RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06079970Recruiting
Testing a microscope during lung biopsy
This trial tests if a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during a bronchoscopy can help doctors see and diagnose suspicious lung spots more clearly. It may help you if you have a small-to-medium sized spot in your lung that needs a biopsy.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06031688RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for lung cancer with a MET gene change
This trial tests a targeted drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called MET exon 14 skipping. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth, and may help people who have or haven't had prior treatment.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 minutes+ - NCT05903092RecruitingPhase 2
Monalizumab plus durvalumab for small cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding monalizumab to durvalumab (two immune-targeting medicines) can improve outcomes in people with small cell lung cancer. You may be able to join if you have certain stage of small cell lung cancer and have not had the specific prior treatments the study allows.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05800587RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced-dose chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies a lower (reduced) dose of chemotherapy in people with advanced lung cancer who may not tolerate standard treatment. It aims to see if the treatment still works while being safer for “compromised” patients.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05696782RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab after chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests giving durvalumab (an immune therapy) soon after standard chemotherapy and radiation for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this “quick start” approach improves outcomes compared with waiting longer to begin durvalumab.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05642572RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug combinations for EGFR- and MET-changed lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests combinations of targeted medicines to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has changes in both EGFR and MET genes. It is for people whose cancer continued to grow even after treatment with osimertinib, the most recent therapy.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05620342RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for GD2-positive lung cancer
This early-phase study tests a customized immune-cell treatment (CAR T cells) that targets a protein called GD2 on lung cancer cells. It may help people with certain lung cancers that did not respond to platinum chemotherapy and who have also had treatment that blocks PD-1/PD-L1.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05557474Recruiting
Test of a lung cancer prognosis kit after early tumor removal
This study tests a lab “prognosis kit” to better predict how early-stage lung cancer may progress after the tumor has been fully removed. You may be asked to provide tumor samples and possibly blood/body fluid samples so researchers can validate the kit.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT05572944Recruiting
Using family risk to predict lung cancer in never-smokers
This study builds and tests risk prediction tools for lung cancer in people who have never smoked, using information from family history. If it works, it may help doctors identify who might need closer screening earlier.
