Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT05703971RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Maintenance treatment with a gene therapy plus atezolizumab
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether a gene therapy called Reqorsa given with atezolizumab can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) stay controlled after their first chemo. It may help by boosting the immune system to keep the cancer from growing again.
Lone Tree, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05703516Recruiting
Study of Tabrecta for NSCLC with exon 14 skipping
This study follows people in South Korea who have a specific lung cancer genetic change called “exon 14 skipping” and are going to take Tabrecta (capmatinib). It helps collect real-world safety and results for using this medicine under routine care.
Daegu, Dalseo guAges 18–100 - NCT05706129RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing targeted imaging and therapy for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests two radioactive medicines that first help doctors see tumors and, in some parts of the study, treat them. It may help people with advanced, hard-to-remove cancers that have a specific tumor marker (CA IX).
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT05692635RecruitingPhase 2
Brain MRI checks to prevent lung cancer brain symptoms
This trial tests whether doing scheduled brain MRI scans can lower the chance that lung cancer later causes symptomatic brain metastases (tumors that cause symptoms in the brain). If you’re eligible, you’ll get brain MRI surveillance at a specific time after starting radiation.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05652686RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying PT217 for neuroendocrine cancers
This trial tests a new drug called Peluntamig (PT217) for people with certain types of neuroendocrine cancers, like small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the drug can help when standard treatments stop working or aren't an option.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05654922RecruitingPhase 3
Prevent lung transplant airways scarring with ARINA-1
This Phase 3 trial tests ARINA-1 to slow or prevent worsening lung transplant scarring in the breathing tubes (bronchiolitis obliterans). It may help people who are showing early decline in lung function but are not yet at advanced disease.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT05645510Recruiting
Study for people on long-term cancer targeted medicines
This study looks at people who are already taking long-term targeted cancer medicines. It may help researchers understand how these treatments work over time and whether there are ways to improve care.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–90 - NCT05669846RecruitingPhase 2
FMT plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer after prior treatment
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) to pembrolizumab can help people with advanced, PD-L1–positive non-small cell lung cancer that has returned or progressed after anti–PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. You may be asked to give new tumor tissue and undergo gut procedures, because the study aims to change gut bacteria to boost the immune response.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05600933Enrolling by invitation
Providing tumor samples to find new treatment targets
This study collects tumor tissue and related blood tests from people who already need a biopsy or surgery as part of their usual care. Researchers use the samples to learn what drives the tumor and how the tumor environment may affect treatment, which could help develop future therapies.
