Comparing Impact of Treatment Before or After Surgery in Patients With Stage II-IIIB Resectable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase III trial compares standard therapy given after surgery (adjuvant) to standard therapy given before and after surgery (perioperative) in treating patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be removed by surgery (resectable). The usual approach for patients with resectable NSCLC is chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy before surgery, after surgery, or both before and after surgery. This study is being done to find out which approach is better at treating patients with lung cancer. Treatment will be administered according to the current standard of care at the time of enrollment. Chemotherapy options may include cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed, gemcitabine, docetaxel, and vinorelbine at standard doses according to the treating physician. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Other chemotherapy drugs, such as vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading . Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Starting treatment with chemotherapy and immunotherapy prior to surgery and continuing treatment after surgery may be a more effective treatment option than adjuvant therapy alone in patients with stage II-IIIB resectable NSCLC.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Response in Solid Tumors Using a Live Tumor Diagnostic Platform

This study is being done to collect tissue samples to test how accurately a tumor response platform, Elephas, can predict clinical response across multiple types of immunotherapies, chemoimmunotherapy and tumor types.

Proton Beam Radiation Therapy After Treatment for Resected N2 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This clinical trial tests proton beam radiation therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have undergone surgical resection and have lymph nodes involving the middle of the chest. Proton therapy is a type of radiation treatment that kills cancer cells while avoiding surrounding healthy tissue. Proton beam therapy is sometimes used after cancer surgery to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence (coming back). Giving proton beam radiation therapy may work better than conventional radiation treatment after surgery in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

High-Dose Firmonertinib Plus Bevacizumab as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable EGFRm Stage II-IIIB NSCLC

This is a Phase II, single-arm, open-label, multicenter clinical study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of Firmonertinib 160 mg combined with Bevacizumab as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable stage II-IIIB Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor(EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Impact of Surgical Approach on Adaptation of Posture-respiratory Coupling

This study aims to identify physiopathologic mechanisms related to surgical approaches during lobectomies for non-small cell lung cancer which can explain the better quality of life and the decrease of of post-operative complications in minimally invasive techniques (video-assisted thoracic surgery and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery) compared to conventional thoracotomy.

Study of Treatment With Sacituzumab and Zimberelimab for Patients With Lung Cancer Confined to the Chest and Previously Operated on Who Were Not Disease-free.

Open-label, phase III, randomized, stratified (PDL1- vs PDL1+), 3 arms, multicenter clinical trial. 129 resected patients (43 per arm) with stage from IB to IIIA and IIIB (N2) non-small cell lung cancer that do not achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant treatment. This clinical trial has 3 arms of treatment. ARM 1: Observation 10 months, ARM 2: treatment with immunotherapy (Zimberelimab) for 13 cycles and ARM 3: treatment with Sacituzumab Govitecan and Zimberelimab for 8 cycles and Zimberelimab monotherapy for 5 cycles. The primary objective is to evaluate the disease-free survival (DFS): defined as the length of time from randomization to the earliest event defined as disease recurrence, any new lung cancer (even in the opposite lung), or death from any cause at any known point in time. Patient accrual is expected to be completed within 2 years, treatment is planned to extend during 1 years and the patients will be followed up for 2 years. The study will end once survival follow-up has concluded.

A Study of Adebrelimab in Combination with Chemo with or Without Bevacizumab Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable NSCLC

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, uncontrolled Phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of adebrelimab in combination with chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab for the treatment of resectable Stage II-IIIB (T3N2) NSQ-NSCLC and to explore biomarkers associated with efficacy.

Neoadjuvant Camrelizumab Combined With Chemotherapy for Resectable Stage IIIA-IIIB NSCLC

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy in resectable stage IIIA and IIIB (T3-4N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Inclusion criteria are: age 18-75, pathologically confirmed resectable stage IIIA-IIIB (T3-4N2) NSCLC, absence of EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 gene mutations, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status 0-1. All patients receive three cycles of camrelizumab combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, followed by curative surgery within 4-6 weeks after completion of chemotherapy. Patients undergo 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scans in 1 week before treatment and 1 week before surgery, and peripheral blood samples are collected for biomarker analysis. The primary endpoints for follow-up are pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and major pathological response (MPR) rate, while secondary endpoints include safety and progression-free survival. Exploratory endpoints include molecular imaging research and biomarker analysis.
