Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

third generation of EGFR-TKIs is the newest target therapy for NSCLC. However, we did not known the specific mechanisms for those non-responders and patients grow resistance.Next generation sequencing is current the most sensitive and specific method to exam gene mutation, diversion etc. By consistently detect the cf-DNA, we could possibly find out the mechanisms of response and resistance.

To build an imaging biobank of 200 patients with lungcancer, including pathologic and molecular characteristics of the tumor (mutational status, circulating DeoxyriboNucleic Acid (DNA) from serum biobank…), staging of the cancer (according to the new 2016 Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) status, the table that classify non-small cell lungcancer) and follow-up informations (Response to first-line treatment (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)), disease-free survival, 1-3 years survival). To propose a simple severity scoring system based on tumor features such as size, doubling time (if available), location, amount of enhancement and necrosis. Such approach has been proposed for glioma evaluation (Visually Accessible Rembrandt Images (VASARI)) but is not available for the lung. The objective is to do better than the Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) staging. To develop and evaluate an IntraVoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) protocol for lungcancer evaluation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the concordance between Positron E mission tomography parametric imaging versus standard PET for the 1 year prognosis of patients with NSCLC treated by radiochemotherapy. The ancillary study will evaluate the interest of parametric PET imaging during the treatment (around 42 Gray) to detect the local relapse of the lesion in order to propose a treatment re-planification or intensification (not realized on the present study).

In order to understand the efficacy and side effects of lung cancer immunotherapy, at least 30 patients with lung cancer who were treated with immunotherapy were enrolled. The second-generation sequencing technology and liquid phase factor platform were used for detection, and clinical imaging and other evaluation methods were used to explore the immunotherapy efficacy and side effects affecting lung cancer。

cases of locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (diagnosed by PET/CT scan and histopathological confirmation) will be screened for sleep disorders by Epworth sleepiness scale then confirmed by full night polysomnographic study. Blood sample to detect some genetic determinants will be withdrawn

This is a prospective observational pilot study to investigate levels of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in plasma from patients with stage I to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who will undergo treatment with curative intent.

An analysis of Low-Dose Cat Scan(LDCT) Screenings for Lung Cancer completed within the St. Elizabeth system from January 2015 until December 2019. The study investigator, or designee(s), will retrospectively review patient encounters, collecting data related to LDCT referrals and completions. Data analysis will focus on the subsequent imaging, procedures, reviews at The Nodule Review Board and Lung Cancers diagnosed as a result of the LDCT.

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world and with the highest incidence in China. Surgery is the most effective therapeutic method for primary lung cancer. Accurate prediction of residual postoperative pulmonary function in patients, especially those with borderline pulmonary function, is crucial for proper qualification for surgery. According to the 3rd American College of Chest Physicians(ACCP) evidence-based clinical practice guideline (2013), both predictive postoperative (ppo) FEV1.0% and ppoDLCO% are greater than 60% predicted are required as a first standard of lobectomy for patients with primary lung cancer. And, according to the British Thoracic Society (BTS) guideline, patients with ppoFEV1.0% and ppoDLco% less than 40% have high a risk for surgery. Pulmonary ventilation / perfusion SPECT/CT has recently become available for prediction of lung function, and it can be used to forecast pulmonary function in consideration of the pulmonary circulation as well as effective residual lung function. Traditionally, prediction of postoperative lung function was based on planar method in anterior and posterior projections of lung scintigraphy. However, SPECT/CT enables measurement of ventilation / perfusion uptake in each lobe of the lungs in a three dimensional way, which may avoid underestimating ppoFEV1.0% and provide confidence in suggesting lobectomy or pneumonectomy. This experiment is intended to explore the use of Q.lung, a volume-based software to semi-quantitatively calculate pulmonary ventilation/perfusion functional uptake and volume by SPECT/CT. We hope it can get a more accurate prediction of postoperative residual pulmonary function to provide better management for clinical surgery.

Subjects will be eligible for this study if they are about to start on a drug called nivolumab for lung cancer. Some patients' cancers respond to nivolumab but a majority of patients do not. To better determine which patients will most likely respond to nivolumab or not, the investigators are testing an assay that tests biopsy tissue to determine if the subject's tumor will likely respond to nivolumab. The main purpose of this research study is to see if this specialized test can help identify people with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who are more likely to benefit from treatment with nivolumab. The results of the tests will not affect whether or not subjects receive nivolumab but may help identify future patients who are more likely to benefit from nivolumab. The study assay is extra and experimental.

Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death and has a lower relative survival rate than other types of cancer because most lung cancers are detected at an advanced stage when they are first diagnosed. Recently, a randomized control trial suggests that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) enables an early stage detection and it has been increasingly accepted as an efficient screening method for high-risk individuals to reduce lung cancer mortality. In 2011, The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) in the U.S. has produced results that screening high-risk smoking groups (who have at least 30 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years) aged 55 to 74 years with LDCT reduced lung cancer mortality by 20%. Based on the evidence, Korean National Cancer Center has developed and published the guideline of lung cancer screening using LDCT for high-risk populations in 2015. The guideline recommends annual LDCT screening for high-risk smoking groups aged 55 to 74 years, with at least 30 pack-year smoking history and current smokers or past smokers who quit smoking within 15 years. The Korean Lung Cancer Screening project (K-LUCAS), a nationwide, multicenter, prospective study started to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of lung cancer screening with LDCT for considering implementation of a national lung cancer screening program in Korea.
