Study of AKY-1189 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, AKY-1189, for people with solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed. It may help if other treatments have stopped working.
Glen Burnie, MarylandAges 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.
Annapolis, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06561386RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer
This trial is comparing a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) plus chemotherapy against the standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has a certain protein (PD-L1) on at least 1% of its cells. The goal is to see if the new combination works better.
Annapolis, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.

What taking part in a small cell lung cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
