Lung Cancer Clinical Trials in United Kingdom

In DESTINY-Pan-Tumor \[DP-02\], DESTINY CRC02 \[DC-02\], and DESTINY-Lung01 \[DL-01\], T-DXd demonstrated tumor response across a broad range of HER2-expressing solid tumors, particularly IHC3+ patients. This study will use real-world data (RWD) to identify IHC3+ patients in the real world who received standard of care (SoC) and compare them with IHC3+ patients who received T-DXd in the referent trials. The tumors included are: non-small cell lung cancer \[NSCLC\], colorectal cancer \[CRC\], endometrial cancer, bladder cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, pancreatic cancer, biliary tract cancers, and other tumors. This is a real-world external control arm (ECA) study to generate evidence on the comparative effectiveness of T-DXd versus real-world (RW) SoC in adult patients with HER2 IHC3+ solid tumors who have received prior systemic treatment. HER2 IHC3+ patients who initiated 5.4mg/kg of T-DXd in the referent trials (DP-02, DC-02, and DL-01) will be compared against IHC3+ patients who received RW SoC. This will be a retrospective observational study which will use secondary real-world data and data collected in the 3 aforementioned trials. Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness with respect to overall survival (OS) for T-DXd vs SoC for patients with HER2 IHC3+ expressing solid tumors in two pooled cohorts: one cohort reflecting the tumors in the three referent trials (referred to as the 'tumor agnostic' cohort), consisting of patients with NSCLC, CRC, endometrial, epithelial ovarian, cervical, pancreatic, biliary tract cancers, and other tumors; and a second cohort reflecting the tumors in the DP-02 trial (referred to as 'pan tumor'), consisting of the same tumors but excluding NSCLC and CRC.

The Phase 2 monotherapy portion of this study is currently enrolling and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PC14586 (INN rezatapopt) in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation. The Phase 1 portion of the study will assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of multiple dose levels of rezatapopt as monotherapy and in Phase 1b in combination with pembrolizumab.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, drug levels, and preliminary efficacy of BMS-986507 combinations in adult participants with advanced solid tumors. Read Less

The goal of this platform clinical trial is to test how well novel treatment combinations work in participants with lung cancer. Substudy-01 will compare the different novel combinations versus standard of care in participants with metastatic (cancer that has spread) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not been treated before. Substudy-02 will compare the different novel combination versus standard of care in participants with cancer that has progressed after receiving previous treatment for metastatic NSCLC. Substudy-03 will compare the different novel combinations versus standard of care in participants with resectable stage II-III NSCLC. The primary objectives of this study are: Substudy-01 and Substudy-02: To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) assessed per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). Substudy-03: To evaluate the efficacy of treatment combinations based on complete pathological response (pCR) rate. Read Less

Overview Sierra Medical is at the forefront of early detection of lung cancer by creating AIR-DS, a non-invasive early detection test. This innovative approach aims to significantly enhance the early identification of lung cancer, potentially catching it at its most treatable stages through a simple cheek swab. How it works The effectiveness of AIR-DS stems from its ability to identify small biochemical changes in cells from the inner cheek. These biochemical changes can serve as early indicators of lung cancer. The procedure involves taking a cheek swab, which is then analysed using non-damaging infrared light technology. The RADICAL REACT study To introduce this technology into a healthcare setting the sponsor needs to validate its effectiveness through rigorous testing. The RADICAL REACT trial plans to involve around 450 participants highly suspected to have lung cancer. Each participant will provide a cheek swab and basic medical history information during a single clinic visit. The data collected will be analysed with AIR-DS to identify whether individuals with lung cancer can be identified accurately. Why it matters AIR-DS could significantly advance lung cancer detection, focusing on early, accurate diagnosis through a non-invasive cheek swab. Beyond improving patient outcomes by enabling timely intervention, it also introduces a cost-effective approach to early lung cancer detection. AIR-DS aims to alleviate the financial burden on healthcare systems and patients by reducing the need for more expensive and/or invasive diagnostic procedures. Read Less

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is metastatic, which means cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Some people with metastatic NSCLC are treated with pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy treatment that is given into a vein as an intravenous (IV) infusion. Pembrolizumab (+) Berahyaluronidase alfa is pembrolizumab that is given under the skin as a subcutaneous (SC) injection. The goal of this study is to compare what happens to pembrolizumab in a person's body over time when it is given as an IV infusion or SC injection. Read Less

Background: Some health conditions make breathing difficult and uncomfortable. When this happens every day, it is called chronic breathlessness. Over 3 million people living with heart and lung disease have chronic breathlessness in the UK. Breathlessness is very difficult for patients themselves and their families, resulting in disability and feelings of fear, distress, and isolation. Due a to lack of supportive breathlessness services many patients frequently attend hospital Accident and Emergency (A\&E) departments seeking help. Given the on-going challenges faced by the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom, such as long waiting times, staff shortages, increased demand for services because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need to develop new ways to support those living with chronic breathlessness. One potential solution is to offer support online, as it is estimated that in the UK, 7 out of every 10 people with chronic breathlessness are internet users. With the help of patients and NIHR funding the research team lead by Dr Charles Reilly, developed an online breathlessness supportive website called SELF-BREATHE. SELF-BREATHE provides information and self-management tools such as breathing exercises, that patients can do at home themselves. SELF-BREATHE has been tested as part of its development. SELF-BREATHE is acceptable and valued by patients. But what is unknown is whether SELF-BREATHE improves patients' breathlessness and their life? This is the question this research seeks to answer. Aims 1. To test if using SELF-BREATHE for six-weeks improves patients' breathlessness, their quality of life and whether SELF-BREATHE should be offered within the NHS 2. To see if patients opt to continue to use SELF-BREATHE after six-weeks and what benefits this may have for patients. Methods The research team are undertaking a randomised controlled trial. For this, 246 people living with chronic breathlessness will be recruited in to this study. Each person will be randomly chosen by a computer to continue with their usual care or their usual care plus access to SELF-BREATHE. All study participants will complete questionnaires at the start of the study, thereafter at seven and twelve weeks after randomisation. These questionnaires will ask patients about 1) their breathlessness and its effect on their life and 2) planned and unplanned hospital visits. At the end of the study, we will compare answers to these questionnaires between the two groups at seven and 12 weeks. This will tell if SELF-BREATHE improved patients' breathlessness and reduced their need for unplanned hospital visits e.g., A\&E attendances due to breathlessness. Read Less

The study will use a blood sample collected from participants to: * Develop new ways of finding and diagnosing lung health problems, such as lung cancer. * Develop tools which make it easier to screen people with possible lung health problems, diagnose problems earlier and with fewer tests, and start the best treatment faster. * Help improve the early diagnosis of lung cancer, as finding lung cancer early means that it can be treated more easily and successfully.
