Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The purpose of this non-interventional study is the collection and documentation of data on safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) bevacizumab (Avastin) in addition to platinum-based chemotherapy for first-line treatment in participants with unresectable advanced, metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) other than predominantly squamous cell histology with focus on adenocarcinoma and elderly patients in daily routine.

This is a non-interventional, open label, single arm, multicenter study to assess the safety and efficacy of erlotinib in participants with non-small cell lung cancer.

The randomized controlled multicenter clinical study of compound Kushen Injection to reduce the radiotherapy related adverse reactions in lung cancer is a phase Ⅳ clinical trials，The main purpose is to evaluate the effect of compound Kushen Injection in preventing and reducing the radiotherapy related adverse reactions. The participants of the clinical trials are patients with lung cancer who need thoracic radiotherapy. In clinical trials, one group of participants is given compound Kushen Injection with chemoradiotherapy, while another group is only given chemoradiotherapy. The period of trials is 18 months.

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be used as a non-invasive means of confirming pathologic diagnosis in early-stage (Stage I) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients scheduled to undergo surgical intervention will have blood samples obtained to test for CTCs. Presence of CTCs will be compared to final pathologic diagnosis based on surgical specimens to assess the sensitivity of using CTCs alone to make a definitive diagnosis.

This study investigates the most common major complications that result in unplanned additional surgery in patients undergoing vats anatomical resections. Several high-volume European centres participate. The purpose is to quantify these major complications, discuss the steps that can be taken to prevent these events, how they can be dealt with, be it by vats or conversion

This is a single arm clinical trial to establish the feasibility of conducting a clinical trial of acupuncture in reducing dyspnea among lung cancer survivors who have completed chemoradiotherapy. Twelve subjects with dyspnea will be recruited to this clinical trial. Up to 10 sessions of acupuncture will be delivered over the course of 8-10 weeks. The primary outcome will be dyspnea as measured by the English version of the Cancer Dyspnea Scale at the completion of the intervention.

This screening and multi-sub-study randomized phase II/III trial will establish a method for genomic screening of similar large cancer populations followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-sub-study hybrid ?Master Protocol? (S1400). The type of cancer trait (biomarker) will determine to which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to compare new targeted cancer therapy, designed to block the growth and spread of cancer, or combinations to standard of care therapy with the ultimate goal of being able to approve new targeted therapies in this setting. In addition, the protocol includes a ?non-match? sub-study which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the biomarker-driven sub-studies. This sub-study will compare a non-match therapy to standard of care also with the goal of approval.

This study will evaluate feasibility and acceptability of providing the Dignity Therapy/Life Plan intervention to pancreatic or advanced lung cancer patients presenting for treatment in the outpatient medical oncology setting. Investigators hypothesize that providing dignity therapy to this population will be feasible.

This observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tarceva (erlotinib) in first-line therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients, for whom the treating physician has decided to initiate treatment with Tarceva according to the local label will be followed for 18 months.

The purpose of this study is to understand real world gefitinib usage patterns, patient characteristics and outcomes and to present these for a Caucasian population
