Adaptive Chemotherapy for Pd-l1 High REsEctablE NSCLC: A Chemo-PHREE Trial

This research study is being done to find out if a drug called cemiplimab is safe in adult patients who have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be surgically removed (resectable Stage II, IIIA, or select IIIB NSCLC). The purpose of this study is also to look at how well the study drug works and whether certain patients can skip chemotherapy before their surgery. The goal is to see if they can safely avoid the harsh side effects of chemo and still have a successful outcome. The investigators are doing this study because the investigators want to find out if this treatment approach is better or worse than the usual approach for early-stage NSCLC that can be surgically removed. The usual approach for the participants type of cancer is treatment with a combination of platinum-doublet chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) such as cemiplimab (LIBTAYO®) given before the tumor is surgically removed. (Immune checkpoint is a normal part of the immune system used to prevent an immune response from becoming so strong that it inadvertently destroys healthy cells in the body). Cemiplimab is given via infusion and will be administered at the study center. Everyone on the study will get the active study drug, cemiplimab. No one will get placebo. Placebos look like the study drug but don't have medicine in them. Infusion of cemiplimab will be given for 2 cycles followed by an evaluation. An evaluation means that participants will have imaging studies ("scans") done to see if the tumor has changed. After the scans, participants may receive one final cycle of cemiplimab followed by resection (surgery to remove the tumor) or combination chemotherapy plus cemiplimab for 2 cycles followed by resection.

Determining Whether Durvalumab in Combination With Radiation Therapy Can Prevent the Progression of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to see if Durvalumab and radiation therapy can delay the worsening of disease in patients with non-small cell lung cancer normally treated with sequential chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy.

Residual Disease Evaluation of Resected NSCLC by cirDNA Analysis

Prognosis of resectable early stages NSCLC might be improved by a better knowledge of post-operative minimal residual disease (MRD). This could be achieved by studying patient with stage I to IIIA completely resected-NSCLC, comparing qualitative and quantitative features of pre- and post-operative circulating cell-free DNA (cirDNA), using MiTest. We assume that the evolution of the parameters of MiTest and relapse rate after surgery are related and expect to prove that normalization of MiTest at one month after surgery is a prognostic factor of reduced relapse at one year.

Immune Metabolism Dysregulation and Efficacy to Anti-PD-1 PD-L1 Agents in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Prospective, biological, observational study involving the collection and use of samples from patients suffering from NSCLC lung cancer, aimed at comparing the molecular profile related to metabolism among subjects with response or resistance to checkpoint inhibitors immune system (ICI), in order to contribute to define response biomarkers and new molecular pathways as therapeutic targets combine with ICI to overcome resistance.

Personalized Escalation of Consolidation Treatment Following Chemoradiotherapy and Immunotherapy in Stage III NSCLC in Stage III NSCLC

The purpose of this study is to test whether or not number of circulating cancer cells detected in the blood can be decreased the by combining the standard treatment (durvalumab) with Tremelimumab and additional chemotherapy

The CyberChallenge Trial How Much is Too Much - What is the Role of Cyberknife Radiosurgery in Patients With Multiple Brain Metastases?

Patients suffering from malignancies in advanced stages often develop brain metastases, which limit both the life span and the quality of life. Therapy options for multiple brain metastases may vary and range from stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT), chemotherapy, immunotherapy to palliative best supportive care. Especially the efficacy and toxicity of SRS compared to WBRT in patients with extensive brain metastases (\>4) is not yet clear but of incremental relevance in this seriously ill cohort with a limited life span. These health-impaired patients might especially profit from a less toxic treatment that is also time sparing with 1 or few sessions in SRS versus 10 sessions in WBRT. On the other hand, no compromises in efficacy want to be done.

Phase I Study of Repotrectinib and Osimertinib in NSCLC Patients

This is a Phase I study of repotrectinib in combination with osimertinib in patients with advanced or metastatic EGFR mutant non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will be conducted in 2 parts, Part Ia and Part Ib, and its purpose will be to find the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) as defined by the primary safety and tolerability endpoint. The Phase Ia study will also determine the impact of repotrectinib on osimertinib pharmacokinetics (PK) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), if reached, of repotrectinib given in combination with osimertinib and the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). Dose escalation will be conducted according to a 'Rolling-6' based study design with 3 dose levels for repotrectinib: 80 mg once a day (QD), 160 mg QD or 160 mf QD during 14 days followed by 160 mg twice a day (BID); in combination with 80 mg QD of osimertinib. A total of 6 patients will be enrolled in each dose level cohort. In addition, this Phase Ib study will test early drug activity (efficacy) of the proposed combination treatment in an expansion cohort at the RP2D.
