manufactured by Mabscale, LLC) and paclitaxel plus carboplatin to Avastin® and paclitaxel plus carboplatin in first-line treatment for patients with advanced (unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic) non-squamous NSCLC. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate equivalence of efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (manufactured by Mabscale, LLC) to Avastin®. Study includes pharmacokinetics assessment.

Asthma is a common pathology, with a prevalence of 6 to 8% and more than 4 million patients in France. Its management is based on different therapeutic axes. Their use is very dependent on disease control, with therapeutic escalation, from treatment on demand to a combination of them at high dosage, according to the severe asthma's phenotype. Despite these effective therapeutic tools, there is a lack of control of the disease in the vast majority of cases, affecting at least 60% of asthmatics. Among the factors associated with lack of control, non-compliance with inhaled therapies is frequent and requires to be systematically assessed in the absence of control. Its evaluation by definition is complex and variously appreciated, fluctuating from 40 to 80%. The means proposed for evaluating it involve doctor/patient interviews, evaluation of the therapeutic response, questionnaires, evaluation of drug consumption (evaluation of number of empty boxes, integrated electronic device, withdrawal of drugs from pharmacies, etc). Asthma control is commonly evaluated using the validated Asthma Control Test score, in clinical practice and/or in research fields. An ACT score greater than 20 indicates well-controlled asthma. In addition, a change of at least 3 points is likely to indicate a clinically meaningful change in asthma control (Minimally Clinical Important Difference) in an individual patient over time and a change of 4 points or more further reduces the risk that the change is due to measurement error. In the context of severe eosinophilic asthma, Mepolizumab has shown its benefit in controlling asthma, reducing the number of exacerbations and its ability to decrease the use of oral corticosteroids (MENSA, SIRIUS). Mepolizumab is now available in 2 new "ready-to-use" forms: a pre-filled syringe and an auto-injector pen. Both systems can be administered at home either by a nurse or by the patient himself (self-administration). The choice is left to the discretion of the prescribing pulmonologist. These new possibilities of Mepolizumab administration offer greater freedom to the patient, possibly allowing him to empower himself by carrying out his own treatment, without constraint and without being dependent on the availability of a nurse or another healthcare professional qualified to inject Mepolizumab. These new methods of Mepolizumab self- administration also open the field to therapeutic non-compliance, a new problem in the field of biotherapies used for the treatment of severe asthma. The investigator hypothesize a potential therapeutic non-compliance associated with the new method of administration of Mepolizumab, with self-injection by the patient, without the assistance of a nurse. To assess this problem, the investigator propose to compare in a therapeutic trial Mepolizumab administered by pre-filled syringe by a home nurse every month versus Mepolizumab self-administered by auto-injector pen by the patient every month.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of RO7616789. The study will have 3 parts: Dose Escalation (Parts 1 and 2) and Dose Expansion (Part 3). Participants with advanced stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) will be enrolled in the study.

This is a first in human phase 1 study of AG01 an anti-Progranulin/Glycoprotein88 (PGRN/GP88) antibody in patients with advanced solid tumors. AG01 is a recombinant monoclonal antibody expressed in a CHO production cell line. The antibody AG01 binds to human PGRN/GP88, expressed on cancer cells. This study will have a dose escalation portion (1A) to evaluate maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or maximum administered dose (MAD), the safety and tolerability of AG01treatment before the dose expansion portion (1B) of the study is initiated. The dose escalation portion of this study (1A) will also be used to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AG01 antibody to be evaluated in the cohort expansion portion (1B).

Objectives: To evaluate pressure pain thresholds, fatigue scales, quality of life and sleep quality, in women with Persistent Covid (PC), pre- and post-treatment using electrotherapy and in a placebo group of PC patients. Relevance: This trial can be a tool for patients affected by CP who present pain and fatigue problems, insomnia or signs of imbalance of their Autonomic Nervous System. It aims to improve their rest and recovery for a better quality of life that allows them to recover their Activities of Daily Living. We have designed the study with a commitment to placebo group treatment after completion, if positive results are obtained. A 6-month and 1-year follow-up will be scheduled. Secondary objectives: To analyze the effects on quality of life, fatigue and sleep. To analyze the presence of cardiac variability and pre- and post-treatment cortisol values. Patients and Methods: 12 patients with CP will receive 15 sessions of electrotherapy. 12 will receive a placebo. Mechanical sensitivity pre-post, by means of an algometer, cardiac variability, cortisol levels, and other variables, will be measured by means of questionnaires. Mechanical sensitivity to pain will be measured using an algometer (Baseline 12-0300 MMT). Patients will be instructed to report when the sensation of pressure changes to pain. The pre-post electrotherapy treatment described above will be measured, the differences in mechanical sensitivity, pain threshold to pressure, the Pittsburg questionnaires, SF-36, MFIS and EQooL-5. Follow-up will be done at 6 months and at one year. The study design is a triple-blind randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients who sign the consent form will be evaluated by an internist who will perform a physical examination at the clinic of the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy of the Pontifical University of Salamanca (UPSA). The sample will be randomized. 12 patients will receive treatment and 12 patients will receive a placebo. With a commitment to treat these patients in the event that positive results are obtained after the end of the study. A biphasic microcurrent will be applied with a frequency between 1.14 Hertz and 14.29 Hertz and intensities between 0.1 and 0.9 mA. Frequency: 2 times a week. A total of 15 sessions in 7.5 weeks. The session time with microcurrents will last 60 minutes. .

The purpose of this study is to assess the objective response rate (ORR) of immunotherapy-based combination therapy and to assess the safety and tolerability of immunotherapy-based combination therapy.
