Use of High Dose Radiation Followed by Chemotherapy and Radiation to Treat Locally Advanced NSCLC

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.

Adding Certolizumab to Chemotherapy + Nivolumab in People Who Have Lung Cancer That Can Be Treated With Surgery

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.

Cardiotoxicity in Locally Advanced Lung Cancer Patients Treated With Chemoradiation Therapy

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.

Bovine Reinforcement in Stomach, Colorectal and Lung Operation

The primary purpose of this prospective, randomized multicenter center study is to evaluate and compare the outcomes of stomach,colorectal and lung anastomoses reinforced with a bioabsorbable staple line reinforcement material compared with standard non-reinforced techniques with respect to the incidence of postoperative hemorrage rate, anastomotic leakage, if applicable.

Clinical Validation and Benchmarking of Top Performing ctDNA Diagnostics - Stage III NSCLC

Improving personalized cancer treatments and finding the best strategies to treat each patient relies on using new diagnostic technologies. Currently, for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the methods used to decide who gets additional post radical (surgery or definite chemo-radiotherapy) treatment are suboptimal. Some patients get too much treatment, while others do not get enough. There is a new way to explore if there is any cancer left in a patient's body using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in blood samples. This can help decide who needs more treatment. Even though many tests have been developed, it has yet to be determined which test performs best at relevant time points. The GUIDE.MRD consortium is a group of experts, including scientists, technology, and pharmaceutical companies. The consortium is working on creating a reliable standard for the ctDNA tests, validating their clinical utility, and collecting data to help decide on the best treatment for each patient. GUIDE.MRD-03-NSCLC is a part of the GUIDE.MRD project.

Neoadjuvant Umbrella Trial for Patients With Unresectable Stage III NSCLC Harboring Rare Mutations.

This umbrella trial directed by next generation sequencing (NGS) includes patients with treatment-naive unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of the umbrella study is to evaluate the efficacy of induction NGS-directed targeted therapies followed by surgery for stage III NSCLC patients whose tumor harbors a rare mutation.

Neoadjuvant IBI308, Bevacizumab, Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin Followed by Surgery in Unresectable Stage III NSCLC

The purpose of this study is to studying neoadjuvant IBI308, bevacizumab, plus pemetrexed and carboplatin followed by surgery to see how well it works in treating patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

COr Loco-regional Advanced Lung Cancer Treated With Chemo-radiotherapy (COLA)

Patients with loco-regional NSCLC planned for curative treatment with chemoradiotherapy will be invited to participate in a prospective study; besides routine treatment, the patients will be followed with an ECG and cardiac MR for at least two years after radiotherapy treatment.
