Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Hippocampus and amygdala are parts of the brain involved in the recognition of emotions, memories, memory, language ... It is therefore very important to protect them during irradiation of the brain. The aim of this study is to evaluate cerebral irradiation with saving hippocampus and amygdala protects these brain functions in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) Radiotherapy of the brain

The investigators performed a multi-centered, randomized, placebo-controlled, prospective clinical trial on the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation program to improve quality of life(QOL) and long-term survival of postoperative patients with early lung cancer. The investigators plan to enroll 236 cases in 3 years (118 cases for rehabilitation training plus traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), 118 cases for rehabilitation education plus placebo), expecting that comprehensive rehabilitation program has a better efficacy on improving QOL and long-term survival.

This is a randomized, multicenter, open, controlled phase III trial. 388 subjects with stage IIIB who were not eligible for radical surgery or radiotherapy, stage IV or recurrent squamous cell NSCLC were enrolled in this study .The subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups at a 1: 1 ratio, and stratified by sex, ECOG physical status, smoking status, disease staging.

AZD9291 is an oral potent irreversible EGFR TKI selective for sensitizing EGFR mutation and T790M resistance mutation but sparing wild-type EGFR. Preclinical studies indicate that AZD9291 has significant exposure in the brain and activity against EGFR mutant brain metastasis. In addition, anti-tumor activities of AZD9291 in patients with advanced stage EGFR mutant NSCLC including patients with brain metastasis have been reported in an ongoing Phase I study. More recently, AZD9291 at a dose of 160mg also showed promising efficacy in heavily pre-treated patients with leptomeningeal disease from EGFR mutant NSCLC. Among 11 evaluable for response, 6 patients had LM imaging improvement and 3 out of 7 patients with abnormal neurological exam at baseline had symptomatic improvement. Compared to AZD9291, other 3rd generation EGFR TKIs, rociletinib or HM61713 has not been reported to be effective in most of CNS disease of NSCLC. Further, previous studies with AZD9291 showed anecdotal case series or undetermined for T790M mutation status, indicating more systematic study is warranted. Based on these data, the investigators are going to conduct phase II study of AZD9291 in NSCLC patients harboring T790M mutation who failed EGFR TKIs and brain and/or leptomeningeal metastasis.

1.1 Aims：This cohort study aims to investigate the clinical value of Hybrid APC for treatment of early central lung neoplasms. 1.2 methods：A total of 30 patients with early central lung neoplasms will be included in this open, multicenter, prospective study. Primary observation endpoint is recorded at 3 months follow-up, and after 3 months patients could be continued to follow up. The data are expressed in terms of mean and percentage. The categorical variables are analyzed by chi-square test, and the four table data is analyzed using the exact probability method. The continuous variable analysis is used by t test. Statistical analysis is performed with SPSS 20.0 software. P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.

The purpose of this study is to find the benefits of combining nivolumab with metformin in advanced non-small cell lung cancer with and without prior treatment with immunotherapy. We will also be looking at the safety of the combination. Nivolumab is currently approved in certain cancers such as melanoma, lung cancer and kidney cancer. Metformin is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat diabetes. In this study, Metformin is being used to treat cancer. This use is not approved by the FDA; therefore, in this study, it is considered experimental. Experimental means the U.S. FDA has not approved the drug for use in your type of cancer. Nivolumab is an antibody (a human protein that sticks to a part of the tumor and/or immune cells) designed to allow the body's immune system to work against tumor cells. It is believed that metformin has immune modifying properties, meaning it can boost your immune system. As a result, it may help certain cancer treatments, known as immunotherapy, to work better.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and the safety of paclitaxel liposome and cisplatin compared with gemcitabine and cisplatin as first-line therapy in advanced squamous non-small-cell lung cancer .

Malignant tumor has become the leading cause of death in humans, and the number one killer in malignant tumor is the lung cancer. Intensifying environmental pollution comes with rising of the incidence of lung cancer and the high mortality,what's the worst that the 5-year survival rate is only about 15%, accounting for first place in the malignant tumors, Exploiting for novel antitumor technology and products comes to arrest growing attention of the governments and businesses because of the uneffectively curbing of tumor threat to people's life and health on conventional three treatments (surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy). Biological and immunotherapy was voted to one of the ten big breakthrough in 2013 by Science magazine, and considered as a new development direction for cancer treatment in the 21st century. The existing immune treatment mainly includes: adoptive immune therapy, tumor vaccine therapy, immune checkpoint-antibody therapy and other auxiliary therapy, and the adoptive immunotherapy was researched and developeded former in addition the most mature treatment among these therapies. Recently, Dr Hu Hong - Ming's team put forward an innovative cancer treatment strategy: using of autophagy role to capture tumor antigen for preparation of tumor vaccine. In this strategy, the blocking proteasome activity of in vitro cultured tumor cells dealed with Bortezomib (proteasome inhibitors) causes enrichment of short-lived protein (SLiPs) and misfolded proteins (DRiPs) in autophagosome,called DRibbles corpuscle. Tumor vaccine maded from collecting these DRibbles corpuscle preparation as, also known as the DRibble vaccine. At present, clinical research has been carried out about Dribble liver cancer vaccine unit with DC - CIK therapy in liver cancer in the second hospital of Nanjing nearly four years,and more than 300 cases has been completed. Clinical research results show that Dribble vaccine has good security, producing stronger immune response compared with the DC-CIK therapy alone. But it is still no cognization for the efficacy and safety of DC-CIK joint DRibble lung cancer vaccine in China, whether it is better than the current DC - CIK immune therapy, needed for further clinical research and expected to provide a better immune treatment for NSCLC patients.

As stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) has been widely used in clinical practice at present, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy compared with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) concurrently with EP regimen(cisplatin plus etoposide) in treating patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer

Concurrent chemoradiotheray is the standard care for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but often accompanying with high toxicity and poor tolerability. Radiosensitization of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) has been proved in preclinical studies, and the safety of TKI combined with thoracic radiotherapy has also been evaluated in several phase II trials. The aim of study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of thoracic radiotherapy combined with TKI in wild-type EGFR patients who refused or unsuitable for concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
