It aims to find if the drug helps before or after surgery or after standard treatments.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07412327Recruiting
Proton therapy for early stage lung cancer
This trial tests a precise form of proton radiation for people with early stage lung cancer who cannot have surgery. It aims to see if this treatment is effective and safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07358715Recruiting
Liquid biopsy to improve lung cancer screening
This study tests whether a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) can help find lung cancer earlier in people at high risk. It also includes people already diagnosed with lung cancer to refine the test.
SingaporeAges 21–75 - NCT06730295RecruitingPhase 2
Lung cancer radiation trial shrinking target margins
This trial tests a newer, more precise way of giving radiation for lung cancer tumors that are near the center of the chest. The goal is to see if using a smaller treatment area can reduce side effects while still killing the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07288034RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy biomarkers for advanced lung cancer
This study looks at blood and tissue biomarkers to predict how well immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It also helps decide the best second treatment if the first one stops working.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07253142RecruitingPhase 2
Study of HLX43 with Serplulimab for advanced lung cancer
