Engagement of Veterans With Lung Cancer

This research study will help our understanding of whether additional support for Veterans with lung cancer can improve their quality of life.

NutriCare Plus a Medically Tailored Meal Intervention Among Patients With Lung Cancer

The NutriCare study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the efficacy of an innovative intervention strategy (medically tailored meals plus nutrition counseling) to integrate nutrition into the standard of care for oncology to improve outcomes of vulnerable patients with lung cancer. The NutriCare study evaluates the efficacy of the intervention on optimizing nutritional status, reducing treatment-related toxicities, and improving the quality of life of patients with lung cancer who are economically disadvantaged, uninsured, racial and ethnic minorities, elderly, and/or rural residents from four major medical centers in diverse regions of the United States (U.S.). There will be two cohorts for NutriCare with cohort 1 recruiting 150 patients completing an 8-month intervention and cohort 2 recruiting 120 patients completing a 6-month intervention.

Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Followed by Chemo-immunotherapy Induction Therapy

Radiotherapy can activate local and systemic immune responses through a variety of mechanisms, which can enhance anti-tumor immune effects. The dose fractionation pattern of radiotherapy has an important influence on the occurrence of immune-induced effects. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has obvious advantages in activating interferon effects and inducing abscopal effects. SBRT combined with immunity can enhance the abscopal effect induced by radiotherapy and play a synergistic role. The 8Gy×3 fractionation scheme is currently the most widely used stereotactic radiotherapy scheme. Because we conducted this study, the primary lesion received large-fraction partial tumor irradiation and then received adebrelimab combined with chemotherapy induction treatment for 2 cycles, followed by sequential chest radiotherapy for the treatment of limited-stage small cell lung cancer, to explore the effectiveness and safety.

A Study on the Efficacy of Atezolizumab Combined with Chemotherapy

This is a multicenter phase III simulated RCT study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy versus placebo combined with chemotherapy in small cell lung cancer.

CAR-macrophages for the Treatment of HER2 Overexpressing Solid Tumors

Phase 1, first-in-human, open label study of CAR macrophages in HER2 overexpressing solid tumors.

The Diagnostic Value of Bronchoscopic Needle-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (nCLE) As a Real-time Detection Tool for Diagnosing Peripheral Lung Cancer: a Multi-centre Randomised Controlled Trial

The goal of this prospective, multi-centre, randomised controlled clinical study is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and safety of nCLE guided lung biopsy in patients with for peripheral lung nodules under the assistance of navigation bronchoscopy (NB) and radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS), and assess whether the biopsy techniques, namely transbronchial crybiopsy (TBCB) and transbronchial forceps biopsy (TBFB), would influence the diagnostic efficacy and safety of nCLE guided biopsy. Participants will divided into nCLE-NB-rEBUS-forcep biopsy group, nCLE-NB-rEBUS-TBCB group, NB-rEBUS-forcep biopsy group, and NB-rEBUS-TBCB group at a 1:1:1:1 ratio by using central, computerized random sequence, and then undertake nCLE-NB-rEBUS-forcep biopsy, nCLE-NB-rEBUS-TBCB, NB-rEBUS-forcep biopsy, and NB-rEBUS-TBCB according to the group. Researchers will compare the diagnostic yield and incidence of adverse events of the four biopsy techniques.

Efficacy and Safety of First-line Treatment for Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Using a Combination Therapy of Trilaciclib, Envafolimab, Etoposide, and Carboplatin

This prospective, randomized, controlled phase II study aims to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy with Envafolimab and chemotherapy in first-line extensive stage SCLC, as well as the impact of Trilaciclib on the incidence of myelosuppression and anti-tumor effects in patients.
