Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This study aims to look at a comparison of liquid biopsy (blood sample) analysis compared with tissue biopsy in patients with advanced lung cancer

The purpose of this study is to assess clinical utility of combined circulating tumor cell (CTC) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the diagnosis of primary lung cancer.

Early detection is critical to improve the overall survival of lung cancer. Endogenous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be derived from many different metabolic pathways. On the other hand, cancer cells have different metabolism patterns compared with normal cells. Thus, detecting VOCs in exhaled breath using highly sensitive mass spectrometry would be a promising approach for lung cancer detection.

Studies on radiation induced patients' skin lesions in interventional radiology highlighted the need for optimized and personalized patient dosimetry and adapted patient follow-up. Measurements using Gafchromic® films or thermoluminescent dosimeters have long been the only way to accurately evaluate the maximum absorbed dose to the patient skin. However as these dose measurements are tedious and expensive, they could not be systematically applicable in clinical practice. Therefore, more practical calculation methods have been developed. These software programs calculate the skin dose using dosimetric information from images DICOM header or radiation dose structured reports (RDSRs). Validation studies of these software programs are rare and when existent have many limitations. Radiation Dose Monitor (RDM from Medsquare) is a software program for archiving and monitoring of radiation dose (DACS, Dosimetry Archiving Communication System) used in routine in the investigator's hospitals. A new functionality developed in RDM allows quick estimation without in-vivo measurements of the absorbed dose to the skin of the patient. Comparing RDM calculations with in-vivo measurements will enable this software validation so that it can be used in clinical routine. Main objective: to validate RDM software for calculating patient skin dose in interventional radiology.

This is a blood collection study being conducted to better understand and describe the immunological blood profile changes in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer undergoing treatment with checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Blood will be collected from healthy volunteers and patients with non small cell lung cancer

This study tailors a shared decision making intervention for lung cancer screening in persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Information collected in this study may help doctors better understand how to perform lung cancer screening in persons living with HIV, so as to enhance shared decision making in persons living with HIV.

the purpose of this study is to investigate over time patients' symptom burden, caregiving burden, and patients and caregivers' need for information on patient symptom self-management at home during palliative radiotherapy(RT) for lung cancer. Repeatedly assessing burden and information needs on symptom self-management at home can help healthcare professionals to design a bespoke service and plan of care for both patients and family caregivers. In addition, I will explore psycho-social and clinical predictors of burden and information needs in patients and caregivers. These predictors can help health professionals to identify patients and caregivers at risk for distress during palliative radiotherapy for lung cancer.

Microbiome in lower respiratory diseases is not sufficiently known yet. The objective of this study is to investigate microbiome in patients who present with hemoptysis, and those with pulmonary tuberculosis, non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD), and lung cancer, analyzing respiratory specimen acquired by bronchoscopic approach.

This is a study of routine neck ultrasound performed by respiratory physicians in patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy and suspected lung cancer

The primary objective of the study is to provide expanded access to and characterize the safety profile of tarlatamab in participants with advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC) after two or more prior lines of treatment (including at least one platinum-based regimen).
