The purpose of the study is to see if stereotactic radiosurgery/SRS is an effective treatment for people with a new diagnosis of brain metastases from small cell lung cancer/SCLC.
This early phase 1 trial will investigate the combination of low-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) and pembrolizumab in patients with previously untreated stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Preclinical data demonstrate reinvigoration of exhausted T cells into an effector-like phenotype with improved anti-tumor activity in response to this combination. This study …
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in the world. Overall 5-year survival rate is fewer than 10% and the effectiveness of conventional chemotherapy is limited. The new knowledge shows the correlation between genetic alteration and effective of chemotherapy. Therefore non-surgical modalities to obtain tumor specimens for genetic alteration …
The purpose of the study is to explore adding the study drug certolizumab to standard chemotherapy as it may reduce the inflammation caused by the cancer and make the chemotherapy more effective in shrinking the cancer. This study will examine whether adding certolizumab to the usual treatment approach is better …
This clinical trial compares the use of a shared decision-making communication tool during a clinical encounter to standard care for improving the quality of the shared decision-making process among patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Lung cancer patients are faced with many decisions about their treatment options. Studies have found …
This clinical trial examines positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in evaluating cardiac radiation damage in patients with lung or esophageal cancer. As part of the treatment for lung or esophageal cancer, patients will undergo radiation therapy. Sometimes, during this treatment, the heart is also subjected to some radiation which …
Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) is a form of high-precision radiotherapy playing a major role in patients diagnosed with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSLCL), especially when surgery cannot be performed. It is a non-invasive, well-tolerated treatment, with an excellent ability to control disease recurrence. However, in some patients, disease response …
ARDS is frequent in ICU and may lead to many complications and to death. Prone position is widely used in ADRS patients and demonstrated to decrease mortality. Regarding the chest wall compliance data are missing but the theorical response is that this compliance is decreased in a prone position mainly …
This phase II trial studies the effects of temozolomide and atezolizumab as second or third line treatment for patients with small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has come back (recurrent). Chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop …
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn about if carbon ion radiotherapy dose boost in hypoxia lesions detected by 18F-Misonidazole PET/CT could improve clinical outcomes in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients compared with standard treatment protocol in our center. The patients will be randomly divided …
