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

To study the NSCLC evolutionary genomic landscape between primary and metastatic sites and the dynamics of intratumour heterogeneity over time combined with detailed clinical, histopathological and cancer phenotypic annotation for each patient, in order to significantly improve the outcomes of NSCLC patients (e.g. reduce their chance of recurrence and improve survival).

The aim of the study is prospective comparison of diagnostical and therapeutical efficiency between different methods of mediastinal lymph node preoperative staging in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Two hundred patients with histologically/cytologically confirmed clinical stage primary I-IIIA NSCLC will be included. The patients must be fit enough to undergo at least pulmonary lobectomy. Computer Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) will be performed in all patients. Subsequently, the patients without evidence of dissemination will be randomized to transbronchial and transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound-guided needle aspiration ( EBUS-TBNA, EUS-NA) or Transcervical Extended Mediastinal Lymphadenectomy (TEMLA). The patients with N3 will be referred to definitive oncological treatment, the patients with N2 metastases will be referred to neoadjuvant treatment and the patients without N2/3 metastases will be operated on. The operative procedure will include at least lobectomy with complete lymphadenectomy, with open or video-assisted (VATS) technique. The patients undergoing sublobar resection will be excluded from this study. Final analysis will include comparison of the diagnostic yield and 5-year survival between the EBUS/EUS and the TEMLA arms.

The purpose of this study is to validate TNM-Immunoscore in resected non-small cell lung cancer.

Phase I study. To determine the MTD (Maximum Tolerated Dose) of nintedanib + weekly Docetaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic lung adenocarcinoma after failure of platinum-based first line chemotherapy.

The objectives of this study are to assess molecular testing, treatment patterns and associated clinical outcomes in Chinese patients with treatment-naïve stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in real world setting. This study is a prospective, non-interventional study. It is descriptive in nature and does not attempt to test any specific a priori hypotheses.

Successful treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with radiation therapy requires that the physicians determine exactly where the tumor is in your body, and protect your normal tissue. This study is designed to apply functional imaging, Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) before treatment, and then again during treatment to see if the procedure helps predict how well the treatment works for your cancer and how well your lung functions during treatment. FDG-PET is a modern technology that uses small amounts of a radioactive glucose (FDG) to make images of your whole body and areas of active cancer. A Computerized Tomography (CT) will also be performed along with both of these procedures to help the researchers see clearly where your cancer or your healthy lung is located. The study will help the investigator determine whether an adaptive plan that is applied based on repeat PET-CT imaging during the course of radiation therapy (during RT), can show if there is an improvement in treatment outcome compared to those treated with standard radiation therapy. This adaptive plan may allow your doctor to escalate the dose per treatment and the total dose of your treatment based on the risk of damage to your healthy lung tissue. While increasing the radiation dose, but limiting the toxicity to normal lung tissue, the researchers hope to improve your tumor control.

To determine if Iscar Quercus improves immune function and quality of life among patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Preoperative chemotherapy is considered to play a role in early stage non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) .The use of preoperative Cisplatin/Gemcitabine chemotherapy has proven feasible and without excessive morbidity or mortality in the Phase II setting. The aim of the present Phase III study is to determine whether 3 cycles of preoperative chemotherapy with Cisplatin/Gemcitabine improves progression free survival of NSCLC patients versus surgery alone. Postoperative chemotherapy will not be utilized in this Phase III trial.

The purpose of this study is to explore if the combination of vinorelbine and gemcitabine is better than vinorelbine and carboplatin in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer, in terms of survival, quality of life and need for palliative radiotherapy.

Phase II, randomised, controlled, non comparative study with 2 parallel groups: Arm A: patients will receive induction chemotherapy (cisplatin and docetaxel) followed by a concomitant radio-chemotherapy including 2 cycles of cisplatin and vinorelbine associated with a weekly cetuximab infusion during the radiotherapy. Arm B: patients will receive induction chemotherapy (cisplatin and docetaxel) followed by a concomitant radio-chemothérapy including 2 cycles of cisplatin and etoposide associated with a weekly cetuximab infusion during the radiotherapy.
