Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This comparative effectiveness and descriptive retrospective cohort study will evaluate safety and effectiveness outcomes among commercially insured adults who received a granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) biosimilar or originator product during the first cycle of clinical guideline-indicated intermediate or high febrile neutropenia risk chemotherapy.

This phase I/II trial studies how well patient portal and navigation program work in providing information for Asian American cancer patients. Patient portal and navigation program may help to improve the care provided to Asian American cancer patients.This study is offered in the following languages in addition to English: Chinese (Cantonese or Mandarin) and Vietnamese.

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the Singapore population, being the 2nd most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst males and 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst females. Pulmonologists, oncologists and thoracic surgeons are often consulted for the evaluation of imaging-identified pulmonary nodules. These may have been identified either incidentally or through screening. The majority of these are indeterminate and definitive investigation with biopsy or resection is invasive and not without risk. Hence, current consensus guidelines adopt a largely expectant strategy in the management of these indeterminate pulmonary nodules. There is substantial evidence that lung cancer in Asians may be unique with multiple driver mutations, lower age of presentation and may be independent of tobacco exposure. In addition, there are guidelines that recommend that the management of lung nodules in Asia should account for these differences. However, the evidence for alternative recommendations is lacking. The aim of the study will be to identify radiological and clinical predictors that can improve the diagnosis of lung nodules. These predictors may help build a model for lung nodule evaluation and surveillance. Prospective database of subjects meeting all of the following inclusion criteria to participate in this study. Evidence of lung nodule on chest radiograph or Computed Tomography regardless of underlying aetiology Age ³ 21 years old Ability to provide informed consent This study will collect existing or prospective data that is part of standard clinical care from the electronic medical record of patients (ambulatory and inpatient from May 2018-2023.

Postoperative pneumonia is one of the most common complications after lung cancer surgery and associated with a morbidity and mortality. Postoperative lymphopenia has been recently identified as one of risk factors for postoperative pneumonia. According to recent studies in polytrauma, cancer or septic shock, T cells dysfunction may be related to high expression of inhibitory receptors on lymphocytes.

The study is being done to determine if non-invasive testing (urine and plasma testing) is as effective as tissue testing in identifying epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation status. EGFR is a type of protein found on the surface of cells in the body. When this protein is mutated and becomes too active, it can lead to cancer growth. T790M is a mutation that develops in response to treatment of the EGFR mutation. Participating patients will have tumor tissue (via cobas test), as well as 2 plasma samples (via cobas and Guardant360 tests) and 1 urine sample (via Trovera test), tested for EGFR T790M mutation status. If the results of the cobas tissue and/or plasma test show that a patient is T790M positive, they will be treated according to standard of care, which may include treatment with osimertinib. Osimertinib is approved for use in the United States for the treatment of EGFR T790M mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The Engagement of Patients with Advanced Cancer is an intervention that utilizes well-trained lay health coaches to engage patients and their families in goals of care and shared decision-making after a diagnosis of advanced cancer. Although lay health workers have never been tested in this role, we hypothesize that lay health workers can feasibly improve goals of care documentation and help to reduce unwanted healthcare utilization at the end of life for Veterans diagnosed with new advanced stages of cancer and those diagnosed with recurrent disease.

To evaluate the concordance of sensitizing mutations detected between paired plasma and tissue samples; the correlation between the clonal status of sensitizing mutations and targeted therapy response; and the prognostic impact of the relative abundance of sensitizing / resistance mutations.

This active surveillance aims to collect the safety data of 100 NSCLC patients treated with nintedanib per the approved Indian label within 2 years from the date of commercial availability of the drug in India (23rd January 2017). The objective is to look at the safety of nintedanib in the real world setting.

After a screening phase of up to 42 days, eligible subjects will undergo two whole body immuno-PET scans with a non-therapeutic tracer dose (2 mg) of 89Zr-pembrolizumab; one with and one without a preceding "cold" therapeutic dose of pembrolizumab. For the first 3 patients, PET scans will be obtained at 1, 72 and 120 hours post tracer injection to determine the optimal scan time point and to perform biodistribution measurements and dosimetry. All subsequent patients receive only 1 PET scan post-injection (i.e. two PET scans). The optimal time point is expected to be at day 5 post-injection. Pembrolizumab treatment will continue every three weeks until two years of therapy have been administered, disease progression, or unacceptable adverse event(s).

The study will evaluate progression-free survival, overall survival, best response and duration of treatment in patients with advanced ALK- and ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer who received lorlatinib as part of the French expanded access program.
