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

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of Bevacizumab in addition to platinum-based chemotherapy for first-line treatment of participants with advanced stage (IIIB/IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) other than predominantly squamous cell histology.

The objectives of this study are to assess the safety and efficacy of single agent Tagrisso (Osimertinib, hereinafter "the study drug") in a real world setting in adult patients with advanced or metastatic, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Who Have Progressed on or after EGFR tyrosine kinase receptor (TKI) therapy.

The immune-related adverse events (irAEs) linked to the important activation of the immune system by new immunotherapy treatments in patients affected by Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) have not received a lot of systematic study or been monitored over time outside of clinical trials. This study aims to verify, on the basis of the data collected in a prospective and retrospective manner, that the side-effects due of anti-PD-(L)-1 or anti-CTLA-4 treatments observed in the target population of the controlled clinical trials are the same as in the general clinical population.

This prospective, single-arm multi-center study will provide clinical data in an observational setting using the Echelon Flex™ 45 and 60 Powered ENDOPATH® Stapler Articulating Endoscopic Linear Cutters (study Endocutter). Individuals undergoing VATS lobectomy for suspected or confirmed Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), or individuals undergoing VATS diagnostic wedge resection in accordance with their institution's Standard of care (SOC), and who meet study entry criteria, may be enrolled. Study procedures will include a wedge resection, wedge resection followed by lobectomy of the same lobe, or lobectomy.

Thet study aims to estimate the prevalence of ALK rearrangement in the Middle East North Africa population by using the Ventana ALK-IHC method for ALK protein detection in retrospective NSCLC clinical samples, & to evaluate the association of ALK rearrangement with clinical and pathological parameters of NSCLC patients in MENA.

This study observes the efficacy and side effects of CT-guided radioactive iodine-125 seed brachytherapy in inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer retrospectively, and analyzes the influence of clinical and dosimetric factors on the outcomes.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a blood test to measure circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). It is hypothesized that ctDNA may identify patients who can be considered for additional therapy. 40 People with non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer will be asked to take part in this study. Participants will have approximately 3 teaspoons of blood withdrawn from a vein at three different times. These times will be before primary treatment (either surgery or radiation therapy), 1 month after primary treatment, and 4 months after primary treatment.

This is a retrospective, observational, multicentre study to evaluate treatment patterns and outcomes of patients diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic EGFRm NSCLC in Belgium

Current guidelines in non-small cell lung cancer recommend genomic assessment for mutations in EGFR and BRAF, gene rearrangements in ALK and ROS1, and resistance mutations such as T790M upon progression during EGFR inhibitor therapy. However, obtaining sufficient tumour tissue to test for these molecular alterations, as well as those with emerging targeted therapies, is challenging in lung cancer. A promising method to improve molecular diagnostic testing in lung and other cancers is the use of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) obtained from blood samples or liquid biopsies. This multi-centre prospective study will compare blood-based profiling (using the GUARDANT360 assay) to standard of care tissue-based profiling within the Canadian system.

Lung cancer patients have a poor prognosis and only around 20 % is alive after 5 years. However, for advanced non-small cell lung cancer immunotherapy has become a cornerstone of treatment. Two immunotherapeutic drugs for lung cancer have been approved in the last two years. Immunotherapy blocks the capability of cancer cells to inactivate the patient´s immune system, thus re-enabling eradication of cancer cells. In clinical trials, immunotherapy has shown superior survival and less toxicity compared to standard chemotherapy. Whether the patients are candidates for immunotherapy or not is currently based on an unprecise biomarker that poorly predicts the patients who may benefit from immunotherapy. Immunotherapy can cause severe adverse effects and is expensive. Consequently, novel biomarkers are urgently needed from a patient perspective as well as a socioeconomic perspective. The objective of the project is to investigate changes in genes and other signals in tissue and blood samples from immunotherapy treated lung cancer patients. The investigators expect to identify new biomarkers that can predict with high precision, which patients may benefit from immunotherapy. On-treatment, the investigators also aim to identify biomarkers that predict the treatment response and reveal the underlying mechanisms when cancer cells become resistant to the treatment.
