This trial tests a new drug, MBRC-201, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it helps shrink tumors or slow their growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06717295Recruiting
Blood test to find cancer early and track treatment
This study uses a blood test that looks at your platelets and immune cells to find common cancers early, and for certain cancers, to monitor how well treatment is working.
RosarioAges 40–75 - NCT06472804Recruiting
Insomnia in advanced lung cancer patients
This study looks at how common insomnia (trouble sleeping) is in people with advanced lung cancer. It aims to better understand sleep problems so doctors can help patients sleep better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06634056RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing lung inflammation during chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether two medicines, pentoxifylline and vitamin E, can help prevent a type of lung inflammation called pneumonitis in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who are getting chemoradiation and a checkpoint inhibitor. These medicines are already used for other conditions and may lower the risk of this side effect.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07460440Recruiting
Screening for lung cancer with a blood test
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for signs of lung cancer in your blood platelets. If you have a lung nodule that needs further testing or have been diagnosed with lung cancer, this test might help doctors find cancer earlier.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 21 years+ - NCT05098132RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
STK-012 drug for advanced lung cancer and other tumors
This trial tests STK-012 (alone and with other treatments) in people with advanced cancers, especially non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by activating the immune system to recognize and fight the tumor.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06858813RecruitingPhase 1
ABBV-324 for advanced liver or lung cancer
This study tests an experimental IV drug (ABBV-324) for adults with advanced liver cancer (HCC) or advanced squamous lung cancer (LUSC). It aims to see if the drug is safe and whether it can help control the disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06016569Recruiting
Breath test for early lung cancer in high-risk smokers
This study tests a new breath test to find early signs of lung cancer in people at high risk. It looks for cancer biomarkers in the air you breathe out. If you are a heavy smoker between 55 and 74, this trial may help detect lung cancer earlier.
BrnoAges 55–74 - NCT04539977RecruitingPhase 2
PD-L1 antibody plus chemotherapy for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a PD-L1 antibody to chemotherapy helps people with newly diagnosed limited-stage small-cell lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. It may benefit patients who have not had any prior cancer treatment for SCLC and can meet health and lab requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05913089RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new lung cancer drug with chemotherapy or an anti-angiogenesis pill
This Phase 2 trial tests TQB2450 (a new cancer medicine) added to chemotherapy, or along with an oral medicine called anlotinib, for stage II–IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people who are getting curative surgery and have not had prior cancer drug treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04992780RecruitingPhase 2
Hypo-fractionated radiation versus standard radiation for lung cancer
This study compares two different radiation schedules for stage III non-small cell lung cancer, both combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. It aims to see whether giving radiation in a different way can work as well (or better) and be safe while treating the cancer.
