Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to make a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes by CP-EBUS elastography for the first time, and to make a benign and malignant diagnosis.

To characterize the fecal, skin, nasal and oral microbiome and metabolome in patients with lung cancer and other malignancies, and correlate to treatment response and toxicities of various therapies including immunotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy, etc.

Non-interventional, multi-country, multi-centre cohort study based on existing data from medical records (paper or electronic) or electronic health records of patients with advanced NSCLC harbouring EGFR mutations and treated with an EGFR-TKI

The purpose of this study to test measures of physical and psychological resilience while using Self-System therapy (SST), to treat depression and lung-cancer-related distress in older adults (65 years and older).

It is necessary to develop a technique of sentinel lymph node detection using radioactive fluorescent dual contrast agent consisting targetable albumin for specific marker to accurately determine whether or not the sentinel lymph nodes have metastasized or non-metastasized. Therefore, investigators would like to conduct a clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of radioactive fluorescent dual contrast agent to detect sentinel lymph nodes for patient-specific minimally invasive surgery.

This study assesses the effectiveness of transbronchial cryobiopsy guided by 3-dimensional fluoroscopy. Transbronchial cryobiopsy is a procedure to collect lung tissue. The main side effect seen after a transbronchial cryobiopsy is pneumothorax (air leaking out of the lung, which may cause a completely or partially collapsed lung). The standard imaging scans used during this procedure are 2-dimensional (like a photo), which can make it difficult for the doctor to know exactly where the biopsy tool is during the procedure. If the exact location of the device is not clear, a patient can be at a higher risk of pneumothorax. Using a 3-dimensional imaging technique may help to decrease the risk of pneumothorax during transbronchial cryobiopsy.

The purpose of the trial is to find some biomarkers to predict the efficacy of Atezolizumab plus etoposide and platinum based chemotherapy as the first line treatment in extensive stage small cell lung cancer. Mainly observe the patient's progression free survival time after treatment.

This is an observational, non-interventional, single-country, multi center, retrospective cohort study, based on real world data collection, of patients with locally advanced or metastatic Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who had been treated with Afatinib at any line.

In the management of non-small cell lung cancer of the adenocarcinoma type, different therapeutic strategies can be proposed. These strategies are defined according to the results of a biological analysis of blood and/or tissue samples from the lung tumor. Mutations in the tumor DNA are sought. Thus, patients with sensitizing mutations can benefit from a treatment with a 3rd generation tyroine kinase inhibitor (TKI) whose efficacy has been widely demonstrated. Patients without tumor mutations will not benefit. However, resistance to TKIs appears after a certain time, often linked to the appearance of new mutations in the tumor. For this reason, blood biologic analyses are regularly performed to search for the emergence of resistance mutations and to propose a therapeutic alternative as soon as possible. These analyses are performed routinely in the laboratory. In the course of these analyses, the investigators have identified conventional mutations but also new mutations not previously described in the literature. Our objective is to list all the molecular abnormalities revealed during blood biological analyses, to determine their frequency and to study whether certain abnormalities can be linked to resistance to TKI.

Lung cancer is a global problem. Worldwide, 1.2 million people die of lung cancer each year. In Iraq, lung cancer is the most common malignancy after breast cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death. Tobacco smoking plays a major role in lung cancer; it is reported in 85-90% of lung cancer patients yet environmental tobacco smoke, environmental and domestic air pollution, work-related risk factors, radon exposure, and viruses may also have an impact on lung cancer incidence rates. Early detection of the disease before patients develop symptoms considers the best way to improve patient outcomes. IT LUCAS is designed to evaluate the utility of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening in early detection and management of lung cancer in high-risk people.
