Active clinical trials for "Small Cell Lung Carcinoma"

This pilot clinical trial studies how well bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage works in identifying biomarkers of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with non-small cell or small cell lung cancer. Bronchoscopy uses a thin, tube-like instrument inserted through the nose or mouth to view the inside of the trachea, air passages, and lungs. Bronchoalveolar lavage washes out the bronchi and alveoli by flushing with a fluid. Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage may make it easier to help determine biomarkers that are more present in some cancers than others that will help determine which individuals have a greater or lesser chance of benefiting from immunotherapy.

The primary goal of this Phase 1 study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of tebotelimab and establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tebotelimab in advanced solid tumors, and tebotelimab in combination with margetuximab in HER2+ advanced solid tumors. Pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, pharmacodynamics (PD), and the anti-tumor activity of tebotelimab will also be assessed.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab plus standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy (etoposide/platinum [EP]) in participants with newly diagnosed extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who have not previously received systemic therapy for this malignancy. The primary study hypotheses are that pembrolizumab+EP prolongs Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR) and Overall Survival (OS) compared with placebo+EP in adult participants with ES-SCLC. In this study, RECIST 1.1 has been modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. With protocol Amendment 07 (03-Oct-2018), the outcome measure of "Change from Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) Global Health Status/Quality of Life Scale" was replaced with a single time point analysis at Week 18.

Study to evaluate the effect of rovalpituzumab tesirine on cardiac ventricular repolarization in subjects with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Patients with untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer(SCLC) were randomly assigned to receive either irinotecan/cisplatin (IP) or etoposide/cisplatin(EP), The association of efficacy and toxicity of IP regimen was analyzed.

This was a Phase II, multi-center, open label, single dose study in patients with tumor types known to overexpress Gastrin-Releasing Peptide Receptor (GRPR), including breast, prostate, colorectal, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Small-Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC).

At present, with the increasing intensities of the tobacco industry and air pollution in China, the incidence and mortality of lung cancer have become the most important issue that threatens human health.Over the past two decades, the treatment of SCLC still stays in the mode of treatment based on radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This is a prospective, single-center, one-arm clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib plus chemotherapy for second-line and above treatment of advanced SCLC. 30 patients will receive apatinib 500mg qd orally, if the patient has a grade 3/4 adverse reaction during apatinib treatment, it can be reduced to apatinib 250mg qd orally.The dose was later reduced from 500 mg to 250 mg per day based on a recommendation of the principal investigator to reduce the adverse events. Chemotherapeutic agents are limited to irinotecan or docetaxel alone.The primary outcome endpoint was progression-free survival

This phase Ib trial studies how well pembrolizumab works with combination chemotherapy in treating participants with small cell/neuroendocrine cancers of the urothelium or prostate that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or that has spread to other places in the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, docetaxel, 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. Giving pembrolizumab with platinum-based chemotherapy may work better in treating participants with small cell/neuroendocrine cancers of the urothelium or prostate.

This phase II single-arm pilot study will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of Optune-Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy as a prophylactic approach to reducing small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Optune is a portable battery powered device that produces alternating electrical fields, termed tumor treatment fields ("TTFields") within the human body. These TTFields are applied to the patient by electrically insulated surface transducer arrays, which function to disrupt the rapid cell division of cancer cells.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 10-15% of lung cancer. More than 70% of SCLC patients are diagnosed with advanced stage (ED-SCLC) at diagnosis. ED-SCLC is highly chemo-sensitive, the first-line treatment is platinum-containing double-drug chemotherapy. Although ED-SCLC is highly sensitive to chemotherapy and the objective response rate (ORR) of first-line chemotherapy is as high as 60-80%, the progression-free survival (PFS) is very short, and there is a lack of effective second-line treatment. The median overall survival (OS) of patients is only 10 months, and the 2-year survival rate is about 6%.
