Study lung cancer samples to understand relapse resistance
This trial looks at information and tissue from people with stage I to stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have surgery, sometimes with chemotherapy before surgery. Researchers want to understand why cancers come back (resistance) and how to better target treatments later.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05987644RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Timing of brain radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer with brain mets
This trial tests whether it is better to delay brain radiation or give it right away in people with ALK-positive lung cancer that has spread to the brain and is causing few or no symptoms. If you are starting alectinib, you may be able to join and help find the best timing for radiation.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07181473RecruitingPhase 1
Safety of TJ101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called TJ101 for people with advanced solid tumors who have tried standard treatments or have no standard options. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05834413Recruiting
Herbs plus chemo and immunotherapy to prevent lung cancer spread
This study looks at whether staged Chinese herbal medicine added to standard treatment can lower the risk of lung cancer coming back or spreading after surgery. It is for people with stage Ib to IIIb non-small cell lung cancer whose tests show no “driver gene” targets.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT07019675RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug for people with lung cancer
This trial tests a new medication, SKB518, for people with non-small cell or small cell lung cancer who have at least one measurable tumor and are in fairly good health. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04105270RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus chemo with RMT for lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a new treatment plan that combines RMT with durvalumab and chemotherapy in people with untreated advanced lung adenocarcinoma. It aims to improve outcomes by helping the immune system and fighting cancer cells together.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07632664Recruiting
New treatment model for older lung cancer surgery patients
This study tests a new approach to help older adults (65+) with early-stage lung cancer who are candidates for surgery. The goal is to improve outcomes by using a special assessment to understand each patient's overall health before and after the operation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT05948865RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial drug for advanced solid tumors
