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

This observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tarceva (erlotinib) in first-line therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients, for whom the treating physician has decided to initiate treatment with Tarceva according to the local label will be followed for 18 months.

Our project, established through collaboration between clinicians (Oscar Lambret Center-University Hospital) and scientists (IBL), aims to evaluate the expression of Met fragments in the lung cancer (LC). Unlike previous studies on Met by sequencing, in situ hybridization or immunohistochemistry, the investigators propose a protein analysis by Western blot of tumor samples and healthy tissue. This approach will evaluate the expression of full-length receptor, the potential presence of intracellular fragments, and their phosphorylation status.

The objective of this surveillance is to collect information about 1) adverse drug reaction not expected from the LPD (unknown adverse drug reaction), 2) the incidence of adverse drug reactions in this surveillance, and 3)factors considered to affect the safety and/or efficacy of this drug.

The main purpose of this study is to examine changes in patient-reported symptoms during the first two cycles of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC) and breast cancer, among patients who receive standard care plus a proactive nursing intervention relative to patients who receive standard care alone. Interventions to improve symptom management and prevent urgent care needs in both the clinic and hospital for patients receiving chemotherapy with curative intent are needed to enhance the quality of cancer care.

This prospective, observational study will assess the effectiveness and safety of Avastin (bevacizumab) as 1st line therapy in elderly patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer in clinical practice. Therapy with Avastin and standard chemotherapy will be administered according to the treating physician. Data will be collected for approximately 4 years.

The purpose of this Phase II, Open-label, single arm, exploratory study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Apatinib（500mg/d）with docetaxel (60 mg/m²) in advanced Non-squamous Non-small cell lung cancer after failure of first line chemotherapy.

To monitor the safety profile and efficacy of GIOTRIF® (afatinib dimaleate, q.d) in Korean patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

This is a single-arm non-interventional study (NIS) to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and quality of life (QoL) in patients with advanced NSCLC receiving the combination of nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin as first line palliative therapy in a real life setting.

Background: - Research has shown that the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene is an important target for personalized lung cancer treatment. Individuals who have mutations in the EGFR gene have better responses when treated with certain personalized or targeted therapies compared with conventional chemotherapy. These mutations are more frequent in females with lung cancer who have never smoked, and different ethnic groups have different levels of frequency of the mutations. Researchers are interested in collecting more information on EGFR genetic mutations in Hispanics/Latinos with lung cancer, comparing the frequency of these mutations in males and females and smokers and nonsmokers. This study may lead to better, more personalized care approaches for all individuals with lung cancer. Objectives: - To study the frequency of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor mutations in Hispanic/Latino individuals who have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. Eligibility: - Hispanic or Latino individuals who have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer and who have lung tissue from a previous biopsy or surgery available for research purposes. Design: Participants will provide consent for researchers to examine lung tissue collected from a previous biopsy or surgery. Treatment will not be provided as part of this protocol.

This randomized clinical trial studies enhanced quitline intervention in smoking cessation for patients with non-metastatic lung cancer. Stop-smoking plans suggested by doctors may help patients with early-stage cancer quit smoking
