Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

L-[3-18F]-α-methyltyrosine (18F-FMT) is an amino-acid tracer for positron emission tomography (PET). The investigators evaluated the value of 18F-FMT PET for the assessment of therapy response in patients with lung cancer as compared with that of 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) PET. The patients with lung cancer underwent PET studies with 18F-FDG and 18F-FMT before and after radio-/chemotherapy. The investigators used the ratio of the SUVmax of the mediastinal (N2) lymph node to the SUVmax of the primary tumor (N/P ratio ). All patients were divided into two groups of N/P ratio<1 and N/P ratio≥1, and the survival time was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method.

This phase II trial is studying how well a frailty index and geriatric assessment works in predicting toxicity to front-line chemotherapy in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. A frailty index and geriatric assessment prior to treatment may help identify a better treatment regimen

There is currently a lack of published HER3 expression prevalence data among non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The estimation of HER3 expression prevalence in this population using archival tissue samples and the assessment of associated patient characteristics in real world (RW) data will ultimately inform clinical strategy and increase awareness among health care providers (HCPs) and the greater medical community to improve patient care.

To test the hypothesis that nebulized Pulmicort Respules could reduce post operation pulmonary complication incidence in primary lung cancer patients with COPD. Compare post-operation pulmonary complication incidence in two treatment arms among primary lung cancer patients with COPD required single lobectomy from 3days before operation to 7 days after operation.

The study aims to explore the prevalence of EGFR mutations assessed with ctDNA samples in advanced NSCLC, who had received ≤ 1 prior systemic chemotherapy regimens.

Conduct a prospective study to compare gene detection by ctDNA with tumor tissue DNA via targeted DNA sequencing in surgical NSCLC patients.

The purpose of this study is to compare the frequency and abundance of T790M mutation among the different Clinical modes of EGFR-TKI failure.

This study will be carried out on 40 subjects at Chest department Tanta university hospital The subjects will be classified into three groups: Group I: will include ten non smoker volunteers (control group I). GroupII: will include ten smoker volunteers (control groupII). Group III: will include twenty NSCLC patients confirmed by pathological examination of bronchoalveolar examination (BAL), brush and/or biopsy.

The COPDGene® / Lung Cancer Database Study is a nested case-control study. This study is an ancillary study to COPDGene® Phase 1 and Phase 2. Lung cancer cases, which have been reported by COPDGene® subjects since the time of COPDGene® study enrollment, will be retrospectively verified with additional medical data collection pertaining to lung cancer. Additional 'control' subjects will also be identified and verified as a 'no lung cancer controls'. Data previously collected through the COPDGene® Study, including QCT results and clinical results (medication use, rate of acute exacerbations of COPD, etc) will be used as variables for analysis.

Videobronchoscopy is an essential diagnostic procedure for evaluation of the central airways and pivotal for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. Further technological improvements have resulted in high definition (HD+) images and advanced image enhancement technique (i-scan). An earlier study (NCT01676012) has indicated that HD+ bronchoscopy in combination with i-scan technology is superior to HD+WL (white light) for detecting endobronchial vascular changes. In this study we aim to correlate these vascular changes to histology and hypothesize that these vascular changes are related to (pre-) malignant changes and that the addition of i-scan is superior to HD+ WL.
