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

This pilot study will establish non-invasive sample collections, including breath, saliva, blood and urine pre-surgery and at the participant's one-month post-surgery follow-up visit. Participants with suspected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) stage I-III will be recruited.

This study including two parts，one part is a randomized clinical trial design，another part is a registration study.

This is a descriptive observational study, in which data are collected in an epidemiological fashion and prospective. This study does not intend to intervene the current medical practice of the recruited patients.

This is a pilot study. A pilot study is done with a small number of participants to see if a technique works before using it in a larger research study. This pilot study is evaluating a special kind of MRI scan of the lungs called dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). DCE-MRI can demonstrate how much blood flows through the tumor and lungs and tell us how active the tumor is, as well as how functional the lungs are. As part of this scan, participants will receive an intravenous (into the blood via puncture of a vein) injection of gadolinium contrast, a dye that helps us see the tumor and lung tissue more clearly. Gadolinium is approved by the FDA and is routinely used for MRI. The goal of the study is to determine whether DCE-MRI can provide images of the response of the tumor and the normal lung tissue to SBRT and to potentially hep improve treatment-planning methods for patients treated with SBRT in the future. We will also study how the final DCE-MRI scan compares with another form of imaging, called 4-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT), that looks at the breathing capacity of the lungs. Although we are researching the usefulness of DCE-MRI in early stage non-small cell lung cancer treated with SBRT in this study, DCE-MRI with the dye injection is not an experimental technology and is routinely used in the clinic for other indications. The 4D-CT scan is also not experimental and is used for radiation planning and imaging of the lungs. The SBRT you will receive will be standard treatment and will not be affected by your participation in this study or by these DCE-MRI scans. That means that the findings on the scan will not be used to alter your planned treatment in any way. Additionally, participants will undergo the routine work-up prior to SBRT and surveillance studies after treatment is complete.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the usefulness and accuracy of the "LIFE-Lung Bronchoscopy" to identify early changes in lung tissues that show precancerous, cancer in situ (just beginning and not spread) and microscopic invasive cancer lesions versus the ability of the standard "White Light Bronchoscopy" to identify the same. This will be done as a part of routine monitoring bronchoscopy. Patients who have had a surgical resection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and with no current evidence of disease (NED) will be eligible. Also eligible are patients who have had head or neck squamous cell carcinoma with radical head and/or neck dissection and who are currently NED. Patients with severe chronic, obstructive, pulmonary disease shown by pulmonary function testing abnormalities will also be eligible. In addition to the specialized bronchoscopy, doctors will be investigating the use of imaging spectroscopy. This is using an optical (visualizing) procedure to measure the light reflected back from tissue. Different lesions and normal tissues reflect light differently and in specific color wavelengths. By using measurements over time (different examinations/bronchoscopies) very small changes can be seen. This may allow eventually for very early diagnosing of precancerous or cancer in situ lesions, allowing for earlier treatment.

A Phase I, Open-Label, Two Parts Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability,Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Anti-tumour Activity of AZD9291 in Chinese Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer who have Progressed Following Prior Therapy with an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Agent Study Objective: 1, Primary Objective To characterise the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD9291 and its metabolites (AZ5104 and AZ7550) after single then multiple doses of AZD9291 administered orally once daily in Chinese patients with locally advanced or metastatic non small cell lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed following prior therapy with an approved Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (EGFR TKI) agent. 2, Secondary objective(s) To investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD9291 when given orally to Chinese patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed following prior therapy with an approved EGFR TKI agent. To obtain a preliminary assessment of the anti-tumour activity of AZD9291 by evaluation of tumour response using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.1.

This randomized clinical trial studies prophylactic colony stimulating factor management in patients with breast, colorectal or non-small cell lung cancer receiving chemotherapy and with risk of developing febrile neutropenia. Patients receiving chemotherapy may develop febrile neutropenia. Febrile neutropenia is a condition that involves fever and a low number of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood. Febrile neutropenia increases the risk of infection. Colony stimulating factors are medications sometimes given to patients receiving chemotherapy to prevent febrile neutropenia. Colony stimulating factors are given to patients based on guidelines. Some clinics have an automated system that helps doctors decide when to prescribe them when there is a high risk of developing febrile neutropenia. Gathering information about the use of an automated system to prescribe prophylactic colony stimulating factor may help doctors use colony stimulating factor when it is needed.

The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the powered vascular stapler for transection of the pulmonary artery (PA) and pulmonary vein (PV) during Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy.

This clinical trial studies a palliative care intervention in improving symptom control and quality of life in patients with stage II-IV non-small cell lung cancer and their family caregivers. Palliative care programs can provide patients and their caregivers with information on how to manage their symptoms, maintain health and well-being, and access supportive care services. An interdisciplinary palliative care model may effectively link lung cancer patients to the appropriate supportive care services in a timely fashion.

Currently, it is the standard of care practice to perform daily routine CXR when a chest tube is in situ following pulmonary resection. However, previous research as well as experience of thoracic surgeons suggested this kind of management has poor diagnostic and therapeutic value. Eliminating daily routine CXR for adult patients having undergone pulmonary surgery might decrease the frequency of radiation exposure and hospitalization costs per patient without increasing reintervention rates, length of hospital stays, readmission rates or any adverse events.
