Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung"

Immunotherapy has made rapid progress in melanoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and bladder cancer, etc. Preclinical data suggested that the use of anti-PD-1 antibody in combination with CTLA-4 receptor blockers may increase antitumor activity. The CheckMate-012 study showed that nivolumab and ipilimumab combination therapy achieved an overall response rate of 43% in unselected patients with non-small cell lung cancer, compared with 23% in the nivolumab monotherapy group; and in the PD-L1 positive subgroup, nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab showed a response rate of 57%, while nivolumab alone was 28%. This showed that the combination therapy of nivolumab and ipilimumab can increase the efficacy, but the adverse events of grade 3 or above of combination therapy reach 37%. The toxic side effects limit the widespread use of nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab therapy. However, since the action of ipilimumab is limited to the initiation of the immune response (antigen presentation and immune cell activation), and its long half-time of 15.4 days, ipilimumab can used as an induction therapy, following by the PD1 monoclonal antibody. This phase I study is aimed to evaluated the safety and efficacy of CTLA-4 antibody followed by PD-1 antibody in patients with recurrent or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

An open-label randomized and controlled clinical trial: This study was to compare the anticancer efficacy and safety in the First-Line Treatment in patients with Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer with Paclitaxel Micelles for Injection In combination with Cisplatin versus Paclitaxel Injection Containing Cremophor EL(polyoxyethylenated castor oil) In combination with Cisplatin in the way of an open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. Treatment Protocol: The subjects were randomized in the Paclitaxel Micelles for Injection Group and the Paclitaxel Injection Group by the proportion of 2:1. The centralized randomization method was adopted in this trial. Since the study was a comparison of first-line treatment, the test for superiority was adopted. The objective response rate was the primary indicator of efficacy in this study. Trial Group: Paclitaxel Micelles for Injection and Cisplatin was intravenously administrated. Three weeks constituted one course of treatment. No pretreatment, including anti-allergic prevention and antiemetic prophylaxis, was required for the patients before infusion of Paclitaxel Micelles for Injection patients. Control Group: Conventional Paclitaxel Injection and Cisplatin was intravenously administrated. Three weeks constituted one course of treatment. Standard preventive treatment must be given to patients in accordance with the specific requirements in specifications of Paclitaxel Injection. Regardless of the Trial Group or the Control Group, six treatment periods shall be the upper limit. To estimate the sample size based on objective remission indicators (CR + PR) in the study. Hypothesis: the objective remission rate of the Paclitaxel Micelles for Injection combined with Cisplatin in the Trial Group is different with that of first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer, and is also different with that of the Cremophor EL-containing Paclitaxel Injection combined with Cisplatin in the Control Group. Trial parameter settings: assuming α = 0.05 and 1-β = 80%, the Trial Group: Control Group is designed as per the proportion of 2: 1. According to the sample size formula , a total of 426 patients is required, including 284 patients assigned in the Trial Group and 142 in the Control Group. In consideration of case expulsion in the process of clinical, enlarged by 10%, actually 468 cases were included in the groups, including 312 in the Trial Group and 156 in the Control Group.

This is a phase II, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial. Study objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of mirtazapine in advanced NSCLC patients with malignant tumor related depression. Study hypothesis is that advanced NSCLC diagnosed with depression undertaking palliative chemotherapy with mirtazapine treatment for 8 weeks will have remarkable improvement in depression compared to baseline. Eligible advanced NSCLC Patients with PHQ-9 score ≥ 8, and undertaking palliative chemotherapy will be enrolled into this study. patients will be stratified (gender, age, Numerical Rating Scale score for cancer pain 0-3/4-6/7-10) randomized (1:1) into mirtazapine or placebo treatment. Patients in mirtazapine arm will be orally administered with mirtazapine 15mg, QD, consecutive medication for 8 weeks; along with palliative chemotherapy regimen decided by investigators. Patients in placebo arm will be orally administered with placebo 15mg, QD, consecutive medication for 8 weeks; along with palliative chemotherapy regimen decided by investigators. During the treatment, Patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) and European Organization for Research on Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life questionnaire-C30 (QLQ-C30) questionnaires will be collected at baseline, 3 weeks (d22) and 8 weeks (d57), or treatment discontinuation date due to depression deteriorated or suicidal tendency and behavior. Follow-up will last up to 4 weeks after treatment end with depression assessment (questionnaires every 2 weeks). Study endpoints: primary endpoint is the anti-depression efficacy (response rate). Response defined as the PHQ-9 or HAMD-17 questionnaire score decrease ≥ 50% compared with baseline level.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy combined with dendritic activated cytokine-induced killer cell (D-CIK) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The development of anti-angiogenesis drugs has led to renewed enthusiasm in lung cancer treatments. Apatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor which selectively inhibits the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2). Etoposide is an oral preparation for lung cancer which is recommended by NCCN guideline. The investigators wondered whether these two drugs have synergistic effects when treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients who failed to previous at least 2nd line treatments. Thus, the aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with etoposide in heavily pretreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of Apatinib in combination with AP(Pemetrexed/Carboplatin) or AC(Pemetrexed/Carboplatin) as first-line chemotherapy in subjects with advanced EGFR wild type non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that causes the highest morbidity and mortality, and the main pathological type is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Most of them present with advanced stage at diagnosis. This design is to study maintenance therapy with pemetrexed plus apatinib after first line induction therapy four cycles for advanced non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of patients who receive apatinib plus docetaxel and zoledronic versus docetaxel and zoledronic alone as second line treatment for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with bone metastases.

In this clinical study, the investigators evaluate the efficacy and safety of S-588410 in patients who underwent an adjuvant chemotherapy after the complete resection of non-small-cell lung cancer.

Nicotinamide is an inhibitor of human sirtuins (HDAC III), and is found to re-activate epigenetically silenced tumor suppressors, RUNX3 (runt-related gene 3) and others, in cancer cells. Nicotinamide was found to be effective in several animal cancer models including lung, bladder, liver, etc. The purpose of this study is to determine whether nicotinamide is also effective in the treatment of human lung cancer.
