This trial studies penpulimab (an immune medicine) combined with cetuximab (an antibody drug) for recurrent or metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or radiation. It aims to shrink tumors and improve survival in people whose tumor shows a specific immune marker (PD-L1).
Changchun, JilinAges 18–80 - NCT05271916RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New targeted drugs for advanced lung cancer with EGFR L858R
This study tests whether taking dacomitinib plus anlotinib as a first treatment can shrink or control advanced lung cancer that has the EGFR L858R mutation. It may help people who have not had any standard drug treatment yet, especially if their brain metastases are stable.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05277844RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus targeted pill vs pill alone for EGFR/ALK-NSCLC
This study tests whether adding focused radiation to a targeted cancer pill works better than the pill by itself. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumor has an EGFR or ALK/ROS driver mutation and who have not gotten worse after starting the targeted pill.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–99 - NCT05295212RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo before surgery for lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding atezolizumab (an immune medicine) to standard platinum-based chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for operable stage II–IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and increase the chance the cancer can be removed with better results.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05332925Recruiting
Tumor samples grown in dishes to predict immunotherapy response
This study takes small biopsy samples of your lung cancer and grows them in a dish to predict how well immunotherapy will work. If you qualify, you’ll receive standard immunotherapy (anti-PD-1/L1, with or without anti-CTLA-4), and the results from the dish-grown tumors will be compared to your real-world response.
