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

This proposal evaluates cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibition as a means to decrease T regulatory cell activities and thus augment immune responses against lung cancer. The broad goal focuses on understanding how COX-2 expression regulates the malignant phenotype in non small cell lung cancer in an effort to foster an informed approach for the use of COX-2 inhibitors in prevention and therapy for lung cancer.

This retrospective, external comparator study for Lazertinib aims to assess the real-world effectiveness of Lazertinib as the second-line treatment versus platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with epidermal growth receptor sensitizing mutation-positive, locally advanced or metastatic Non-small Lung cancer.

The purpose of this observational study is to determine participants' preferences for outcomes associated with first-line treatment of advanced/metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) using a discrete-choice experiment (DCE).

The aim of the study is to retrospectively monitor the 'gross tumor volume' (GTV) before initiation of radiotherapy and its changes during radiotherapy and to correlate them with retrospectively recorded patient data, as well as with prognostic and therapeutic outcome after definite radiotherapy of locally advanced NSCLC in stage UICC III.

This is a non-interventional, multi-country, multi-site study based on existing data from medical records of patients treated with Gi(l)otrif® as part of the routine treatment according to the approved label. Data from real-world will help to understand if dose modifications are done similar as in LUX-Lung 3 trial and if the outcome on safety and effectiveness are as in trial settings. Furthermore, data on modified starting doses, the underlying reasons and effects on safety and outcome are needed.

At present there are no approved predictive tumour- or serum-derived biomarkers guiding usage of anti-angiogenic therapies in patients with adenocarcinoma of NSCLC.The objective of this NIS is to examine whether genetic/genomic markers (alone or combined with clinical covariates) could be used to predict OS in NSCLC patients eligible for treatment with Vargatef®. The investigations in this study are exploratory in nature and considered to be hypothesis generating. The results from these investigations may help to expand our understanding of the disease and the response to Vargatef®.

Prospective observational study to IDEntify patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC and ALK and ROS1 translocation and to establish their therapeutic management (IDEALK&ROS)

Genetic rearrangements in the Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) gene result in the creation of a variety of oncogenic fusion proteins that drive malignancy in a subset of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) patients. Treatment with the ALK small tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) crizotinib has produced remarkable results for ALK-positive patients, however the current diagnostic tests used in the clinic are not sufficiently detailed and require a tumor biopsy. The aim of this study is to use a new diagnostic test to detect ALK rearrangements using next generation sequencing, which will improve the diagnosis and treatment of ALK-positive NSCLC patients. Furthermore, this test will be performed on blood samples, making it minimally invasive for the patients. It is our believe that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood can be employed as an easy accessible and comprehensive source of information to diagnose ALK-positive disease, but also as a means of monitoring patient response during treatment. Quantitation of the the amount of ALK rearrangement will give information about which patients benefit from treatment and when treatment is no longer effective. The project will be a multicenter study where blood samples will be collected every 6 weeks from patients treated at four major hospitals in Denmark. This study will benefit future patients with lung cancer, as it will improve both the monitoring and evaluation of their treatment. Monitoring patients during treatment will provide more knowledge of disease progression and the effect of ALK-TKI treatment, contributing to a greater selection of patients, who will respond to treatment. This will potentially allow effective treatment to continue longer than with conventional methods

Previous study showed circulating tumor DNA levels reflect the total systemic tumor burden. Circulating tumor DNA levels should decrease after complete surgery and could be increase as tumor recurrence. Few study investigated the half time of circulating tumor DNA in lung cancer patients that no criterion has been established of how to use it for surveillance.
