Molecular Imaging of Fibroblast Activation Protein Expression Using Labeled Technetium-99m HYNIC-FAPI

The study should evaluate the biological distribution of 99mTc-HYNIC-FAPI in metastatic cancer patients.

Evaluation of Endobronchial Ultrasound Needle Cleaning Techniques and Their Impact on Specimen Contamination

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) bronchoscopy is commonly used to sample lymph nodes in patients with suspected or known lung cancer to determine the stage of the disease. Accurate staging is essential as it directly impacts treatment decisions and prognosis. During EBUS procedures, needles are often reused across multiple lymph node stations and are typically flushed with saline between samples. This raises the concern that residual tumor cells may contaminate the samples and could potentially incorrectly upstage disease. This prospective study will evaluate the current technique used during EBUS procedures to determine if more intensive cleaning leads to reduced cellular contamination without affecting diagnostics. Patients undergoing an EBUS procedure for diagnosis with a large mass and a high probability of malignancy will be selected for the study. Rapid On-Site Examination (ROSE) will be used at the bedside to determine the presence of abnormal cells. Following the final pass, before moving to the next station, the needle will be flushed with saline as normal and then flushed again into another container to evaluate the presence of residual cells. The outcome may help EBUS needle handling practices and improve lung cancer staging accuracy. No additional invasive procedures are performed as part of this study; all analyses utilize material obtained during routine EBUS needle flushing, with no added needle sticks or alteration of clinical care.

Golidocitinib for Refractory Immune-related Hematologic Toxicities of Advanced Lung Cancer

This study is a single-arm clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of golidocitinib in patients with refractory, immune-related hematologic toxicity in advanced lung cancer.

VMD-928 Monotherapy and in Combination With Pembrolizumab to Treat TrkA Overexpression Driven Solid Tumors or Lymphoma

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2 study of orally administered VMD-928 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma that have progressed or are non responsive to available therapies and for which no standard or available curative therapy exists

Immune Cell Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors

The autologous immune cell induction technology used in this project involves transforming peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) into autologous DC cells, NK cells, CIK cells and other immune cells through cytokine induction, and then re-administering them to the patients. This therapy utilizes biotechnology to culture the immune cells of cancer patients in vitro and then re-infuse them back into the body, stimulating and enhancing the body's own immune function, killing and inhibiting cancer cells, eliminating small and residual lesions, or achieving the goal of treating cancer by significantly inhibiting the proliferation of residual cancer cells.
