Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Multinational, multi-center medical record review to describe the treatment patterns, clinical outcomes, and EGFR / T790M testing practices in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC patients receiving first-line EGFR TKI therapy in Europe.

This is a retrospective study. 132 patients with LCNEC and combined LCNEC were included to the analysis. Patients were treated with radical, palliative or symptomatic intension between 2002-2018 in central and north-eastern centres in Poland. The group of patients consists of 47 women (36%) and 85 men (64%). Ratio of women to men is 1:1,81. The observation period ranged from 0 to 192 months.

The purpose of this study is to make a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes by CP-EBUS elastography for the first time, and to make a benign and malignant diagnosis.

In the management of non-small cell lung cancer of the adenocarcinoma type, different therapeutic strategies can be proposed. These strategies are defined according to the results of a biological analysis of blood and/or tissue samples from the lung tumor. Mutations in the tumor DNA are sought. Thus, patients with sensitizing mutations can benefit from a treatment with a 3rd generation tyroine kinase inhibitor (TKI) whose efficacy has been widely demonstrated. Patients without tumor mutations will not benefit. However, resistance to TKIs appears after a certain time, often linked to the appearance of new mutations in the tumor. For this reason, blood biologic analyses are regularly performed to search for the emergence of resistance mutations and to propose a therapeutic alternative as soon as possible. These analyses are performed routinely in the laboratory. In the course of these analyses, the investigators have identified conventional mutations but also new mutations not previously described in the literature. Our objective is to list all the molecular abnormalities revealed during blood biological analyses, to determine their frequency and to study whether certain abnormalities can be linked to resistance to TKI.

The purpose of this study to test measures of physical and psychological resilience while using Self-System therapy (SST), to treat depression and lung-cancer-related distress in older adults (65 years and older).

This study assesses the effectiveness of transbronchial cryobiopsy guided by 3-dimensional fluoroscopy. Transbronchial cryobiopsy is a procedure to collect lung tissue. The main side effect seen after a transbronchial cryobiopsy is pneumothorax (air leaking out of the lung, which may cause a completely or partially collapsed lung). The standard imaging scans used during this procedure are 2-dimensional (like a photo), which can make it difficult for the doctor to know exactly where the biopsy tool is during the procedure. If the exact location of the device is not clear, a patient can be at a higher risk of pneumothorax. Using a 3-dimensional imaging technique may help to decrease the risk of pneumothorax during transbronchial cryobiopsy.

The purpose of the trial is to find some biomarkers to predict the efficacy of Atezolizumab plus etoposide and platinum based chemotherapy as the first line treatment in extensive stage small cell lung cancer. Mainly observe the patient's progression free survival time after treatment.

It is necessary to develop a technique of sentinel lymph node detection using radioactive fluorescent dual contrast agent consisting targetable albumin for specific marker to accurately determine whether or not the sentinel lymph nodes have metastasized or non-metastasized. Therefore, investigators would like to conduct a clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of radioactive fluorescent dual contrast agent to detect sentinel lymph nodes for patient-specific minimally invasive surgery.

This is an observational, non-interventional, single-country, multi center, retrospective cohort study, based on real world data collection, of patients with locally advanced or metastatic Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who had been treated with Afatinib at any line.

In this study, investigators plan to test whether Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI) treatment leads to an accelerated progression of atherosclerosis in patients with lung cancer. Atherosclerosis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease and these same checkpoints being targeted for cancer are critical negative regulators of atherosclerosis in animal and cellular models. Aortic plaque progression will be compared between cases (on ICI) and controls from pre-ICI to post-ICI among patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Groups will be matched for age, cancer type and stage and cardiovascular risk factors. Traditional markers of cardiovascular (CVD) risk and cancer-specific factors (ICI mono- and combination therapy, number of cycles, occurrence of immune-related adverse events, chest radiation, steroid use) will be associated with the change in aortic plaque volume.
