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

The study was designed to compare the safety and effectiveness of vedio-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy with open lobectomy for patients with surgically resectable pathologic N2 non-small cell lung cancer

Hyperion Is A Prospective, Multicenter, Non-Interventional, Two-Cohort Study Collecting Primary Data In Patients With Locally Advanced Or Metastatic NSCLC Of Squamous Or Non-Squamous Histology After Prior Chemotherapy Being Treated With Atezolizumab In Routine Clinical Practice.

This observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tarceva (erlotinib) in second line in patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure of first line platinum-based chemotherapy. Eligible patients will be followed for 12 months.

Background: -Coordinated cancer care provided by doctors, nurses, social workers, and other care providers is believed to improve patient and physician satisfaction and patient evaluation for enrollment in clinical trials. But no research has been done to show that this approach improves patient experiences and outcomes. Researchers want to study this model to better understand how it can improve cancer treatment and patient outcomes. Objectives: - To assess the relationship between coordinated care and cancer treatment processes and outcomes. Eligibility: - Individuals who are at least 18 years of age. Those who take part must have been diagnosed with colon, rectal, or non-small-cell lung cancer. They also must be receiving or have been treated at one of the 16 NCI Community Cancer Center program sites. Design: Researchers will collect medical records data from participants. Participants will complete a questionnaire about 8 weeks after the end of all planned cancer treatment. They will be asked questions about their experience with coordinated cancer care. They will also be asked for any comments or concerns they had during and after treatment. No treatment or additional tests will be provided as part of this protocol.

The goal of this research study is to learn more about the safety of treating NSCLC with reirradiation using standard methods and to look for ways to lessen side effects and improve therapy. Reirradiation is when radiation is given to an area of the body that has previously received a full dose of radiation.

Primary endpoint To observe the dynamic changes of CTC during the process of platinum based chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC. To study the relationship between CTC count and clinical outcome of chemotherapy (ORR and PFS). Secondary endpoint To study the relationship between CTC and overall survival. To study the molecular feature of CTC, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), KRAS, CD117, etc.

The aim of this study is to determine prospectively the value of a recently identified proteomic signature in identifying those patients with lung cancer, who are likely to benefit from and respond favourably to erlotinib therapy. This is a prospective study of serum proteomics as a predictor of response to erlotinib therapy.

This observational study will evaluate the patterns of disease progression in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring EGFR activating mutations receiving Tarceva (erlotinib) as first-line treatment. Patients will be followed for up to 12 months after progression of disease.

This pilot clinical trial studies cognitive behavioral therapy in treating anxiety in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their caregivers. Cognitive behavioral therapy may reduce anxiety and improve the well-being and quality of life of patients who have stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their caregivers.

In Japan, post-approval execution of post marketing surveillance (PMS) is requested by the Japanese Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (J-PAL) in order to accumulate safety and efficacy data for reexamination. Reexamination period is defined by J-PAL. Eight years after approval of a new substance, results of PMS need to be submitted as a part of reexamination dossier to the Japanese regulatory authority, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW).
