Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06809764Recruiting
Study of T-DXd in Chinese patients with HER2m NSCLC
This study looks at how safe and effective the drug T-DXd (trastuzumab deruxtecan) is for Chinese patients with a specific type of lung cancer that has a HER2 mutation. It helps understand if this treatment works well in real-world settings.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06813365RecruitingPhase 1
DZD6008 for advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations
This trial tests an experimental oral drug called DZD6008 for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has certain EGFR mutations. It aims to see if the drug can help those whose cancer has stopped responding to other treatments, or who haven't had treatment yet.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06846762Recruiting
DNA/RNA co-testing for advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to first treatment
This study is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors do not have certain genetic changes (called driver mutations) and whose first treatment did not work well or caused bad side effects within 6 months. The researchers want to use a special test (DNA/RNA-NGS) to look for hidden genetic alterations that might explain why the cancer didn't respond.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06905197RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DZD6008 for advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations
This trial tests an oral drug called DZD6008 for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has certain EGFR mutations. It may be an option for those who have tried other EGFR treatments or are new to treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06926413RecruitingPhase 1
How aumolertinib changes midazolam levels in lung cancer patients
This study tests how a lung cancer pill called aumolertinib affects the levels of another drug (midazolam) in your body. It is for people with advanced NSCLC whose tumors have specific EGFR gene changes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06930794RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Vebreltinib Plus Chemo for MET-Positive Lung Cancer
This trial tests a targeted drug (Vebreltinib) combined with standard chemotherapy in people with a specific type of advanced non-squamous lung cancer that has a MET gene change (amplification or overexpression). The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemo alone.
