Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of Camrelizumab in combination with nb-Paclitaxel in treating patients with recurrent/metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer.

Anlotinib hydrochloride is a multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets angiogenesis-related kinases such as VEGFR1/2/3, FGFR1/2/3, and other tumor-associated kinases involved in cell proliferation such as PDGFRα/β, c-Kit, and Ret have significant inhibitory activities.

It is a trials to evaluate the overall survival (OS) of radiotherapy / EP combined with recombinant human endostatin in treatment of locally advanced (Ⅲ A / unresectable Ⅲ B) non-small cell lung cancer.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Endostar combined with concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) in patients with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Lung cancer, the most common cancer worldwide, remains the leading cause of cancer death. Approximately two-thirds of all patients with newly diagnosed non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) present with advanced stage that palliative chemotherapy is the only appropriate measure. The standard treatment for this patient population consists of third generation platinum-based doublet regimen for no more than 6 cycles followed by watch and wait until disease progression (PD) before the administration of second-line and third-line systemic anticancer therapeutic agents. Patients who go on to receive second-line therapy represent a selected subgroup with an improved overall prognosis. Switch maintenance therapy with pemetrexed or erlotinib in patients with advanced NSCLC without PD after first-line chemotherapy has been confirmed to improve progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) significantly compared with placebo in two large randomized controlled studies. However, continuation gemcitabine maintenance therapy in this setting yields conflicting results in the west, i.e.showing a prolongation of PFS without OS improvement. Thus, we investigate the efficacy and safety of continuation of gemcitabine maintenance therapy for patients with metastatic NSCLC with ECOG performance status of 0-1 and without PD after four cycles of first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin in China.

Activating somatic mutations of the tyrosine kinase domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have been characterized in a subset of patients with advanced NSCLC.The EGFR mutation rate was 30% in Chinese Non-small Cell Lung Cancer(NSCLC). Patients harboring these mutations in their tumors show excellent response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). This randomized phase III trial is studying gefitinib to see how well it works compared to cisplatin-based chemotherapy in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stage II-IIIA(N1-N2) NSCLC with EGFR activating mutation in Asian population.

The purpose of this study is to establish the effects of VATS lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The aims of this study are: To evaluate the early clinical benefits of VATS lobectomy when compared with the axillary thoracotomy. To evaluate the late effects of VATS lobectomy on survival and quality of life when compared with axillary thoracotomy. To establish the normative pattern of VATS lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. To explore the indication of VATS lobectomy for the lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Gathering health information about patients with non-small cell lung cancer who never smoked cigarettes may help doctors learn more about the disease. Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is studying internet-based clinical information and blood sample collection from patients with non-small cell lung cancer who never smoked cigarettes.

Concomitant chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment of locally advanced, non-resectable, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the optimal chemotherapy regimen is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a concomitant treatment using Endostar (Recombinant Human Endostatin), Paclitaxel/Carboplatin and radiotherapy for LA-NSCLC, and also assess its impact on patient Quality of Life (QoL) and progression-free survival (PFS).

When considering 1st line gefitinib treatment for NSCLC, the investigators need epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutational status of the tumor. But most patients do not give us such information at the time of diagnosis, because it requires tumor tissue and some time period for EGFR examination. So, investigators develop a protocol of 1st line gefitinib treatment for NSCLC according to FDG-PET response. If a patient shows 20% or more decrease of peak standard uptake value (SUV) after 1 week's gefitinib treatment, he or she will be continued the treatment. If a patient shows less than 20% decrease of SUV, he or she will be switched to other chemotherapy.
