Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

In the China extension study, Chinese participants with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be randomized to receive single agent pembrolizumab for up to 35 treatments or standard of care (SOC) platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin + paclitaxel or carboplatin + pemetrexed for 4 to 6 21-day cycles). Chinese participants in the platinum-based chemotherapy arms with non-squamous tumor histologies may receive pemetrexed maintenance therapy after the 4 to 6 cycles of chemotherapy. The primary extension study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab prolongs overall survival (OS) compared to SOC chemotherapy in Chinese participants.

The investigators will undertake a multi-centre, randomized controlled trial to implement and evaluate a proactive model of care (SMARTCare) during active cancer treatment that incorporates self-management support (SMS). Patients allocated to the control arm will receive care from ambulatory clinic nurses trained in SMS. Patients allocated to the intervention arm will will receive care from ambulatory clinic nurses trained in SMS, in addition to being given access to a web-based, self-management education program and nurse-led health coaching during the first four months following the first systemic therapy administration.

This study evaluates whether EC treatment is effective in delaying the progression of high-grade lung lesion(s) to invasive lung cancer. Participants will be randomised to receive either electrocautery (EC) treatment with bronchoscopy surveillance (=intervention), or bronchoscopy surveillance alone (=control) in a 2:1 ratio.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate if systemic exposure of osimertinib (i.e. AUC) is increased when osimertinib is co-administered with cobicistat in patients with relatively low plasma trough concentration while receiving the standard osimertinib dose.

The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of M7824 in combination with chemotherapy.

A small-scale pilot randomized controlled trial conducted by the investigators demonstrated some preliminary evidence that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) could be a promising self-management method for alleviating breathlessness. Hence, the aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of IMT in patients with thoracic malignancies on dyspnea.

The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy, safety of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) in combination with immunotherapy in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are eligible for an immunotherapy agent.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 10-15% of lung cancer. More than 70% of SCLC patients are diagnosed with advanced stage (ED-SCLC) at diagnosis. ED-SCLC is highly chemo-sensitive, the first-line treatment is platinum-containing double-drug chemotherapy. Although ED-SCLC is highly sensitive to chemotherapy and the objective response rate (ORR) of first-line chemotherapy is as high as 60-80%, the progression-free survival (PFS) is very short, and there is a lack of effective second-line treatment. The median overall survival (OS) of patients is only 10 months, and the 2-year survival rate is about 6%.

As the detection of small pulmonary nodules continuously grows, the intraoperative localization of small pulmonary nodules is in great demand. The intraoperative localization nowadays is usually done under local anesthesia before surgery. There is a certain rate of failure and complication. The result of our early animal experiments show that the pulmonary surgery marker system can deliver the intraoperative localization safely and precisely under anesthesia, and the average distance between the localization and the simulated lesion is less than 5mm during surgery. Therefore, the safety and feasibility of the system require further evaluation in patients

This is a study of nivolumab in participants with advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer or Kidney Cancer in India.
