Active clinical trials for "Small Cell Lung Carcinoma"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not CTCs can be detected in blood samples taken from patients diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. The purpose is to compare CTC analysis to tumor samples to look for differences.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the metabolic properties of lung cancer cells.

Doctors will take some tissue from the tissue removed during surgery in order to study how the blood vessels of the tumor respond to radiation therapy. The tissue obtained will be used to determine how these tumor blood vessels respond to radiation therapy delivered to the tumor, after it has been removed. This radiation is delivered in the research lab. This research is being conducted in order to develop new methods to treat tumors by radiation therapy. No additional surgery will be performed to obtain these samples, and only materials that remain after all diagnostic testing has been completed will be used.

The primary objective of the study is to provide expanded access to and characterize the safety profile of tarlatamab in participants with advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC) after two or more prior lines of treatment (including at least one platinum-based regimen).

Lung Cancer and melanoma relapsed frequently whereas its very sensitive to treatment such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The purpose of this study is to have a better understanding of why those patients are relapsing using next generation sequencing to identify rare mutations and assessed their predictive value.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether green tea extract is safe for extensive-stage small lung cancer who achieved objective tumor response after first-line therapy.

In this retrospective study, the investigators determined the frequency of hyponatremia in small cell lung cancer and the prognosis. 126 (27%) of 466 patients were hyponatremic. Hyponatremia could not be corrected in 50.8% (n=64) of hyponatremic patients. Survival was found to be better in the group of whom hyponatremia was corrected.

The study examines the physical capacity of lung cancer patients assessed with the six minute walk test and handgrip strength. Demographic and selfreported exercise behavior is registered to explore correlations to functional and physical capacity. Assessments are made before first chemotherapy cycle and after fourth chemotherapy cycle, an expected average of 12 weeks between first and second assessment.

To study changes in tumor and normal organ size and/or position which occur during a course of radiation treatments.

The registry is an international, multicenter, observational registry of newly diagnosed patients with SCLC. Data will be entered into an electronic CRF (eCRF) via Internet access. Treatment plan remains the responsibility of the patient's physician and data collected in this registry will reflect a "real world" approach of the diagnosis and treatment of patients with SCLC. Approximately 60 centres in 13 countries will take part in this registry. It is expected that about 500 patients will be recruited during a period of 6 to 9 months according to the feasibility.
