New combo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug (BMS-986340) plus standard chemo for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread or come back. The goal is to see if this combination works better.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02133196RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell treatment for lung cancer that has spread
This Phase 2 study tests a T-cell–based immunotherapy for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite prior treatment. It may help your immune system recognize and fight your cancer using cells made from your tumor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT06607796RecruitingPhase 3
PTS injection for stage 4 lung cancer without gene mutations
This trial tests injecting a drug called PTS directly into lung tumors for people with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer that doesn't have certain gene changes. It is for patients whose tumors have stayed stable after first-line treatment and are located in a small area of the outer lung.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05841472RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer without EGFR or ALK
