Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to using SBRT plus the usual treatment. This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is better than the usual approach. To decide if it is better, the study doctors will be looking to see if the addition of SBRT increases the life of patients by 6 months or more compared to the usual approach. The study drugs are nivolumab and ipilimumab. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 2 years.

Development of a nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease symptom scale (NTM-SS)

Keywords

Summary

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) cause a chronic pulmonary infection associated with cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath. We seek to develop and test a disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) in well-characterized populations of patients with NTM pulmonary disease. Ultimately, a validated PROM for individuals with NTM pulmonary disease will fill a critical need for effective NTM treatments by improving clinical trial design and identifying a meaningful endpoint that can guide therapeutic development.

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Lung
Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples to determine if a blood-based test can be used to identify lung cancers that may or may not also be seen on images of lungs. Additionally, the study aims to see if a blood-based test can identify other types of cancers and health conditions.

The American Lung Association (ALA) Lung Health Cohort (LHC)

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00108970
Researcher
Charlie Strange

List of Studies


Keywords
Healthy Volunteer Studies, Lung, Pulmonary
Summary

A main focus of the study is to identify characteristics that can be changed such as smoking, vaping and diet, environmental exposures (e.g. pollution such as car exhaust, allergies such as pet dander) that affect lung function and risk of future lung disease. We also are looking for biomarkers (e.g. measurements of specific substances in nose, blood, and urine samples) and genetic markers that can provide us with information about lung health. The findings in this study are considered research and are not the same as "genetic testing."

A Multi-center, Single-Dose and Repeat-Dose Over Eight Weeks, Sequential Cohort Study to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability as well as Pharmacokinetics of Two Different Doses of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor Subcutaneous (Human) 15% Administered Subcutaneously in Subjects with Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency

Summary

This study is designed to evaluate a new therapy formulation for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). AATD is an inherited condition in which a person has low blood levels of a protein known as alpha-1 protease inhibitor (called Alpha1-PI). AATD causes an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the form of emphysema (long term lung disease) and, less frequently, other diseases.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 different doses of Alpha-1 drugs (Alpha-1 15% and Liquid Alpha1-PI) in participants with AATD. Participants will be placed into one of two groups. Each group will receive both drugs at different points in the treatment period and because this is an "open label", study participants and the study staff know which dose of study drug participants receive. The study will last up to 486 days (16 months). Many visits are able to be conducted through home health care, lessening the need to come into the clinic.

Alpha-1 15% is an investigational product, meaning it is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The other drug in this study is Liquid Alpha1-PI (licensed as Prolastin®-C Liquid) and is an FDA approved treatment for adults with emphysema due to AATD. However, it is only approved for the recommended dose of 60 mg/kg. This study includes both the FDA approved 60mg/kg of Liquid Alpha1-PI and an experimental dose of 120 mg/kg that is not FDA approved. Alpha-1 15% is given as an injection under the skin and Liquid Alpha1-PI is given as an infusion into the veins.

You may or may not directly benefit from participation. However, you may help advance scientific knowledge in the treatment of AATD. Currently, the only FDA approved treatment for AATD is IV infusions of Liquid Alpha1-PI. Since the drug being studied, Alpha-1 15%, is injected with a small needle under your skin, there may be a benefit to future patients by providing flexibility of treatment route options as well as stability in serum alpha1-antitrypsin levels.

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Lung
Summary

This study aims to create a test that will detect changes in the genes found in the patient's blood very soon after he/she develops lung cancer. Detecting lung cancer at an early stage can significantly reduce the chance that the patient will die from lung cancer. This test is expected to perform better than any other tests that are currently available.
