Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Apatinib has been approved as a second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Several phase III clinical studies of non small cell lung cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer and other tumors also showed apatinib has less toxic side effects and better patient tolerance. However, the clinical application of apatinib in small cell lung cancer is still lack of evidence-based medicine. Etoposide and cisplatin chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for small-cell lung cancer. The purpose of this multicenter, randomized, prospective study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib as the maintenance therapy for extensive stage small cell lung cancer after combined with etoposide and cisplatin chemotherapy.

Phase I: evaluate the safety and tolerability two different dosing regimens of Thymosin alpha 1 in patients with advanced EGFR mutation positive NSCLC on Standard of Care (SoC) therapy. Phase II: evaluate the efficacy in terms of PFS of Thymosin alpha 1 in patients with advanced EGFR mutant NSCLC taking SoC as compared to SoC alone.

This research study is studying a drug as a possible treatment for ALK-positive or ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The following drug will be involved in this study : Lorlatinib

The purpose of this study is to test PT-112 in Combination with Docetaxel in Subjects with Advanced Solid Tumor in a Phase I Dose Escalation Study and in Subjects with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

To evaluate the safety, efficacy and immunogenicity of SCT510 combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin compared with bevacizumab combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin in the first-line treatment of locally advanced metastatic or recurrent squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer.

phase II controlled randomized study comparing atezolizumab as single agent to the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab in patients with chemonaive metastatic NSCLC with PD-L1 expression. All NSCLC patients with tumor tissue available for biomarker assessment and candidate for first-line therapy are considered eligible for the study. After evaluation of all inclusion and exclusion criteria and after informed consent signature all eligible patients will be randomized to atezolizumab (Arm A) or to the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab (Arm B). Disease assessment will be performed every 6 weeks.

Non-small-cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer death in Western Countries. Approximately 85% of lung cancers are of the non-small-cell type (NSCLC), with 25-30% of NSCLC being squamous histology type. Unlike nonsquamous NSCLC, squamous NSCLC rarely harbors epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations for which there are directed therapies, and until the recent approval of immunotherapies for pretreated squamous NSCLC, a limited number of traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs have been FDA-approved for use in the treatment of advanced and metastatic squamous NSCLC. A platinum-based combination chemotherapy regimen has been the standard first-line treatment for all NSCLC. Carboplatin is frequently substituted for cisplatin for patients who have poor renal function or who experience toxicities from cisplatin (most notably, nausea and vomiting). Taxanes, especially paclitaxel, or vinorelbine or gemcitabine, commonly complete the standard two-drug backbone of platinum-based chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of NSCLC, with platin-gemcitabine as the most commonly used regimen in Europe in patients with squamous-histology. A recent press release announced that pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy produced higher response rate when compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with squamous-cell lung cancer. Nevertheless, no data on Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) are available. Therefore, considering the lack of data in patients with squamous histology and the lack of information about efficacy of combinations of immune-checkpoints inhibitors versus immune-checkpoint inhibitor plus chemotherapy, there is a strong rationale for conducting a study assessing efficacy of such strategies in patients with advanced, metastatic squamous-cell lung cancer.

TQB2450 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), which prevents PD-L1 from binding to PD-1 and B7.1 receptors on T cell surface, restores T cell activity, thus enhancing immune response and has potential to treat various types of tumors.

Purpose : Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is among the most common cancers in the werstern world. Patients with stage I have the most satisfactory outcomes. The gold standard for treatment is still surgery, but this approach has recently been challenged by hypofractionnated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Therefore, for patients who are not eligible for surgery due to their significant co-morbidity, or for those who refuse surgical resection, stereotactic radiotherapy is an efficient practical alternative. SBRT is well tolerated and efficient, in fact local control rate at 3 years reaches more than 90%. Most of guidelines recommand a dose between 48 and 60 Gy delivered in 3 at 8 fractions and 3 weeks. Biological effect depends on the dose distribution in time and decreases when the number of fractions or length of radiation treatment increase. Decreasing the length of treatment and the interval between fractions may improve efficiency of treatment and local control rate. Moreover, it may improve quality of life of patients. Nevertheless, an evaluation of safety of such shorter treatment course, with a phase I-II clinical study is needed.
