The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if novel type of imaging scan called HP 129Xe MRI can help doctors identify and predict common side effects of radiation therapy. Rather than contrast-enhanced MRIs, the tracer (129Xe) will be inhaled rather than injected. The 129Xe tracer has not been FDA approved. Its use in this study is investigational.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using an incentive spirometer can reduce lung problems in people with advanced lung cancer who are receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Does using an incentive spirometer lower the chances of developing lung inflammation (pneumonitis)? Does it improve overall survival and quality of life? Participants will: Use an incentive spirometer, a device that helps with deep breathing, 10 times every hour while awake. Continue using the spirometer daily during treatment and for up to three months after treatment. Complete quality of life assessments at the start of the study and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Researchers will compare the results to see if the incentive spirometer helps reduce lung problems and improves participants\' well-being during and after their cancer treatment.
EGFR gene mutations are some of the most commonly occurring mutations in non-small cell lung cancer. Investigators have developed a DNA instability model that estimates a risk score to assess the likelihood of an individual acquiring a cancer-linked mutation. The aim of this study is to collect blood from both those diagnosed with EGFR positive lung cancer and healthy individuals, evaluate their gene sequence surrounding the EGFR landscape and use the cancer positive and healthy sequences to validate the risk assessment model, which may one day be used to provide insight on susceptibility of getting EGFR positive lung cancer or potentially other cancer types.
This is a prospective study providing lung cancer subjects at R.J. Zuckerberg Cancer Center with a customized exercise program provided by Salaso, with the goal of improving functional status and outcomes. This study will assess the feasibility and usability of a virtual exercise platform designed for lung cancer subjects. Subjects will be referred to physical therapy and rehabilitation medicine doctors for evaluation and enrolment in a virtual exercise program tailored specifically to their needs. The virtual exercise program will be available on a digital platform accessible through a personal device. Subjects will undergo a pulmonary function test if not previously completed within 3 months of signing consent, a Six minute walk test (6MWT) and the Sit to Stand Test (STS) at the start and end of the 12- month program. Subjects will also be asked to complete quality of life FACT-L and the Patient Satisfaction questionnaires at 1 month, 3-months, 6-months, and 12-months. Patient satisfactions questionnaires include the System Usability Scale, Net Promotor Score (NPS), and the Technology Acceptance Model. Physicians will also complete a provider satisfaction questionnaire at 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months from the time their first patient is enrolled. Subject participation in the trial will last 12 months from the time the subject starts utilizing the platform. If we find that the platform is accepted by subjects and is found to be feasible, a future randomized study will be developed to follow.

Participants will complete surveys once a month for 12 months. What does participation involve? 1. Emailing the study team to learn more and get access to the study website. 2. Once a month for 12 months you will receive a survey by email. 3. Complete these surveys on a smartphone, tablet, or computer at your convenience and receive an e-gift card for your time.
The study objective is to collect biospecimen samples (e.g., whole blood) from participants diagnosed with active lung cancer to investigate the immune response to develop treatments and therapies.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of bemcentinib with chemo-immunotherapy (CIT) to identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) when administered as first line (1L) treatment in participants with locally advanced (Stage IIIb/IIIC) or metastatic (Stage IV) non-squamous NSCLC with no actionable mutations and to determine the anti-tumor activity of the combination of bemcentinib with CIT when administered as 1L treatment in participants with locally advanced (Stage IIIb/IIIc) or metastatic (Stage IV) non-squamous NSCLC with serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) mutation and no actionable mutations.
The purpose of this study is to examine the association between ctDNA/immune biomarkers and disease progression in patients who, at immunotherapy discontinuation, have completed at least 20 of an anticipated 24 months of immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy or immune checkpoint inhibitor combination chemotherapy for mNSCLC.
In this study, patients who are taking oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy for lung cancer will be asked to participate in a remote monitoring system for up to 24 weeks. The system will include: * a smartphone application (app) developed at the University of Virginia called Sensus. Sensus will be downloaded to the participant's smartphone. The app will collect active data (such as through surveys) and passive data (such as accelerometer data). * a fitness watch called a Fitbit will be given to the participant to be used during the study. The Fitbit will collect information such as steps and average heart rate. * a smart pill cap called RX Cap will be given to the participant to be used during the study. The pill cap will collect information about how often a pill bottle is opened. The study will also involve paper surveys that are taken by the participant during clinic visits. Symptoms related to TKI therapy will be recorded by an investigator in the clinic. The study results will be used to guide development of a real-time symptom monitoring system, with the ultimate goal of improving TKI symptom response and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how Moovcare®, a mobile medical application, can be used to monitor Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) related to cancer treatment, cancer complications, and cancer relapse in patients with lung cancer. PROs are symptoms directly reported by patients through the completion of a survey. Up to 50 patients undergoing treatment and/or surveillance for new or existing diagnoses of lung cancer at the University of North Carolina's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center will be prospectively enrolled to the use of the mobile medical application Moovcare® for 6 months. Moovcare® is not FDA approved, and its role in improving clinical care is being studied through this research. Moovcare® automatically delivers electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) surveys on common symptoms experienced by lung cancer patients.
This study assesses cardiovascular injury and cardiac fitness in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) receiving model based personalized chemoradiation. The goal of this study is to learn more about the risk of developing heart disease as a result of chemoradiation treatment for lung cancer. Researchers also want to learn if the risk can be reduced by using a patient's individual risk profile to guide cancer treatment and help protect the heart.
This phase II/III trial compares the addition of radiation therapy to the usual treatment (immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy) versus (vs.) usual treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) whose tumor is also negative for a molecular marker called PD-L1. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The addition of radiation therapy to usual treatment may stop the cancer from growing and increase the life of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are PD-L1 negative.
The purpose of this study is to learn how to use blood tests to better predict how patients with non-small cell lung cancer, who are taking pembrolizumab for cancer treatment, will respond to treatment with pembrolizumab, and to understand how the immune system and cancer interact. Tests will be performed on tumor tissue and blood samples, and imaging assessments will be reviewed in order to monitor how well each patient responds to treatment. This is an observational study, so participants will not receive cancer treatment, other than the treatment received as standard of care.
This trial studies how well an enhanced tobacco intervention protocol (ETIP) works compared to standard treatment in helping head and neck and lung cancer patients starting treatment to reduce cigarette use. ETIP is an evidence-based tobacco cessation program including specialized one-to-one and telehealth counseling, drug therapy, nicotine replacement therapy, and frequent patient follow up. ETIP may help reduce smoking and improve cessation in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer or non-small cell lung cancer.
In this pilot study, healthy volunteers and patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer will undergo \[18F\]F-AraG dynamic imaging on the uEXPLORER total body Positron Emission Tomography/Computerized Tomography scanner to obtain preliminary data regarding pharmacokinetics and early biodistribution images.
The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good or bad) may come from a new way of doing radiation therapy for lung cancer. This study is for patients who are not able to get surgery or chemotherapy with their radiation. The way of doing radiation therapy in this trial is called hypofractionated radiation therapy which is a standard approach, but this study allows the actual tumor to get an extra radiation dose while still protecting the organs that are near the tumor.
This is a randomized, 30-day research study that is exploring the effects of two simplified mindfulness interventions in lung cancer patients aimed to improve their sleep quality and anxiety regarding sleep. The investigators will be enrolling a total of 20 patients who have insomnia symptoms. Patients will use a behavioral intervention to help with their sleep.
This phase II trial studies the side effects of radiation therapy followed by atezolizumab in treating patients with stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more cancer cells and have fewer side effects. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of radiation therapy followed by atezolizumab and find out what side effects, if any, it has on patient's non-small cell lung cancer.
This observational cohort will evaluate the cardiovascular effects of chemoradiation used to treat locally advanced, non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will be enrolled prior to the start of therapy and followed during and for at least 2 years after therapy with echocardiograms, nuclear stress tests, blood sampling, and quality of life surveys.
This pilot study is configured as a non-inferiority comparison of Performance Status 2 patients with Performance Status 0-1 patients, with the goal of demonstrating non-inferiority in terms of efficacy (progression-free survival, overall survival) and safety (rates of adverse events, quality of life) when treating Performance Status 2 patients with the same first-line immunotherapy-based regimen as Performance Status 0-1 patients.
The purpose of this research is to determine the feasibility of a new supportive intervention, called Pathways, for patients with advanced stage and metastatic lung cancer.
Primary Objectives: * Study was designed with multiple primary endpoints analyzed on randomized participants at the time of the cut-off date for each given analysis (progression free survival \[PFS\] and overall survival \[OS\]) * Study success was defined either on PFS or OS * The primary objective was to determine whether tusamitamab ravtansine improves the progression free survival (PFS) when compared to docetaxel in participants with metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressing CEACAM5 greater than or equal to 2+ in intensity in at least 50% of the tumor cell population and previously treated with standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) * The primary objective was to determine whether tusamitamab ravtansine improves the overall survival (OS) when compared with docetaxel in participants with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC expressing CEACAM5 greater than or equal to 2+ in intensity in at least 50% of the tumor cell population and previously treated with standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Secondary Objectives: * Compared the objective response rate (ORR) of tusamitamab ravtansine with docetaxel * Compared the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of tusamitamab ravtansine with docetaxel * Evaluated the safety of tusamitamab ravtansine compared to docetaxel * Assessed the duration of response (DOR) of tusamitamab ravtansine as compared with docetaxel
Doctors are recruiting patients receiving care for lung cancer at the Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center asking about needs and experiences during immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a new treatment for lung cancer. The research is to better understand patients' perspectives on what immunotherapy is like and will provide important information to help understand the symptoms patients experience, the impact of treatment on daily life, ways that people adapt to the challenges of treatment, and services that may help people live better during treatment.
Among 13 core symptoms across 3,106 breast, colorectal, prostate, and lung cancer patients, persons with lung cancer were the most symptomatic, with moderate to severe fatigue being reported with the greatest prevalence. This is a proposed randomized controlled trial of a novel rehabilitative intervention for persons with non-small cell lung cancer after surgery that promotes self-management of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and is practical, portable, low cost, and safe. The results of the study will provide a novel exercise intervention, and its optimal timing, that helps a vulnerable population by reducing CRF severity and fatigability and is applicable to nearly all post-thoracotomy lung cancer patients.
This study is a single center, minimal risk, physician initiated retrospective chart review. An analysis of treatment timelines for patients diagnosed with lung cancer within the St. Elizabeth system from January 2013 until study completion. The study investigator and designee(s) will review patient electronic medical records, extracting data related to the symptom presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of new diagnoses of lung cancer. Collected data will focus on dates of encounters, diagnostic imaging/procedures, and treatments, with data analysis evaluating time between care encounters and potential delays in care. The data will be further stratified based on system-wide changes implemented to improve efficiency, patient outcomes, and patient experience.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a remotely supervised exercise program (REM) in promoting adherence to an exercise prescription before and during chemoradiation.
This is a Phase 3 study aimed at investigating the effects of a personalized exercise program (PEP) in NSCLC patients (stage I, II, IIIa) and secondary lung cancer patients undergoing surgical treatment at the University of Utah and comparing the intervention to the current standard of care (no exercise program).
