Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab when giving together with stereotactic radiosurgery or whole brain radiotherapy with or without ipilimumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Radiation therapy, such as whole-brain radiotherapy, uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nivolumab together with stereotactic radiosurgery or whole brain radiotherapy with or without ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.

This phase III trial studies whether pembrolizumab alone as a first-line treatment, followed by pemetrexed and carboplatin with or without pembrolizumab after disease progression is superior to induction with pembrolizumab, pemetrexed and carboplatin followed by pembrolizumab and pemetrexed maintenance in treating patients with stage IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as pemetrexed, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. It is not yet known whether giving first-line pembrolizumab followed by pemetrexed and carboplatin with or without pembrolizumab works better in treating patients with non-squamous non-small cell cancer.

While cigarette smoking remains the primary cause of most lung cancer cases, lung carcinoma in never smokers account for nearly 20 percent of cases. Never smokers with lung cancer typically present with different molecular profiles from that of smokers, which results in prognostic and therapeutic implications. Molecular changes in NSCLC that have therapeutic significance include mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and rearrangements in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene. These driver mutations typically are present in lung tumors found in never or light smokers. The addition of bevacizumab to carboplatin and paclitaxel in first-line treatment of non-squamous NSCLC showed improved survival compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel alone, 12.3 vs. 10.3 months respectively. Results from the POINTBREAK trial demonstrated that carboplatin + pemetrexed + bevacizumab is an alternative option to carboplatin + paclitaxel + bevacizumab, with comparable survival but less toxicity. In recent years, immunotherapy has emerged as a form of treatment that can lead to robust responses in a subset of patients. The PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab and the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab have shown prolonged survival in comparison to docetaxel in patients who previously progressed with chemotherapy, irrespective of PD-L1 expression. Thus, this study combines immunotherapeutic agent atezolozumab with an ant-angiogenic agent, bevacizumab, and double platinum therapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed).

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of combining Osimertinib with either Cisplatin or Carboplatin (at different dose levels) and Etoposide, to find out what effects, if any, this combination of drugs has on people with EGFR mutant lung cancer.

This phase II/III trial studies how well chemotherapy and radiation therapy (chemoradiation) with or without atezolizumab works in treating patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, cisplatin, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving chemoradiation with or without atezolizumab may work better in treating patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer.

A Phase 1 Dose Escalation and Expanded Cohort Study Of PF-06821497 In The Treatment Of Adult Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) And Follicular Lymphoma (FL).

At present, for participants with cT1-2N0 small cell lung cancer (SCLC), the International guidelines recommend surgical radical resection (lobectomy + systematic lymph node sampling or cleaning); If the postoperatively pathological examination is confirmed to be in pT1-2N0 stage, a single postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (combining etoposide with cisplatin) is recommended. If participants are difficult to tolerate the side effects of cisplatin, the investigators can replace cisplatin by carboplatin in the adjuvant chemotherapy scheme. Participants with pT1-2N0 SCLC are not recommended to receive postoperative chest-assisted radiotherapy. For participants with pT1-N0 SCLC after specific surgical resection, prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is currently recommended. But this recommendation is currently lacking the support of research evidence. The main purpose of this study is to study the prognostic effects of PCI on participants with pT1-2N0 stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have received radical surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The main endpoint of this study is to observe the total survival rate (5-year OS%) in 5 years. The secondary outcome measures include 5 years of disease-free survival (5-year DFS%), disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), surgical complications, resection rates, quality of life (QoL), and exploration of biomarkers (tumor tissue). This is a two-arm, open, multicentral clinical study designed to compare the 5-year OS% of participants receiving or not receiving PCI for pT1-2N0 stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with radical surgery plus postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Previous literature reports that the 5-year OS% of participants with pT1-2N0 period SCLC who have received surgical resection is about 50%. Assuming that PCI can increase 5 years OS% by 10%, then enrolling 320 participants in the group can guarantee 70% degree of certainty with observing a unilateral significant difference α< 0.1. Taking about 10% of the follow-up loss rate into account, the investigators expect to enroll 360 participants. Dividing the 360 participants divided into two groups randomly, each group is composed of 180 people. All participants received lobectomy plus mediastinal lymph node dissection or systematic lymph node sampling. Participants in the control group are enrolled in the follow-up, and the participants in research group will receive PCI by 25gy/10fx.

Study RGX-104-001 is a Phase 1, first-in-human, dose escalation and expansion study of RGX-104, an oral small molecule targeting the liver X receptor (LXR), as a single agent and in combination with nivolumab, ipilimumab, docetaxel, or pembrolizumab plus carboplatin/pemetrexed.

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of recombinant human EGF-rP64K/montanide ISA 51 vaccine (CIMAvax) and nivolumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer or squamous head and neck cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Vaccine therapy, such as CIMAvax vaccine may help slow down and stop tumor growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving CIMAvax vaccine together with nivolumab or pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer or squamous head and neck cancer.

This Phase I/Il studies the side effects of endobronchial ultrasound guided interstitial photodynamic therapy work in treating patients with lung cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes. Photodynamic therapy consists of injecting a light sensitive drug called a photosensitizer, such as porfimer sodium, into the vein, waiting for it to accumulate in the tumor, and then activating it with a red laser light. Giving photodynamic therapy with Porfimer sodium may reduce the tumor size in patients with lung cancer.
