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.

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Lung
Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed and previously treated stage IV or recurrent KRAS G12C mutated non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to see if we lower the chance of the growth or spread of KRASG12C-mutated advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer by using the study drug AMG 510. Participants can expect to be on this study until disease progression, the side effects become too severe, or the participant decides to discontinue the study.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to using pembrolizumab plus the usual treatment. The investigational drug in this study is pembrolizumab. This drug, pembrolizumab is already approved by the FDA for use in patients with more advanced lung cancer. Participants can expect to be on treatment for up to a year. Participants will be followed for up to 10 years after completion of treatment.

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Lung
Summary

The purpose of this research is to evaluate if including the investigational Nodify XL2 test results in the decision-making process when planning the management of lung nodules will reduce the number of unnecessary surgical and biopsy procedures. The general study procedures include obtaining blood samples for Nodify XL2 tests, collecting relevant medical information (including test results ordered by your doctor in the management of your lung nodule), and documenting your doctor's recommendations for the treatment of your lung nodule. Participation in this research study may last up to 18 months.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out if a targeted immunotherapy treatment will have an effect on specific genes and proteins in tumors. This is a screening study in which a tumor sample will be submitted for testing. Based on results, the participant will be assigned to one of the treatment sub-studies.

A Sham Controlled Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial of the RejuvenAir System for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with Chronic Bronchitis (SPRAY-CB)

PRO Number

List of Studies


Keywords
Breathing, Lung, Pulmonary, Shortness of Breath
Summary

This research study will be evaluating whether liquid nitrogen sprayed on the cells lining the airways (cryotherapy) can reduce the mucus produced in the lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study involves bronchoscopies, (placement of a lighted, flexible scope into the lungs) under general anesthesia to deliver the treatment to the lungs. The study is randomized such that 2/3 of individuals get the cryotherapy and the other 1/3 get a sham (control) treatment with no cryotherapy. Participants in the sham control group will be evaluated for eligible for cryotherapy at end of year one. The Study duration is 36 months. Those initially randomized to the treatment group, they will have 7 clinic visits and 2 treatment visits. Participants randomized to sham group will have 11 clinic visits and 4 treatment visits.

Investigation of the Efficacy of Antimycobacterial Therapy on Pulmonary Sarcoidosis Phase II Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00067313
Researcher
Walter James

List of Studies


Keywords
Lung, Pulmonary, Sarcoidosis
Summary

You are being asked to take part in this research study because you have been diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis is a disease that can affect the lungs, skin and other organs of the body. Sarcoidosis also involves immune cells which fight bacteria. The purpose of this study is to see if using specific antibiotics will help these immune fighting cells get rid of bacterial proteins and how the antibiotics affect respiratory (breathing) function. The antibiotics used in this study are Levaquin, Ethambutol, Azithromycin, and either Rifampin or Rifabutin. You will by chance be assigned either these medicines or a placebo (an inactive substance).

Multicenter International Durability and Safety of Sirolimus in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM)Trial (MIDAS)

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00059134
Researcher
Charlie Strange

List of Studies


Keywords
Lung, Pulmonary, Rare Diseases
Summary

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare lung disease that is caused by genetic mutations. It results in the uncontrolled growth and proliferation of an atypical smooth muscle cells in the lung. These cells invade airways, blood vessels, and lymph vessels, and limit the flow of air, blood, and lymph, respectively. The source of the cells is unknown, but available evidence indicates they arise from an extrapulmonary source. Their aberrant behavior is due to mutations in tuberous sclerosis genes that results in mTOR activation. Respiratory failure, lung collapse (pneumothorax), and pleural effusions (chylothorax) are hallmarks of the disease. This study will evaluate the safety and durability of the mTOR inhibitors sirolimus and everolimus, which are FDA approved medications for prevention of rejection of transplanted organs, in stabilizing or improving lung function in people in LAM.
