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

Elderly (age 70 years or older) or >18 years old AND poor risk (ECOG 2) newly diagnosed stage IIIA-C (AJCC 8th edition) inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients are eligible to participate in this phase II open label study of concurrent, split course chemoradiation followed by Durvalumab (MEDI4736).

Background: The NCI Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy that involves taking white blood cells from patients' tumors, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then giving the cells back to the patient. These cells are called Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes, or TIL and we have given this type of treatment to over 100 patients. In this study, we are selecting a specific subset of white blood cells from the tumor that we think are the most effective in fighting tumors and will use only these cells in making the tumor fighting cells. Objective: The purpose of this study is to see if these specifically selected tumor fighting cells can cause non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors to shrink and to see if this treatment is safe. Eligibility: - Adults age 18-72 with NSCLC who have a tumor that can be safely removed. Design: Work up stage: Patients will be seen as an outpatient at the NIH clinical Center and undergo a history and physical examination, scans, x-rays, lab tests, and other tests as needed Surgery: If the patients meet all of the requirements for the study they will undergo surgery to remove a tumor that can be used to grow the TIL product. Leukapheresis: Patients may undergo leukapheresis to obtain additional white blood cells. {Leukapheresis is a common procedure, which removes only the white blood cells from the patient.} Treatment: Once their cells have grown, the patients will be admitted to the hospital for the conditioning chemotherapy, the TIL cells and aldesleukin. They will stay in the hospital for about 4 weeks for the treatment. Follow up: Patients will return to the clinic for a physical exam, review of side effects, lab tests, and scans about every 1-3 months for the first year, and then every 6 months to 1 year as long as their tumors are shrinking. Follow up visits take up to 2 days.

The objective of this prospective phase II protocol is to assess the toxicity and efficacy of pentoxifylline and SABR in the re-treatment of recurrent or new lung cancers

The purpose of this phase II study is to find out what effects cabozantinib (XL184) has, good and/or bad, in patients whose tumors one of the following gene changes RET, ROS1, or NTRK fusion, or increased MET or AXL activity. A phase II study looks at how effective a medication is at treating a specific type of cancer and collects information on the side effects of the study treatment. RET, ROS1, or NTRK fusion or increased MET or AXL activity gene leads to lung cancer cell growth. Cabozantinib is an oral medicine that inhibits of RET, ROS1, NTRK, MET, and AXL. In addition, this drug interferes with other cell pathways that also cause cancer cells to grow, form new blood vessels, and spread to other organs of the body. The goal of using cabozantinib is to shrink the cancer and to prevent it from growing Cabozantinib has been studied and shown to cause cancer shrinkage in other cancers such as medullary thyroid cancer and prostate cancer. We thus have a good idea of what side-effects it causes and can anticipate them.

This is an open-label, historically controlled pilot study investigating the immune effect of Laser Interstitial ThermotHerapy (LITT)+ pembrolizumab in adult patients with a primary cancer approved by the FDA for treatment with an immune-checkpoint inhibitor who have recurrent brain metastasis after prior stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

This phase III trial studies how well an antibody (durvalumab) with chemotherapy and radiation therapy (chemoradiation) works in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This study is being done to see if adding durvalumab to standard chemoradiation followed by additional durvalumab can extend patients life and/or prevent the tumor from coming back compared to the usual approach of chemoradiation alone followed by durvalumab.

The researchers think that the study drugs, amivantamab and lazertinib, may be an effective treatment for people who have metastatic NSCLC with an EGFR mutation. Both drugs work to target cancer cells with an EGFR mutation, and this targeting action could stop or slow the growth of cancer cells. The researchers are doing this study to find out how well amivantamab and lazertinib work against metastatic NSCLC with an EGFR mutation.

The purpose of this study is to see if adding pirfenidone to atezolizumab will increase anti tumor activity and reduce treatment resistance in stage 4 and recurrent non- small cell lung cancer participants.

For metastatic/advanced NSCLC patients who do not have targetable mutations, either immunotherapy targeting the programmed death-1 and its ligand (PD-1/L1) pathway alone or in combination with platinum doublet chemotherapy is now a standard of care. However, still about half of the patients do not benefit due to treatment resistance. It is therefore critically important to find novel therapies and combinations to benefit patients who have failed or are intolerant to 1st line immunotherapy. This study hypothesizes that ipatasertib in combination with taxane (e.g. docetaxel) can be an effective strategy. Ipatasertib is a novel adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive inhibitor that has demonstrated robust and selective targeting of protein kinase B (PKB, also known as AKT) in cancer patients. Importantly, evidence from preclinical studies has demonstrated that AKT inhibitors (e.g. ipatasertib) can enhance the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy as well as immunotherapy via modulating Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3'K)-AKT activity.

This is an open-label, non-randomised, phase II, multi-centre clinical trial 26 patients will be enrolled in this trial to evaluate the major pathologic response in patients with neoadjuvant treatment with Carboplatin Pemetrexed Bevacizumab plus Atezolizumab in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma locally advanced mutated in EGFR
