Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with NSCLC who have progressed on or after treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of 6,8-bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid (CPI-613) when given together with docetaxel and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CPI-613 and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Current smokers who undergo annual low dose CT (LDCT) lung cancer screening and successfully quit smoking derive the greatest reduction in lung cancer mortality. Unfortunately, those at highest risk of lung cancer death- those with low socioeconomic status, blacks, and current smokers- are the same individuals that typically have reduced access to preventive healthcare such as smoking cessation services and screening tests. Furthermore, patients from underserved communities often have lower health literacy, less awareness of lung cancer screening, and a poor understanding of the trade-offs of LDCT screening. In 2015 the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services began requiring (1) a shared decision-making (SDM) discussion including use of a patient decision aid and (2) smoking cessation counseling in order to receive reimbursement for LDCT screening. There is little guidance, however, to help healthcare systems implement this requirement. Furthermore, primary care physicians (PCPs) report time constraints, competing demands, and knowledge deficiencies as barriers to optimizing utilization of LDCT screening.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide and in the U.K alone; there are 38,000 new cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) a year. The new treatment being tested in this study is called pembrolizumab, this is a type of immunotherapy, which works by stimulating the body's own immune system to fight cancer cells. Pembrolizumab blocks a protein on the T-cell surface (one of the cells of the immune system), which then triggers the cell to find and kill cancer cells. This will be given with radiotherapy to see if this combination is safe and effective at treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Pembrolizumab has proved to be a safe and effective treatment for other cancers such as melanoma and lung cancer. Radiotherapy is often given as standard treatment to treat lung cancer, and is proven to be a safe and tolerable treatment. However, the safety of the combination of Pembrolizumab and thoracic radiotherapy delivered concurrently has not been tested yet prospectively

This is a randomized controlled pilot trial of a text-based behavioral intervention aimed at increasing uptake of lung cancer screening among emergency department patients. We will conduct a 2-year randomized controlled clinical trial with a prospectively collected convenience sample of 366 adults who are eligible for LCS but non-adherent with LCS screening guidelines. Adults aged 50-80 will be recruited from a high-volume urban ED and a low-volume rural ED, assigned to study conditions, and followed-up at 150 days to assess interval engagement with the University of Rochester Medical Center's LCS screening program (primary outcome). Electronic Health Record (EHR) review will be conducted to assess screening results and subsequent clinical endpoints.

The study drug Technetium [99mTc] Hydrazinonicotinamide PEGylated Bicyclic RGD Peptide Injection（99mTc-3PRGD2） of this study is a novel radioactive diagnostic preparation for clinical use as a nuclear medicine molecular probe for tumor SPECT/CT imaging. After 99mTc-3PRGD2 is injected into the body, it is specifically taken up by integrin receptor-positive tumor tissue, and the image of tumor tissue can be obtained by SPECT/CT, This can be used for molecular imaging diagnosis and individualized treatment of common tumors. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 99mTc-3PRGD2 for the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in lung tumors. The minor objective was to evaluate the efficacy of 99mTc-3PRGD2 in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung tumors and the safety of 99mTc-3PRGD2 in vivo of humans.

This phase II trial studies how well platinum-based chemotherapy works when given together with durvalumab in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, paclitaxel, and pemetrexed, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The purpose of this study is to find out if the combination of chemotherapy in combination with the immune therapy drug durvalumab would be efficacious and have an acceptable toxicity profile in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Background: About one-third to one-half of all people dying of extrathoracic malignant diseases have cancer that has spread to the lungs. Surgery may help some people. But most people with pulmonary metastases do not survive long. Researchers want to see if a combination of drugs can help. Objective: To find a safe dose of Azacytidine, when taken as a fine mist that is inhaled (aerosolized Azacytidine), together with Bintrafusp Alfa to treat cancers that have spread to the lungs. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have cancer that has spread to the lungs, cannot be cured with surgery, and has not responded to standard treatments. Design: Participants will get Azacytidine by breathing treatments once a day for 3 days each week, for 3 weeks. The 3-week period is 1 cycle. Each course of treatment is 3 cycles. Once per cycle, participants will get Bintrafusp Alfa via IV. An IV is a small tube that is put into an arm vein. Participants will keep a diary of any side effects. Participants can take the study drugs for as long as they can continue treatment. Participants will have medical histories and physical exams. They will give blood, urine, and lung lining fluid samples. Tumor samples will be taken via bronchoscopy. They will have lung function tests. Participants will have an imaging scan that shows how spray particles move in their airway when they inhale. They will have tumor imaging scans of the chest and brain. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after they stop treatment....

This trial is a randomized, 2-arm, phase II study to determine the effect, if any, of the timing of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) relative to immune checkpoint inhibitor (IO) therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread (metastasized) to the brain.

The primary scientific question of interest is whether the addition of ociperlimab to platinum-based chemotherapy and tislelizumab improve progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) compared to pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line therapy for participants with locally advanced or metastatic squamous or non-squamous NSCLC with PD-L1 expression of ≥1%.
