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

Objective: L-[3-18F]-α-methyltyrosine (FMT) is an amino-acid tracer for PET. We evaluated the diagnostic usefulness of 18F-FMT PET in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Tumor uptake of 18F-FMT PET was compared with 18F-FDG PET and the correlation with L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) expression also investigated. Method: Fifty patients with NSCLC were enrolled in this study, and a pair of PET study with 18F-FMT and 18F-FDG was performed. LAT1 expression and Ki-67 labeling index of the resected tumors were analyzed by immunohistochemical study.

The purposes of this study are: To estimate the relative risk of ILD in advanced/recurrence NSCLC patients treated with gefitinib as compared to other chemotherapy treatment, and to assess the risk factors for ILD in advanced/recurrence NSCLC patients undergoing treatment To provide an estimate of the incidence of ILD in a group of advanced/recurrence NSCLC patients undergoing treatment

The purpose of this Medical Access Program is to provide access to HER3-DXd for eligible patients with NSCLC who, in their treating physician's opinion, have an unmet clinical need which cannot be treated with approved and commercially available drugs and who cannot enter a clinical trial prior to commercial availability.

This is a prospective, clinical, multicentre study aimed to collect biological samples and study microbiota from subjects with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and metastatic melanoma. Microbiota is a complex consortium of microorganisms, located at the mucosal level (in particular intestinal, oral and vaginal) having a key role in human health and in the onset of several diseases. Microbiota alterations have been found in several diseases (gastrointestinal, metabolic, renal, oncological, gynaecological) The study will allow to: Provide biological samples (faeces, saliva, blood, urine) from oncologic patients to the first Italian microbiota biobank; Study microorganisms using different in vitro and in vivo techniques; Study the link between the microbiota and the disease. This study is part of the BIOMIS project (Project Code: ARS01_01220), presented as part of the "Avviso per la presentazione di progetti di ricerca industriale e sviluppo sperimentale nelle 12 aree di specializzazione individuate dal PNR 2015-2020" and admitted to funding under the National Operational Program "Ricerca e Innovazione" 2014-2020 by directorial decree of MIUR - Department for Higher Education and Research - n. 2298 of 12 September 2018. BIOMIS includes several clinical studies that enrol patients with different pathologies to collect and store biological samples and study microbiota.

This study was a French multicentric cross-sectional study retrospectively of 108 consecutive advanced NSCLC patients with a PD-L1 TPS ≥50% and without EGFR/ALK aberrations treated by pembrolizumab in first line.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the performances of the Six-Minute Stepper Test (6MST) and Sit To Stand test (STST) to predict post-operative complications after minimally invasive lung cancer resection.

Symptoms are common among patients with advanced malignancy undergoing treatment, and yet often go unrecognized by treatment providers. In addition to contributing to morbidity, poorly controlled symptoms drive emergency room utilization and hospital admission in this population, representing significant cost to patients, families, and the health care system. Systematic collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) has been proposed as a way to arm providers with the information necessary to intervene early, intensify symptom management, and improve symptom control. Recent research suggests that a standardized, web-based program of weekly patient-reported symptom monitoring leads to improved health-related quality of life and reduced acute care utilization; it may also prolong overall survival. Despite mounting evidence supporting its use among oncology patients, systematic PRO collection is lacking at most cancer centers, and optimal models for collection of PROs are poorly understood. The objective of this study is to evaluate prospectively the feasibility of a novel mobile phone-based intervention of weekly symptom reporting, among patients undergoing treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

This research trial studies prognostic and predictive markers in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer receiving chemotherapy. Prognostic markers are patient or tumor factors that predict patient survival independent of treatment. Predictive markers are factors that may influence and predict the outcome of treatment in terms of either response or survival benefit. Collecting and storing samples of tissue from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

This is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, expanded access study designed to provide alectinib to participants with ALK-rearranged NSCLC after disease progression on or intolerance to prior ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Participants will receive alectinib until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, patient or physician decision to discontinue treatment, death, alectinib becomes commercially available in the United States following approval of alectinib by the FDA, or the Sponsor decides to close the trial, whichever occurs first (approximately 15 months).

Participants with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Performance Status (PS) 0-2, not suitable for concurrent Chemo-Radiotherapy (CTRT), will be treated with standard radiotherapy (radical or palliative). Archival tumour biopsies will be analysed for baseline Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Some participants will have a biopsy before radiotherapy if the archive biopsy is not suitable. Participants will be required to undergo an additional mandatory biopsy of the irradiated site during the second week of radiotherapy.
