Researchers are investigating a multi-modal artificial intelligence AI framework designed to improve the classification and genetic subtyping of lung cancer using PETCT imaging and clinical information such as age, gender, smoking history, family cancer history, and tumor biomarkers. This observational study aims to accurately distinguish between small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC, and then further divide NSCLC into subtypes including adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Additionally, the study evaluates the prediction of the EGFR gene mutation status, especially common in lung adenocarcinoma patients. All participants undergo a pre-treatment 18F-FDG PETCT scan. The study cohort is divided into training, validation, test, and prospective groups for analysis. The AI framework is developed and tested using retrospective data, followed by prospective validation to assess the models accuracy in pathological and genetic subtyping. This structured approach aims to facilitate a precise and hierarchical stratification process for lung cancer patients. Participants will provide clinical information and have their PETCT images analyzed as part of the study. Researchers will measure the accuracy of lung cancer subtype differentiation and EGFR mutation prediction over a one-year period. The study involves no drug interventions, focusing on imaging data, clinical records, and AI model development. The total participation time varies, with assessments primarily based on imaging and clinical data collected before treatment begins.

Researchers are evaluating a new form of hormone therapy called ASP5541 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. This phase 2 study compares ASP5541 given by injection with the standard abiraterone acetate tablets, both combined with a steroid called prednisone or prednisolone. The study aims to assess how well ASP5541 works and its safety in men who have not previously been treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, including specific evaluation in Japanese men. Participants are divided into three groups based on their cancer type and treatment history. ASP5541 is given as a muscle injection every 12 weeks, while abiraterone acetate is taken as a daily tablet. Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer take prednisone or prednisolone twice daily, and men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer take it once daily. All groups also receive standard care such as androgen deprivation therapy. Some participants will monitor blood pressure at home weekly. During the study, men visit the clinic regularly for health checks, safety monitoring, and scans to observe any changes in their cancer. The frequency and type of visits depend on each participants health and treatment stage. Researchers will measure prostate-specific antigen PSA levels, adverse events, physical exams, ECGs, and performance status to evaluate treatment effects and safety. The study may last up to about 3 years for some outcomes, with longer follow-up for certain measures.
