Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

In the RELEVANCE study, we will develop a scalable electronic medical report data capture platform to collect and analyse real-world data in the stage III NSCLC population in Canada across several Canadian cancer centres. Subsequent analyses will examine treatment patterns and clinical outcomes, including overall survival, for these patients, stratified by durvalumab regimen or non-durvalumab regimen during the time of the PACIFIC Patient Support Program.

Low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) is considered as a screening method for early detection of lung cancer in the population at risk, and it also allows to detect chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Studies in European population showed the benefit of volumetric assessment of CT screening-detected lung nodules compared to diameter-based assessment. Screening for COPD and CVD, in addition to lung cancer, may significantly increase the benefits of low-dose CT lung cancer screening. The objective is to assess the screening performance of volume-based management of CT-detected lung nodule in comparison to diameter-based management, and to improve the effectiveness of CT screening for COPD and CVD, in addition to lung cancer, based on quantitative measurement of CT imaging biomarkers in a Chinese screening setting. Thus, a population-based comparative study will be performed in Shanghai, China.

This study involves the evaluation of a decision support tool, based on the patient version of the NCCN guidelines, for the non-small cell lung cancer patient population.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, safety and tolerability, predictors of success of EUS-B-FNA in the diagnosis of malignant parenchymal lung lesions. The Investigators will also evaluated the adequacy of samples obtained for molecular analysis in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This is a non-interventional, observational, multicentre, one-arm, non-comparative, and retrospective study. The study is based on the collection of data about the patients treated with Durvalumab after chemoraditherapy in the real world. The patients participating in this non-interventional study will not receive treatment in relation to the study. The primary objective is to assess affectiveness of durvalumab in patients treated in real-life settings by evaluating Progression Free Survival.

This study evaluates the use of ctDNA and CTCs in predicting disease activity and drug response in lung cancer patients and serves to complement existing methods to achieve a non-invasive and accurate means to guide treatment decisions.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The aims of this study were to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a lung cancer screening pilot program with LD CT scan in a French department (Somme). DEP KP80 was a single-arm, prospective study started in May 2016. The inclusion criteria were those of the National Lung Screening Trial. An annual LD CT scan was scheduled and 2 rounds were planned. Smoking cessation was encouraged as part of the protocol. Subjects were selected by General Practitioner or Pneumologist who checked the inclusion criteria and prescribed the CT scan.

Background Surgery for lung cancer can be performed using open (thoracotomy) or minimally invasive techniques (Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS)). Despite being associated with fewer postoperative complications (PPCs) VATS is difficult to perform and is only used by 20-44% of thoracic surgeons in the UK. Robotic-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS) maybe a more attractive minimally invasive approach. To date, no studies have explored the impact of RATS on exercise capacity or physical activity and although 1 study has looked at Heath Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) post-RATS compared to an open technique indicators of surgical technique were not controlled for. Furthermore, investigators have little understanding of patients' experience of RATS. Aims To examine the variability of change in exercise capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between those who receive thoracotomy V RATS. To compare the difference in post-operative physical activity (step and activity count), across 7 days, in those who receive thoracotomy V RATS. To explore the manner in which patients appraise their experience of undergoing RATS. Methods: A mixed-method, multi-center study will be undertaken, utilizing a prospective quasi-experimental study design and an interpretive phenomenological approach. 80 individuals, referred for a lung lobectomy with a primary or secondary diagnosis of lung cancer, will complete outcomes assessed at 4 time-points. The Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ C30) and the EORTC Lung Cancer module (EORTC QLQ LC13) will be completed at: baseline, 3-6 days post surgery, 6-weeks post-surgery and at 3-month follow up. Patients will wear an activity monitor immediately post-surgery until 1-week post-discharge. Step and activity counts will be recorded. In-depth interviews will be conducted with up to 15 patients who underwent RATS to explore the manner in which patients appraise their experience of RATS.

The Oncology Care Coordination study is designed to evaluate use of a care coordination tool for lung cancer patients and their caregiver on quality of care and performance outcomes. Eligible patients need to be receiving treatment at Geisinger. Participation in the study involves completion of surveys, permission to review information from the patient's electronic health record, and for some enrollment in the care coordination tool called Harmonized Care. Geisinger oncology care providers who have patients enrolled the study will be invited for interviews.
