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

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be used as a non-invasive means of confirming pathologic diagnosis in early-stage (Stage I) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients scheduled to undergo surgical intervention will have blood samples obtained to test for CTCs. Presence of CTCs will be compared to final pathologic diagnosis based on surgical specimens to assess the sensitivity of using CTCs alone to make a definitive diagnosis.

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.

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.

This study will evaluate feasibility and acceptability of providing the Dignity Therapy/Life Plan intervention to pancreatic or advanced lung cancer patients presenting for treatment in the outpatient medical oncology setting. Investigators hypothesize that providing dignity therapy to this population will be feasible.

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)

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.

This pilot, non-interventional, observational, Web-based, prospective cohort study is designed to collect self-reported safety and effectiveness and genetic data from subjects with locally recurrent breast cancer (BC) or metastatic breast cancer (MBC), metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC), metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (MNSCLC), recurrent glioblastoma (RGBM), or metastatic renal cell cancer (MRCC) in the United States who have been previously treated with Avastin (bevacizumab). The cohort will be composed of male and female subjects who have been diagnosed with locally recurrent BC or MBC, MCRC, MNSCLC, RGBM, or MRCC who have received treatment with bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy, which started prior to or up to 31 December 2012. Participants will be self-referred to this study. They will be recruited online via a number of sources, including through the involvement of patient advocacy groups, social media tools, traditional media, physicians, and events to raise awareness of this study. After appropriate informed consent and authorization are obtained, data will be collected directly from subjects in an online survey. Participants will be contacted electronically to complete quarterly follow-up surveys. The follow-up period will be 1 year from responding to the baseline survey. DNA collection will be performed as part of this study. DNA will be extracted from saliva, which will be provided by the subject utilizing a collection kit sent to the participants for at-home use.

This prospective observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of second-line Tarceva (erlotinib) in patients with previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer with confirmed wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene. The aim of the study is to identify from baseline clinical and demographic patient characteristics prognostic factors related to overall survival with second-line Tarceva treatment. Data will be collected from eligible patients for up to 2 years.

The purpose of this trial is to compare the evolution of patients receiving first line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic lung cancer, taking into account if they were requested or not the EGFR mutation test as part of the diagnosis and treatment strategy. There is no assignment to any particular therapeutic strategy.
