Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Advanced Lung Cancer Survivors

This study is for people who have previously been diagnosed with advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Many people with advanced stage NSCLC have trouble breathing and feel tired. People may be eligible for this study if they have advanced stage NSCLC and feel short of breath some of the time. NSCLC survivors may also experience things like fatigue and a lower quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a type of supportive treatment that may improve these symptoms. This study has two parts. The first part is a randomized trial where half of the participants receive eight weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation. The other half of participants do not do pulmonary rehabilitation and instead receive the treatment that their doctors would normally recommend. The purpose of this part of the research study is to understand if pulmonary rehabilitation can help people with advanced stage NSCLC have better functioning and less shortness of breath. The other part of the research study is an interview study. The purpose of doing interviews is to understand any challenges or obstacles that people with advanced stage NSCLC may have regarding pulmonary rehabilitation, as well as oncology care providers have with their participants going to pulmonary rehabilitation.

Risk-adapted, Proteomic-guided Systemic Therapy for Previously Untreated Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This is a phase 2, pragmatic, 1:1 randomized, open-label study that evaluates risk-adapted, proteomic-guided systemic therapy to improve 12-month progression free survival (PFS) among patients with previously untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

[177Lu]Lu-AKIR001 First-in-human Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001, both in relation to tolerable activity of lutetium-177 and the absorbed protein mass dose of AKIR-001 in patients with irresectable or metastatic CD44v6-expressing solid malignancies for whom no reasonable systemic treatment options are be available. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the toxicity profile of the study drug \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001 according to the rate of Dose Limiting Toxicities and (Severe) Adverse Events? Participants will receive one \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001 infusion followed by a 6-week safety follow-up period, which can be extended up to 12 weeks. Possible additional infusions of the trial drug, up to a maximum number of four, can be given when clinical benefit is noted and toxicity is deemed acceptable.

First-Line Ipilimumab Plus Nivolumab and Nogapendekin Alfa Inbakicept (N-803) in Patients With Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This is an open-label, single center, one cohort, non-randomized, phase II study. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab with nogapendekin alfa inbakicept in patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is hypothesized that the study treatment will be safe and well tolerated and will improve progression-free survival when compared to a historical study which treated advanced NSCLC patients with nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Patients will be treated in cycles lasting 6 weeks with two to three different chemotherapy drugs to up to 24 months.

A Study to Compare the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity Between SB27 and Keytruda in Subjects With Metastatic Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to confirm that SB27 works in the same way as Keytruda in metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • How effective the study drug is Participants will receive either investigational product (SB27 or Keytruda) and chemotherapy every 3 weeks. Researchers will compare SB27 and Keytruda to see if SB27 works in the same way as Keytruda.

Intrathecal Double Checkpoint Inhibition

The objective of the present study is to determine the feasibility and to explore anti-tumor activity of intrathecal double immune checkpoint inhibition for patients with newly diagnosed leptomeningeal metastases from non-small cell lung cancer without driver mutation or melanoma.

Efficacy & Safety of Olvimulogene Nanivacirepvec & Platinum-doublet + Physician's Choice of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Compared to Docetaxel in NSCL Cancer

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.

Xingbai Ji Formula Combined with Chemotherapy and Sintilimab in Metastatic Multi-Target Mutation-Negative Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: a Clinical Trial

Clinical Trial Protocol Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the Xingbaiji Formula combined with chemotherapy and Sintilimab as first-line therapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic Stage IIIB-IV EGFR/ALK/ROS-1 mutation-negative non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), using Objective Response Rate (ORR) of tumor lesions as the primary endpoint. Secondary Objectives: To assess secondary endpoints including Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Quality of Life (QoL), immune-related indicators, and safety profile (e.g., incidence of adverse events), and to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy. Randomized Group Allocation: Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: Control Group Regimen for Advanced Non-Squamous NSCLC: Drugs and Dosage: Sintilimab 200mg + Pemetrexed + Cisplatin/Carboplatin via intravenous infusion, administered every 3 weeks (Q3W) for 4 cycles. After completion of 4 cycles, patients enter the maintenance phase: Sintilimab 200mg Q3W (up to 24 months) + Pemetrexed Q3W until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, or voluntary withdrawal. Regimen for Advanced Squamous NSCLC: Drugs and Dosage: Sintilimab 200mg + Gemcitabine + Cisplatin/Carboplatin via intravenous infusion, Q3W for 4-6 cycles. Post-treatment, patients receive Sintilimab 200mg Q3W maintenance until disease progression, intolerability, or completion of 2 years of Sintilimab therapy. Experimental Group Control Group Regimen + Xingbaiji Formula Xingbaiji Formula Dosage: 1. Granule No. 1: 10g/bag, dissolved in warm water. Administration: 1 bag orally, twice daily (morning and evening), after meals. 2. Granule No. 2: 5g/bag, dissolved in warm water. Administration: 1 bag orally, twice daily (morning and evening), after meals. Treatment Duration: Both granules are taken concurrently with chemotherapy for 6 months, then discontinued.

Improvement of Personalized Lung Cancer Care Through Digital Connection and Patient Participation (DigiNet)

The aim of the DigiNet project is to improve the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Germany. The project promotes the transfer of the latest scientific knowledge into standard care. The DigiNet project is based on the established precision medicine program, the National Network Genomic Medicine Lung Cancer (nNGM) in Germany, whereby every patient receives molecular diagnostics and personalized therapy information after the initial diagnosis. Within the framework of the DigiNet project, specialized academic centers will be digitally connected with practitioners via a shared project database. Furthermore, a committee of experts will monitor the course of treatment and will advise the practitioners in case of critical conditions. Additionally, patient-reported outcomes will be incorporated into the treatment.

Osimertinib and Etoposide as First-Line Treatment in Osimertinib-Resistant Advanced EGFR-Mutant NSCLC

Osimertinib, though a standard first-line treatment for EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC, shows primary resistance in 10-30% of patients, leading to disease progression within 3-4 months. This resistance is linked to co-mutations in genes like TP53, RB1, and PIK3CA, among others. Studies indicate that Topo II inhibitor Etoposide (VP-16) can reduce cell survival, enhance DNA damage, and delay resistance in Osimertinib-resistant cells, suggesting a potential combination therapy to manage resistance.This study is a single-center, prospective, single-arm study evaluating the efficacy and safety of osimertinib combined with etoposide as a first-line treatment in patients with osimertinib-resistant or -insensitive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study focuses on patients with advanced NSCLC (stage IIIB or IV) with EGFR-sensitive mutations who developed slow resistance to osimertinib and for whom secondary biopsy after resistance did not identify any therapeutic targets.

The Efficacy of Double-dose Furmonertinib in the Treatment of Patients With Slow Osimertinib-resistant NSCLC

This study is a single-center, prospective, single-arm study of the efficacy of double-dose Furmonertinib in the treatment of patients with slow Osimertinib-resistant non-small cell lung cancer, mainly in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR-sensitive mutations in stage IIIB or IV, slow drug resistance after treatment with Osimertinib, and no therapeutic target was found by secondary biopsy after drug resistance.
