Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04282044RecruitingPhase 1
CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04286841Recruiting
Immunotherapy before lung surgery for early lung cancer
This trial looks at giving immunotherapy before surgery for certain early-stage lung cancers to help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes. It is mainly for people whose lung cancer can be removed by surgery and who don’t have specific gene changes like EGFR or ALK.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04291755Recruiting
Stool bank for people receiving cancer immunotherapy
This study is building a “stool bank,” meaning they collect and store stool samples from people who are getting cancer immunotherapy. Researchers plan to analyze these samples to better understand cancer and treatment—your participation may help future research.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04305717Recruiting
Check fluid levels with a special sensor in hospitalized heart failure
This study uses a noninvasive device (ReDS) to estimate fluid buildup in people hospitalized with acute heart failure. It may help doctors monitor fluid status and guide care more accurately during a hospital stay.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04304820RecruitingPhase 2
Testing early oral cyclosporine and eltrombopag for severe anemia
This Phase 2 study tests whether starting two oral medicines early—cyclosporine and eltrombopag—can improve severe aplastic anemia in people who have not had prior treatment for it. It may help your blood counts recover without needing stronger or earlier treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT04304898Recruiting
Patient registry for newly diagnosed lung scarring using an app
This study sets up an international registry to follow people with newly diagnosed fibrotic interstitial lung disease (lung scarring). It uses eHealth technology (an online/app-based system) so your team can better understand your condition over time and improve future care.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT04307667Recruiting
Study brain immune activity in people with mild asthma
This trial studies how immune cells in the brain (called microglia) may be activated in asthma. You may be able to help researchers test whether a specific “immune pathway” differs in certain asthma patients using brain scans and breathing/allergy testing.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–75 - NCT04307615Recruiting
Oxygen versus CPAP during emergency lung fluid episodes
This trial tests whether regular oxygen or CPAP (a breathing-support machine) works better for people who have swimming-induced pulmonary edema, a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs after swimming. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective breathing treatment in an emergency.
FalunAges 18 years+ - NCT04317534RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab after lung cancer surgery versus observation
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) given after complete surgery can lower the chance that early-stage lung cancer comes back. You’ll be compared to standard follow-up without extra treatment to see if the drug helps more people stay cancer-free.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04316364RecruitingPhase 3
New immunotherapy plus chemo for resectable lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether an immunotherapy drug (SHR-1316) added to standard chemotherapy helps people live longer or delay cancer returning after surgery. It focuses on people with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has not been treated before.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04322578RecruitingPhase 2
Crizotinib versus standard chemotherapy for MET exon 14 lung cancer
This study compares crizotinib to standard chemotherapy for people with advanced (spread) non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific change called MET exon 14 skipping. The goal is to see which treatment works better and how safely it controls the cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04324125Recruiting
Chemo plus immune therapy for HER2-positive advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding an immune medicine (an antibody that helps your immune system recognize cancer, such as PD-1) to chemotherapy helps people with advanced HER2-positive non-small cell lung cancer. It may be aimed at people who have never had cancer treatment before.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04324151Recruiting
Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for lung cancer that may be removed
This trial tests whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) to standard chemotherapy helps people with certain non-squamous lung cancers that doctors think might be surgically removed. You might be considered if your planned treatment involves a “double platinum” chemotherapy or crizotinib and your cancer is potentially resectable.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04324164Recruiting
Testing outcomes with EGFR pills for uncommon lung cancer mutations
This study looks at how well an EGFR-targeted pill (called an EGFR-TKI) works for people with advanced lung cancer that has an uncommon EGFR mutation. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and improve survival outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04332367RecruitingPhase 2
New chemo plus ramucirumab for lung cancer after maintenance
This Phase 2 trial studies a combination of chemotherapy (carboplatin and a “taxane”) plus ramucirumab for people with advanced lung cancer that came back or progressed after prior maintenance treatment. It may help by attacking cancer growth after earlier therapy no longer worked.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04354064Recruiting
Blood DNA test to see early treatment response in solid tumors
This study looks at circulating tumor DNA, which is tiny bits of DNA found in blood, to help assess how solid tumors are responding early. It uses blood samples from healthy adults who are willing to donate.
