Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This clinical trial assesses the feasibility of creating a 3 dimensional (D) model of the lung and lung nodule(s) from computed tomography (CT) scan images performed during lung surgery. Unlike solid organs (like the kidney, brain, and liver), the lung changes shape (they inflate when a person breathe in and collapse when they breathe out). This makes it difficult to predict where, exactly, the tumor(s) will be on the lungs during surgery. A 3D model may help surgeons better predict where the location of the tumor(s) will be during surgery.

Predicting response to therapy and disease progression in stage IV NSCLC patients treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy, chemotherapy-pembrolizumab combination therapy or chemotherapy alone in the first-line setting.

Despite encouraging results of programmed cell death protein -1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment combined with chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), only the minority of approximately 20% of patients derive durable clinical benefit from such treatment. Patients with stable disease (SD) after four cycles of treatment with PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy (standard of care in advanced NSCLC in the Netherlands) have a low probability of still acquiring a complete response (CR) or durable disease control to such treatment and no other curative standard treatment options are available, emphasizing the need for novel therapeutic approaches. Tumor-specific neopeptides resulting from frameshift mutations in tumor cells, so-called Frames, present potentially potent targets for the immune system and can be utilized in therapeutic anti-cancer vaccination with the intention to synergize in their effect with immune chckpoint inhibitors. Frames are prevalent in NSCLC patients, with 95% of lung tumors harboring one or more Frames. The entire collection of Frames expressed by a tumor is referred to as the Framome. Vaccination against strongly antigenic neopeptides present in a patient's tumor furnishes a perspective of enhancing the therapeutic effect of the immune checkpoint inhibition in NSCLC with expected limited additional toxicities. The current clinical trial is designed to determine immune response, safety, and clinical response of personalized vaccine FRAME-001 based on a patient's Framome and selection of Frame peptides in advanced NSCLC cancer patients after standard first line treatment consisting of immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab as monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy (carboplatin/cisplatin and pemetrexed/paclitaxel), and who attained SD after four cycles of such therapy. The personalized FRAME-001 vaccine will be administered during maintenance phase of treatment with pembrolizumab monotherapy.

The primary objective of this study, DELFI-L101, is to train and test classifiers for lung cancer detection using the DELFI assay and other biomarker and clinical features.

This prospective,multicenter, open-labe phase II study is to evaluate the effects of autologous cytokine-induced killer cell immunotherapy combination with PD-1 inhibitor and chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Almonertinib, as a third-generation EGFR-TKI, has been used for the treatment of advanced non small cell lung cancer. How to improve the progression free survival in advance was a challenge. Our previous study showed that first-line EGFR-TKIs plus microwave ablation had PFS survival advantage versus EGFR-TKIs alone. So we conducted this prospective study to verify the efficacy and safety of the combination in a randomized, controlled, phase II clinical trial.

This study investigates the changes in positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging scans during chemoimmunotherapy and radiation therapy treatment in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Analyzing changes in PET/CT imaging scans may help doctors assess and predict patterns of cancer response to chemoimmunotherapy and radiation therapy.

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in China. Despite advances in systemic therapy and improvement nonsurvival rates for patients with advanced lung cancer, morbidity and mortality remain high. Recently, many studies reported that patients with positive driving genes such as EGFR(epidermal growth factor receptor,EGFR), ALK(anaplastic lymphoma kinase,ALK), ROS1(c-ros oncogene 1 receptor,ROS1), BRAF (V-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1, BRAF)and so on have clearly targeted drugs, which bring survival benefits to patients. However, about half of patients still lack a clear driving gene target, which may have improved survival due to higher response rates to radiation therapy and other chemotherapy medications. Development of noninvasive imaging biomarkers such as CT (computed tomography,CT)and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging,MRI)may not only evaluate the response to therapy ,but also could predict the efficacy of drug therapy and whether the driving gene is positive or not, through analysing the relationship between clinical related data and imaging features to find the imaging characteristics for making clinical decisions, and, consequently, contribute to an improved prognosis.

Patients with recurrence after radiotherapy are often encountered in clinical practice.Patients with recurrence after radiotherapy are less likely to undergo surgery or secondary radiotherapy, and the guidelines recommend only systemic therapy, although the effective rate is relatively low.For patients with local recurrence without distant metastasis, local treatment is still significant.Radioactive I-125 Seed Implantation (RISI) treatment is to I-125 Radioactive nuclide directly inside the implanted tumors, make its rays to continuous destruction of tumor cells, have inside the tumor target high dose, low dose of normal tissue around, and its radiation is low dose rate, in theory, more conducive to the protection of the normal tissue, more suitable for salvage treatment of recurrence after radiotherapy lesions.Some retrospective studies on RISI treatment of NSCLC showed that the local control rate was up to 25%-80%, and there were few reports of toxic and side effects, suggesting that it had good efficiency and safety.Therefore, for patients with recurrent NSCLC after chest radiotherapy, RISI may be considered.And template technology, 3 d printing is a new kind of technology in recent years, can be individualized and human body surface, the guide posts on the the direction of the puncture needle can be accurately controlled, the current data show that in the template with CT guided by solid tumors as well had significantly higher accuracy, as the actual target dose of basic postoperative can reach the design request of the preoperative planning, so the application of 3D printing template helps to further improve the operation efficiency and safety, also has potential promotion effect to curative effect.The purpose of this study was: (1) to observe the efficacy, toxic and side effects of RISI in the treatment of recurrent NSCLC after radiotherapy under the guidance of 3D printing template assisted CT, and to evaluate its safety and effectiveness;(2) to explore the relationship between the efficacy, toxicity and side effects of RISI dose in the treatment of recurrent NSCLC after radiotherapy;(3) analyze the relevant influencing factors affecting the effect/toxicity of RISI in the treatment of recurrent NSCLC after radiotherapy.
