Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

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.

Novartis-sponsored, open-label, multi-center, interventional ETP to provide LDK378 to patients with ALK (+)NSCLC, who have been pre-treated with an ALK inhibitor; except in countries where ALK inhibitors are not approved or available. The protocol will further evaluate the safety of LDK378 in patients with ALK(+) NSCLC.

To detect resistance gene from serially collected plasma DNA in non-small cell lung cancer harbouring EGFR activating mutation who are being treated with EGFR TKIs by using castPCR method.

This study aims to collect real world outcomes of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) for lung cancer (lobectomy, wedge resection) using ECHELON FLEX™ Powered ENDOPATH® Staplers 45 mm and/or 60 mm (study devices).

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

There are some risks of pulmonary edema in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy with one lung ventilation. The overloading of fluid administration could be related to the development of pulmonary edema in patents after thoracic surgery. But fluid restriction may cause major organ hypoperfusion during the surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of stroke volume variation as an indicator for a fluid responsiveness in patient who receives pulmonary lobectomy via thoracotomy.

Investigators will evaluate determinants of the patients' care type : palliative, medical or intensive care. The place of patient or family on care's decision will be noticed. Investigators will evaluate 3 month-survival and patients' feelings (visit with a psychologist) according to type of care they benefited.

The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate EBUS elastography strain ratio in assessment of mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with suspicion for lung cancer for the first time. Strain ratios of mediastinal lymph nodes will be compared with EBUS B-mode features and with tissue diagnosis as a gold standard.

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.

Dual-energy CT (DECT) provides information on the blood volume in tumors and lymph nodes. As tumors respond to treatment, preliminary data suggests that the blood volumes changes as well. Investigators are therefore using DECT to test whether it can be used on radiation treatment to rapidly assess response to treatment.
