Lung Neoplasm

This multicenter prospective clinical study focuses on elderly patients with lung cancer. We will build a standardized clinical registry database, develop perioperative risk stratification and surgical early-warning models, optimize individualized surgical regimens, construct multidisciplinary perioperative comprehensive therapy, integrated Chinese-Western medicine full-cycle management and personalized postoperative rehabilitation systems, so as to form a whole-process optimized treatment model for elderly lung cancer.

Researchers are looking for other ways to treat metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Squamous NSCLC is cancer that starts in squamous cells, which are flat cells that line the inside of the airways in the lungs. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Standard treatment (usual treatment) for metastatic squamous NSCLC is immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy. Immunotherapy is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Chemotherapy is medicine that destroys cancer cells or stops them from growing. However, standard treatment may not work or may stop working to treat metastatic squamous NSCLC. Researchers want to learn if study treatments that are antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) can treat metastatic squamous NSCLC that did not respond (get smaller or go away) to standard treatment. An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The main goals of this study are to learn about: * The cancer response to the study treatments compared to chemotherapy * The safety of the study treatments and if people tolerate them This study is one of the substudies being conducted under one pembrolizumab umbrella master protocol (MK-3475-U01/KEYMAKER-U01).

The goal of this observational validation study is to determine the best implementation of fluoroscopic and CT ventilation imaging in patients having non-stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (non-SABR) radiotherapy for stages II-IV lung cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Assess the dosimetric variation in functional avoidance radiation therapy (RT) plans produced using these ventilation imaging techniques, * Establish a quality assurance procedure for functional lung avoidance radiation therapy, and * Evaluate the clinical acceptable thresholds for accuracy of the method. Participants will: Prior to radiation therapy treatment, patients will undergo: 1. A standard of care 4DCT scan for radiation therapy simulation, 2. Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT) 3. A 4D attenuation correction CT 4. Breath Hold Computed Tomography (BHCT) imaging where static end-inspiration and end-expiration BHCT scans will be acquired, 5. Nuclear medicine imaging where a Tc-99m MAA SPECT perfusion scan and a Galligas PET ventilation scan will be acquired, 6. Fluoroscopy where 1-breath cine-fluoroscope sequences will be acquired at five different angles across the chest, 7. A 4D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (4DCBCT) scan. 8. Scans in points 4 to 7 above will be repeated at the end of treatment. Individual participants provide their own internal control. Galligas PET ventilation images (control) are compared with ventilation images derived from additional scans (comparator) for each participant. Tc-99m MAA SPECT perfusion images (control) are compared with perfusion images derived from BHCT scans (comparator) for each patient. There will be no change to patient treatment and patients will be treated using a standard of care anatomical based treatment plan. The pre-treatment 4DCBCT scan is part of standard of care.

The Multi-OutcoMe EvaluatioN of radiation Therapy Using the Unity MR-Linac Study (MOMENTUM) is a multi-institutional, international registry facilitating evidenced based implementation of the Unity MR-Linac technology and further technical development of the MR-Linac system with the ultimate purpose to improve patients' survival, local, and regional tumor control and quality of life.

Patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer have been historically treated with surgery whenever they are fit for an operation. However, an alternative treatment known as stereotactic radiotherapy now appears to offer an equally effective alternative. Doctors believe both are good treatments and are therefore conducting this study to determine if one may be possibly better than the other.

This study plans to investigate the effectiveness of six-week light exposure combined with an exercise training program on improving sleep-wake rhythm, physical and mental symptoms, quality of life, one-year recurrence rate, and one-year survival rate of patients with lung and esophageal cancer.

This clinical trial is looking at a combination of drugs called trastuzumab and pertuzumab. This combination of drugs is approved together as standard of care treatment for adult patients with breast cancer (often with other anti-cancer drugs). This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab work in patients with these types of cancers which have a molecular alteration called HER2 amplification or HER2 activating mutation. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which are also HER2 amplified or HER2 mutated. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.

Immunotherapy have revolutionized the field of oncology, but response rates are low and all patients relapse, due to cellular and soluble immunosuppressive mechanisms. These immunosuppressive mechanisms will be better characterized and their involvement in therapeutic responses in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Indeed, large transcriptomic analysis of different subsets of immunosuppressive cells will performed, correlating them to clinical outcome in a cohort of stage III disease, treated by radiochemotherapy and immunotherapy as maintenance, and stage IV treated by immunotherapy as first-line treatment. Furthermore, we will analyse cellular mechanisms by in vitro studies, assessing the effect of immunosuppressive cells, provided by fresh tumor samples, on phenotype and functions of lung cancer cell lines. The aim of this study is to better characterize immunosuppressive landscape of NSCLC and mechanisms involved in their protumor functions.

This is an open label, multicenter, phase 1/2 study to assess the safety/tolerability and preliminary clinical activity of STAR0602 as a single agent administered intravenously in participants with advanced solid tumors that are antigen-rich.

ReSECT is a project promoted by the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery with the aim not only to become an indefinite, dynamic and inclusive registry, but also to establish a common structural framework for the development of future multicentre projects in the field of thoracic surgery in Spain. The goal of this nationwide prospective observational registry is: * To develop and validate forecasting tools based on powerful computational methods with the goal of assisting in decision-making and improving quality of care. * To evaluate the progressive implementation of certain surgical techniques that are on the rise, new technologies and future health programs. * To be aware of our results as specialty and professionals and to serve as a permanent benchmarking instrument in thoracic surgery. The first part of ReSECT, based on a personal registry design, will contemplate any thoracic surgical procedure performed by thoracic surgeons and residents in thoracic surgery in our country. Additionally, the Spanish thoracic surgery departments that voluntarily accept to collectively participate will contribute to specific surgical processes focused on certain procedures with specific objectives to be progressively implemented. The first and only surgical process implemented since the start of the ReSECT project will focus on patients to undergo anatomical lung resection with special interest in those cases whose reason for intervention was lung cancer. The main questions to answer in case of that first surgical process include: * What is the performance of current predictive models for perioperative and oncological outcomes in our country? * How could we modify previous predictive models to improve their performance? * What is the implementation of current guideline recommendations in our country and across institutions? * What is the potential impact of deviations from current recommendations? * What is my performance compared to the rest of the thoracic surgical departments in my country in terms of perioperative and oncological outcomes? ReSECT does not consider prespecified comparison groups of patients.

The purpose of this study is the identification of the intersegmental plane and navigation during sublobar pulmonary resections in lung cancer using Hyperspectral Imaging, the comparison with ICG fluorescence intersegmental plane identification, and the establishment of automatic intersegmental plane navigation using machine learning strategies for intraoperative navigation.
