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

This is a Phase 1b, open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation and dose expansion study designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary antitumor activity of furmonertinib in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating, including uncommon, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) or Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) mutations. Patients will be enrolled into one of 2 stages: Stage 1 (Dose Escalation and Backfill Cohorts) and Stage 2 (Dose Expansion).

Lung cancer represents the most frequent neoplastic disease worldwide, with an annual incidence of over 2 million cases, which represents 11.6% of all cancer diagnoses. Further, it constitutes the main cause of cancer-related deaths. Among the lung cancer types, non-small cell lung cancer represents 80-85% of cases, and the majority of patients are diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic disease, and 5-year survival rates remain discouraging in most world regions, ranging from 8-18%. Advances in molecular biology have led to the discovery of several molecular targets and development of targeted therapy for patients with specific molecular subtypes of NSCLC. One of the most widely studied is the epidermic growth factor receptor (EGFR), which has been long recognized as a key modulator for specific tumor cell functions, and thus it has been used in drug development strategies. Mutations in the EGFR gene are reported in 15% of all NSCLC cases, though incidence varies widely and in Mexico up to 34% of patients present with tumors with EGFR mutations. Treatment of patients with tumors with these characteristics is based on specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), achieving higher objective response rates and improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared with chemotherapy-based schemes. Nonetheless, despite the initial response, most patients treated with TKIs will eventually develop resistance mechanisms and present progressive disease. Consequently, the development of novel strategies to overcome TKI resistance and improve PFS of patients with NSCLC with epidermic growth factor receptor mutations (EGFRm) is priority. Up to 30% of patients with NSCLC present with somatic mutations in the liver kinase B1 (LKB1) gene, which acts as a tumor suppressor through inhibition of mammilian target of rapamycin (mTOR). In a study which included 24 patients with LKB1 expression who received treatment with metformin + TKIs, overall survival was improved significantly, and therefore it is important to evaluate LKB1 expression in addition to mutations which could be related with treatment response in patients given metformin plus antineoplastic agents. LKB1 can activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling through specific phosphorylations at aminoacid residues. AMPK can regulate cell cycle, cell proliferation and cell survival in NSCLC. Recently, the loss of expression of LKB1 has been associated with a reduced activation in AMPK using in vivo models, and increase in tumor necrosis after treatment with bevacizumab. The expression of AMPK has also been evaluated in NSCLC, a study which included 99 samples concluded that increased AMPK expression was associated with worse overall survival. Nonetheless, the association between AMPK expression and metformin treatment has not been ascertained. Metformin is a biguanide used as treatment for type 2 diabetes. Additionally, several studies have identified a reduced incidence and mortality from diverse neoplasms in patients treated with metformin. In vitro studies have shown that metformin is cytotoxic in lung adenocarcinoma cells, producing a cell cycle arrest at G0 and G1, and it inhibits resistance to TKIs induced by Epithelial-Mesenchymal transition (EMT). Retrospective trials have also provided evidence as to the benefit of metformin in patients undergoing treatment for NSCLC. Several prospective trials have evaluated the concurrent use of metformin plus TKIs for patients with lung adenocarcinoma, though results have been controversial. This randomized, phase 3 study will evaluate the PFS in patients with NSCLC with EGFR mutations undergoing treatment with TKIs plus placebo vs. TKIs plus metformin.

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best doses of capmatinib plus trametinib when given together for the treatment of patients with MET exon 14 skipping mutation non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Capmatinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Trametinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of cancer cells. Capmatinib and trametinib are "targeted therapies." These targeted therapies work by detecting and targeting a mutation in the MET gene. Giving Capmatinib and trametinib may kill more tumor cells in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

This is a prospective, open-label, multi-cohort, non-randomized, multicenter phase 2 study evaluating LN-145 in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer

CONCORDE is a multi-institution, multi-arm, Phase IB study that will determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and safety profiles of different DNA damage repair inhibitors (DDRis) when given in an open label fashion in combination with fixed dose curative intent radiotherapy (RT) in patients with stage IIB/IIIA/IIIB NSCLC. The RP2D will be evaluated by incorporating the number of observed dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) into a time to event continuous reassessment method (TiTE- CRM) model within each of the experimental arms. TiTE-CRM is used here to take into account longer-term toxicities up to 13.5 months post start of radiotherapy and use these to inform dose escalation decision making.

This phase I trial investigates the side effects of cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and who are undergoing treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib and nivolumab may shrink or stabilize cancer in patients undergoing treatment for HIV.

The hypothesis for this study is that addition of a moderate dose of radiotherapy to the primary tumor and mediastinal nodes after three months of medical treatment could reduce the tumor burden, partly as an abscopal effect, and thereby improving quality of life and possible also prolonging survival for stage IV NSCLC.

There is no positive data on osimertinib in the treatment of metastatic EGFR mutation positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this study is to study osimertinib combined with bevacizumab in the management of patients with brain metastasis harboring EGFR mutation.
