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

Despite recent advances in the treatment of patients with resected NSCLC, disease recurrence and mortality related to lung cancer are common among patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore novel approaches are necessary to improve the outcome for early stage NSCLC. The preclinical studies conducted with vaccine based approaches provide the rationale to evaluate this as an adjunct to surgery for patients with early stage NSCLC. Administration of the vaccine before surgery will also allow for the evaluation of the tumor specimen for immunological responses to the vaccine.

This study is randomized phase III trial designed to assess whether (preoperative) neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin (experimental treatment) improves 3-year disease-free survival, compared to surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin (standard treatment) in stage IB, IIA, IIB and T3N1 non-small cell lung cancer

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for 80%-85% of lung cancers cases of which 60% are non-squamous (NSQ). This study will evaluate the prevalence of mesenchymal epithelial transition (MET) overexpression (OE) in adult participants with advanced or metastatic NSQ NSCLC. Archived tissue biopsies will be tested for MET OE and data from approximately 500 participants will be collected. No participants will be enrolled in this study. Participants' charts will be reviewed. No drug will be administered as a part of this study. The duration of the study will be approximately 15 months. There is no additional burden for participants in this trial.

Based on the unique patented MONOD and Methyl Titan methylation sequencing technology on lung cancer tissue and blood samples, a lung cancer MRD monitoring panel is designed. The panel is used to detect molecular residual disease of stage IB-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer patients underwent radical surgery, explore personalized analysis models, and conduct research on recurrence monitoring for non-small cell lung cancer patients.

This is a prospective pilot study investigating exhaled breath condensate analyses to quantify the variability over time of various biomarkers associated with symptomatic pneumonitis.

Medical study participation percentages haven't always been fully representative of a given demographic. The goal is to find out which aspects of a clinical trial may make it more difficult for patients to take part or see it through. Participating in an observational clinical trial may help patients with non-small cell lung cancer since it advances medical knowledge and may improve treatment choices in the future.

This is a prospective randomized clinical trial with the study cohort comprised of all male and female patients over the age of 21 presenting to the study site for evaluation of lung cancer. The study will enroll 300 subjects, with 150 in each arm. Three sites will be in the study, Mayo Rochester, Mayo Jacksonville and Medical University of South Carolina. Mayo Rochester will enroll approximately 125 subjects. This study does not require subjects to undergo any additional procedures than what they would receive per standard medical care. The consenting subjects will receive EUS and /or EBUS- guided FNA or Mediastinoscopy/Thoracoscopy.

This study intends to analyze the expression of specific sets of markers in tumor samples and in serum from patients with Non-Small Cell lung Cancer (NSCLC) or Stage III or IV melanoma. The data obtained in this study will be used to guide future development of immunotherapies for melanoma or NSCLC patients. Moreover, the analyses will contribute to definition of markers potentially predictive of clinical response to specific anticancer therapies.

In this Phase IIIb, randomized, double-blind, maintenance study, 300 subjects with advanced or metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (Stage IIIB {T4-pleural effusion} and IV) who have SD or objective tumor response immediately following the completion of 4-6 cycles of front line, platinum-based, doublet chemotherapy will be randomized in a double-blind manner to receive either ZD1839 or placebo.

This phase I/II, multi-centered, non-randomized trial is designed to determine a safe dose of PT-523 for subjects, and to make preliminary evaluations on the activity of PT-523 as therapy in subjects with NSCLC.
