Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung"

Immune checkpoints inhibitors (ICI) are becoming new standards of care for Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) treatment. To date, no powerful predictive biomarker of response has been found. The investigators hypothesize that metabolomics profile could represent a potent biomarker of response to ICI

This prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study will collect and compare data from the surgeon's current Standard Of Care stapler (for Pulmonary Artery/Pulmonary Vein transection) and powered vascular stapler.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most frequent neoplasm worldwide and also represents the main cause of cancer death. However, it represents the main cause of death by cancer. The prognosis of survival at 5 years is poor, approximately 13-15%. Various studies suggest that patients who clinically present with a limited number of metastases, a term defined as oligometastatic disease, could have a better prognosis of survival with a radical treatment, than for their counterparts with a greater number of metastasis. The purpose of this study is to add more information to the current medical literature about the benefits in overall survival of radical treatment of oligometastatic disease in patients with NSCLC and equal or less than 5 synchronous metastases at the time of diagnosis. The outcomes of the study are to determine the global survival and progression-free survival in patients with synchronous oligometastatic (equal to or less than 5 sites) advanced NSCLC undergoing radical treatment of all metastatic sites and the primary tumor.

The aim of the study is to assess current practice within PROP & lung teams, for treating asymptomatic patients with centrally located non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to observe outcomes for those patients receiving immediate or deferred RT. This is a prospective cohort trial. Patients will be managed by immediate radiotherapy (RT) or a deferred approach according to physicians' individual current clinical practice. Baseline and follow-up data collection will be structured to focus on patient-reported measures to describe clinical outcomes in the two management groups. Indications for prescribing RT and dose fractionation schedules will also be collected. A new intervention will not be introduced during this trial. Instead, a follow-up regimen will be offered to both groups of patients, so that RT can be offered to the deferred group of patients if/when symptoms develop, and we can monitor symptoms/toxicities and QoL in both groups of patients.

At present, the treatment of non-squamous cell lung cancer is based on chemotherapy with platinum eventually associated with bevacizumab. A new treatment begins at progression. In colo-rectal metastatic cancer, it was demonstrated that the first-line of treatment could be administered according to a stop and go strategy respecting therapeutic breaks between sequences of identical treatment. During these therapeutic breaks, a treatment of maintenance is possibly better than an absence of treatment. These plans benefit to the patients in terms of efficiency but also in terms of toxicity, in particular neurological. The question is to know if this strategy is feasible in lung cancer.

This study will assess the prevalence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in newly diagnosed patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with positive EGFR mutation results will enter an open-label, single arm study to evaluate progression-free survival and quality of life with first-line Tarceva (erlotinib) therapy. Patients will receive Tarceva at a dose of 150 mg orally daily. Anticipated time on study treatment is until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Patients with negative EGFR mutation results will be offered treatment as per the centre's standard of care.

This study was a randomized, single dose crossover comparison of the investigational product with a Reference Product (vinorelbine tartrate injection, NAVELBINE®). The primary objective was to demonstrate the equivalence of ANX-530 and the Reference Product, NAVELBINE.

To define the optimal dose of sunitinib when given in combination with rapamycin 2mg. To determine the maximum tolerated dosage of sunitinib and rapamycin given in this fashion. To determine the how many times and how severe other toxicities of this combination therapy. To determine how quickly the patient(s) will respond the the drug, overall survival and time to progression for this combination therapy.

The purpose of this study is to validate a Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire for Anemia Treatment (PSQ-AT) in non small cell lung cancer patients treated with darbepoetin alfa or recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) for anemia due to chemotherapy.

To evaluate the rate of complete pathological response after 3 cycles of gemcitabine containing chemotherapy.
