This trial studies divarasib to see if it is safe and can shrink or control advanced lung cancer. Participants must have a KRAS G12C mutation and have not had prior treatment for their advanced disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05751018RecruitingPhase 2
Pyrotinib for first treatment of HER2-mutated lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies pyrotinib as a first (initial) anti-cancer treatment for advanced lung cancer that has specific HER2 changes. It aims to shrink tumors and control the cancer, especially in people whose test results show HER2 insertion mutation, point mutation, or amplification.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05777603RecruitingPhase 1
Aerosol antibiotics plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether inhaled (aerosol) antibiotics combined with pembrolizumab can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite standard first treatment. It aims to improve cancer control by testing this new combination in Phase 1 safety and early effectiveness.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05752552RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of a MET-targeting pill for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests DO-2 to see how safe it is and how the body absorbs it (pharmacokinetics) in people with advanced or metastatic lung cancer. It is for tumors that have a specific MET exon 14 “skipping” mutation and for whom standard treatments are no longer an option.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05751798RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug OSE-279 for advanced lung cancer that has no key mutations
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well and how safely OSE-279 works in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who cannot be cured with surgery or radiation. It also looks at the right dose and how it may help, especially if the tumor has high PD-L1.
AnderlechtAges 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+ - NCT05713006RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Alectinib drug handling study for ALK-positive advanced lung cancer
This early-phase trial studies how alectinib (an ALK-blocking medicine) moves through the body and how it’s tolerated in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has an ALK rearrangement. You may be considered if you have ALK-positive, recurrent or advanced disease and have already had specific prior treatments.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05703971RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Maintenance treatment with a gene therapy plus atezolizumab
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether a gene therapy called Reqorsa given with atezolizumab can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) stay controlled after their first chemo. It may help by boosting the immune system to keep the cancer from growing again.
Lone Tree, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05706129RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing targeted imaging and therapy for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests two radioactive medicines that first help doctors see tumors and, in some parts of the study, treat them. It may help people with advanced, hard-to-remove cancers that have a specific tumor marker (CA IX).
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT05681780RecruitingPhase 1
CD40L-treated immune cells for advanced lung cancer with certain gene changes
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (TIL) boosted with CD40L, plus nivolumab, for stage IV or returning non-small cell lung cancer with specific gene changes (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, or HER2). It aims to help your immune system attack the cancer after it has grown despite standard treatments.
Tampa, 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05701176Recruiting
Imaging scan to see how anti–PD-1 changes lung cancer cells
This study uses special PET imaging to measure changes in a marker ([18F]F-AraG) in non-small cell lung cancer after starting anti–PD-1 treatment. It aims to learn whether these scan changes reflect how the cancer responds.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04944030Recruiting
Study collects health data for metastatic lung cancer patients
This study collects medical information and test results from people with lung cancer that has spread (or cannot be cured with local treatment). It does not test a new drug; it helps researchers better understand patients’ health and care needs over time.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05642572RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug combinations for EGFR- and MET-changed lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests combinations of targeted medicines to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has changes in both EGFR and MET genes. It is for people whose cancer continued to grow even after treatment with osimertinib, the most recent therapy.
Daphne, 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+ - NCT05669846RecruitingPhase 2
FMT plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer after prior treatment
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) to pembrolizumab can help people with advanced, PD-L1–positive non-small cell lung cancer that has returned or progressed after anti–PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. You may be asked to give new tumor tissue and undergo gut procedures, because the study aims to change gut bacteria to boost the immune response.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05672108RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo delivered into lung tumors using a catheter
