Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This is a Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of avelumab in combination with axitinib in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have received at least one prior platinum containing therapy, and in treatment naïve patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer, who are ineligible for cisplatin containing chemotherapy for their advanced disease.

Nivolumab is superior to docetaxel monotherapy as second line treatment in advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, the long term survival advantage seems to be limited to a 20% proportion of treated patients. To date, no definitive biomarker, including tumor cells or infiltrative cells PD-L1 expression, has been demonstrated to predict nivolumab (or other PD1 or PD-L1 inhibitors) efficacy. Ipilimumab has also suggested efficacy in the same patient population. Finally, the addition of ipilimumab to nivolumab has a suggested better efficacy over nivolumab alone in advanced stage NSCLC patients with an acceptable safety profile. In parallel, hypo-fractionated radiotherapy alone has been suggested to elicit the immune system activity as demonstrated by the occurrence of an abscopal effect. Some case reports in melanoma but also lung cancer patients reinforced this hypothesis. Furthermore, preclinical and clinical data suggest that radiation may have a synergistic effect with antibodies targeting the immune checkpoints (PD1, PD-L1, CTLA4) and improve antitumor efficacy. Moreover, it has been shown that fractionated radiotherapy delivered in combination with aPD-1 or aPD-L1 mAbs is able to generate efficacious CD8þ T-cell responses that will in turn improve local tumor control, long-term survival, and protection against tumor rechallenge. Therefore, the combination of single fraction or hypo-fractionated radiotherapy with the anti PD1 nivolumab and/or the anti CTLA4 ipilimumab warrants further investigation. However, a large number of doses, sequences and schedules remain possible. In order to select the best combination, a mathematical modeling of immunotherapy in cancer and its synergy with radiotherapy has been set up. This work provides with mathematical formulas to link the drug serum concentrations of nivolumab and ipilimumab, and the dose of radiation therapy, to the immune response. In silico, the single and three fractions schedule have been found to have the same efficacy while activation of the immune response seems to be better using a hypo-fractionated (less than 6 fractions) radiotherapy in vivo.

This is a phase Ib study to evaluate safety and tolerability of dual checkpoint inhibition (DCI) of durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) and tremelimumab (anti-CTLA-4) with SBRT in the treatment of oligometastatic NSCLC. This study will examine the sequential delivery of SBRT to all disease sites followed by combination of durvalumab and tremelimumab for patients for whom the goal is ablating all known sites of disease. The investigators anticipate that for many participants this will be the first line-therapy. Participants who have received prior-platinum-based chemotherapy and/or any line of prior chemotherapy are eligible. Prior immunotherapy treatment is not allowed.

Apatinib, a novel targeted inhibitor of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2), shows significant antitumor activity in the patients with GC. The purpose of this study is to determine whether apatinib plus chemotherapy drug can improve progression free survival compared with chemotherapy drug in patients with metastatic the non-small cell lung cancer who failed one lines of chemotherapy.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if it is tolerable for patients with NSCLC to receive afatinib before surgery. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

The primary objectives of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of itacitinib in combination with docetaxel and to select doses for further evaluation (Part 1, safety run-in portion).

This study is conducted in two phases. The Dose-finding Lead-in Phase, Part A, will evaluate the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of momelotinib (MMB) when combined with trametinib. Once the MTD of momelotinib (MMB) is determined, the study will proceed to the Dose-finding Lead-in Phase, Part B, to determine the MTD of trametinib. After the MTD is established, the study may proceed to an expansion phase to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MMB combined with trametinib at the MTD in participants with kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Each treatment cycle will consist of 28 days and treatment will continue in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, or participant's refusal of treatment.

This pilot research trial studies circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in predicting outcomes in patients with stage IV head and neck cancer or stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Studying circulating tumor DNA from patients with head and neck or lung cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

To determine the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in combination with EGF816 and of nivolumab in combination with INC280 in previously treated NSCLC patients

This is a Phase II, randomized, open-label, multi-center study in advanced (Stage IVA and IVB subjects per the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2009 Lung cancer staging schema) non-squamous NSCLC subjects comparing pazopanib relative to pemetrexed in the maintenance setting. Subjects should have completed 4-6 cycles of induction therapy with carboplatin + pemetrexed or cisplatin + pemetrexed and have had Stable Disease (SD), Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR) as the best response to be enrolled into the study. The primary objective is to estimate the hazard ratio of progression free survival (PFS) in advanced NSCLC subjects given maintenance therapy of pazopanib (Arm A) relative to pemetrexed (Arm B). The secondary objectives are: overall survival, response rates, safety and tolerability. A total of approximately 200 subjects will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Safety and efficacy assessments will be regularly performed on all subjects.
