Contribution of the CEST Sequence in the Characterization of Radionecrosis of Brain Metastases of Pulmonary Origin

The aim of the study is to determine whether the use of the CEST sequence would have diagnostic performance equivalent to the reference method of T2\* infusion with contrast injection in the diagnosis of radionecrosis of lung cancer brain metastases.

Study of JDQ443 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors Harboring the KRAS G12C Mutation

This is a phase Ib/II open label study. The escalation part will characterize the safety and tolerability of JDQ443 single agent and JDQ443 in combination with the other study treatments (TNO155 and tislelizumab) in advanced solid tumor patients. After the determination of the maximum tolerated dose / recommended dose for a particular treatment arm, dose expansion will assess the anti-tumor activity and further assess the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of each regimen at the maximum tolerated dose / recommended dose or lower dose.

Erector Spinae Block for Thoracic Surgery

The aim of this study is to determine if erector spinae injections with bolus infusions with local anesthetic decrease postsurgical pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing pulmonary resection surgery.

Precision Lung Cancer Survivorship Care Intervention

The overarching goal of the Kentucky LEADS Collaborative Lung Cancer Survivorship Care program is to reduce the burden of lung cancer by offering an innovative survivorship care approach that improves lung cancer quality of life, overcomes lung cancer stigma, and helps survivors engage with care. The project involves a two-group parallel randomized clinical trial comparing the impact of the Kentucky LEADS Collaborative Lung Cancer Survivorship Care program (KLCLCSC) among lung cancer survivors (N=300) against an enhanced usual care condition (bibliotherapy+assessment) on quality of life outcomes.

B-GLUCANCER2 : A Pilot Study Evaluating a New Method for Cancer Detection by Measuring the Activity of Different Glycosidase Enzymes in the Plasma of Patients With a Localized Cancer.

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a new cancer diagnostic and prognostic tool based on the dynamic and non-invasive detection of an exogenous volatile molecule, i.e., ethanol, from patients' samples. Patients' blood plasma will be analyzed with a mixture of volatile organic compound-based probes, each targeting a specific glycosidase. The presence of a given glycosidase in a blood sample would thus be revealed by the detection of an ethanol isotope in the gas phase. 3 groups of patients with localized cancer (breast, prostate, pancreas) will be enrolled, as well as 1 group of patient without any cancer (control group). For the patients, two 5ml plasma samples will be collected, one before and one after surgery for localized cancers. For healthy volunteers, only one 5ml plasma sample will be collected. The primary objective will be to compare the levels of glycosidases measured in the blood of patients followed for localized cancer and referred for first surgery compared to control patients without cancer.

Tunisian Lung Cancer Study

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational, national study. Eligible patients will be recruited consecutively among subjects with proven lung cancer, including any disease stage withclinical, therapeutic and evolutive discription.
