Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Therapeutic progress for subgroups of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer can largely be attributed to the accumulation of molecular knowledge and the development of new drugs that specifically target molecular abnormalities. An understanding of the immune landscape of tumors, including immune-evasion strategies, has also led to breakthrough therapeutic advances.These new options require prior treatment tumoral sampling to identify patients who have neoplasms with specific genomic aberrations or favorable immune environment. Medical imaging and radiomic approach may provides surrogate markers non invasively.The objective of the present retrospective study is to build and validate a predictive model of common molecular alterations and PD-L1 expression in NSCLC using pre treatment PET/CT derived radiomics.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Human Multigene Methylation Detection Kit (Fluorescent PCR Method) for help diagnose lung cancer by comparing with clinical standard method (includes chest CT examination or pathological examination).

This is an open-label, multi-center clinical trial, aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination of oral Navelbine and Cisplatin followed by metronomic oral Navelbine in Patients with advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. The study comprises two stages. In the 1st stage (Week 1-12), all patients will receive combination chemotherapy. In the 2nd stage (Week 13-25), patients who complete the combination chemotherapy with acceptable tolerance and have no progressive disease (PD) will be allocated into 2 arms, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of maintenance chemotherapy with metronomic oral Navelbine (Arm A) or other regimen (Arm B).

This study is a single institution Phase II single arm trial to assess the efficacy of the combination of pevonedistat plus docetaxel in patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer).

The purpose of the study is to determine whether avelumab has an effect on cancer and body in combination with SBRT, a standard treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Avelumab is considered experimental because it is not approved by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancer. It is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein). Monoclonal antibodies are made to recognize, target and bind to specific proteins on the cells that make up your tissues. Avelumab is designed to block the interaction between PD-1, a known immune checkpoint, and PD-L1. By blocking this interaction, the immune system may be stimulated, allowing it to more effectively recognize and attack the cancer. Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a type of radiation that uses precise targeting to deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor over a short period of time. A positioning cushion such as Vac-lok will be used during radiation treatment that is custom made. This custom mold forms to the contours of the subjects body to allow for proper positioning comfort and stability.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of rovalpituzumab tesirine administered in combination with nivolumab or nivolumab and ipilimumab in participants with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Patients with advanced or metastatic, gpNMB-expressing Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of the lung who have failed a prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen will receive glembatumumab vedotin. Glembatumumab vedotin consists of an antibody (a type of human protein) attached to a drug called Monomethyl Auristatin E (MMAE) that can kill cancer cells. Glembatumumab vedotin is intended to work by specifically directing the drug to the cancer cell. It attaches to a molecule on the cancer cell called gpNMB, and then releases the MMAE inside the tumor cell, which in turn causes the cell to die. The purpose of this study is to see whether glembatumumab vedotin is effective in treating people who have advanced or metastatic squamous cell lung cancer that contains gpNMB, to examine how the body handles the drug and the side effects associated with glembatumumab vedotin.

To determine whether the combination of gemcitabine/carboplatin with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is associated with an improved clinical outcome (progression free and overall survival) compared with chemotherapy alone in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC)

The purpose of this study is to test whether 5 fraction stereotactic ablative body radiation (SABR) is safe and improves local control for early state squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. While three fraction SABR is effective for the treatment of early stage non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) of all histologies, it is not safe for many patients. While four and five fraction SABR is safe, recently published data and our institutional data suggests that local control for early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the lung using the current four or five fraction SABR is suboptimal.

The primary purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of canakinumab versus placebo as adjuvant therapy in adult subjects with stages AJCC/UICC v. 8 II -IIIA and the subset of IIIB (T>5cm N2 disease) completely resected (R0) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
