AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06041776RecruitingPhase 3
Befotertinib after surgery for early-stage lung cancer with EGFR mutation
This trial tests if a targeted therapy pill (befotertinib) can lower the chance of cancer coming back after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation. You may be eligible if your tumor was completely removed and you have stage IB to IIIB disease.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05724004Recruiting
Alectinib then targeted radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests giving alectinib first, then adding targeted radiation to remaining spots of cancer in people with ALK-rearranged advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to control the cancer after an initial response and help keep disease from progressing.
StockholmAges 20 years+ - NCT05344209RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus or minus vaccine for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies pembrolizumab (an immune-boosting cancer medicine) alone or with an added investigational UV1 vaccine in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see whether adding the vaccine improves safety and effectiveness, especially in tumors with high PD-L1 levels.
Drammen, AkershusAges 18 years+ - NCT05011487RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery osimertinib plus chemotherapy for EGFR lung cancer
This study tests whether giving osimertinib together with chemotherapy before surgery can shrink and control EGFR-mutant, stage III lung cancer so it can be fully removed. If it works, it may improve the chances that the cancer does not come back after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07863999RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy before surgery for stage II-III lung cancer
This trial compares two different drug combinations given before surgery for stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Both combinations include chemotherapy, and one also includes a newer type of immunotherapy. The goal is to see which approach shrinks tumors more effectively before surgery.
