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

This study will evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of urinary ctDNA detection and dynamic monitoring during treatment of NSCLC patients prospectively,by collecting and detecting tumor tissues, peripheral blood samples and urine samples of NSCLC patients.

This is a multicenter, observational, retrospective cohort study aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of crizotinib in ALK positive NSCLC treated in real life setting.

This study is aimed at understanding the impact of gut microbiota on efficacy of cancer therapies, in particular checkpoint inhibitors, and using the resulting information to design microbial immunotherapies. Although animal models are of use to determine the influences of gut and other microbiota on cancer treatment modalities, they are limited due to differences between mouse and human physiology and immunology, as well as the inherent differences in gut microbial populations between the two mammalian organisms. Therefore, samples obtained as donations from human subjects undergoing cancer treatment are of great value for the identification and determination of bacteria and their metabolic processes that are involved in the successful cure and remission of cancer by checkpoint inhibitor therapies. The objective of this study is to collect 3 samples each of blood, urine, and stool in subjects with cancer. This is a non-interventional, 2 site study in 100 people who are undergoing any type of cancer immunotherapy. Subjects who meet the entry criteria will provide 5 samples each of blood, urine, and stool over a 12-month period.

This is a prospective, open label, single arm study. A total of 300 patients with primary non-small cell lung cancer treated with PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs) are expected to included . All patients will follow up for at least 1 year. Patients with cardiac adverse reactions after PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment at admission or during the subsequently follow-up period will randomly assigned a random number to each patient by computer random sequence. Patients with odd random number will treat with RASI（renin-angiotensin system inhibitors）, and those with even random number will treat with ARNI（angiotensin-receptor-neprilysin inhibitor）.

Accurate evaluation of activity status is an important part of the assessment of people with cancer. Clinician assessments currently used are valuable but have limitations; in particular, assessment only occurs when the patient attends clinic and is often subjective. Activity trackers, such as FitBits, give the opportunity to objectively assess activity status continuously, independent of clinic visits. Previous studies have shown that a reduction in 1000 steps while receiving cancer treatment is associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation but it is not known if using information from activity trackers to allow early intervention is feasible or if it can reduce admission to hospital and improve outcomes. The investigators propose a prospective feasibility study in people with advanced lung cancer or upper gastrointestinal cancers who are starting a new line of systemic anti-cancer therapy. Participants will receive a FitBit, which is a commercially available wearable activity tracker for the duration of their treatment or 4 months (whichever is shorter). Step counts will be monitored and a reduction in daily steps of >1000 from baseline will trigger contact by the study team and an ambulatory review. Participants will not receive treatment within the context of the study.

This study aims to dynamically monitor the expression profile status of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and the changes in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels in patients with stage III locally advanced unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy or sequential chemoradiotherapy, and to explore biomarkers related to the immune microenvironment and the optimal time point for immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy.

The objective of our study is to assess the risk of immune-related adverse events associated with PD-1 inhibitors use compared to standard chemotherapy use in patients with non small cell lung cancer, using nationwide healthcare database.

The investigators wish to document the distribution of EGFR somatic mutations, and assess the relationship between specific genotype, clinical demographic, therapy, and survival, in a large cohort of EGFR mutant NSCLC. The investigators also wish to comprehensively investigate the relationship between germline DNA and risk of EGFR mutant NSCLC developing, through a GWAS (Genome-Wide Association Studies) and candidate gene approach, and explore the relationship between germline DNA and clinical outcome, in order to potentially identify germline genetic modifiers of EGFR TKI (Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor) outcome.

This is an exploratory study in patients with locally advanced or metastatic Non-small cell lung cancer. Patients who are eligible to apply for Extended Access Program of crizotinib must have ALK translocation detected by RT-PCR, IHC or FISH analyses methods.

Radiation therapy uses radiation to treat lung tumors and metastases in the mediastinum. In order to irradiate as precise as possible, and in order to evaluate the effect of radiation treatment, it is important to depict the lung tumor and the lymph node metastases as accurate as possible. Currently, radiation oncologists use PET-CT for this purpose. However, PET-CT does have its drawbacks, and partly because of this, large volumes are irradiated in current treatment. The investigators believe that MRI can be used to improve depiction of the tumor and lymph nodes and of their motion. However, there is currently no MRI protocol available which is aimed at improving radiotherapy. In this study, the investigators want to select the optimal MRI settings for depiction of the lung tumor, the lymph node metastases and their movement. The investigators plan to do this by first examining 10 healthy volunteers, followed by 20 patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
