870 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This research study aims to determine what effects (good and bad) Durvalumab has on participants and their cancer with a "quick start" of Durvalumab within 14 days of finishing chemotherapy and radiation. The study will also determine the logistic barriers to the quick start of Durvalumab.
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 single-arm, single-stage Phase II study designed to evaluate the 1-year PFS rate in subjects with locally-advanced NSCLC (stage II/III) and treated with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) followed by concurrent mediastinal chemoradiation with or without consolidation chemotherapy. A total of 60 subjects will be enrolled to this study over a 4 year accrual period.
Background: -Coordinated cancer care provided by doctors, nurses, social workers, and other care providers is believed to improve patient and physician satisfaction and patient evaluation for enrollment in clinical trials. But no research has been done to show that this approach improves patient experiences and outcomes. Researchers want to study this model to better understand how it can improve cancer treatment and patient outcomes. Objectives: - To assess the relationship between coordinated care and cancer treatment processes and outcomes. Eligibility: - Individuals who are at least 18 years of age. Those who take part must have been diagnosed with colon, rectal, or non-small-cell lung cancer. They also must be receiving or have been treated at one of the 16 NCI Community Cancer Center program sites. Design: * Researchers will collect medical records data from participants. * Participants will complete a questionnaire about 8 weeks after the end of all planned cancer treatment. They will be asked questions about their experience with coordinated cancer care. They will also be asked for any comments or concerns they had during and after treatment. * No treatment or additional tests will be provided as part of this protocol.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about neoadjuvant cemiplimab with histology-specific chemotherapy followed by resection and adjuvant cemiplimab in stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with contralateral mediastinal or ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node (N3) involvement.. The main question it aims to answer is whether patients with stage 3 NSCLC with involvement of lymph nodes can undergo surgery to remove the cancer after receiving treatment with chemotherapy + immunotherapy. Participants will receive FDA-approved chemotherapy called platinum-doublet chemotherapy together with an immunotherapy drug targeting the immune marker PD-1 called cemiplimab. Patients will receive a 3 drug combination for 4 total treatments given every 3 weeks before surgery. After surgery, patients will have the option to undergo radiation therapy if it is recommended by their treatment team. After this, they will receive cemiplimab every 3 weeks for one year.
Primary * Evaluate safety and toxicity of AN0025 in both the consolidative setting (after chemoradiation) and in the concurrent setting (during chemoradiation) * Evaluate efficacy by progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and time to death or distant metastasis (TTMD), Duration of response (DOR), Overall survival (OS) with the addition of AN0025 in both the consolidative and concurrent settings Exploratory * Evaluate pharmacokinetics of AN0025 in conjunction with chemoradiation, and then with durvalumab
The purpose of this study to test measures of physical and psychological resilience while using Self-System therapy (SST), to treat depression and lung-cancer-related distress in older adults (65 years and older).

A global study to assess the efficacy and safety of osimertinib following chemoradiation in patients with stage III unresectable Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation Positive non-small cell lung cancer
Metastatic non small cell lung cancer can be treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy or using recently approved immunotherapy with antibody, Nivolumab. Both the therapies have limitation due to development of tolerance or immunosuppression. This trial combines one drug from each category, immunotherapeutic Nivolumab and chemotherapeutic gemcitabine as it was reported that gemcitabine reduces immunosuppression by killing myeloid derived suppressor cells, thereby increasing the efficacy of Nivolumab.
This study seeks to establish * the recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) of veliparib in combination with concurrent paclitaxel/carboplatin-based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and consolidation with paclitaxel/carboplatin-based chemotherapy (Phase 1 portion), and * to assess whether the addition of oral veliparib versus placebo to paclitaxel/carboplatin-based chemoradiotherapy with paclitaxel/carboplatin consolidation will improve progression-free survival (PFS) in adults with Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (Phase 2 portion). A strategy decision was made not to proceed to Phase 2 portion of this study due to change in standard of care.
Primary objective: To assess the efficacy of various sequences of either a small molecule or an IMT (IMT-A) followed by a IMT-B (MEDI4736) .
Dual-energy CT (DECT) provides information on the blood volume in tumors and lymph nodes. As tumors respond to treatment, preliminary data suggests that the blood volumes changes as well. Investigators are therefore using DECT to test whether it can be used on radiation treatment to rapidly assess response to treatment.
Metformin is thought to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a major sensor of cellular energy levels and a key enzyme limiting cellular growth during times of cellular stress. Once activated, this enzyme restricts anabolic processes such as protein, cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis and inhibits mTOR, a protein kinase responsible for unregulated growth. MTOR is upregulated in a variety of tumors, including NSCLC providing rationale to take advantage of this pathway with metformin.
The primary purpose of this research study is to see whether adding bavituximab (an investigational drug) to the standard chemotherapy drug docetaxel, will improve the results of the treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of selumetinib in combination with docetaxel (75mg/m2) vs placebo in combination with docetaxel (75mg/m2) in patients with locally advance or metastatic NSCLCs that harbor mutations of KRAS. This study will also assess the PK, safety, patient reported outcomes (PRO) and tolerability profile of the selumetinib/docetaxel combination, compared to placebo in combination with docetaxel
The purpose of this study is to treat patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with a combination therapy of selumetinib and two different doses of docetaxel 75mg/m2 or 60 mg/m2 vs placebo and compare how well each dose affects how their cancer responds. It will also help us to understand the tolerability profile of the different dosing regimens in these patients
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combining ganetespib (STA-9090) with docetaxel is more effective than docetaxel alone in the treatment of subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
This study will examine the potential for an Interactive Cancer Communication System (ICCS) to impact not only psychosocial outcomes such as quality of life but also length of survival in an advanced stage lung cancer population. Two hypotheses will be tested: the Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System- Lung Cancer (CHESS- LC) will significantly improve patient quality of life and length of overall survival as compared to a usual care control group.
For patients with stage III Lung Cancer, We propose one cycle chemotherapy using Abraxane and Carboplatin, followed by pulsed low-dose sensitizing Abraxane chemotherapy and daily Radiation. This will be followed by more hi-dose chemotherapy. We anticipate this regimen to target early distant microscopic spread by using one cycle of chemotherapy prior to radiation, and to achieve control of the disease in the lung by combining pulsed low-dose sensitizing Abraxane, with radiation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the preliminary affects of "Breathe Easier," an evidence-based multi-level mindfulness intervention (i.e., progressive web application) for survivors of lung cancer. The key aims of this study are to (1) Evaluate the feasibility (usability, acceptability intervention adherence) of the "Breathe Easier" and (2) assess the impact of the intervention on dyspnea, fatigue, and quality of life among survivors of lung cancer. Participants in the intervention group will use the "Breathe Easier" progressive web application for a period of 8-weeks, while participants in the control group will receive no intervention. Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if there are salient differences in dyspnea, fatigue, and quality of life between the two groups.
The purpose of the study is to determine the feasibility of genomically guided radiation therapy (RT) with concurrent chemotherapy in the management of stage II and III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This research study to determine the effectiveness of the AveCure Flexible Microwave Ablation Probe to destroy cancerous lung nodules up to 3 c m in size. This research study involves microwave ablation (MWA)
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 than, the same as, or worse than the usual approach alone.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether treatment with the study drug durvalumab combined with a type of radiation therapy called stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) is a more effective treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) than SBRT alone.
In this study circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) blood testing is used to detect the residual blood cancer. If residual cancer using this blood test is detected there may be at higher risk of having the cancer return. The study is going to test whether or not the number of circulating cancer cells detected in the blood can be reduced by administration durvalumab after the standard treatment if you are tested positive for the residual 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.
Single arm, Phase II trial of concurrent Durvalumab (MEDI 4736) and radiotherapy followed by consolidative Durvalumb (MEDI 4736) for Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
This is a feasibility study to determine the usefulness of a brachytherapy device that utilizes active components (palladium-103) of standard devices in a novel configuration, which may benefit lung cancer patients by reducing the radiation dose to critical structures, such as the heart wall, while giving a therapeutic dose to diseased tissue, such as at a surgical margin.
This Phase 2, open-label, randomized study in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intravenously delivered oncolytic vaccinia virus, Olvi-Vec, followed by platinum-doublet chemotherapy + Physician's Choice of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI) vs. docetaxel for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have shown first disease progression (i.e., progressive disease not yet confirmed by further scan after initial scan showing progression) while on front-line treatment or maintenance ICI therapy after front-line treatment with platinum-doublet chemotherapy + ICI as standard of care.
