This trial studies whether adding carbon ion radiation to ongoing immunotherapy can help people whose cancer is currently stable. It targets solid cancers where scans show the disease is not growing quickly, aiming to improve control without causing unsafe side effects.
DarmstadtAges 18 years+ - NCT05236114Recruiting
Study of blood and tumor tests for lung cancer treatment
This study looks at how tumor and blood biomarker results can guide treatment for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Depending on the cancer stage, it may follow standard-of-care treatment plans around surgery or first-line immunotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05245500RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for solid tumors with MTAP gene deletion
This Phase 1 trial studies MRTX1719, a new medicine, in solid tumors that have a missing MTAP gene (MTAP deletion). It aims to find the safest dose and check how the drug affects the tumor.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05248230RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for adults with cystic fibrosis lung disease
This Phase 2 trial tests 4D-710 to improve lung health in adults with cystic fibrosis who either cannot take CFTR modulator medicines or are not doing well enough on them. You may be eligible if you have moderate lung function and stable oxygen levels, and you meet other safety and health requirements.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05254184RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine and immunotherapy for KRAS-mutated lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a KRAS-targeted vaccine combined with chemo and immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to help the immune system recognize and fight tumors with specific KRAS mutations, and to see if the treatment is safe and effective enough to study further.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05255302RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Shorter immune maintenance for stage IV lung cancer after initial treatment
This trial tests whether giving immune therapy maintenance for a shorter time helps people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are doing well after initial chemo-immunotherapy. It aims to keep the cancer controlled while possibly reducing treatment exposure and side effects.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18–74 - NCT05266846RecruitingPhase 2
