RET-targeting drug study for advanced cancers with RET changes
This trial tests an “RET-inhibitor” medicine (TAS0953/HM06) for advanced solid tumors that have RET gene changes. It may help shrink tumors by blocking cancer growth signals from the RET gene.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04402788RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Radiation added to immune therapy for extensive small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to standard immune therapy (atezolizumab) after initial chemo can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. You must have a good response (partial response) or stable disease after initial treatment, plus several lab/imaging checks to confirm safety.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03851445RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Lung cancer screening trial using tumor and blood test results
This trial helps sort people with previously treated lung cancer into the best next treatment options by using new tumor tissue (and sometimes blood) test results. It may help you get matched to therapies based on features like PD-L1 and other biomarkers.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03546829RecruitingPhase 1
Testing targeted radiation plus short anti-microbial treatment
This early safety study tests a combination of focused radiation and a targeted anti-microbial (antibiotic/antifungal/antiviral/anti-parasite) plan for certain lung cancer that is starting to progress in a few spots. It aims to see whether this approach is safe and helps control the small areas of progressing cancer after prior treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06452277RecruitingPhase 3
Testing sevabertinib for advanced HER2-mutated lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted drug called sevabertinib against standard chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific HER2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if sevabertinib works better and is safe.
