This is an open-label, non-randomized, single-center, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy, toxicity and, tolerability of pre-specified dose attenuated chemotherapy regimens in lung cancer patients with comorbidities.
Over the last 20 years, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used to support adult patients with respiratory or cardiac failure who are unlikely to survive conventional treatment methods. ECMO circuit, pump, and oxygenator technology improvements permit safer perfusion for extended periods. The prolonged use of an ECMO circuit increases …
Sarcoma which has spread to the lungs is most often treated with surgery. Even with surgery, most patients will not be cured and will die from their disease, probably because of small cancer cells that are present in the lungs at the time of surgery, but cannot be seen or …
Lung transplant is an option for treating end-stage lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF). In the United States, more people with CF and low lung function die each year than undergo lung transplant. More than half of people with CF who die without a lung transplant were never referred for …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimal sequence of EGFR-inhibitors in lung cancer patients with EGFR-positive tumors not amenable for curative treatment. Life quality, adverse effects and tumor response will be evaluated and analyses of obtained blood and tumor samples will be performed to identify molecular profiles …
The main objective is to identify and assess the predictive value of ageing and senescence biomarkers (methylome, telomeres, inflammageing) and senescent cells in tissues to improve prognosis assessment older patients with locally or locally-advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
In intensive care, respiratory physiotherapy is an integral part of the daily care of patients under invasive mechanical ventilation. Its goals are to improve the clearance of bronchial secretions to allow for the resolution of atelectasis and alveolar recruitment, thereby enhancing respiratory mechanics and gas exchange. The most widespread technique …
The overall purpose of this study is to characterise the clinical safety and performance of the Creo Medical MicroBlate™ Flex AB1 instrument in patients with pathologically confirmed malignancy eligible for surgical resection of their nodule, receiving bronchoscopic ablation prior to surgery.
The main hypothesis is that even preterm infants considered "stable" receiving non-invasive ventilation may be at risk of developing BPD due to an inhomogeneous distribution of ventilation. Identifying this characteristic from the first days of life by using EIT could, in the future, optimize non-invasive ventilation strategies as early as …
The goal of this clinical trial (non-pharmacologic, single-center) is to determine whether the Hering-Breuer inflation reflex is preserved-and how it is modulated by end-expiratory pressure-in adult intensive-care patients who have undergone bilateral lung transplantation. The study will enroll men and women ≥ 18 years admitted to the ICU during the …
