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

This prospective, multicountry, multicentre, non-interventional study plans to include patients who have undergone surgery for early-stage (IA to IIIB on the basis of pathologic criteria) non-squamous NSCLC up to 6 weeks prior to enrolment into the study. The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of EGFRm in patients with surgically resected early-stage (IA to IIIB) non-squamous NSCLC as there are limited data on its prevalence in this patient population.

The present study is a prospective cohort study. The aim is to assess the relationship between the presence of cancer stem-cells (CSC) and the risk of relapse in patients with early and locally advanced adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung

The subject is going to use 18F-FDG PET/CT to assess different genetic NSCLC metabolism after cisplatin chemotherapy and targeted therapy, define the assessment criteria for the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in NSCLC treatment respone and at last build multi-centre clinical trial platform of molecular classification and molecular imaging for cancer chemotherapy assessment.

Present study is aimed at investigating potential molecular predictors of sensitivity or resistance to single-agent pemetrexed in the ≥ second line setting in a large cohort of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The following biomarkers will be investigated with either immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization or genotyping: thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), glycinamide ribonucleotide formyl transferase (GARFT), aminoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (ATIC/AICARFT), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Kirsten rat sarcoma 2 viral oncogene homolog (KRAS), v-myc myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (MYC) and phosphoinositide-3-kinase, catalytic, alpha polypeptide (PIK3CA).

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Tarceva versus combination of Gemcitabine plus Cisplatin as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with stage IIIA-N1,N2 NSCLC with EGFR activating mutation in exon 19 or 21.

Aim of the study is to evaluated the role of IGF1R and p95HER2 on prognosis in radically resected non small cell lung cancer patients The primary objective is to correlate the expression of IGF1R and p95HER2 with survival.

The purpose of this study is to determine duration before progression of first-line treatment chemotherapy following erlotinib in second-line comparing erlotinib in first-line following chemotherapy in second-line in old patients with none small cell lung cancer.

This is a multicentre, non-interventional, prospective study to be carried out in representative oncology departments / institutions in order to determine the prevalence of EGFR mutations in treatment-naive Russian patients with cytologically verified advanced NSCLC in Russia.

Empyema following pneumonectomy for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is a known problem that occurs in about 2% of pneumonectomy patients.

As one of the few centers, MAASTRO also aggressively re-treats patients with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Even after primary radical treatment to high doses, re-irradiation (with concurrent chemotherapy) is also given in curative intent, thus again using high doses of radiation. Publications on high-dose re-irradiation of lung cancer patients are scarce, and outcome and toxicity for patients treated in MAASTRO are unknown at present. This study will provide knowledge on benefit and risks of such a therapeutic approach.
