Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04676828Recruiting
SPECT-guided radiation to avoid healthy lung in lung cancer
This study tests a special imaging-guided radiation plan that aims to treat lung cancer while reducing radiation to healthy lung tissue. It may help lower lung side effects while keeping the cancer treatment focused on tumor areas.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04582279Recruiting
Lung ultrasound test to rule out rejection after lung transplant
This study checks whether a painless lung ultrasound can help tell when rejection is unlikely after a lung transplant. If it works, it could reduce the need for other tests in people who feel well.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04151940Recruiting
PET/CT scan changes during chemo with immune therapy
This study looks at how PET/CT scan results change while you receive chemo plus an immune therapy (a PD-1/PD-L1 medicine) for stage IV lung cancer. The goal is to better understand what the scans mean during treatment, which may help guide care in the future.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT02146170Recruiting
Blood and tissue collection study for several lung and chest cancers
This study collects tissue (and follows patients over time) to better understand the natural course of several types of chest cancers. It may help researchers learn which tests and treatments work best in different cancer types.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00242723Recruiting
Looking at cell changes in lung, esophagus, and chest cancers
This study collects blood, urine, and tissue samples from people with lung, esophageal, or other chest cancers to look at cell changes. It does not test a new treatment—instead, it aims to better understand these cancers through research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT02917369Recruiting
Study of integrative care for large-cell lung cancer
This trial is looking at an approach to treat large-cell lung cancer. It may help people who have not yet had cancer chemotherapy and who are well enough to do day-to-day activities.
Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT04944563Recruiting
Segmentectomy vs lobectomy for small middle-lung lung cancer
This trial compares two types of lung surgery for certain small lung cancers in the middle part of the lung: removing a segment (segmentectomy) versus removing a whole lobe (lobectomy). It aims to see which surgery works better while balancing cancer control and lung function.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05375591Recruiting
AI study to sort lung nodules after past cancer treatment
This study uses computer tools (AI) and detailed scan patterns to better classify new lung nodules in people who previously had curative-intent cancer treatment. It may help doctors decide whether a nodule is likely benign or cancer, using your CT scan and related medical history.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05503667RecruitingPhase 2
Testing EGFR drugs before lung surgery in certain stage III cancers
This trial tests whether taking furmonertinib alone, or furmonertinib plus bevacizumab, before surgery can improve outcomes for people with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma that has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04451473Recruiting
Compare recovery programs after lung surgery
This trial compares two ways of helping patients recover after lung surgery: a “enhanced recovery” plan versus standard care. It may help your team find a recovery approach that improves comfort and recovery after surgery for certain lung problems.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT05586906Recruiting
Breath test to detect lung transplant problems early
This trial looks at a simple, noninvasive breath test to spot early lung transplant dysfunction after a lung transplant. Because it focuses on testing after the transplant, it may help your care team catch issues earlier.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06026735Recruiting
Lung cancer with brain spread: a surgical study
This trial looks at people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain or the membranes around the brain. It aims to learn more about patients who are already scheduled for brain surgery, such as removing a tumor or placing a drain.
TaipeiAges 20–90 - NCT03742687Recruiting
Testing a shorter, stronger radiation schedule for lung cancer
This trial studies a different way to deliver radiation to people with locally advanced, non-operable non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by aiming to treat the tumor effectively with a different radiation timing and dose pattern.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05526950Recruiting
Check cytokine filtration for people getting double lung transplants
This study tests a method during double lung transplant surgery to remove certain immune signals (“cytokines”) that may help the transplanted lungs heal. It’s only for adults who are having a planned double lung transplant at the study sites.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18–80 - NCT05732974Recruiting
Using a computer tool to find lung cancer relapse risk
This study uses a machine-learning computer method to identify people with early-stage lung cancer who have a higher risk of the cancer coming back after surgery. If you qualify, your information may help researchers improve how doctors predict relapse and plan follow-up care.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT04790253Recruiting
Check brain radiation timing or frequent MRI scans for SCLC
This study compares two ways to follow and treat small-cell lung cancer in the brain: preventive brain radiation versus close monitoring with MRI scans and treatment only if needed. It may help people avoid unnecessary brain treatment or choose the safer timing strategy.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT05258448Recruiting
Chemo-radiotherapy for advanced, non-surgical lung cancer
This trial studies treatment that combines chemotherapy and radiation for people with advanced lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It may help improve cure chances for patients who can complete the study tests, including heart scans.
Odense CAges 18 years+ - NCT04733430Recruiting
Study lung cancer care in real life
This study follows adults with confirmed lung cancer as they are diagnosed and treated in routine clinical practice. It aims to better understand how lung cancer is diagnosed and managed day-to-day, which may help improve future care.
ViennaAges 18–125 - NCT04537182Recruiting
Surgery versus bronchoscopy for severe emphysema
This study compares two ways to reduce lung “overinflation” in people with severe emphysema: surgery (LVRS) or a bronchoscopy procedure (BLVR). It aims to see which approach works best and is safest for eligible patients.
ViennaAges 30–80 - NCT07843940RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Two study drugs for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests two new immunotherapy drugs (obrixtamig and pumitamig) given together for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and helps shrink or control the cancer.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03979170Recruiting
Test lung cancer drug response using patient tumor mini-organs
This trial grows “organoids” (mini tumor models) from your lung cancer tissue to see which drug responses are most likely. It may help match future treatments to how your tumor behaves in the lab.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07837128Recruiting
Gentle breathing support in intensive care
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
