Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The purpose of the study is to determine whether Ipilimumab plus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin will extend the life of patients with squamous only non small cell lung cancer more than placebo plus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of single agent BYL719, INC280, LDK378 and MEK162 in advanced NSCLC patients carrying specific molecular alterations. There is a great unmet medical need in NSCLC patients with advanced or metastatic disease. Novel approaches using targeted therapeutic agents for these patient populations with molecular characterization could potentially identify subsets of advanced NSCLC patients who would benefit from targeted kinase inhibition. Study treatments, BYL719, INC280, LDK378 and MEK162, which target PIK3CA, c-MET, ALK/ROS1 and MEK respectively, have shown promising data in either preclinical or clinical lung cancer settings.

BIND-014 (docetaxel nanoparticles for injectable suspension) is being studied in patients with v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutation positive or squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed after treatment of one prior platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen.

This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study to assess the efficacy and safety of second/third-line treatment with nab-paclitaxel in combination with the epigenetic modifying therapy of CC-486 or immunotherapy of durvalumab, and nab-paclitaxel monotherapy in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

A randomized, double-blind, 3-arm (1:1:1) study in subjects with first-line Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC. The purpose is to test the efficacy and safety of demcizumab, when given in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed compared to placebo. The administration of carboplatin and pemetrexed is a standard treatment for patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

This research study is examining the benefit of a novel radiation planning approach on the likelihood of developing severe esophagitis (irritation and inflammation of the esophagus) during the course of radiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy which is associated with very painful and difficult swallowing.

Patients with refractory SCLC. Patients will be treated with paclitaxel and pembrolizumab.

The purpose of this study is to determine if MEDI4736 will be adequately tolerated in combination with tremelimumab in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of AT13387 Alone and in Combination with Crizotinib in the Treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

Surgical treatment is the standard treatment for localized forms of lung cancer non-small cell. It allows a 5-year survival exceeding 50% for complete resection of the tumor. This is a heavy treatment, resulting in a mortality of 4 to 8% and a morbidity of 20-60%. Securing this procedure is a major public health issue. The non-invasive ventilation is a technique commonly used postoperatively in acute respiratory distress and in the treatment of sleep apnea syndromes. Through its effect on oxygenation and pulmonary function parameters, the non-invasive ventilation achieved during 7 days minimum before the intervention could significantly reduce postoperative complications in patients with an obstructive or restrictive disorder, obesity or chronic heart failure. The aim of the study is to demonstrate that the non-invasive ventilation in two pressure levels achieved during at least 7 days before surgery lung resection (lobectomy or segmentectomy) halved the pulmonary and cardiovascular postoperative patients with obstructive ventilatory disorder or restrictive, obesity or chronic heart failure.
