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

The purpose of this study is to provide expanded compassionate use access to mobocertinib, in participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR in-frame exon 20 insertion mutations and who have received at least 1 prior line of therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease.

The present study is a prospective cohort study. The aim is to assess the relationship between the presence of cancer stem-cells (CSC) and the risk of relapse in patients with early and locally advanced adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung

The subject is going to use 18F-FDG PET/CT to assess different genetic NSCLC metabolism after cisplatin chemotherapy and targeted therapy, define the assessment criteria for the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in NSCLC treatment respone and at last build multi-centre clinical trial platform of molecular classification and molecular imaging for cancer chemotherapy assessment.

This is a multicentre, non-interventional, prospective study to be carried out in representative oncology departments / institutions in order to determine the prevalence of EGFR mutations in treatment-naive Russian patients with cytologically verified advanced NSCLC in Russia.

schema : Prospective prognostic study The main objective is to study the value of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment in predicting the risk of post operative complications after lung resection for cancer.

The objectives of this study are to assess molecular testing, treatment patterns, and associated outcomes among patients with EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) mutation-positive locally advanced or advanced NSCLC (Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer) who have progressed on or after EGFR-TKI (EGFR-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor) therapy post availability of a third-generation TKI (primary study cohort). Additionally, molecular testing and treatment patterns will be assessed among a secondary cohort of patients which will include patients diagnosed with de-novo EGFR T790M mutation-positive locally advanced or advanced NSCLC.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) represent 25 to 30% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas in western countries. DLBCLs are aggressive cancer but potentially curable with multi-agent chemotherapy. Whereas R-CHOP regimen has led to a marked improvement in survival, this disease remains a biologically heterogeneous entity. New therapeutic strategies are required including identification of patients' subgroups with different prognostic. This project is based on BMS_LyTrans and Goelams 075 clinical trial. A study of whole blood transcriptome in 75 DLBCL patients and in 87 controls showed that PD-L1 (CD274) gene was overexpressed in DLBCL patients. Preliminary results demonstrated that PD-L1 is detected in plasma of DLBCL patients with a significantly higher concentration than in controls. This protein was selected as a potential biomarker because of its established role in anti-tumoral immunity. Interaction between PD-L1 and its receptor PD-1 is known to inhibit activation of immune responses by inducing T-lymphocytes anergy and/or apoptosis. Moreover, a direct involvement of PD-L1 in the protection of cancer cells from lysis by activated T lymphocytes has been demonstrated. PD-L1 expression has been described in several solid tumours, including ovary cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma and in hematological malignancies such as T-NHL, MM and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Furthermore the expression of PD-L1 by tumour cells is associated with poor prognosis. The blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 axis may represent a novel therapeutic approach in aggressive cancers. These first results incite to identify the cells releasing soluble PD-L1 and to investigate its role in the anti-tumoral immunity in DLBCL patients. The aim of this study is to identify cells producing soluble PD-L1 in DLBCL patients at diagnosis in comparison to others tumours known to express PD-L1 (metastatic breast cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer).

Because ALK-positive lung cancer constitutes less than 5% of all lung cancers, it is critically important to select those patients who are more likely to have the ALK mutation. Clinical characteristics of patients with mutations in the target gene should also be known, so that the incidence of a given target mutation is established in a specific population. There is not incidence known in Mexican population, but it is believed it is greater.

Empyema following pneumonectomy for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is a known problem that occurs in about 2% of pneumonectomy patients.

As one of the few centers, MAASTRO also aggressively re-treats patients with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Even after primary radical treatment to high doses, re-irradiation (with concurrent chemotherapy) is also given in curative intent, thus again using high doses of radiation. Publications on high-dose re-irradiation of lung cancer patients are scarce, and outcome and toxicity for patients treated in MAASTRO are unknown at present. This study will provide knowledge on benefit and risks of such a therapeutic approach.
