ChangshaAges 18–75 - NCT03786003Recruiting
Compare two lung surgery approaches for stage I lung cancer
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS) works as well as the more open approach (thoracotomy) for certain early-stage lung cancers. It may help patients and surgeons choose the best operation method for tumors that can be fully removed.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06369181Recruiting
Study on cell changes in lung cancer with RB1/TP53 gene changes
This trial looks at what happens when certain types of non-small cell lung cancer—those with changes in the RB1 and TP53 genes—start to change into another type of lung cancer after treatment. It may help find better ways to treat this specific kind of cancer in the future.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05525338RecruitingPhase 4
Test standard vs adjusted alectinib dose using blood levels
This trial compares the usual dose of alectinib with a modified dose chosen by checking alectinib blood levels. It aims to see whether adjusting the dose based on blood testing can work as well (and possibly be better tolerated) for people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
Villejuif, Val-de-MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT06632262RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drugs for cancers with FGFR gene changes
This trial tests two new drugs, ABSK061 and ABSK043, in people whose cancers have specific changes in the FGFR2 or FGFR3 genes. It may be an option if your cancer has stopped responding to standard treatments or if no standard treatment is available.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18 years+ - NCT07586202RecruitingPhase 2
