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

The aim of this non-interventional study is to assess oral vinorelbine dose schedules (initial dose, dose increase/maintenance/reduction) applied during the initial 8 weeks of treatment under routine conditions in Germany together with the underlying reasons for the respective chosen schedules.

Approximately 3000 advanced NSCLC patients, who fulfil the inclusion/exclusion criteria, will be recruited by 30 sites in North China.

Considering the low expression rate of Melanoma-associated antigen 3 (MAGE-A3) in Asian especially Southeast Asian, it would be great interests to investigate the potential polymorphism of MAGE-A3 in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients in Taiwan. Meanwhile, it is also interesting to study the expression of Preferentially Expressed Antigen In Melanoma(PRAME) and Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status as well as to find out significant factors which may affect their expression such as smoking status, histological types, tumour size and stages in Taiwan.

The purpose of this study is to try to learn more about how small molecule kinase inhibitors work in treating lung cancer. Some early studies have shown that gefitinib, erlotinib and similar drugs are more likely to work if a particular DNA change (also known as a mutation) is found in a protein that is important in lung cancer. This protein is called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Since small molecule kinase inhibitors sometimes stop working, we would like to examine your tumor to learn why these medicines are not working as well. Your tumor will be examined for a variety of things including changes in the DNA of the EGFR. We will also sequence parts of the genes for HER2, HER3, HER4, and KRAS, other proteins thought to be important in lung cancer.

CT-PET image fusion has the potential to differentiate 'tumor' from 'atelectasis' much better than the CT-scan in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who also have atelectasis. This however has never been validated on a histological level. In this study patients with non small cell lung cancer and atelectasis who are eligible for surgery undergo a CT-scan and a PET-scan prior to surgery. The resection specimen will be compared to the preoperative imaging.

This is an observational study designed to follow patients with metastatic or locally advanced and unresectable CRC or locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (excluding predominant squamous histology) who are receiving Avastin in combination with first-line chemotherapy. Second-line metastatic CRC patients are also eligible. Patients who started their Avastin containing therapy <4 months prior to enrollment are eligible.

This is a multicentre, prospective, study of EGFR )Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) mutation status in advanced NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer)patients (locally advanced and/or metastatic disease) with adenocarcinoma histology proposed to be conducted at 15 sites from different geographical regions across India. The study targets to enrol 268 patients over a period of 6 months.

The treatment landscape of metastatic non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rapidly evolving. There are new diagnostic and treatment options available in the coming months and years. New combination treatments will give different solutions to pneumo-oncologists who might be guided by certain patient and tumor characteristics. The link between patient and tumor characteristics in untreated stage IV non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and systemic treatment needs further investigation, allowing the identification of possible treatment issues, data gaps and/or areas of improvement.

Retrospective analysis where patients with histologically confirmed Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were centrally evaluated for the presence of KRAS and EGFR mutations.

This prospective, multicountry, multicentre, non-interventional study plans to include patients who have undergone surgery for early-stage (IA to IIIB on the basis of pathologic criteria) non-squamous NSCLC up to 6 weeks prior to enrolment into the study. The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of EGFRm in patients with surgically resected early-stage (IA to IIIB) non-squamous NSCLC as there are limited data on its prevalence in this patient population.
