Study drug for advanced lung cancer with a specific genetic change
This Phase 2 trial tests ZEN003694 in people with squamous (a type of) lung cancer that has returned or spread. It’s designed for tumors that have a certain gene change, and it may offer a new treatment option after prior chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05613452RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon ion radiation for peripheral lung cancer you can’t operate on
This trial tests whether carbon ion radiation (high-energy targeted radiation) can control peripheral non-small cell lung cancer in people who are medically unable to have surgery. It may help shrink or stop tumor growth while limiting harm to nearby organs.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05620329Recruiting
Pleural fluid registry for drainage in adults
This registry collects information from adults who have fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) and need clinically indicated drainage because of infection or cancer. It helps researchers better understand these conditions and improve future care.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05623956Recruiting
Proteomics study in newly diagnosed small cell lung cancer
This study uses a lab test called “proteomics” to learn more about newly diagnosed small cell lung cancer (SCLC). It may help researchers understand the disease better and improve future treatment decisions, while participants also receive standard chemotherapy.
Aalborg, Region North JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05636605Recruiting
Study lung cancer biology and why immunotherapy stops working
This study looks at lung cancer tissue and immune system changes to understand how and why immunotherapy resistance develops. It may help researchers find better ways to make immunotherapy work longer for future patients.
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05636969Recruiting
Pre-surgery exercise program for lung cancer treatment
This trial looks at whether a “prehabilitation” (guided exercise and fitness preparation) program helps people with non-small cell lung cancer get ready for surgery after starting treatment before surgery. It may help you tolerate treatment and surgery better if you can do the required fitness testing and procedures.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05654454RecruitingPhase 3
Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy vs Avastin for advanced lung cancer
This trial compares a combination of anti-angiogenics (bevacizumab) plus chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) against Avastin-based treatment in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to find out whether the study treatment is safer and works better for shrinking tumors and improving outcomes.
ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT05663242RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing anesthetics for outcomes after lung tumor surgery
This study looks at whether using different anesthesia drugs during planned lung tumor surgery affects recovery and longer-term outcomes. It also aims to understand why the anesthesia choice might make a difference.
