Testing low-dose radiation with immunotherapy and chemo for early oral cancer
This trial tests if combining a low dose of radiation with an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) and a chemotherapy drug (albumin-bound paclitaxel) before surgery can help treat early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07008742Recruiting
Blood and tissue collection study for certain lung cancers
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) either before or after treatment. It aims to help researchers learn more about how tumors respond, especially in cancers with specific genetic changes or after certain pre-surgery therapies.
London, United KingdomAges 18 years+ - NCT07024433Recruiting
No-breathing-tube surgery for early lung cancer
This study tests a special 'tubeless' anesthesia technique — avoiding breathing tubes during surgery — for people with early-stage lung cancer. The goal is to see if it reduces lung problems after the operation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT07034326RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Acupuncture plus immunotherapy after lung cancer surgery
This trial explores whether adding electroacupuncture (a gentle needle treatment with mild electric pulses) to standard immunotherapy after lung cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is designed for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who have already had chemotherapy.
TianjinAges 18–80 - NCT07042724Recruiting
Exercise and nutrition for early-stage lung cancer
This study explores whether a personalized exercise and nutrition program can improve outcomes for people with early-stage NSCLC. If you qualify, you will receive support from a health team and use a device to monitor your progress.
VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT07182682RecruitingPhase 3
Sunvozertinib after surgery for early-stage NSCLC with certain EGFR mutations
This trial tests the drug sunvozertinib given after surgery to see if it prevents lung cancer from coming back. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that has specific changes in the EGFR gene (exon20 insertion or PACC mutations).
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07195084Recruiting
Proton therapy for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a new type of proton radiation for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if it's safe and works well, with less damage to healthy tissue.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07257471Recruiting
Methylation markers in early-stage lung cancer with ablation therapy
This trial tests if a special treatment called co-ablation can help people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot or choose not to have surgery. It also looks at certain markers in the blood to better understand the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT07564557Recruiting
