Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This study will give comparison of the bone pain remission and the adverse reaction of Zoledronic acid combine with High dose fractionation radiotherapy(30Gy/10f) and Zoledronic acid combine with low dose fractionation radiotherapy(15Gy/5f) . The purpose of this trial is to prove whether Zoledronic acid combine radiotherapy can reduce radiotherapy dose in treatment of non-small cell lung cancer bone metastasis'pain relief or not.

This research study is evaluating two drugs, alectinib and bevacizumab, as possible treatments for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

This is a Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter Phase III Study Comparing Efficacy and Safety of LY01008 (Recombinant Humanized Anti-Human Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Monoclonal Antibody Injection) and Bevacizumab Combined with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin for Treatment of Naïve Subjects with Metastatic or Recurrent Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This is a single arm, multi-centre, phase II open label study of nivolumab with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early stage non-small cell lung cancer. SBRT will be delivered in either 3 or 5 fractions. A flat dose of 240 mg nivolumab infusion will begin after the final fraction of SBRT, within 24 hours and typically on the same day. Nivolumab will subsequently be given every 2 weeks at a flat dose of 240 mg until 1 year of total treatment unless any study drug discontinuation criteria are met. Assessment of toxicities will be performed at each clinic visit during treatment, at 30 days after the final nivolumab infusion and until 100 days after the final nivolumab infusion. Changes in spirometry values and PFTs will be assessed throughout the trial. Relapse rates will be assessed with staging CT scans at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months post SBRT. An exploratory assessment will be made of the effect pre-treatment pulmonary function tests (PFTs) have on outcome measures.

EGFR (ErbB1) mutations define a lung cancer subtype with exquisite sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). While in-frame deletion in exon 19 (Del19) and a point mutation (L858R) in exon 21 are the two most common sensitizing EGFR mutations in NSCLC, approximately 10% of EGFR mutation-positive tumors harbor uncommon mutations. These mutations represent a heterogeneous group of rare molecular alterations (or combinations) within exons 18-21, whose oncogenicity and sensitivity to EGFR TKIs may vary and has not been prospectively studied. Recently, a retrospective analysis reported that overall response rate of EGFR TKI (gefitinib or erlotinib) treatment was about 10% or less in Korean NSCLC patients with uncommon EGFR mutation other than del19, L858R and T790M [11]. In preclinical data, the potency of AZD9291 against uncommon EGFR mutants other than exon 20 insertion mutation was fairly good. Based on the result, in this study, we try to evaluate the efficacy of AZD9291, the potent irreversible inhibitor, in NSCLC patients with harboring uncommon EGFR mutations.

This is a randomized phase III trial that will randomize elderly patients(70 years of age and older) who are not considered eligible for standard doublet or triplet regimens. In a 2:1 fashion, patients will be randomized to the customization arm or the standard arm, respectively. This trial will be offered to patients who are previously untreated for stage IV NSCLC. The primary objective is to evaluate if chemotherapy selection based on histology and tumoral molecular determinants ERCC1, RRM1 and TS (arm A, the experimental arm) results in superior outcome in elderly patients with untreated, advanced NSCLC compared to standard of care treatments (arm B, the standard arm).

Lung cancer (LC) remains a leading cause of death among cancers worldwide. Though radiotherapy is one of the most frequently used treatments, it increases side-effects (pain, fatigue) and inflammation, possibly leading to further tumorigenesis of surviving cancer cells. The purpose of this study is to test the effects of transcutaneous auricular VNS vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS), known to reduce inflammation, on radiotherapy-induced inflammation and other side-effects in LC patients undergoing radiotherapy. In this feasibility study 12 patients with NSCLC stage III (A/B) receiving radiotherapy will be enrolled. Our primary endpoint is the effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on inflammatory levels (such as CRP and cytokines), immunological factors (neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes) and the tumor marker CEA. Our secondary endpoint is the psychological well-being and quality of life of the patients during their radiotherapy treatment.

Immunotherapy has made rapid progress in melanoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and bladder cancer, etc. Preclinical data suggested that the use of anti-PD-1 antibody in combination with CTLA-4 receptor blockers may increase antitumor activity. The CheckMate-012 study showed that nivolumab and ipilimumab combination therapy achieved an overall response rate of 43% in unselected patients with non-small cell lung cancer, compared with 23% in the nivolumab monotherapy group; and in the PD-L1 positive subgroup, nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab showed a response rate of 57%, while nivolumab alone was 28%. This showed that the combination therapy of nivolumab and ipilimumab can increase the efficacy, but the adverse events of grade 3 or above of combination therapy reach 37%. The toxic side effects limit the widespread use of nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab therapy. However, since the action of ipilimumab is limited to the initiation of the immune response (antigen presentation and immune cell activation), and its long half-time of 15.4 days, ipilimumab can used as an induction therapy, following by the PD1 monoclonal antibody. This phase I study is aimed to evaluated the safety and efficacy of CTLA-4 antibody followed by PD-1 antibody in patients with recurrent or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy combined with dendritic activated cytokine-induced killer cell (D-CIK) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The development of anti-angiogenesis drugs has led to renewed enthusiasm in lung cancer treatments. Apatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor which selectively inhibits the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2). Etoposide is an oral preparation for lung cancer which is recommended by NCCN guideline. The investigators wondered whether these two drugs have synergistic effects when treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients who failed to previous at least 2nd line treatments. Thus, the aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with etoposide in heavily pretreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
