Prehabilitation for Patients Undergoing Lung Cancer Surgery
Major surgery has been linked to running a marathon as in both represent large endeavours where the body will experience an increase in demands to supply the necessary energy. It has been alledged that, as one would train to prepare for a marathon, the same should be applied to surgery. …
C-mo System 1.0's Validation - Cough Monitoring
Cough is one of the most reported symptoms, especially associated with respiratory diseases. Additionally, cough contains extremely insightful information regarding the patient's health. It is a symptom full of physiopathological information, which can be extremely helpful in clinical practice. However, cough is not currently used as a clinical biomarker given …
Radiation Prior to TKI to Delay Progression in Advanced Driver-Mutated Non-small Cell Lung Cancers (RadiaNCe Lung X)
This prospective, two-part, single-arm, phase II trial is designed to evaluate whether the use of definitive radiation to the primary lung lesion prolongs progression-free survival (PFS) in treatment-naïve, metastatic, driver-mutated non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) patients who are subsequently placed on a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
Comparison of Imaging Quality Between Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography (SPCCT) and Dual Energy Computed Tomography (DECT)
This pilot study wants to determine to which extent SPCCT allows obtaining images with improved quality and diagnostic confidence when compared to standard Dual Energy CT (DECT), both with and without contrast agent injection. Depending on the anatomical structures/organs to be visualized during CT examinations, different scanning protocols are performed …
FCV vs PCV in Moderate to Severe ARDS
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome on the intensive care unit. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the mechanical power during flow-controlled ventilation lower than during pressure-controlled …
Supplemental Oxygen in Pulmonary Embolism (SO-PE)
A study of how supplemental oxygen helps patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Hypothesis: Oxygen affects right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) primarily by relieving hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and reducing pulmonary pressure (PA) pressure, and that this process is metabolically driven.
Using ctDNA to Determine Therapies for Lung Cancer
This is a study to look at whether the presence of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in the blood can help to predict whether giving adjuvant treatment after surgery can decrease the chance of the cancer coming back in people with lung cancer.
Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 MR Imaging of the Lung
Over the past 10 years, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes, EC) have been commercialized as a "less harmful" alternative to traditional cigarettes.1,2 However, e-cigarettes are believed to cause pulmonary epithelial, endothelial and vascular dysfunction, and to cause murine phenotypes similar to those of human COPD. Recently, "spiked" vape juice has been linked …
Transarterial Chemoembolization for the Treatment of Lung Cancer
This phase II trial evaluates how well transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) works for treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer. TACE is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting chemotherapy directly into an artery that supplies blood to tumors, and then blocking off the blood supply to the tumors. Mitomycin (chemotherapy), …
Evaluation of IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab in Lung Cancer Surgery
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, optimal dose and imaging time of the investigational product, IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab for use as a near infrared imaging probe for image-guided surgery during lung cancer resection. IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab targets cancer cells over-expressing EGFR, allowing tumors to be visualized and may help surgeons …
