Understanding Why Patients Stop or Continue Lung Cancer Treatment
This research study asks lung cancer patients and their doctors about their experiences taking osimertinib (a targeted cancer medication) after surgery. Researchers want to understand what helps patients stay on this treatment and what makes it hard to continue, so they can better support patients in the future.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06667167RecruitingPhase 2
First-line Keytruda + chemo then Keytruda + Trodelvy for SCLC
This trial tests a two-step treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer: first, chemotherapy combined with Keytruda (an immunotherapy), followed by Keytruda plus Trodelvy (another targeted drug). The goal is to see if this combination helps people live longer and keeps the cancer under control.
Jerusalem, IsraelAges 18–99 - NCT04777084RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus PD-1 antibody for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a combination of lenvatinib and a PD-1/PD-L1–blocking antibody (IBI318) can shrink advanced non-small cell lung cancer and is safe to use. It targets people whose cancer has specific genetic changes or specific prior treatment history, based on three different study groups.
