Recruiting studies
- NCT04991025RecruitingPhase 2
Adding certolizumab to chemotherapy and nivolumab for lung cancer
This study tests whether adding an extra medication, certolizumab, to the usual chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab can help people with early-stage lung cancer before they have surgery. It aims to see if this combination shrinks the cancer more and improves outcomes.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04919382RecruitingPhase 2
Temozolomide plus atezolizumab for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial studies temozolomide plus atezolizumab in people with metastatic or recurring small cell lung cancer that has already come back or progressed after standard platinum chemotherapy plus immunotherapy. It may help by trying a new combination after prior treatment has stopped working.

Durvalumab plus focused radiation for progressing stage III lung cancer
This trial studies adding focused radiation to some cancer spots in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer did not fully stop after standard chemoradiation and durvalumab. The goal is to control a small number of growing spots (or more than a few) and improve outcomes after durvalumab.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04780568RecruitingPhase 1
First-line osimertinib plus tegavivint for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests osimertinib combined with tegavivint as the first treatment for metastatic (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with certain EGFR gene mutations. It aims to find the safest dose and see how well the combination can control cancer and side effects.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04771520RecruitingPhase 2
Avapritinib for tumors with specific KIT or PDGFRA changes
This Phase 2 trial studies avapritinib, a targeted medicine, for people whose cancer has specific KIT or PDGFRA genetic changes. It may help shrink or slow growth of certain advanced cancers, including some brain tumors, when standard treatments have not worked or for specific glioblastoma cases.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04693377Recruiting
Freezing tumor treatment plus targeted radiation for painful bone spread

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04762199RecruitingPhase 1
MRX-2843 with osimertinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether combining MRX-2843 with osimertinib can help control advanced lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It is designed to find the safest dose and check early signs of tumor response.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04521764RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine for Metastatic Breast Cancer
This trial tests a vaccine (MV-s-NAP) that is injected directly into a tumor to stimulate your immune system against breast cancer. It is for people with metastatic breast cancer that has spread despite prior treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04181060RecruitingPhase 3
Osimertinib alone or with bevacizumab for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting osimertinib with or without bevacizumab helps people with advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. Your EGFR mutation test result and past treatments are key to whether you can join.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04151940Recruiting
PET/CT scan changes during chemo with immune therapy
This study looks at how PET/CT scan results change while you receive chemo plus an immune therapy (a PD-1/PD-L1 medicine) for stage IV lung cancer. The goal is to better understand what the scans mean during treatment, which may help guide care in the future.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04165070RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stage IV lung cancer trial using pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy
This Phase 1/2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immune-based cancer treatment) either alone or with chemotherapy in people newly diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It looks at how well the treatments work and whether they are safe, especially in people who haven’t had treatment yet for metastatic disease.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04150042RecruitingPhase 1
Test of chemotherapy plus your own stem cells for metastatic cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a treatment approach using standard chemotherapy along with stem cells taken from you to treat metastatic pancreatic or breast cancer. It is mainly designed to check safety and find the best way to give the treatment, and it may offer an option for people whose cancer has spread.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04090567RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib with two partners for advanced BRCA breast cancer
This trial tests whether the drug olaparib works better when combined with cediranib or AZD6738 in people with advanced or metastatic BRCA (inherited) breast cancer. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth after prior treatment with a PARP inhibitor.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04119024RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT03948100Recruiting
Yoga coaching for lung or esophageal cancer during radiation
This study tests whether a guided yoga program helps people with lung or esophageal cancer improve strength, daily functioning, and quality of life while they receive radiation therapy. It also involves a family caregiver, to support the patient during treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03968406RecruitingPhase 1
Talazoparib plus radiation for recurrent gynecologic cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether the cancer drug talazoparib, combined with radiation, can better control recurrent gynecologic cancers in the pelvis/abdomen. It focuses on patients whose cancer has come back locally enough that radiation can be given, while other disease is not rapidly worsening.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03819296RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant to treat cancer immunotherapy bowel side effects
This early-phase study tests whether changing your gut bacteria with a fecal transplant can improve diarrhea or colitis caused by cancer immunotherapy. It may help people whose symptoms have not fully settled with standard treatments like steroids and other immune-blocking medicines.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03582124RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Panitumumab dye to help find lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a special dye drug (panitumumab-IRDye800) that may help surgeons better see lung cancer areas while operating. If it works, it could improve how well cancer tissue is found and removed during planned lung surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT03191149RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib for lung cancer with an EGFR exon 20 change
This Phase 2 study tests osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have an EGFR exon 20 insertion. It aims to see how well osimertinib works for this specific EGFR mutation and how safe it is.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT03199651Recruiting
Study for people with stage IV lung cancer
This study focuses on improving outcomes for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer by gathering health, treatment, and lifestyle information. It may help researchers understand what supports survival and care planning, especially for people who are current smokers or recent quitters.
