Recruiting studies
- NCT06577883Recruiting
New chest X-ray technique for lung cancer screening
This trial tests a new type of chest X-ray called tomosynthesis to improve lung cancer screening. It looks at people who are getting screened for lung cancer, have a suspicious spot on their lung, or have just been diagnosed—as long as they haven't been treated for lung cancer before.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 30–85 - NCT06593106Recruiting
Freezing early-stage lung tumors before surgery
This trial tests a new step before lung cancer surgery—freezing the tumor first using a technique called cryodevitalization. The goal is to see if this makes the surgery safer or more effective for people with early-stage, small lung nodules that need to be biopsied anyway.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06607770RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cryoablation with immunotherapy for multiple lung cancers
This trial tests freezing tumors (cryoablation) combined with two drugs (Karelizumab and Apatinib) for people who have several small lung cancer spots in their lungs but no spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helps shrink or control the tumors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06617169RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for solid tumors after prior study
This trial tests a new radioactive drug called MNPR-101-PCTA-177Lu for people with solid tumors who already completed a previous study (MNPR-101-D001). It aims to find the safest and most effective dose by carefully monitoring how your body handles the treatment.
North Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06625775RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BBO-10203 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BBO-10203, alone or combined with other cancer treatments, for people with certain advanced breast, colorectal, or lung cancers. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06632886Recruiting
AI study to find cancers from your past CT scans
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at CT scans you've already had (without dye) to try and find signs of several types of cancer early. It may help find cancer sooner when it's easier to treat.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06636721Recruiting
Lung cancer well-being study for older adults
This study aims to improve the well-being of older adults (60+) with lung cancer and their caregivers. Researchers will test programs to support health and quality of life during treatment at Duke University.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 60 years+ - NCT06646471RecruitingPhase 4
Study of cancer drugs for older adults with lung cancer
This trial tests approved cancer drugs in people aged 70 and older with non-small-cell lung cancer who haven't had systemic treatment before. The goal is to see how well these drugs work in this older population.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 70 years+ - NCT06653478Recruiting
Smarter cancer risk assessment using all your medical info
This study is testing a new way to use medical images, records, and other information to better assess cancer risk and guide treatment. It may be a good fit if you have a suspicious spot in your lungs, stomach, or colon, or if you are healthy and want to help with early cancer detection research.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06659042RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab before and after surgery for KRAS-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab before and after surgery can help people with a specific type of lung cancer (non-squamous NSCLC with a KRAS mutation) that is stage 2 or 3. It aims to improve treatment outcomes by targeting the cancer early.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06667154RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose nivolumab plus chemo for early lung cancer
This trial tests a lower dose of the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) combined with standard chemotherapy before surgery for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to see if this combination shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes with fewer side effects.
São José do Rio Preto, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06673329RecruitingPhase 1
Brodalumab for immune-related side effects from cancer treatment
This trial tests if brodalumab, an antibody that blocks a specific immune pathway (IL-17), can help control side effects caused by immunotherapy cancer treatment. It is for people with advanced solid organ cancers who have immune-related side effects that are suspected to involve IL-17.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06682793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of A2B395 therapy for solid tumors with EGFR and HLA loss
This trial tests a new cell therapy called A2B395 for cancers that have EGFR, a protein on the cell surface, and have lost a specific marker called HLA-A*02. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and kill these cancer cells. This may help patients with colorectal, lung, head and neck, breast, kidney, or other solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard treatments.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06688422Recruiting
Using a breathing device during lung cancer treatment
This trial tests if using a simple breathing exercise device (called an incentive spirometer) during chemo and radiation for advanced lung cancer can help improve breathing outcomes and overall recovery.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06691776Recruiting
Adaptive radiotherapy for five cancer types
This trial tests whether a newer type of daily CT scan (CBCT-guided adaptive radiotherapy) can safely and accurately deliver radiation to cancers of the prostate, cervix, bladder, lung, or head and neck. The goal is to better target the tumor and reduce side effects.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06705465Recruiting
Rehabilitation for lung cancer patients
This trial tests a cross-sector rehabilitation program for people with non-small cell lung cancer (the most common type of lung cancer) who are starting their first cancer treatment. The goal is to see if this program helps you recover and feel better during and after treatment.
Herlev, DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06699979Recruiting
Early lung cancer study with multiple tumors or cysts
This study looks at the genes and molecules of early-stage lung cancer in two groups: people with more than one lung tumor at the same time, and people whose lung cancer is tied to air-filled spaces (cysts) seen on a CT scan. The goal is to better understand these types of lung cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06881784RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a RAS-targeting pill for lung cancer
