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

schema : Prospective prognostic study The main objective is to study the value of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment in predicting the risk of post operative complications after lung resection for cancer.

This is a retrospective study that involves the revision of clinical, instrumental and pathologic data of an estimated cohort of maximum 130 patients with NSCLC treated with surgery with radical intent at our center.

The objectives of this study are to assess molecular testing, treatment patterns, and associated outcomes among patients with EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) mutation-positive locally advanced or advanced NSCLC (Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer) who have progressed on or after EGFR-TKI (EGFR-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor) therapy post availability of a third-generation TKI (primary study cohort). Additionally, molecular testing and treatment patterns will be assessed among a secondary cohort of patients which will include patients diagnosed with de-novo EGFR T790M mutation-positive locally advanced or advanced NSCLC.

Because ALK-positive lung cancer constitutes less than 5% of all lung cancers, it is critically important to select those patients who are more likely to have the ALK mutation. Clinical characteristics of patients with mutations in the target gene should also be known, so that the incidence of a given target mutation is established in a specific population. There is not incidence known in Mexican population, but it is believed it is greater.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) represent 25 to 30% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas in western countries. DLBCLs are aggressive cancer but potentially curable with multi-agent chemotherapy. Whereas R-CHOP regimen has led to a marked improvement in survival, this disease remains a biologically heterogeneous entity. New therapeutic strategies are required including identification of patients' subgroups with different prognostic. This project is based on BMS_LyTrans and Goelams 075 clinical trial. A study of whole blood transcriptome in 75 DLBCL patients and in 87 controls showed that PD-L1 (CD274) gene was overexpressed in DLBCL patients. Preliminary results demonstrated that PD-L1 is detected in plasma of DLBCL patients with a significantly higher concentration than in controls. This protein was selected as a potential biomarker because of its established role in anti-tumoral immunity. Interaction between PD-L1 and its receptor PD-1 is known to inhibit activation of immune responses by inducing T-lymphocytes anergy and/or apoptosis. Moreover, a direct involvement of PD-L1 in the protection of cancer cells from lysis by activated T lymphocytes has been demonstrated. PD-L1 expression has been described in several solid tumours, including ovary cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma and in hematological malignancies such as T-NHL, MM and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Furthermore the expression of PD-L1 by tumour cells is associated with poor prognosis. The blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 axis may represent a novel therapeutic approach in aggressive cancers. These first results incite to identify the cells releasing soluble PD-L1 and to investigate its role in the anti-tumoral immunity in DLBCL patients. The aim of this study is to identify cells producing soluble PD-L1 in DLBCL patients at diagnosis in comparison to others tumours known to express PD-L1 (metastatic breast cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer).

The overall aim of the study is: To provide accurate and reliable information regarding NSCLC clinical management across MENA region in order to detect unmet medical needs of this disease in terms of: Patient and hospital characteristics. Diagnostic and treatment approaches: initial and subsequent. Follow-up patterns in clinical management. Outcomes: symptoms, death, functionality, quality of life. Use of resources and burden on patients and health care systems.

Trial design: Prospective observational study Target population: 200 NSCLC patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV or recurrent NSCLC who have progressive disease after 1st line chemotherapy who consent for study participation and meet the study selection criteria Primary objective: To investigate C-met expression/amplification and EGFR gene mutations in NSCLC patients treated with Erlotinib C-met expression by IHC C-met amplification by SISH EGFR mutation by real time PCR We will also assess the correlation of EGFR mutations and c-MET with clinical outcome (Overall Response Rate, Progression Free survival ) Duration of Trial Recruitment: 2 years

With roughly 80% of cancer patients receiving their oncology care in the community setting, the investigators are proposing to sample from a community-based center to evaluate the percentage of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-wild type patients that gain benefit from erlotinib and assess the clinical characteristics that are associated with erlotinib-responders. Additionally, biopsy specimens from enrolled patient cases that are EGFR-wt will be evaluated via exploratory genetic analysis for correlated markers.

This is a multi-center retrospective study, designing to access the best treatment strategy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR mutant type after first/second line EGFR-TKI failure. The study end point is Progression Free Survival 2 (PFS2), which is defined as the time period from Progression Disease 1(PD1) to Progression Disease 2(PD2). PD1 is defined as the first tumor progression time from taking EGFR-TKI evaluated by Recist 1.1 criterion, and PD2 as the second tumor progression time after EGFR-TKI failure no matter what second/third line treatment was, PD2 is also evaluated by Recist 1.1 criterion.

In this clinical trial, investigators select FFPE and plasma samples of non-small cell lung cancer which are used for quantitative detection of four kinds of EGFR(Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) mutations. By the following two aspects, investigators evaluate the clinical performance of the EGFR quantitative kits. methodology validation: To certify the equivalence between the EGFR quantitative kit and the common used detection methods. analysis of the relationship between the type and proportion of EGFR sensitive mutation and EGFR-TKI benefit.
