This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, IBI351 and Cetuximab beta, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation and hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07359040Recruiting
Testing a new drug before surgery for lung cancer
This trial studies whether a new drug called Ivonescimab can improve outcomes when given before surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and make them easier to remove.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06654037RecruitingPhase 1
Testing abemaciclib plus 5-FU for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial is testing whether adding a targeted drug called abemaciclib to the standard chemotherapy 5-FU can help people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSS) that has stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05651594RecruitingPhase 2
Propranolol with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy for esophageal cancer

Early re-biopsy to find why tumors survive targeted drugs
This study takes a small tumor sample early after starting targeted treatment (or uses blood if a biopsy isn’t possible) to look for clues—called biomarkers—about why some tumor cells survive.
