Study of adebelimumab and apatinib for extensive stage small cell lung cancer maintenance
This trial tests whether adding two targeted therapies (adebelimumab, an immunotherapy, and apatinib, a drug that blocks blood vessel growth) after initial chemotherapy can help keep extensive stage small cell lung cancer under control. It is for people who have not yet had systemic treatment for their cancer and are in good enough health to try this maintenance approach.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT06481566Recruiting
Almonertinib plus radiation for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests combining a targeted pill (almonertinib) with precise radiation to the lung for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the pill alone.
