AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05642572RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug combinations for EGFR- and MET-changed lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests combinations of targeted medicines to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has changes in both EGFR and MET genes. It is for people whose cancer continued to grow even after treatment with osimertinib, the most recent therapy.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05652686RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying PT217 for neuroendocrine cancers
This trial tests a new drug called Peluntamig (PT217) for people with certain types of neuroendocrine cancers, like small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the drug can help when standard treatments stop working or aren't an option.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05657873RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for metastatic lung cancer with liver spread
This trial studies whether adding targeted radiation to the liver (small-area, high-precision radiation) can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Participants also start standard “anti–PD-1/PD-L1” immunotherapy (with chemotherapy in some cases).
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05672108RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo delivered into lung tumors using a catheter
This trial studies a treatment that delivers chemotherapy directly to lung tumors by placing a catheter into lung blood vessels. It may help people with lung cancer or lung metastases that are growing despite standard treatment, or who cannot tolerate it.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05669846RecruitingPhase 2
FMT plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer after prior treatment
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) to pembrolizumab can help people with advanced, PD-L1–positive non-small cell lung cancer that has returned or progressed after anti–PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. You may be asked to give new tumor tissue and undergo gut procedures, because the study aims to change gut bacteria to boost the immune response.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05599412Recruiting
Tracking safety of Lorviqua in ALK-positive lung cancer
This study is collecting real-world safety information about Lorviqua (lorlatinib) in adults in Korea who have ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. It helps monitor side effects and safe use after the medicine is already on the market.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05592626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T cell activator STAR0602 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called STAR0602 that aims to boost your immune system's T cells to fight advanced solid tumors. It's for patients whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments or for whom such treatments are not suitable.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05613413RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance cabozantinib plus pembrolizumab after lung cancer control
This trial tests whether continuing treatment with cabozantinib plus pembrolizumab after your metastatic squamous lung cancer responds (or is stable) can help people live longer and stay in control. It may be an option if your cancer has already shown it can respond to initial (first-line) treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05620342RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for GD2-positive lung cancer
This early-phase study tests a customized immune-cell treatment (CAR T cells) that targets a protein called GD2 on lung cancer cells. It may help people with certain lung cancers that did not respond to platinum chemotherapy and who have also had treatment that blocks PD-1/PD-L1.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05628376Recruiting
Tracking lung cancer evolution through treatment
This study follows people with lung cancer over time to see how the disease changes, especially during and after treatment. By collecting tumor samples and blood tests every few months, researchers hope to understand why some cancers come back or become resistant, and find better ways to treat them.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05589818RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer without key gene targets
This Phase 2 trial studies pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease can’t be treated with curative surgery or combined chemoradiation. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safely it can be given, especially for people who have not had other cancer medicines for metastatic disease.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05559645Recruiting
Targeted oral pill for EGFR-mutated advanced lung cancer
This study tests an oral pill (DZD9008) that targets a specific genetic change in lung cancer called EGFR. If you have this mutation, the drug may shrink your tumor or slow its growth, especially if other treatments have stopped working or caused side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05552846Recruiting
Radiation to the chest after chemo-immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer
This trial looks at whether giving additional targeted radiation to the chest can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after they finish standard chemo-immunotherapy. It may help control the cancer in the lung area and prevent it from coming back there.
