Couple meditation program for metastatic lung cancer and partners
This study tests whether a couple-based meditation program can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their romantic partners cope better during treatment. It looks at the experience of both the patient and their partner, not just the patient alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07306624RecruitingPhase 2
Nelmastobart plus docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, nelmastobart, combined with the chemotherapy docetaxel, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a high level of a protein called BTN1A1. It is for patients who have already tried other treatments and are looking for a new option.
Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT05284539RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for mutated advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether combining platinum chemotherapy with immune “checkpoint” medicine works better for people with stage IV lung cancer that has EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 mutations. It focuses on tumors that have grown again after first-line treatment.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05979818RecruitingPhase 1
Propranolol plus immunotherapy and chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests adding a beta-blocker (propranolol) to a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and standard chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated before. The goal is to see if this new triple treatment helps shrink tumors better than chemo-immunotherapy alone.
