Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus PD-1 antibody in HER 2 insertion or amplification.

This is a randomized, 30-day research study that is exploring the effects of two simplified mindfulness interventions in lung cancer patients aimed to improve their sleep quality and anxiety regarding sleep. The investigators will be enrolling a total of 20 patients who have insomnia symptoms. Patients will use a behavioral intervention to help with their sleep.

The purpose of this project is to increase appropriate low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening through the development and wide dissemination of patient-centered clinical decision support (CDS) tools that (1) are integrated with the electronic health record (EHR) and clinical workflows, (2) prompt for shared decision making (SDM) when patients meet screening criteria, and (3) enable effective SDM using individually-tailored information on the potential benefits and harms of screening. The study will promote standard of care that is endorsed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).

The purpose of the study is to collect real-life data during the early post-market authorization approval period in Germany. The study aims at describing the outcomes, patient characteristics, safety profile, treatment patterns and patient-reported Quality of Life of first-line treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab in combination with two cycles of chemo therapy in participants with confirmed stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

This study aims to determine the clinical effectiveness of multi-dimensional signatures in predicting response and prognosis of lung cancer patients. The study is a multi-center perspective research of treatment planning for patients with lung cancer. To characterize clinical effectiveness, the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) impacts of multi-dimensional signatures will be estimated.

Consolidation immunotherapy of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) following chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is the current standard of care for patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as it improves both progression-free survival and overall survival. However, a substantial proportion of patients still experience disease recurrence despite consolidation ICI. It is important for personalized treatment to predict the efficacy of consolidation ICI. PD-L1 expression is used as a predictive biomarker for ICI response and efficacy in advanced NSCLC, but its role in patients with stage III disease is unclear. One important reason is PD-L1 testing performed on pre-CRT tissue may not reflect changes in PD-L1 expression after CRT. CT-based radiomics approaches have been successfully applied to generate imaging biomarkers as decision support tools for clinical practice. The hypothesis of this study is that CT radiomics model can assess PD-L1 status after CRT and predict the efficacy of CRT combined with ICI in unresectable locally advanced NSCLC.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the top three most common cancers in Taiwan. Targetable driver mutations in NSCLC are more prevalent in Asian population compared to those in Western population, which offers chances to apply suitable targeted therapies worldwide. For patients who failed to the treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), the genetic mutations from next-generation sequencing (NGS) reports can serve as the reference of treatment selection. Moreover, the expression of PD-1/PD-L1 serves as a helpful indicator for the response of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). On the other hand, patients with wild-type EGFR/ALK mutations and PD-L1-negative NSCLC who received chemotherapy had relative poorer survival than those received suitable targeted therapies and ICIs. To further elucidate the underlying molecular genomic aberrations, as well as the clinical demographics and therapeutic outcomes in above subpopulations, it is necessary to have a national, multi-centers and population-focused research project to collect data completely. Tumor tissue will be collected from advanced NSCLC patients with wild-type EGFR/ALK or EGFR/ALK mutation after resistant to TKIs for real-time next-generation sequencing analysis in a platform of data storage and sharing. The purpose of the precision medicine project is to establish tumor molecular profiling of specific NSCLC populations in Taiwan, to facilitate patients to have corresponding potential targeted therapeutics and suitable clinical trials, and to extend the median overall survival.

This is a multicenter, randomized, open label, phase II study.

In advanced non-small cell lung cancer, there will be some rare mutations, such as ALK, KRAS, etc. The efficacy of these immunotherapies on these different rare mutations has not been reported. Therefore, we conducted this retrospective clinical study to explore the efficacy of immunotherapy for different rare mutations.

Mediastinal lymph node (LN) involvement (N2) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) concerns 15% of resectable tumors and is associated with a poor prognosis and an overall survival reaching 9 to 49%. Literature fails to provide any definitive consensus regarding the management of these patients, except for the platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. The N2 involvement remains a matter of debate because of its not yet well-classified heterogeneity. Regarding anatomy, the Mountain and Dresler's regional LN classification for lung cancer staging remains the reference. Different studies classified IIIA-N2 disease into 4 groups, in addition to the skip-N2 phenomenon: minimal-N2, N2 single station, N2 multiple stations, and bulky-N2. Other subgroups were recently proposed for the 8th edition of the TNM: N2a1 - single station skip, N2a2 - single station non-skip, N2b - multiple stations. The French National Cancer Institute (INCa) proposed guidelines, but in case of cN2 staging without mediastinal infiltration, guidelines remained imprecise ("resectability should be discussed for each case") and suggested surgery first, or induction chemotherapy, or concomitant chemoradiation. Thus, optimal management of cIIIA-N2 remains controversial but complete tumor resection can be related to long-term survival in some patients, including 10 years after surgery [1]. In this situation, the identification of markers that will help select IIIA-N2 patients who will benefit from surgical resection is mandatory.
