Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The main objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to investigate whether a multimodal prehabilitation intervention combining a mixed-nutrient supplement with structured exercise training (MM) or the supplement alone (NUT), against a placebo (CTRL), leads to improvement in functional capacity and postoperative outcomes in surgical patients with lung cancer, at nutritional risk. This will be tested in a single centre RCT of 3 parallel arms, double-blinded for the supplement. Female and male participants (n=168, >=45 y) will be randomized to a 10-week intervention spanning 4 weeks pre-surgery and 6 weeks post-hospital discharge. The primary outcome is functional capacity as measured by the 6-minute walk test. Secondary outcomes include muscle mass, quality and strength, quality of life, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications.

Rationale: An anatomical surgical resection is considered to be the standard of care in fit patients who present with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, surgery is less frequently performed in both elderly patients (aged ≥75 years), who represent the fastest-growing group of patients with stage I/II NSCLC, and in patients who have significant co-morbidity. Following the introduction of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), an outpatient treatment that is typically delivered in between 3-8 fractions, the median survival of all elderly patients undergoing radiotherapy in The Netherlands increased by 9.3 months. Randomized trials comparing SABR and surgery have yet to be completed and results of the ongoing ACOSOG Z4032 studies will not be available in the within 5 years. A recent data retrospective study comparing both modalities has raised interesting questions about the impact of local therapy on recurrence patterns. It was found that a better loco-regional disease control rate was achieved with SABR. Objective: To study the effect of surgery and SABR on both immunostimulatory (with primary endpoint CD8 positive cells) and immunosuppressive cells in peripheral blood in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer who are treated with either modality. Study population: 40 patients with cT1-2aN0M0 either cytologically or histologically proven NSCLC. Main study parameters/endpoints: To determine whether an increase in CD8 activity can be established after SABR in patients with early stage lung cancer and to compare this increase with that in patients undergoing a surgical intervention. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Only risks in participation are the risks with drawing blood. Subjects will not have any benefits. This pilot study will be used to generate information concerning both treatments useful for the decision to plan a future study in a larger series of patients.

This randomized clinical trial studies the Beating Lung Cancer in Ohio protocol in improving survival in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. The Beating Lung Cancer in Ohio protocol may help in evaluating immunotherapies and targeted therapies that prolong survival, have more favorable toxicity profiles than conventional chemotherapy and impact quality of life.

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effect of a preoperative rehabilitation program at home in patients resected for lung cancer, comparing a control group (C group) receiving only chest physiotherapy and a rehabilitation group (R group) receiving both a training program at home and chest physiotherapy

This study is a randomized clinical trial of an intervention to improve outcomes for patients and their family by using ICU nurse facilitators to support, model, and teach communication strategies that enable patients and their families to secure care in line with patients' goals of care over an illness trajectory, beginning in the ICU and continuing to care in the community.

This trial studies how well a centralized care strategy works in improving the quality of smoking cessation and shared decision making among patients who smoke and are considering lung cancer screening. The centralized care strategy is a model where smokers eligible for lung cancer screening are referred to a dedicated tobacco treatment program where they receive both the shared decision-making and initiate smoking cessation counseling prior to their visit with a primary care provider. Utilizing the centralized care model may work better in helping people quit smoking and make informed decisions about lung cancer screening compared to usual care.

This is a phase II, single-arm, open-label study evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant sotorasib in combination with cisplatin (or carboplatin) and pemetrexed chemotherapy for patients with surgically resectable stage IIA - IIIB (T3-T4/N2) (based on AJCC 8th edition), non-squamous NSCLC with a KRAS p.G12C mutation. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether neoadjuvant therapy with 4 cycles of at least one dose of sotorasib plus cisplatin (or carboplatin) and pemetrexed can be administered safely and result in improved MPR rate in patients with KRAS p.G12C-mutant non-squamous NSCLC compared with the historical control MPR rate for platinum-based chemotherapy alone.

The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether a tailor-made nutritional and exercise program including home-based sessions and regular monitoring using an application on the smartphone is effective in improving Quality of Life in patients with advanced lung or gastrointestinal tract cancer.

This implementation study will examine the best ways to refer heavy smokers to information about lung cancer screening.

In this study, providing access to physiotherapy applications by telerehabilitation method and the effectiveness of this application will be examined for patients who have undergone lung surgery in the early postoperative period during the pandemic process in which social isolation continues.
