This trial tests whether Tumor Treating Fields (a non-surgical device that delivers treatment signals to cancer cells through the scalp/skin) can help people whose breast or lung cancer has spread into the fluid around the spine and brain. It focuses on people who have cancer cells found in spinal fluid and can safely use the device most of the day.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05681780RecruitingPhase 1
CD40L-treated immune cells for advanced lung cancer with certain gene changes
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (TIL) boosted with CD40L, plus nivolumab, for stage IV or returning non-small cell lung cancer with specific gene changes (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, or HER2). It aims to help your immune system attack the cancer after it has grown despite standard treatments.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05696782RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab after chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests giving durvalumab (an immune therapy) soon after standard chemotherapy and radiation for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this “quick start” approach improves outcomes compared with waiting longer to begin durvalumab.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05701176Recruiting
Imaging scan to see how anti–PD-1 changes lung cancer cells
This study uses special PET imaging to measure changes in a marker ([18F]F-AraG) in non-small cell lung cancer after starting anti–PD-1 treatment. It aims to learn whether these scan changes reflect how the cancer responds.
AmsterdamAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05570825RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug SX-682 with pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests SX-682 plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to treat metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It aims to see how well the combination works and whether it can shrink or control the cancer in people whose tumors have enough PD-L1.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05588388RecruitingPhase 2
Testing bevacizumab with chemo and immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding bevacizumab to chemo plus immunotherapy (including atezolizumab) can improve outcomes in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) that has spread to the liver. It may help by blocking tumor blood vessel growth while boosting anti-cancer immune and treatment effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05557474Recruiting
Test of a lung cancer prognosis kit after early tumor removal
This study tests a lab “prognosis kit” to better predict how early-stage lung cancer may progress after the tumor has been fully removed. You may be asked to provide tumor samples and possibly blood/body fluid samples so researchers can validate the kit.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT04696575RecruitingPhase 2
Lamivudine added to chemoimmunotherapy for extensive-stage lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding lamivudine to standard chemoimmunotherapy can improve outcomes for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this combination controls the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05502523Recruiting
Blood test DNA levels after lung surgery
This study looks at how different lung surgical techniques affect levels of tumor DNA in the blood before and after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It may help doctors choose surgical approaches and use a blood test to monitor cancer after surgery.
Abington, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05493566RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Low-dose IL-2 plus pembrolizumab for stage IV lung cancer
This early-phase study tests whether low-dose IL-2 combined with pembrolizumab can help treat stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has not had prior advanced treatment. It may be an option if your tumor has certain immune-marker findings (PD-L1) and you meet safety requirements.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05450965RecruitingPhase 2
Onvansertib for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This trial studies onvansertib, a targeted medicine, in people whose small cell lung cancer has come back or did not respond to prior platinum chemotherapy. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes after standard treatment has already been tried.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05452005RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan with a new tracer for lung cancer brain metastases
