Adagrasib for KRAS G12C lung cancer, alone or with pembrolizumab
This trial studies adagrasib (an anti-cancer drug) either alone or with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) in people with advanced lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes, including for people without urgent brain treatment needs.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04614103RecruitingPhase 2
Immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer after chemotherapy
This trial studies LN-145, a treatment made from your own immune cells, for metastatic (stage IV) non-small-cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors after your cancer has progressed despite standard first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–70 - NCT03500731RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung and bone marrow transplant for lung and blood failure
This Phase 1/2 study tests a special lung-and-bone-marrow transplant approach for people with severe lung disease and bone marrow failure (low blood counts). The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and whether it can improve outcomes when standard long-term immune-suppressing medicines are a poor fit.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT04595422Recruiting
Train quitline staff to reach smokers about lung screening
This trial tests an educational approach delivered through tobacco quitlines to encourage eligible smokers to learn about lung cancer screening. It may help people who have a heavy smoking history get the right information and next steps.
