Recruiting studies
- NCT04151940Recruiting
PET/CT scan changes during chemo with immune therapy
This study looks at how PET/CT scan results change while you receive chemo plus an immune therapy (a PD-1/PD-L1 medicine) for stage IV lung cancer. The goal is to better understand what the scans mean during treatment, which may help guide care in the future.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04165070RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stage IV lung cancer trial using pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy
This Phase 1/2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immune-based cancer treatment) either alone or with chemotherapy in people newly diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It looks at how well the treatments work and whether they are safe, especially in people who haven’t had treatment yet for metastatic disease.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04165798Recruiting
Pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy for stage IV lung cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab alone, or pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy, can treat stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes by boosting the immune system, with or without added chemotherapy.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04170946RecruitingPhase 1
Talazoparib plus chest radiation after extensive small-cell lung cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests whether the medicine talazopib, given along with chest radiation, can better control extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer after initial chemotherapy. It is for people whose cancer has not worsened after finishing standard chemotherapy.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04199741RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET/CT scan test for small cell lung cancer marker DLL3
This trial tests a special PET/CT imaging scan that may help doctors find where small cell lung cancer (and some related tumors) are in the body using a DLL3 target. It’s a Phase 1/2 study, mainly to see how well the scan detects tumors and guides care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04210492RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Radiation for centrally located lung cancer, tested in 3 treatments
This trial tests a safer, lower-dose radiation approach given in three sessions for centrally located lung tumors. It aims to deliver effective treatment while protecting nearby sensitive structures like the heart, esophagus, and major airways.
Greenwich, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04282044RecruitingPhase 1
CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04291755Recruiting
Stool bank for people receiving cancer immunotherapy
This study is building a “stool bank,” meaning they collect and store stool samples from people who are getting cancer immunotherapy. Researchers plan to analyze these samples to better understand cancer and treatment—your participation may help future research.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04297605RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) given together with a chemotherapy drug to treat non-small cell lung cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. It’s aimed at people who can handle treatment with an ECOG performance status of 2, including some with certain types of brain metastases.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04302025RecruitingPhase 2
Testing targeted and immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery
This trial studies whether giving different cancer medicines before (and sometimes after) surgery improves outcomes for people with early-stage, operable lung cancer that has certain tumor markers. It may help by trying to shrink or control the cancer early and lower the chance it comes back.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04317534RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab after lung cancer surgery versus observation
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) given after complete surgery can lower the chance that early-stage lung cancer comes back. You’ll be compared to standard follow-up without extra treatment to see if the drug helps more people stay cancer-free.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04316364RecruitingPhase 3
New immunotherapy plus chemo for resectable lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether an immunotherapy drug (SHR-1316) added to standard chemotherapy helps people live longer or delay cancer returning after surgery. It focuses on people with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has not been treated before.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04322578RecruitingPhase 2
Crizotinib versus standard chemotherapy for MET exon 14 lung cancer
This study compares crizotinib to standard chemotherapy for people with advanced (spread) non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific change called MET exon 14 skipping. The goal is to see which treatment works better and how safely it controls the cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04324125Recruiting
Chemo plus immune therapy for HER2-positive advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding an immune medicine (an antibody that helps your immune system recognize cancer, such as PD-1) to chemotherapy helps people with advanced HER2-positive non-small cell lung cancer. It may be aimed at people who have never had cancer treatment before.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04324151Recruiting
Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for lung cancer that may be removed
This trial tests whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) to standard chemotherapy helps people with certain non-squamous lung cancers that doctors think might be surgically removed. You might be considered if your planned treatment involves a “double platinum” chemotherapy or crizotinib and your cancer is potentially resectable.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04322617RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Anlotinib plus immunotherapy for lung cancer after first treatment
This trial studies an oral targeted medicine (anlotinib) combined with an immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitor) for lung cancer that did not respond to first-line chemo-immunotherapy. It may help shrink tumors and improve disease control after standard treatment has failed.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04322890RecruitingPhase 2
Study for advanced lung cancer with gene mutations
This Phase 2 trial studies treatment strategies for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have certain cancer gene mutations (like EGFR, ALK, or ROS1). It aims to see how different treatments affect survival and tumor response.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04324164Recruiting
Testing outcomes with EGFR pills for uncommon lung cancer mutations
This study looks at how well an EGFR-targeted pill (called an EGFR-TKI) works for people with advanced lung cancer that has an uncommon EGFR mutation. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and improve survival outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04332367RecruitingPhase 2
New chemo plus ramucirumab for lung cancer after maintenance
This Phase 2 trial studies a combination of chemotherapy (carboplatin and a “taxane”) plus ramucirumab for people with advanced lung cancer that came back or progressed after prior maintenance treatment. It may help by attacking cancer growth after earlier therapy no longer worked.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04335292RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib then chemotherapy for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment sequence starting with osimertinib, then using chemotherapy after it. It is meant for people with EGFR-mutated advanced lung cancer whose disease has come back or progressed, including a “rechallenge” attempt with osimertinib.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04410796RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib alone or with chemo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests whether osimertinib alone is as good as osimertinib plus chemotherapy for lung cancers that have a specific EGFR mutation. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds and slows growth in people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04486833RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Genetic-targeted drug plus gene medicine for EGFR lung cancer
This trial studies a gene-based treatment added to osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer that has started growing again on osimertinib. It may help by attacking the cancer with both its usual target treatment and an added genetic approach.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04499053RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab and tremelimumab with chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer in HIV
This trial tests a combination of immune therapy drugs (durvalumab and tremelimumab) given with chemotherapy in people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who also have HIV. It may help shrink or control cancer by boosting the immune response while keeping HIV well controlled.
