Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

AIO-YMO/TRK-0416 (DURATION) is a open-label, treatment stratified and randomized phase II study of Durvalumab, frail or elderly patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with no targetable molecular alterations (EGFRwt; ALKtransl-) and not amenable to cisplatinum-based standard-combination chemotherapy but eligible for at-least mono-chemotherapy with gemcitabine or vinorelbine.

Two Phase III trials showed superiority in terms of efficacy and tolerance of nivolumab in second-line treatment compared to docetaxel in metastatic NSCLC in the general population, so it is important to evaluate this treatment in PLWHIV (Patient Living With HIV) in maximum security conditions, taking into account their specificities and complex underlying immunological status. As NSCLC in PLWHIV is a rare tumour, a phase 2 trial, using DCR (Disease Control Rate) data, would be able to recruit a sufficient number of patients, in a reasonable period of time, to provide a proof of concept of the safety and efficacy of nivolumab in this population. Therefore, we think that an open-label, one arm phase 2 trial, with a rapid accrual, would be currently a crucial approach and a window of opportunity to explore whether nivolumab could find its place in PLWHIV with NSCLC. Such a trial is typically a trial for an academic sponsor, experienced in PLWHIV with NSCLC, which previously showed its ability to recruit patients with such a rare disease as the IFCT did with the IFCT-1001 CHIVA trial, testing carboplatin plus pemetrexed followed by pemetrexed.

This is a randomized, double-blind, single-dose, parallel-group study comparing pharmacokinetic characteristics, safety , tolerability and immunogenicity of LY01008 (Recombinant Humanized Anti-Human Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Monoclonal Antibody Injection) and Avastin (Bevacizumab Injection) in healthy Chinese male subjects.

This is a phase I, single arm, open-label trial that will utilise a Time To Event Continual Reassessment Method (TiTE-CRM) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of atovaquone in combination with concurrent CRT in NSCLC. Twenty evaluable participants will be recruited at three centres.

Background: In end-stage patients when all management options have been used, will often develop compromise of their airways as the cancer continues to progress. Endobronchial therapy options may help to relieve some of their symptoms, allowing improvement in their shortness of breath as they go home in combination with other palliative therapies. Objective: to compare the safety ; efficacy; and clinical outcome of endobronchial cryotherapy combined with chemotherapy and/ or radiotherapy versus chemo-radiotherapy alone on patients with Non small cell lung cancer. Patients and method(s): A prospective randomized clinical trial was carried out on 60 patients with different ages of both sexes, diagnosed as bronchogenic carcinoma non-small cell lung cancer type (NSCLC) . The patients attended the hospital in the chest department, Qena Faculty of Medicine, South Valley University. Assessment of the patients was done and randomly assigned into two groups. Group1 ,Include 30 patients subjected to chemotherapy , radiotherapy and endobronchial cryotherapy.Group 2 , Include include 30 patients subjected to chemotherapy and radiotherapy alone.

The realization of this project will generate an important advance in knowledge regarding one of the most important comorbidities in cancer patients: malnutrition. Currently, comprehensive treatments of cancer patients recognize the importance of the assessment of nutritional status, and the impact it has on the prognosis, quality of life and toxicity generated by cancer treatment. Due to this, it is imperative to offer diagnostic tools that identify patients in a timely manner and, in addition to this, offer therapeutic strategies for the improvement of nutritional status, in an adjuvant manner to their oncological treatment. It is widely recognized that the cachexia-anorexia syndrome (CACS) is present in 30 to 80% of cases in cancer patients and this proportion increases as the disease progresses, with weight loss being a powerful predictor of shorter survival. Unfortunately, current therapies available to treat anorexia and / or cancer-associated cachexia offer only partial results, mainly because the intervention is late and the development of an earlier and more effective intervention is still sought. Mirtazapine has recently gained attention not only because of its antidepressant effect, but also because of its potential benefit in patients with anorexia and weight loss, recently reported in a phase II study. Therefore, it is important to continue its evaluation through a randomized, double-blind clinical trial in which the effect of mirtazapine is compared and it is determined if it is superior compared to placebo to increase appetite in patients with NSCLC who present with anorexia. This type of strategy is a relevant therapeutic option in those patients in whom nutritional counseling by itself is not sufficient to counteract the damage caused by anorexia and to cope with or prevent the development of cachexia.

This study will evaluate safety, tolerability, drug levels, molecular effects and clinical activity of MRTX849 (adagrasib) in combination with BI 1701963 in patients with advanced solid tumors that have a KRAS G12C mutation.

Sarcopenia is defined as reduction in muscle mass and function according to the criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in older people. Initially described for elderly patients, it is also presented as a negative prognostic factor in overall survival in oncology in certain locations (lung, ENT pathways, colon, pancreas) and more controversially for hemopathies. Its screening by measurement of skeletal muscle mass by CT scan and / or PET scan against L3 and by physical functional tests is not routinely integrated despite international recommendations. Sarcopenia is one of the characteristics of patient fragility that can induce more complications, lengthen the average length of hospital stay and reduce overall survival. The PRONOPALL score, a predictor score for survival validated by a previous study, will be correlated with the presence (or absence) of sarcopenia at inclusion for patients with a solid tumor (breast, ovary, prostate cancer , kidney, lungs, pancreas, colorectal). A prospective study on 38 patients with metastatic cancer was carried out at the Victor Hugo clinic in Le Mans between 01/JUN/21 and 31/AUG/21 (SPACE, ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04714203): 25 patients were analyzable on the CT and PRONOPALL score data with a prevalence of sarcopenia of 60% and median overall survival of 14 months (unpublished data), clinical performance and muscle strength tests were not carried out (as in the publications cited above). A prospective study for the detection of sarcopenia is indicated by extending to blood diseases with the integration of clinical tests included in the initial APA (Adapted physical activity) assessment recommended for diagnosis.

Growing evidence has confirmed that the prognosis of lung cancer is not only related to the stage of disease, but also to the physiological and psychological situation of the patients. Malignant tumors are often associated with weakness and cachexia, leading to less physical activities and worse moods. However, few studies that have attempted to investigate the impact of nutritional status on the prognosis of NSCLC. Existing applications of nutritional scoring systems in early-stage of NSCLC are very limited. Therefore, this study aims to observe the correlation between nutritional status and the prognosis of patients with early-stage NSCLC, to clarify the value in predicting the overall survival rate and progression-free survival rate of NSCLC patients, and to offer evidence for alleviating the social and economic burden of NSCLC.

To investigate whether compound amino acid supplementation can further promote protein synthesis and improve nutritional status for lung cancer patients.
