Phase 2 Study of Fingolimod in Lung Cancers
This is a single-institution, open-labeled study using fingolimod (FTY720/Gilenya) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have progressed on chemo-immunotherapy. The study design will be a 6 patient safety lead-in with 2 cohorts of patients for efficacy analysis where fingolimod 0.5 mg …
Automated Oxygen Administration in Patients With Hypoxemic Pneumonia and Pleuropneumonia
Hypoxemic pneumonia is a major cause of hospitalization in Pulmonology. The patient's dependency on oxygen prevents early discharge from the hospital. An automated oxygen therapy is a system that allows administration of oxygen with a flow that is automatically adjusted to the patient's saturation, which is continuously monitored. This system …
Physiological Effects and Safety of Continuous High-frequency Oscillatory Ventilation in Mechanical Ventilation Patients
Mechanical ventilation is an important treatment modality for intensive care unit (ICU) patients, but it also brings a series of problems such as ventilator-associated pneumonia, ventilator-induced lung injury, and atelectasis. Continuous High-Frequency Oscillation (CHFO )is often considered to have a protective effect on the lungs. CHFO provides effective gas exchange …
ACid Tranexamic or Terlipressin for Initial Emergency Treatment of Mild to seVere hEmoptysis: a Randomized Trial.
The study aims is to verify the hypothetize that inhaled Tranexamic Acid (TXA) or Terlipressin (TER) will be associated with an increase in the rapid control of hemoptysis without side-effects. This randomized double-blind multicenter triple arm trial compares the administration of TXA to TER to placebo in patients with mild …
Lung Nodule Detection Using Ultra-long FOV PET/CT
Indeterminate lung nodules (6-15mm) are frequent findings in patients undergoing chest CT scanning, but adequate follow-up imaging is currently not in place to facilitate early detection, diagnosis and decision making regarding treatment. The introduction of long Field-Of-View PET/CT scanners could make a difference in this matter due to the substantial …
Use of Hyperpolarized 129Xe MR Lung Imaging in Infants
Abnormalities of the lungs are common in newborns and can include aspiration or infectious pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), pulmonary hypertension (PH), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and other abnormalities of lung development. Diagnostic radiography is commonly used in this population to differentiate diagnosis and to assess changes …
In Vivo Lung Perfusion for Pulmonary Metastases of Sarcoma
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 READY CF 2: CARING CF Ancillary RCT
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 …
Dose Attenuated Chemotherapy in Compromised Patients With Lung Cancer
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.
Shared Decision Making on Radiation Dose for Lung Malignancies
A Patient Decision Aid (PtDA) is developed during a workshop in close collaboration with selected patients. The PtDA is subsequently used in the consultation between patient and physician to facilitate their shared decision on the dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for lung tumors located less than 1 cm …
