Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

In the present project we propose a large prospective study in heavy smokers volunteers based on plasma miRNA profiling to assess its efficacy as a first line screening test for lung cancer detection. The study will be articulated in different phases: i) analysis of 1000 plasma samples of disease-free smokers already collected in our biological repository in the last two years ii) de-novo enrollment of 4000 smoking volunteers, collection of their blood samples and inclusion in a program of active surveillance on the basis of their miRNA risk profile iii) assessment of miRNA expression profile using a custom made microfluidic card containing the 24 miRNA previously identified in the diagnostic signatures iii) bioinformatic analyses of miRNA ratios in the cohort in order to determine which individuals are in presence or will develop lung cancer and in particular the aggressive form of the disease iv) assessment of the best diagnostic and treatment algorithm for subjects with suspicious miRNA profiles v) functional validation of miRNAs as novel therapeutic targets using novel cellular genetically engineered models of transformation and patients' tumorgrafts models.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of sputum and tissue in the laboratory from patients with dysplasia or cancer may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at biomarkers in patients with respiratory tract dysplasia or lung cancer, head and neck cancer, or aerodigestive tract cancer.

RATIONALE: Using samples of blood, urine, sputum, and lung tissue from patients at high risk of cancer for laboratory studies may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at molecular predictors of cancer in patients at high risk of lung cancer.

This is a single center, single arm, open and exploratory clinical study, with 50 cases planned for a period of 3 years. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the consistency and accuracy of a Patient-Derived Organoid (PDO) Model of lung cancer to predict the clinical efficacy of anti-cancer drugs, in order to predict the best chemotherapy regimen for each given patient.

Long-term non-interventional monitoring of diagnostics and treatment patterns in newly diagnosed patients in selected pneumology centers in Czech republic.

This prospective, single-center, interventional study is conducted in order to achieve a biological bank accompanied by clinical data. Blood samples, optional tumor tissue and fecal samples are collected, processed and banked for all the included subjects. Those samples are collected before the start of treatment, at the time of first tumor assessment, at the time of first and second disease progression. The subjects are treated according to standard of care. Clinical data are collected at each sampling time. The primary objective of the study is to identify biological, clinical and tumoral factors associated with tumor response according SOC treatment.

This study will develop an algorithm of identifying patients with stage IV NSCLC and Melanoma who could benefit from cancer treatment they receive.

The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate, safety, and effectiveness of a combination therapy in patients with lung cancer.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is one of the deadliest types of cancer. In lung cancer patients with a tumor that can be removed by surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy increases survival. Neoadjuvant therapy may have advantages such as, it may be more tolerable prior to surgery, earlier treatment may be more efficacious, and it can provide an indication of treatment response. Neoadjuvant treatment can provide pre- and post-treatment specimens for correlative analysis to better understand mechanisms of action and resistance. This pilot study will investigate the effects of neoadjuvant durvalumab plus platinum doublet chemotherapy and neoadjuvant durvalumab plus platinum doublet chemotherapy in combination with abequolixron (RGX-104), an LXR/ApoE agonist, in subjects with NSCLC who are scheduled to undergo surgical resection as part of their standard of care. The purpose of this study is to study how well using a combination of durvalumab, platinum doublet chemotherapy (carboplatin/abraxane or carboplatin/pemetrexed), and abequolixron treats non-small cell lung cancer before surgery. Durvalumab (a type of immunotherapy) and platinum doublet chemotherapy are drugs that are individually approved for use during the treatment of cancer. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has not approved the combined use of these drugs in treating non-small cell lung cancer. Abequolixron is not FDA approved for the treatment of cancer.

Phase II: To explore the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BL-B01D1+SI-B003 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and to further explore the optimal dose and mode of combination.
