Hines, IllinoisAges 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.

Skokie, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05885698Recruiting
Study of care patterns in newly diagnosed lung cancer
This observational study follows adults with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer to understand what treatments are used and how patients are doing. It may help doctors better understand how care decisions affect outcomes, and it does not require the study to give an experimental treatment.
Niles, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06758401RecruitingPhase 3
Study of combination treatment for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
