Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Investigators propose to assess, retrospectively and prospectively the safety and tolerability profile (number of participants with adverse events) of standard chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic agent bevacizumab (Avastin) as first line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer. All treatment schedules that are going to be assessed are considered by the international guidelines as standard therapy for patients with advanced or metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer.

The primary specific aim is to test the hypothesis that use of a decision aid to enhance informed, shared decision making coupled with quality of life assessment in patients with advanced lung cancer receiving first-, second-, or third-line therapy will lead to a reduction in two major contributors of cost (number of chemotherapy cycles; number of advanced imaging studies) compared with the control arm.

One of the most widely used treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the combination of paclitaxel-cisplatin. These drugs may contribute to taste alterations like dysgeusia. Which alters the feeding of cancer patients, contributing to the anorexia, weight loss and malnutrition, which leads to a prognostic impact in a lower patient response to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical treatment as well as increased toxic effects, impacting treatment discontinuation and therefore, morbidity and survival of patients. The objective of this study is to describe the threshold of perception and recognition of basic tastes in patients with NSCLC before treatment with platin and paclitaxel-based chemotherapy and after the second cycle, and analyze the effect in the developement of dysgeusia, as well as the association between these and the nutritional status and quality of life.

Our study sought to examine nivolumab efficacy and safety in advanced NSCLC patients treated under the Temporary Authorization for Use (ATU, compassionate use) setting and describe their long-term clinical characteristics, notably the treatments they received after nivolumab discontinuation. The profile of these patients shows greater conformity to that of a non-selected population, yet the clinical data collection does not reflect "real life" conditions and stops when treatment ends, which does not enable us to get an overview of post-immunotherapy treatments.

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will test if weekly supplementary internet-based self-monitoring of 12 core symptoms can increase survival in Danish lung cancer patients during follow-up or maintenance treatment. A threshold mechanism will automatically send an alert to the hospital in case of alarming or worsening symptoms and the patient will be contacted by the treating clinicians.

A study to compare patient survivals in the N2 patients with non-small cell lung cancer in the subgroups of lymph skip metastases and non-skip metastases

A study to evaluate effectiveness of sublobar dissection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer

The real-world observational study was designed to explore the odd factors of lymph metastases in the patients with T1 non-small cell lung cancer, the effects of clinical characteristics on lymph metastases, and compare the differences in lymph metastases in the subgroups.

The study was designed to evaluate effectiveness of the surgeries and adjuvant therapies after surgeries in the patients with lung malignant tumors

To assess the relationship between progression free survival of patients treated with nivolumab for metastatic non small cell lung carcinoma or a metastatic renal cell carcinoma and nivolumab blood concentration. Collection of standard data prospectively.
