Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma of Lung"

The investigators postulated that the exploitation of the pro-immunogenic effects of radiotherapy with thymosin might result in abscopal responses among patients with metastatic cancer. The research is designed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of patients treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy combined with thymosin alpha 1. An exploratory biomarker analysis in blood and tumor samples is also planned.

This randomized phase III trial is studying gefitinib and synchronous pemetrexed/cisplatin chenmotherapy to see how well it works compared to pemetrexed/cisplatin chenmotherapy alone in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stage II-IIIA(N1-N2) lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR activating mutation in Asian population.

This study was proposed to validate the efficacy of gefitinib as first-line therapy in advanced lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutation determined by plasma cf-DNA.

Objective: the objective of this study in china is to clarify, whether the overall survival is different between previously untreated stage IIIB/IV lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutations receiving first-line erlotinib plus second-line docetaxel/cisplatin and those receiving first-line docetaxel/cisplatin plus second-line erlotinib .

The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy and complication rate between low-dose computed tomography-guided and standard-dose computed tomography-guided lung biopsy.

A single center, open-label, single arm study in patients who have solid or micropapillary adenocarcinoma with pathologic stage I and primary tumor no more than 4 cm. Pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks

The purpose of this study compares chemoradiation and sequential chemoradiation about Lung adenocarcinoma patients with postoperative in pN2 and then determines which therapeutic method is better for the patients.

In 2015-2016, 224,390 cases were newly diagnosed with lung cancer in USA. Of all the cases, 83% are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, the 5-year survival rate of NSCLC patients is 21%, and more than 25% of early stage NSCLC patients, who have undergone surgical treatment, will have a relapse or progression. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which shed from the primary tumor into the vasculature or lymphatics, can be regarded as a new prognostic factors of metastatic process. Thus far, CTCs-detection technologies can be divided into epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)-based detection methods, e.g., the widely used CellSearch® and Adnatest®,and EpCAM-independent detection methods, e.g., ISET® and ScreenCell®. Herein, the investigators used a newly established approach, i.e., CanPatrolTM to detect CTCs in early stage lung Adenocarcinoma cases. The investigator aim to explore whether CTCs detection prior to surgery can be contributive to the early diagnosis, or may help to predict the prognosis and guide the treatment strategy of early stage lung Adenocarcinoma.

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the Singapore population, being the 2nd most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst males and 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst females. Pulmonologists, oncologists and thoracic surgeons are often consulted for the evaluation of imaging-identified pulmonary nodules. These may have been identified either incidentally or through screening. The majority of these are indeterminate and definitive investigation with biopsy or resection is invasive and not without risk. Hence, current consensus guidelines adopt a largely expectant strategy in the management of these indeterminate pulmonary nodules. There is substantial evidence that lung cancer in Asians may be unique with multiple driver mutations, lower age of presentation and may be independent of tobacco exposure. In addition, there are guidelines that recommend that the management of lung nodules in Asia should account for these differences. However, the evidence for alternative recommendations is lacking. The aim of the study will be to identify radiological and clinical predictors that can improve the diagnosis of lung nodules. These predictors may help build a model for lung nodule evaluation and surveillance. Prospective database of subjects meeting all of the following inclusion criteria to participate in this study. Evidence of lung nodule on chest radiograph or Computed Tomography regardless of underlying aetiology Age ³ 21 years old Ability to provide informed consent This study will collect existing or prospective data that is part of standard clinical care from the electronic medical record of patients (ambulatory and inpatient from May 2018-2023.

To evaluate the concordance of sensitizing mutations detected between paired plasma and tissue samples; the correlation between the clonal status of sensitizing mutations and targeted therapy response; and the prognostic impact of the relative abundance of sensitizing / resistance mutations.
