Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with advanced or early-stage lung cancer who are receiving specific therapies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with certain genetic mutations or those with concurrent psychiatric disorders may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational cohort study aims to investigate the relationship between sleep disturbances and the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with lung cancer. It includes five cohorts focusing on different patient groups, such as those with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), as well as patients undergoing surgery for early-stage NSCLC. The study will assess how sleep quality impacts cancer progression and treatment outcomes, providing valuable insights into patient prognosis. Participants will be monitored for their sleep disturbance status and treatment responses over time.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for lung cancer patients by addressing sleep disturbances.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific associations of sleep disturbances with lung cancer treatment outcomes are less explored, similar studies in other cancer types have shown promising results.
