The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and works better than standard options.
HerlevAges 18–75 - NCT06419179Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Maintenance therapy for HRD-positive small-cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications, durvalumab and olaparib, can help keep your extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer from coming back after standard first-line treatment. It is for people whose tumors have a specific genetic feature called HRD.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–120 - NCT06370416Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Preventing bone marrow suppression from chemo in advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if trilaciclib can protect your bone marrow during chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to reduce side effects like low blood counts, which can cause fatigue, infections, or bleeding.
