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 - NCT05778708Recruiting
Tai Chi and aerobic exercise for mood and sleep in late lung cancer
This study tests whether Tai Chi and aerobic exercise can improve clusters of emotional symptoms—like anxiety, low mood, poor sleep, and fatigue—in people with late-stage non-small cell lung cancer. If you have these symptoms and are not already doing regular exercise programs, the trial may offer a structured way to feel better.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05934032Recruiting
Genomic medicine for non-surgical lung cancer
This trial is part of a lung cancer network that uses genetic (DNA) testing to better understand and treat non-surgical lung cancer. You might be eligible if you have certain stages of non-small cell lung cancer and can consent to participate.
CologneAges 18 years+ - NCT05940532RecruitingPhase 2
Sutimab plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer needing radiation
This trial tests a cancer-fighting antibody (sugemalimab) added to standard chemotherapy for stage III lung cancer that can’t be removed by surgery but may be treated with radiation. It aims to improve control of your cancer while checking safety and side effects.
ChangshaAges 18–75 - NCT05623267RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
SugeMalimab after lung radiation and chemotherapy for limited-stage SCLC
This trial tests sugemalimab as “extra treatment” after standard chemoradiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to lower the chance of the cancer coming back by helping the immune system stay active after initial therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05841472RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer without EGFR or ALK
This Phase 2 trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab, combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin, can work better as first treatment for advanced lung cancer that has no EGFR or ALK gene changes. You may be able to join if you have measurable disease, good enough organ function, and meet other safety rules for immune treatment.
AnamAges 19–80 - NCT04728724RecruitingPhase 2
Check immune treatment before surgery for stage III lung cancer
