Symbiotic-Lung-10: A Study to Learn About PF-08634404 Alone or in Combination in Early-stage or Locally Advanced NSCLC

This study is being done to learn more about a new medicine called PF-08634404. The study team wants to understand how well it works when given alone or with chemotherapy. The study is for adults with early stage or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that may or may not be removable with surgery. The study is seeking participants who: * Are aged 18 years or older * Have either: * Early-stage or locally advanced (Stage II or IIIA/B) NSCLC and are a candidate for neoadjuvant therapy, followed by surgical removal of the tumor. Neoadjuvant therapy is a treatment given as a first step to shrink the tumor before surgery. * Early-stage or locally advanced (Stage II or IIIA/B) NSCLC and are a candidate for adjuvant therapy and did not achieve a pathological complete response (pCR) from approved treatment that was administered before surgery. Adjuvant therapy is an additional cancer treatment given after the primary treatment to lower the risk that the cancer will come back. pCR is defined as absence of viable tumor in all surgically removed samples. * Locally advanced (Stage III) NSCLC that may not be removable with surgery, was treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT), and is a candidate for additional treatment, otherwise known as consolidation therapy. cCRT is chemotherapy and radiation given simultaneously. * Be in good physical condition and have healthy organs based on medical tests. * Do not have known actionable changes in DNA The study has 3 parts and each participant will be assigned to one part by their doctor based on their disease diagnosis: * Part A will test PF-08634404 given with chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting, followed by surgery. * Part B will test PF-08634404 alone in adults who already were treated with neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy, underwent surgery, and did not achieve pCR per tumor tissue pathology analysis. Neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy refers to the combination of chemotherapy with immunotherapy per local standard-of-care, given before surgical removal of the tumor. * Part C will test PF-08634404 alone in adults with unresectable disease who received cCRT and did not have progressive disease. Progressive disease refers to a condition that grows, spreads, or worsens. All treatments will be done at clinical study sites, where a trained medical team will monitor adults during and after each visit.

Study of Three Endpoints to Assess the Benefit of Rehabilitation in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Controlled After at Least 6 Months of Systemic Treatment

The objective of this study is to identify an outcome that is relevant for assessing the benefit of rehabilitation in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer whose disease has been stable or responding for at least 6 months with systemic treatment. Many people living with lung cancer experience asthenia, which reduces daily activity, independence, and quality of life. Regular physical activity (PA) is recommended for the management of all chronic diseases, including cancer. PA can be done independently by the patient or supervised by adapted physical activity instructors (EAPA) at home or in a day hospital (HDJ) in medical and rehabilitation care departments (SMR), where it is covered by social security. Rehabilitation program and physical activity may help improve strength, function, and social participation, for patients with non-small cell lung cancer . In this study, patients will participate in a 3-month rehabilitation program. We will measure quality of life, hand grip strength, and the Five Times Sit to Stand Test, before and after the program. Other measures will include daily step counts, nutrition, overall health status, continuation of cancer treatment, program adherence, and participant satisfaction. About 63 participants will be recruited in several hospitals, including CHUGA, CHMS and CHANGE. This patients will be able to choose a program that suits them and is available as part of they care. We are expecting 50 patients to participate in one of the rehabilitation program. The main goal is to identify the most useful outcomes to assess in future studies that will compare different rehabilitation approaches for people with lung cancer.

CAIX-targeted PET/CT in Solid Tumors

Tumor hypoxic microenvironment plays an important role in the initiation and progression of solid tumors, as well as tumor invasion, metastasis, and treatment resistance. Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), as a crucial downstream molecule regulated by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), is highly expressed in various solid tumors and is closely associated with tumor invasiveness, treatment response, and prognosis; thus, it represents an ideal target for tumor diagnosis and therapy. This study aims to explore the diagnostic value of CAIX-targeted PET/CT imaging in various solid tumors, as well as the correlation between tumor uptake and tissue CAIX expression.

Zusanli (ST36) Electroacupuncture Treatment for Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study aims to investigate the potential synergistic effects of acupuncture combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer therapy. Over the past decade, significant progress in cancer immunotherapy has been driven by breakthroughs in understanding immune checkpoint molecules; however, monotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors still faces challenges due to low response rates. As a traditional Chinese medical intervention, acupuncture modulates neuro-immune pathways to achieve remote regulation of organ functions, with particular anti-tumor potential observed at the Zusanli (ST36) acupoint-a site located 2 cm below the knee that can be stimulated via electroacupuncture (EA) to improve gastrointestinal function and alleviate inflammation. Preclinical evidence demonstrates that EA suppresses tumor growth in breast cancer models, reduces levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and TNF-α, enhances anti-tumor activity of CD8+ T cells and NK cells, and decreases accumulation of immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Animal studies show that ST36 EA increases key immunomodulatory factors like serum IFN-γ, IL-2, and IL-17, thereby potentiating the efficacy of anti-tumor drugs. Guided by the traditional TCM principle of "reinforcing healthy qi to consolidate the body's resistance," modern clinical applications of EA combined with specific acupoint regimens (e.g., ST36, Sanyinjiao) have effectively alleviated cancer-related pain, chemotherapy-induced side effects, and fatigue. This study will evaluate the safety and immunosensitization effects of ST36 EA combined with PD-1 inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer patients, employing 1 mA electroacupuncture for 3 consecutive days to activate immune responses. By leveraging acupuncture-induced immune remodeling, this approach aims to provide a novel integrative medicine strategy to overcome resistance to immunotherapy.

Surgical Outcome Of da Vinci Single-port Surgical System In Lung Cancer

Early-stage lung cancer represents a clinical challenge that, when diagnosed promptly, offers high chances of cure through lobectomy and lymphadenectomy. In addition to traditional surgery, robotic techniques have become established and have recently evolved further with the Single-Port system, which allows the procedure to be performed through a single subcostal incision rather than multiple openings between the ribs. This approach reduces invasiveness, postoperative pain, and recovery time, while maintaining the same oncological effectiveness and safety as standard techniques. This is a monocentric and non-profit collection of clinical data, both prospective and retrospective, from patients treated with this method, ensuring data privacy through coded information and compliance with current regulations; the study is independent and non-profit.

Practical Geriatric Assessment in Older Adults With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Undergoing Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

National guidelines recommend that older adults with cancer undergo a special health assessment before starting cancer treatment. This type of assessment evaluates physical function, nutrition, social support, psychological well-being, medical conditions (both cancer-related and non-cancer-related), and cognitive function. The results can help doctors make better treatment decisions and determine whether additional support services-such as nutrition counseling, physical therapy, or social work-would be beneficial. Even though these assessments are recommended, they are not typically used because they need to be performed by a specialist and can take over an hour to complete. Given these challenges, a 10-15-minute assessment called the Practical Geriatric Assessment (PGA) was recently developed. The PGA can be completed by any healthcare provider and helps identify older adults who may need extra support alongside their cancer treatment. While the PGA has the potential to make geriatric assessments more accessible, the investigators do not yet know whether patients will find it useful or easy to complete. Additionally, it is unclear whether using the PGA will lead to more referrals for recommended supportive care services. This study aims to address these questions. The investigators will evaluate whether using the PGA impacts the number of patients referred to recommended supportive care services. Investigators will also evaluate how participants feel about completing the PGA, including how easy or difficult it is, and to assess the feasibility of implementing this survey on a larger scale. Finally, the investigators will use facial photographs and audio-visual data from the PGA to develop and evaluate artificial intelligence algorithm(s) to identify vulnerable patients who might benefit from additional supportive care services; namely, FaceAge, a validated deep learning model capable of estimating biological age from still facial images.

Navigation Bronchoscopy Guided Microwave Ablation Versus SBRT in Early NSCLC

Background: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a standard definitive local therapy for medically inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Navigation bronchoscopy guided microwave ablation is an emerging alternative that may reduce treatment burden and avoid ionising radiation. However, comparative evidence against SBRT remains limited. Objective: To generate relevant comparative evidence to inform treatment selection for medically inoperable patients or patients who decline surgery with early-stage NSCLC. Methods: This is a Hong Kong led, pragmatic, multicentre, parallel group randomised controlled clinical trial with open label treatment delivery and blinded end point assessment. Eligible participants will be randomised one to one to navigation bronchoscopy guided microwave ablation or SBRT. Surveillance includes scheduled chest computed tomography at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, with independent blinded imaging adjudication using a prespecified review charter. The primary end point is 24-month local tumour control, defined as absence of local progression of the treated lesion. The primary analysis will follow intention to treat and will test noninferiority using an absolute risk difference margin of 0.15. Secondary outcomes include time to local progression, progression free survival, overall survival, treatment related toxicity and serious adverse events, patient reported outcomes including quality of life trajectories, and healthcare utilisation such as hospital visits, unplanned admissions, and retreatment. The target sample size is 100 participants, providing adequate power for the prespecified noninferiority margin and supporting secondary outcome estimation. Impact: Findings will directly inform multidisciplinary decision making, local pathway design, and service planning in Hong Kong and collaborating centres.
