Detection of EGFR Mutations in the Blood of Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: a Feasibility...
Non Small Cell Lung CancerThe overall objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of the use of blood for the detection of EGFR mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Specific aims are: To assess the use of immuno-separation techniques to enrich the tumor cell population in the blood of NSCLC patients. To assess the use of denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) assay for the detection of EGFR mutations in the blood of NSCLC patients.
The Method ISET (Insulation by Size of Epithelial Tumor Cells)
Non Small Cell Lung CancerThe aim of this study is, i) to assess the presence and the frequency of CTC in NSCLC patients undergoing surgery by using cytopathological analysis after their isolation by size (ISET method), and, ii) to correlate the presence of CNHC with pTNM stage, histological subtype, and percentage of tumor cells present into the primary tumors.
CT-Based Versus Conventional Simulation for Palliative Radiotherapy of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer...
Non-small Cell Lung CancerRadiotherapy (RT) treatment to the chest is a standard way of trying to decrease symptoms like cough or shortness of breath. Before any RT can be delivered, it must be planned, either using conventional x-rays ("fluoroscopy") or using computer tomography ("CT") scanning. This study is being done because the investigators do not know which of these two common ways of RT planning is better for balancing both treating the cancer and decreasing side effects.
Erlotinib and Sequential Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer...
CarcinomaNon-Small-Cell LungThis is a Phase-II Study to evaluate the accuracy of Fluorodeoxyglucose-/Fluorothymidine-Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-/FLT-PET) analyses for early prediction of non-progression in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with Erlotinib.
Phase 1 Study of TG01 and Erlotinib in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NCSLC) Patients
Non-small Cell Lung CancerThis is a multicenter, open-label, phase 1, dose escalation study. The purpose is to determine the highest dose of TG01 that can be safely given to patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in combination with erlotinib.
Weekly Use First-generation EGFR-TKI in the Treatment of EGFR-TKI Acquired Resistance Non-small...
EGFR-TKI Resistant MutationEGFR-TKI is the main is the first line therapy for local advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR gene mutation. The median progression free survival time is around 11 months with the first generation EGFR-TKI. Patients with acquired resistance with first generation EGFR-TKI usually with EGFR exon 20 mutation (T790M). Change the drug administration maybe prolong patients PFS and evently prolong OS.
A Non-interventional Trial of Erlotinib (Tarceva) Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Non-Small Cell Lung CancerThis is a non-interventional, open label, single arm, multicenter study to assess the safety and efficacy of erlotinib in participants with non-small cell lung cancer.
An Observational Study of Avastin (Bevacizumab) in Elderly Patients With Non-Squamous Non-Small...
Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung CancerThis prospective, observational study will assess the effectiveness and safety of Avastin (bevacizumab) as 1st line therapy in elderly patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer in clinical practice. Therapy with Avastin and standard chemotherapy will be administered according to the treating physician. Data will be collected for approximately 4 years.
An Observational Study of Tarceva (Erlotinib) in First Line in Patients With Advanced EGFR Mutation-Positive...
Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung CancerThis observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tarceva (erlotinib) in first-line therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients, for whom the treating physician has decided to initiate treatment with Tarceva according to the local label will be followed for 18 months.
Improving Care After Chemotherapy
Non-small Cell Lung CancerColorectal Cancer1 moreThe main purpose of this study is to examine changes in patient-reported symptoms during the first two cycles of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC) and breast cancer, among patients who receive standard care plus a proactive nursing intervention relative to patients who receive standard care alone. Interventions to improve symptom management and prevent urgent care needs in both the clinic and hospital for patients receiving chemotherapy with curative intent are needed to enhance the quality of cancer care.
