Study of heart effects of radiation therapy using PET-CT for stage III lung cancer
This study looks at whether PET-CT scans can help detect heart damage caused by radiation therapy in patients with stage III lung cancer. If you're getting chemotherapy and radiation together, you may participate to help doctors find ways to reduce heart risks.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07755020Recruiting
Blood test using new chip to find and monitor lung cancer
This study tests a new chip that may detect lung cancer from a blood sample. It will compare blood from people with lung cancer and people without, possibly helping to find or monitor the disease in the future.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT07744698RecruitingPhase 4
Maintenance therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a pill form of chemotherapy (oral paclitaxel) combined with an immunotherapy drug to keep advanced lung cancer from growing after initial treatment. It may help patients whose cancer was controlled with first-line therapy.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT07738172RecruitingPhase 3
Osimertinib with or without lung tumor surgery for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether adding surgery to remove the main lung tumor improves outcomes for people with stage 4 lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation and only limited spread. If you qualify, you will take the targeted drug osimertinib for 12 weeks, and if the tumor responds, you may be randomly assigned to either continue the drug alone or have the main tumor surgically removed and then continue the drug.
