Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

AZD9291 Early Access Program (EAP) was available in Taiwan during October 2015 to September 2016, a time period before the approval of AZD9291, to supply the unlicensed AZD9291 for the NSCLC patients who received at least one prior EGFR TKI therapy. At the end of September 2016, more than 450 patients have been under AZD9291 treatment through the EAP. This observational study aims to evaluate the clinical benefit of AZD9291 treatment for these patients who were in the EAP

Hyperion Is A Prospective, Multicenter, Non-Interventional, Two-Cohort Study Collecting Primary Data In Patients With Locally Advanced Or Metastatic NSCLC Of Squamous Or Non-Squamous Histology After Prior Chemotherapy Being Treated With Atezolizumab In Routine Clinical Practice.

The purpose of our retrospective study is to describe which circumstances EGFR TKI is continued despite progression according to the usual Response Evaluation CrIteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) in patients with EGFR activating mutations and acquired resistance to EGFR TKI .We will collect their social and demographic data (age, sex), first Progression Free Survival ( PFS) - from start of EGFR TKI to 1st progression PFS 1- and - from first progression according to RECIST to second progression : PFS2- , Overall Survival (OS) - from diagnosis OS 1 and from first progression OS 2 -, mutational status. We will analyze more closely the mode of progression (site), the therapeutic approach at disease progression. We will define two subgroups: those for whom EGFR TKI was continued at least three months despite progression defined according to RECIST criteria, and those for whom a second-line treatment (chemotherapy without EGFR TKI) was chosen at disease progression. It will be individualized the subgroup of patients in whom it was continued TKI after progression.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of ADC value of diffusion weighted MRI in comparison of conventional treatment assessment criteria in evaluation of chemotherapy. Moreover, the investigators aim to clarify the correlation of ADC value with histologic type and grade of lung cancer and survival of patients.

Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients constitute a significant proportion of the lung cancer population. The prognosis of these patients has improved over the years due the introduction of combined modality treatment, including high-dose chemo-radiotherapy. The brain, however, remains one of the major sites of failure. Patients with brain metastasis suffer from a variety of neurological, cognitive and emotional difficulties that are known to adversely affect the health-related quality of life. Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) can prevent or delay the development of brain metastasis, and as such can improve neurological disease-free survival and consequently health-related quality of life. But survival is short, and toxicities are real, as PCI in itself can also induce adverse effects. The cognitive adverse effects of PCI are not sufficiently illuminated and documented, due to the lack of formal and systematic evaluation in patient populations expected to have short survival. Also, recent attempts to reduce cognitive side effects of PCI by the application of hippocampal-avoidance PCI in order to prevent memory deficits have not been fully evaluated yet. Before PCI can be offered routinely to stage III NSCLC patients in daily practice, the costs and benefits of this therapy should be investigated properly, to allow for well-informed treatment choices.

This study is: A single-center, randomized, prospective controlled trial. To prove superiority of active pain management group compared to control group by the percent of pain intensity difference of outpatients with lung cancer pain. 204 patients will be recruited.

The T and B cells repertoire diversity represent one of the immune defence level which controls the integrity of the organism and determines its ability to recognize and control infectious attacks and development of tumours. The study of the lymphocytes TCR and BCR diversity could permit to better understand how lymphopenia act on overall survival and to improve detection of high risk patients who could benefit of adapted therapies for better care.

The goal of this research study is to learn more about the safety of treating NSCLC with reirradiation using standard methods and to look for ways to lessen side effects and improve therapy. Reirradiation is when radiation is given to an area of the body that has previously received a full dose of radiation.

The aim of this study is to determine prospectively the value of a recently identified proteomic signature in identifying those patients with lung cancer, who are likely to benefit from and respond favourably to erlotinib therapy. This is a prospective study of serum proteomics as a predictor of response to erlotinib therapy.

This observational study will evaluate the patterns of disease progression in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring EGFR activating mutations receiving Tarceva (erlotinib) as first-line treatment. Patients will be followed for up to 12 months after progression of disease.
