New drug combo for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new two-drug combination (Dato-DXd and an immunotherapy called rilvegostomig) as the first treatment for people with advanced non-squamous lung cancer who have high PD-L1 levels. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current standard options.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06385262RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo before surgery for early-stage lung cancer
This study tests whether giving chemotherapy before surgery helps people with non-small cell lung cancer that has not spread far. The goal is to see if it can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05366478RecruitingPhase 1
LM103 for advanced solid tumors using donated immune cells
This Phase 1 study tests LM103 to treat advanced cancers that are not responding to standard treatment. It also looks at whether enough tumor tissue can be collected for immune cell testing, and focuses on safety at first.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT04270591RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Glumetinib for lung cancer with MET changes
This trial tests how well glumetinib works for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific “MET” gene changes. It also checks safety and side effects, especially in people who can’t have surgery or have already had other treatments.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT05339568Recruiting
Smartphone support program for people with advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a “whole process follow-up” care plan, using a smartphone, to support people with non-small cell lung cancer from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. It may help you manage care steps more smoothly if you’re not a candidate for curative (radical) treatment or don’t want surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT05724004Recruiting
Alectinib then targeted radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer
