Supportive Care Intervention (ROAR-LCT) for Patients With Stage IIIA, IIIB, and IV Lung Cancer,...

Advanced Lung Non-Small Cell CarcinomaAdvanced Lung Small Cell Carcinoma8 more

This phase II trial tests whether a supportive care intervention (Resiliency among Older Adults Receiving Lung Cancer Treatment [ROAR-LCT]) is effective in improving physical and emotional wellbeing in patients with stage IIIA, IIIB, and IV lung cancer undergoing cancer treatment. Lung cancers are one of the most common cancers. Lung cancers occur in the chest and often cause symptoms for patients. Poor physical performance and negative mood are two risk factors for a decline in functional status. Targeted interventions may address these two risk factors and improve functional status and resilience. Physical therapy and relaxation interventions (i.e. progressive muscle relaxation) are two such interventions that may improve symptoms and quality of life for patients with cancer.

Watchful Observation of Patients With LD-SCLC Instead of the PCI

Small-cell Lung Cancer

Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is a current standard of care after confirmed response to radical chemoradiotherapy for limited disease small cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC). This standard is mostly based on results of old randomized studies when brain imaging with magnetic resonance (MRI) was not available. Survival benefit of PCI in extended SCLC was recently challenged by results of randomized phase III study from Japan. We propose to carefully follow LD-SCLC patients with MRI instead of PCI in order to apply modern brain irradiation [stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) in eligible patients or whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT)] to patients who develop metastases and to eliminate long terms neurocognitive deficits caused by PCI in patients who would never develop brain metastases. Methods and analysis This is a prospective multi-centre one-arm trial. A total of 80 patients diagnosed with LD-SCLC after confirmed response to standard of care radical chemoradiotherapy will be enrolled. Patients will be followed-up by brain MRI every 3 months up to 3 years. Neurocognitive function tests will be performed at baseline and after 12 and 24 months. Patients who develop brain metastases during observation will be irradiated. In case of limited number and volume of metastases SRT will be offered to patients; others will be treated with WBRT. The primary endpoint of the trial is overall survival. We have assumed that our approach will not compromise overall survival of treated patients. 2-year survival will be at least 50% in our trial compared to 36% for a group of 138 patients LD-SCLC from our institution treated in 2003-2006 with radical chemoradiotherapy and PCI. The secondary endpoints were designed to asses the risk of developing brain metastases without PCI; to assess the efficacy of radiotherapy of early detected brain metastases, including the feasibility and efficacy of SRT; to assess neurocognitive functions and QoL in the studied cohort. QLQ-C30 questionnaire and the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT), Color connection test (CTT), Benton visual memory test (BNRT) and Verbal fluency test (VFT) will be carried out by the certified psychologist. Ethics and dissemination The trial received ethical approval from the local medical university Bioethical Review Board (Komisja Bioetyczna Collegium Medicum Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski w Olsztynie). The results of the trial will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

NutriCare Plus a Medically Tailored Meal Intervention Among Patients With Lung Cancer

Lung CancerSmall Cell6 more

The NutriCare study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the efficacy of an innovative intervention strategy (medically tailored meals plus nutrition counseling) to integrate nutrition into the standard of care for oncology to improve outcomes of vulnerable patients with lung cancer. The NutriCare study evaluates the efficacy of the intervention on optimizing nutritional status, reducing treatment-related toxicities, and improving the quality of life of patients with lung cancer who are economically disadvantaged, uninsured, racial and ethnic minorities, elderly, and/or rural residents from four major medical centers in diverse regions of the United States (U.S.). There will be two cohorts for NutriCare with cohort 1 recruiting 150 patients completing an 8-month intervention and cohort 2 recruiting 120 patients completing a 6-month intervention.

Metastatic Lung Small Cell CarcinomaMetastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Brain4 more

This phase III trial compares the effect of stereotactic radiosurgery to standard of care memantine and whole brain radiation therapy that avoids the hippocampus (the memory zone of the brain) for the treatment of small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. 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. Whole brain radiation therapy delivers a low dose of radiation to the entire brain including the normal brain tissue. Hippocampal avoidance during whole-brain radiation therapy (HA-WBRT) decreases the amount of radiation that is delivered to the hippocampus which is a brain structure that is important for memory. The drug, memantine, is also often given with whole brain radiotherapy because it may decrease the risk of side effects related to thinking and memory. Stereotactic radiosurgery may decrease side effects related to memory and thinking compared to standard of care HA-WBRT plus memantine.

Metastatic Colorectal CarcinomaMetastatic Lung Small Cell Carcinoma16 more

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of M6620 and irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). M6620 and irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Non-small Cell Lung CancerSmall Cell Lung Cancer4 more

Invariant Natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique subset of lymphocytes that express homogeneous TCR recognizing KRN7000 which was up-regulated by many kinds of cancer cells. PD-1+CD8+T cells of patients with advanced tumor are most likely tumor-specified. Our hypothesis is that immunotherapy strategy of infusion of iNKT cells and PD-1+CD8+T cells may decrease the tumor burden and improve overall survival. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment of patients with advanced solid tumor by infusing of iNKT cells and PD-1+CD8+T cells.

Recurrent Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung CarcinomaRefractory Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

This phase II trial studies how effective talazoparib and temozolomide are for treating participants with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has come back after an initial chemotherapy treatment. Talazoparib, a PARP inhibitor, may stop the growth of tumor cells by preventing them from repairing their DNA. Chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, 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. Giving talazoparib and temozolomide may work better in treating participants with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer than either one alone.
