Lung Cancer and Aging: Improving Well-being for Older Adults With Lung Cancer
The purpose of this study is to develop a brief assessment and need-based behavioral intervention for addressing aging-specific concerns in older adults with lung cancer. The long-term goals of this research include identifying the unique concerns of these patients, providing patients with behavioral skills to address their symptom management needs, …
Erector Spinae Block for Thoracic Surgery
The aim of this study is to determine if erector spinae injections with bolus infusions with local anesthetic decrease postsurgical pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing pulmonary resection surgery.
A Multicenter Phase II Study of Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Centrally Located Lung Tumors (STRICT-LUNG STUDY) and Ultra-centrally Located Lung Tumors (STAR-LUNG STUDY).
An open-label phase II study, investigating toxicity, treatment efficacy and the local tumor control rate in 69 patients with centrally located tumors and in 69 patients with ultra-centrally located tumors in the lung. Treatment and patient outcomes will be recorded. Centrally located tumors are treated on standard-linacs with daily CBCT …
Microbiota and the Lung Cancer
The subject is to study the lung microbiota and the one of upper airways (UAs) (much less studied than the intestinal microbiota) in 40 patients having lung cancer. 20 patients undergo only surgical treatment, while other half receives also chemotherapy. The idea is to explore changes in microbiota of the …
Testing Experimental Anti-cancer Drug SLC-391 With an Approved Immunotherapy Drug, Pembrolizumab, for Advanced Lung Cancers
SLC-391 is a novel, potent and specific small molecule inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinase AXL with desirable potency and pharmaceutical properties. The study is being done to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of SLC-391 in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Each treatment …
Safety of Pentoxifylline and Vitamin E With Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) in Non-small Cell Lung Cancers
The objective of this prospective phase II protocol is to assess the toxicity and efficacy of pentoxifylline and SABR in the re-treatment of recurrent or new lung cancers
Mid-point Transverse Process to Pleura Block Versus Thoracic Paravertebral Block in Posterolateral Thoracotomy
The ultrasound guided Thoracic paravertebral (TPV) block in the context of posterolateral thoracotomy offers targeted pain relief by anesthetizing the spinal nerves as they emerge from the intervertebral foramina, producing ipsilateral somatosensory, visceral and sympathetic nerve blockade. TPV block involves the injection of local anesthetic (LA) into the wedge-shaped paravertebral …
Erector Spinae Versus Intercostal Nerve Blocks With Liposomal Bupivacaine for Analgesia in Thoracic Surgery
This clinical trial compares efficacy in postoperative pain management in thoracic surgery between erector spinae block versus liposomal bupivacaine injections.
Spatial Fragmentation Combined With Low-dose Radiotherapy for Immunotherapy Combined With Chemotherapy-resistant Locally Advanced or Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of immunotherapy combined with spatial fractionation radiotherapy and low dose radiotherapy on the prognosis of patients with advanced lung cancer under specific dose regimens (spatial fractionation radiotherapy: high dose region: 800-1200cGy × 3f, low dose region: 100-300cGy × 5f; low …
Acupuncture Combined With PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study will be an evaluation of the efficacy and safety of acupuncture to enhance the response rate of immunotherapy in advanced lung cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are 1. Does acupuncture heighten the response rate of immunotherapy in advanced lung cancer? 2. Does acupuncture heighten the …
