Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma of Lung"

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of photodynamic therapy using HPPH in treating patients with lung cancer. Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as HPPH, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, cancer cells are killed.

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a chemical in the body that is involved in the promotion of cancer. SNX-5422 is an experimental drug that blocks Hsp90.

This is a Phase 2, open-label, safety and activity study of lenvatinib in subjects with KIF5B-RET-positive adenocarcinoma of the lung and other confirmed RET translocations. At least 20 subjects with KIF5B-RET and other RET translocations will be treated and will receive lenvatinib at a starting dose of 24 mg orally, once per day. The study will consist of 3 phases: The Pretreatment Phase, The Treatment Phase and the Extension Phase. The Pretreatment Phase will include screening procedures and eligibility assessments. The Pretreatment Phase consists of a Screen 1, Screen 2 and Baseline Period. The Treatment Phase will begin when the subject has met all eligibility criteria on Day 1 of the first Treatment Cycle. The Treatment Phase contains the Treatment and Follow-up Periods. The Extension Phase will begin for subjects who received treatment in the study (either in the Treatment Period or Follow-up Period) at the time of database cutoff.

The purpose of this study is to compare effectiveness and safety of experimental anticancer medicine, AXL1717, and docetaxel in patients with squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the lung.

To compare the efficacy of simultaneous EGFR-TKI and chemotherapy with that of sequential treatment after patients gradually progressed from first-line EGFR-TKI treatment. Patients who had gradual progression and EGFR-T790M mutation-negative were randomly divided into two groups: in concurrent group, patients were treated with pemetrexed plus cisplatin along with the same EGFR-TKI; in sequential group, patients continued with EGFR-TKI until the disease progressed again according to the RECIST criteria, and then switched to chemotherapy. We evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) time of patients. For sequential group, PFS was PFS1 (gradual progression to discontinue EGFR-TKI) plus PFS2 (chemotherapy alone).

This is a clinical trial from Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Project (ECTOP), numbered as ECTOP-1002. The study is a prospective, single-center, open-label, single-armed, phase II clinical trial. The aim of the study is to evaluate the radiological response rate (RR) of 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with pemetrexed and cisplatin in patients with resectable stage II and IIIA lung adenocarcinoma.

To explore the efficacy of BIBW 2992 defined by the objective response rate (Complete Response, Partial Response) as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours[RECIST] 1.1 in the patients with advanced (stage IIIB or IV) adenocarcinoma of the lung harbouring wild-type EGFR.

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. AE-941 may help shrink or slow the growth of non-small cell lung cancer cells. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy is more effective with or without AE-941 for non-small cell lung cancer. This randomized phase III trial is studying combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy given with AE-941 to see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy alone in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is a novel biomedical non-destructive, slide-free digital imaging modality, which enables the rapid acquisition of accurate high-resolution, volumetric images of intact surgical tissue specimens. This imaging modality provides microscopic level of detail of intact tissues in three-dimensions without requiring any specimen preparation. Its non-destructive nature and the ongoing enhancement of imaging resolution and contrast renders micro-CT imaging particularly well suited for microanatomic studies in basic research across a wide range of interventional medical disciplines, including oncology. Our proposal concerns a multidisciplinary basic research effort which aims to facilitate the effective identification of different -and maybe challenging to differentiate- lung cancer patterns based on 3D X-ray histology. As an alternative for the use of hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) slides, optimized micro-CT scanning of soft tissues emerges as a promising tool to enable non-invasive 3D X-ray histology of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) lung cancer specimens. The objective of our proposal is to offer novel insights into the complex architecture of each lung cancer subtype after imaging FFPE surgical specimens, resected from lung cancer surgeries. The investigators aim to generate 3D datasets of FFPE lung cancer tissues which will be combined with the corresponding conventional 2D histology slides. Our study will be also adequately empowered to identify particular differences in morphometric measurements according to each particular lung cancer growth pattern. Finally, this proposal aims to delineate the different 3D microanatomy and morphology of some patterns that are challenging to interpret and differentiate through traditional 2D histological evaluation, such as papillary and lepidic adenocarcinoma growth patterns. Classification of the histological subtypes based on 2D histology sections can be ambiguous, as shown by suboptimal inter-observer consensus when determining predominant histological subtypes in FFPE lung adenocarcinoma tissue specimens. Hence, micro-CT-based 3D imaging of the lung specimens could aid classification of histological subtypes by providing more comprehensive sampling of the entire tissue block and yielding detail relevant for subtype classification that might not be visible in 2D sections alone.

This prospective phase II study is to determine the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab maintenance therapy after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced lung adenocarcinoma
