Recruiting studies
- NCT05502523Recruiting
Blood test DNA levels after lung surgery
This study looks at how different lung surgical techniques affect levels of tumor DNA in the blood before and after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It may help doctors choose surgical approaches and use a blood test to monitor cancer after surgery.
Abington, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05557552Recruiting
Chemo and immunotherapy plus chest radiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial studies a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation to the chest for people with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It may help by delivering anti-cancer drugs while also shrinking tumors with targeted radiation, especially for people who are not able to have the standard “chemo and radiation at the same time.”
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05623267RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
SugeMalimab after lung radiation and chemotherapy for limited-stage SCLC
This trial tests sugemalimab as “extra treatment” after standard chemoradiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to lower the chance of the cancer coming back by helping the immune system stay active after initial therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05657873RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for metastatic lung cancer with liver spread
This trial studies whether adding targeted radiation to the liver (small-area, high-precision radiation) can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Participants also start standard “anti–PD-1/PD-L1” immunotherapy (with chemotherapy in some cases).
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05696782RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab after chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests giving durvalumab (an immune therapy) soon after standard chemotherapy and radiation for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this “quick start” approach improves outcomes compared with waiting longer to begin durvalumab.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 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+ - NCT05733000RecruitingPhase 2
CPI-613 plus hydroxychloroquine with chemo for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called CPI-613 (devimistat) combined with hydroxychloroquine along with either 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine chemo. It’s for people with advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments, aiming to shrink tumors and slow cancer growth.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05742607RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus IPH5201 before lung surgery for early cancer
This phase 2 study tests durvalumab plus IPH5201 given before surgery to improve outcomes for people with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and make surgery more effective, using information about specific tumor markers like PD-L1.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05758116RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab after radiation to stop lung cancer from growing
This Phase 2 trial studies tislelizumab (an immune therapy) given after you finish radiation or combined chemotherapy-radiation for stage III non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to keep the cancer from coming back or growing by helping your immune system stay active.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05800587RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced-dose chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies a lower (reduced) dose of chemotherapy in people with advanced lung cancer who may not tolerate standard treatment. It aims to see if the treatment still works while being safer for “compromised” patients.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05940532RecruitingPhase 2
Sutimab plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer needing radiation
This trial tests a cancer-fighting antibody (sugemalimab) added to standard chemotherapy for stage III lung cancer that can’t be removed by surgery but may be treated with radiation. It aims to improve control of your cancer while checking safety and side effects.
ChangshaAges 18–75 - NCT05956587RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two study drugs for advanced lung cancer and other tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of two experimental medicines in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see whether the drugs can shrink tumors and improve outcomes, while carefully checking safety and eligibility.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05979818RecruitingPhase 1
Propranolol plus immunotherapy and chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests adding a beta-blocker (propranolol) to a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and standard chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated before. The goal is to see if this new triple treatment helps shrink tumors better than chemo-immunotherapy alone.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06071013RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nintedanib plus EGFR inhibitor for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—nintedanib and an EGFR inhibitor—for people with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has stopped responding to their first EGFR inhibitor treatment. The goal is to see if adding nintedanib can help control the cancer again.
TaichungAges 20–70 - NCT06082492Recruiting
PET/CT scans for follow-up of stage III lung cancer
This trial is testing whether adding a PET/CT scan to routine follow-up care helps patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this extra imaging can detect any return of cancer earlier, which may help with treatment decisions.
Hilversum, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06102057RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided small volume chemoradiation with immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (durvalumab) for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if giving a smaller, more focused radiation dose can be just as effective with fewer side effects.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT06122064Recruiting
Tool to help lung cancer patients decide on adjuvant treatment
This study is testing a tool to help you and your doctor make decisions together about whether to have extra treatment after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (stage 1B or higher). It only includes patients at Mayo Clinic in Rochester who are eligible for that extra treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06123754RecruitingPhase 3
Envafolimab plus chemo for stage III NSCLC before surgery
