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

This is a retrospective observational research study to describe the characteristics and real-world clinical outcomes of patients with locally advanced, unresectable Stage III non-small cell lung cancer receiving durvalumab in the United Kingdom (the CODAK study). Physicians who have treated patients who have locally advanced, unresectable Stage III NSCLC with durvalumab will be requested to recruit patients to have their clinical data abstracted from their clinical records in line with local laws. Data from this study will provide UK-specific real-world data on patients receiving durvalumab through the Early Access Programme (EAP) or post-reimbursement.

Data regarding nivolumab as second line treatment in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are based on selected populations and might not reflect daily practice. Investigators aimed at assessing efficacy and safety of nivolumab in a real-life setting and determining a subtype of NSCLC patients that are more likely to benefit from immunotherapy.

This is a multicentre, retrospective, national observational study aiming to describe clinical outcomes of advanced NSCLC patients that performed an ICP re-challenge during their history of disease. The objective of this study is to evaluate the ICP re-challenge efficacy.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether [18F]-ML-10 used in conjunction with PET imaging is effective as an imaging tool for the early detection of response of oncological tumors in the lungs,head and neck to chemoradiation therapy. The study will evaluate the potential of [18F]-ML-10 used in conjunction with PET imaging to distinguish early during the course of chemoradiation therapy between a tumor that responds to the therapy, and a tumor that does not respond to the therapy. Currently, this distinction is available to the physician several weeks or months after completion of therapy, using anatomical imaging (for example Computed Tomography [CT] or Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI]).

The primary objective of the study is to collect epidemiological data on EGFR mutation status [M+(mutation positive), M-(mutation negative)] in a population of predominantly Caucasian ethnicity, and to correlate EGFR mutation status with clinico-pathological characteristics (e.g. smoking status, sex, histology, etc). In particular, the study will aim to determine the frequency of EGFR M+ lung cancers in patients with clinico-pathological characteristics that are not commonly associated with EGFR mutation positivity (i.e., smokers, men, and non-adenocarcinoma).

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy to the brain may be effective in preventing brain metastases in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective than observation in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to the brain to see how well it works compared with observation in preventing brain metastases in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer

This prospective, multi-center, observational study will assess the progression-free survival and safety of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer treated with Tarceva (erlotinib) and not disease progressing after at least 9 months. Data will be collected for 24 months.

The investigators have characterized in preclinical Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) models the proteomic expression profile associated with exposure to Aurora and Polo-like kinase inhibitors. The identification of proteomic expression patterns in patients with NSCLC would be an important step in defining the possible role of these agents as potential targeted therapies for this clinically important disease. This study proposes to evaluate resected non-small cell lung cancer specimens for these proteomic expression profiles.

One of the most widely used treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the combination of paclitaxel-cisplatin. These drugs may contribute to taste alterations like dysgeusia. Which alters the feeding of cancer patients, contributing to the anorexia, weight loss and malnutrition, which leads to a prognostic impact in a lower patient response to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical treatment as well as increased toxic effects, impacting treatment discontinuation and therefore, morbidity and survival of patients. The objective of this study is to describe the threshold of perception and recognition of basic tastes in patients with NSCLC before treatment with platin and paclitaxel-based chemotherapy and after the second cycle, and analyze the effect in the developement of dysgeusia, as well as the association between these and the nutritional status and quality of life.

We are collecting clinical notes and results of imaging studies (CT and PET scans) from referring physicians who follow the clinical status of patients treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The research objective is to determine whether the patients with (RFA) remain alive, and whether they are in remission or have progressive/ recurrent malignancy
