Tumore del polmone

Studio di fase 1-3 su diverse terapie scelte in base ai biomarcatori nel tumore del polmone non a piccole cellule in stadio III non operabile

Sperimentale In corso, reclutamento chiusoFase 3 Aggiornata al 5 agosto 2026

01

In parole semplici

Lo studio comprende più gruppi, ciascuno dedicato a persone con tumore del polmone non a piccole cellule localmente avanzato in stadio III non operabile, selezionate in base a specifiche caratteristiche molecolari del tumore (biomarcatori), come alterazioni di ALK o ROS1. A ogni gruppo viene proposta una terapia mirata o immunoterapia diversa, in genere dopo la chemioradioterapia. Si valutano attività e sicurezza di ciascun trattamento.

Riassunto in italiano scritto a partire dai dati del registro: per i dettagli fa fede il registro.

Fase 3: si confronta il trattamento con le cure già in uso. Chiedi al tuo oncologo cosa significherebbe nel tuo caso.

Prima di chiedere informazioni

  • Le fasi di una sperimentazione clinica

    Ogni nuovo trattamento viene studiato per fasi. La fase 1 valuta soprattutto sicurezza e dose, la fase 2 inizia a misurare se il trattamento ha effetto, la fase 3 lo confronta con le cure già in uso. La fase 4 lo segue dopo l'autorizzazione.

    Leggi tutta la guida(7 passi)
    1. Prima degli studi sulle persone. Una sostanza viene studiata prima in laboratorio e poi su modelli animali. Solo se questi studi danno indicazioni sufficienti su effetti e sicurezza si passa agli studi sulle persone.
    2. Fase 1. Il trattamento viene dato a un piccolo numero di persone, in pochi centri selezionati. Si osserva se è sicuro, come viene tollerato e quale dose usare. Per le malattie gravi questi studi possono coinvolgere direttamente persone con la malattia.
    3. Fase 2. Partecipano persone con la malattia per cui il trattamento è stato pensato. Si continua a osservare la sicurezza e si inizia a misurare se il trattamento ha effetto. Serve anche a capire quale dose portare nelle fasi successive.
    4. Fase 3. Il trattamento viene confrontato con le cure già in uso, su centinaia o migliaia di persone. Di solito i partecipanti sono assegnati a caso ai gruppi di confronto: si dice «studio randomizzato». Effetti indesiderati, frequenza e gravità sono controllati con molta attenzione.
    5. L'autorizzazione. Se i risultati lo permettono, l'azienda o l'ente che ha promosso lo studio chiede l'autorizzazione a mettere il trattamento a disposizione dei pazienti. Finché non è autorizzato, il trattamento resta sperimentale.
    6. Fase 4. Dopo l'autorizzazione si continua a raccogliere informazioni. Con l'uso su molte più persone possono emergere anche le reazioni più rare, che negli studi precedenti non si potevano vedere.
    7. Che cosa significa per te. La fase dice a che punto è la ricerca su un trattamento. Da sola non dice se uno studio ti riguarda. Chiedi al tuo oncologo che cosa significherebbe nel tuo caso.

    Moduli e documenti (3): Le fasi di una sperimentazione clinica

  • Partecipare a uno studio clinico: consenso, costi, ritiro

    Partecipare è una scelta volontaria. Prima di entrare il medico del centro ti spiega lo studio, ti lascia un foglio informativo da leggere con calma e ti chiede di firmare un consenso. Puoi ritirarti in qualsiasi momento, senza dare spiegazioni e senza perdere il diritto alle cure.

    Leggi tutta la guida(7 passi)
    1. Parlane con il tuo oncologo. Il tuo oncologo conosce la tua storia clinica. Portagli la scheda dello studio e chiedigli che cosa significherebbe nel tuo caso. Può anche prepararti una relazione da presentare al centro.
    2. Contatta il centro. Chiama o scrivi al centro che conduce lo studio. Chiedi se lo studio è ancora aperto, come si prenota il primo colloquio e quali documenti portare. A volte serve l'impegnativa, a volte una lettera del tuo oncologo.
    3. Il colloquio e il foglio informativo. Un medico del gruppo di ricerca ti spiega scopo dello studio, procedure, possibili rischi e benefici, e le alternative disponibili. Ricevi un foglio informativo scritto. Puoi portarlo a casa e parlarne con i familiari, con il medico di famiglia e con il tuo oncologo.
    4. La firma del consenso. Se decidi di partecipare firmi il modulo di consenso informato e ne ricevi una copia. Il modulo è preparato dal centro per quello studio: non esiste un modulo unico da scaricare. Se dici di no, continui a essere curato con le terapie disponibili.
    5. Le visite di selezione. Sono i medici del centro a verificare, con visite ed esami, se rientri nei criteri dello studio. Di norma gli esami previsti solo per lo studio si fanno dopo la firma del consenso. Può succedere che i criteri non siano soddisfatti: in quel caso prosegui le cure con il tuo oncologo.
    6. Durante lo studio. Segui il calendario di visite ed esami previsto dal protocollo. Il medico ti aggiorna se emergono novità che riguardano lo studio. Lo studio è coperto da un'assicurazione per eventuali danni legati alla partecipazione: gli estremi della polizza sono nei documenti che ricevi.
    7. Ritirarsi. Puoi lasciare lo studio quando vuoi e per qualsiasi motivo. Avvisa appena possibile il medico dello studio: serve a sospendere il trattamento in modo sicuro, e può proporti una visita di controllo finale. Continui ad avere diritto alle cure.
