Macon, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05332925Recruiting
Tumor samples grown in dishes to predict immunotherapy response
This study takes small biopsy samples of your lung cancer and grows them in a dish to predict how well immunotherapy will work. If you qualify, you’ll receive standard immunotherapy (anti-PD-1/L1, with or without anti-CTLA-4), and the results from the dish-grown tumors will be compared to your real-world response.
Fairway, KansasAges 18–110 - NCT06399419RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBM588 with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding a probiotic (CBM588) to a standard immunotherapy combination (nivolumab and ipilimumab) helps treat advanced kidney cancer. It is for people with a specific type of kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery, who have not had systemic treatment before.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06110572RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Total body irradiation with immunotherapy for extensive SCLC
This trial adds total body irradiation (a low dose of radiation to the whole body) to standard atezolizumab (immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the radiation helps the immunotherapy work better.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05410717RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK cell therapy for certain solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests a lab-made immune cell treatment for advanced solid tumors that show specific targets (including Claudin 6, GPC3, Mesothelin, or AXL). It may help the immune system better recognize and kill tumor cells, but eligibility depends on test results and your overall health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06514118Recruiting
Immunotherapy with radiation for advanced small-cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation for people with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding radiation to leftover tumors after initial treatment helps control the disease better.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07778316RecruitingPhase 3
