Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tarceva (erlotinib) in first-line therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients, for whom the treating physician has decided to initiate treatment with Tarceva according to the local label will be followed for 18 months.

This is a single arm clinical trial to establish the feasibility of conducting a clinical trial of acupuncture in reducing dyspnea among lung cancer survivors who have completed chemoradiotherapy. Twelve subjects with dyspnea will be recruited to this clinical trial. Up to 10 sessions of acupuncture will be delivered over the course of 8-10 weeks. The primary outcome will be dyspnea as measured by the English version of the Cancer Dyspnea Scale at the completion of the intervention.

This study investigates the most common major complications that result in unplanned additional surgery in patients undergoing vats anatomical resections. Several high-volume European centres participate. The purpose is to quantify these major complications, discuss the steps that can be taken to prevent these events, how they can be dealt with, be it by vats or conversion

The randomized controlled multicenter clinical study of compound Kushen Injection to reduce the radiotherapy related adverse reactions in lung cancer is a phase Ⅳ clinical trials，The main purpose is to evaluate the effect of compound Kushen Injection in preventing and reducing the radiotherapy related adverse reactions. The participants of the clinical trials are patients with lung cancer who need thoracic radiotherapy. In clinical trials, one group of participants is given compound Kushen Injection with chemoradiotherapy, while another group is only given chemoradiotherapy. The period of trials is 18 months.

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be used as a non-invasive means of confirming pathologic diagnosis in early-stage (Stage I) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients scheduled to undergo surgical intervention will have blood samples obtained to test for CTCs. Presence of CTCs will be compared to final pathologic diagnosis based on surgical specimens to assess the sensitivity of using CTCs alone to make a definitive diagnosis.

The purpose of this study is to compare the preventive effect of electroacupuncture and sham acupuncture on acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and then investigate its potential mechanism by using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).

This study evaluates the value of different bronchoscopy combination for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions suspected to be cancer. One-third of participants will receive routine bronchoscopy, while one-third of participants will receive bronchoscopy combined with a guiding equipment and the other one-third of participants will receive bronchoscopy combined with two or more guiding equipments. These guiding equipments include virtual bronchoscopic navigation(VBN), endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath(EBUS-GS) and fluoroscopy.

Bone metastases are common in patients with advanced lung cancer and can have devastating consequences. Preventing or delaying bone metastases may improve outcomes. Bisphosphonates are inhibitors of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. The current indications for bisphosphonates include the treatment of metabolic disorders of bone metabolism (e.g., osteoporosis and Paget's disease), the treatment of hypercalcaemia of malignancy (HCM), and the prevention of skeletal-related events(SREs）from malignant bone disease. Clinical trials also confirm that bisphosphonates, and zoledronic acid（ZOL) in particular, can prevent bone loss from cancer treatment.There is also emerging evidence that the benefits of bisphosphonate therapy in the oncology setting are more extensive. This study will evaluate whether the addition of ZOL 4 mg every 3 months for up to 1 years in patients with stage IIIB/IV lung cancer could reduce the rate of bone metastases ,improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival(OS), and delay time to bone metastases .

The purpose of this Phase II, Open-label, single arm, exploratory study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Apatinib（500mg/d）with docetaxel (60 mg/m²) in advanced Non-squamous Non-small cell lung cancer after failure of first line chemotherapy.

This screening and multi-sub-study randomized phase II/III trial will establish a method for genomic screening of similar large cancer populations followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-sub-study hybrid ?Master Protocol? (S1400). The type of cancer trait (biomarker) will determine to which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to compare new targeted cancer therapy, designed to block the growth and spread of cancer, or combinations to standard of care therapy with the ultimate goal of being able to approve new targeted therapies in this setting. In addition, the protocol includes a ?non-match? sub-study which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the biomarker-driven sub-studies. This sub-study will compare a non-match therapy to standard of care also with the goal of approval.
