Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06327594Recruiting
Muscle loss check in lung cancer surgery patients
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with lung cancer who are about to have surgery. It uses a CT or MRI scan to check your muscle health, which may help doctors better plan your care.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 40–100 - NCT06329908RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Dendritic cell vaccine plus immunotherapy for resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment combining a dendritic cell vaccine (a type of immune therapy that trains your body to fight cancer) with additional immunotherapy drugs. It is for people with advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard immunotherapy.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–85 - NCT06360627Recruiting
Low-dose CT with contrast for lung checks
This study tests a special low-radiation CT scan with a contrast dye called Iomeron 400 to see if it works well for checking lung nodules or pneumonia.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06367946Recruiting
Why ventilators can hurt older lungs
This study looks at how mechanical ventilation affects the lungs of elderly people. Researchers will study lung tissue and blood samples from patients having surgery to find ways to prevent lung injury.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06363734RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug combo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer after resistance
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (osimertinib and dalpiciclib) for people with advanced lung cancer whose tumors have a specific EGFR mutation and a change in the CDK4/6 pathway, and whose cancer has stopped responding to a third-generation EGFR targeted therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
