Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Patients affected by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be treated in pemetrexed monochemotherapy regimen for a maximum of 8 cycles. Pemetrexed is an enhancer of some biomolecules involved in the gemcitabine mechanism of action. Purpose of the trial is to monitor the blood values of these biomolecules at different time intervals, to optimize the synergism between pemetrexed and gemcitabine.

Medically inoperable lung cancer or metastatic lung tumours will be treated with fractionated stereotactic radiation using a schedule of 1) 12 Gy x 4 treatments or 2) 6 Gy x 10 treatments.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of physical activity on the postoperative symptoms, complication, and quality of life.

A Non-interventional Biomarker Study for the testing of DNA extracted from tumour tissue biopsy samples, using the therascreen® KRAS RGQ PCR Kit, from patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, screened in Clinical Study (Protocol No. 20190294).

This is an observational multicenter study. A cross-sectional descriptive study of patients with locally advanced or metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer with activating EGFR mutation treated by any first line therapy will be used to identify cohort with a prospective follow-up of patients initiating a treatment by osimertinib in first line A cross-sectional descriptive study of all patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with activating EGFR mutation treated by any first line therapy will be collected at the study participating sites. The study which is transversal will allow to characterize the population of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with activating EGFR mutation treated in first line, the day of first line initiation. Additionally, a prospective study targeting a cohort of patients focusing on patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with activating EGFR mutation initiating a treatment by osimertinib in first line will be conducted to address describe in real life conditions the 36-months overall survival, patients baseline characteristics, disease evolution, sequencing and treatment patterns, and quality of life

This study is aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose of ensartinib, an oral ALK inhibitor in Chinese patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer

The goal of this project is to improve lung cancer screening in high-risk individuals by identifying biomarkers of preclinical disease and disease risk that are measured in minimally invasive and non-invasive biospecimens. Existing biomarkers for lung cancer diagnosis as well as new biomarkers discovered specifically in this clinical setting will be examined. Biomarkers that identify individuals at highest risk for being diagnosed with lung cancer prior to the appearance of concerning symptoms could increase the utility of lung cancer surveillance and the efficiency of lung cancer chemoprevention clinical trials. Achieving these goals would improve the detection and treatment of early stage and incipient lung cancer, while restricting the risk of these procedures to those individuals who currently exhibit the early molecular warning signs of impending disease.

To estimate the incidence of Early Onset Pulmonary Events (EOPEs), defined as the proportion of participants with a peak reduction in DLCO of 20% or greater after commencing brigatinib at 90mg QD.

The level of suction on post-operative chest tubes after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for lung cancer has previously shown to affect duration of drainage. These results, however, are based on traditional drainage systems with water seal and need to be confirmed using digital drainage systems. Hypothesis: Suction of -2 cmH2O is equal to or superior compared with standard suction of -10 cmH2O when looking at chest tube duration and complications.

Hypovitaminosis D is highly prevalent in people with lung cancer, and may have adverse clinical consequences. The long and variable pharmacokinetic half-life of vitamin D makes prompt vitamin D replacement problematic. This is an open, one-armed therapeutic intervention using a loading dose of vitamin D that will be predicted to increase plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations of every patient well into the normal range (> 100 nmol/L) within 2 or 3 weeks and monitored after 2 and 3 weeks of loading and maintenance dose. Preliminary data will also be obtained to identify potentially clinical important outcome benefits for future investigation. The outcomes are plasma 25OHD concentration Vitamin D binding protein and other plasma concentrations Mood and symptom
