Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04933903RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant low-dose radiation plus immunotherapy before lung surgery
This trial tests whether giving low-dose focused radiation and two immunotherapy drugs before lung surgery can improve outcomes for people with operable, resectable non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer before surgery and help reduce the chance it comes back.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT07463742Recruiting
Genetic changes in tracheal narrowing with two treatments
This trial studies genetic changes in people with tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the windpipe). It compares two treatments: wedge resection (cutting out the narrow part) and radial incision (cutting to open it up). This may help doctors choose the best treatment in the future.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT05844462RecruitingPhase 3
Tadalafil for severe lung blood-pressure problems from COPD
This study tests whether tadalafil can improve outcomes for people with severe pulmonary hypertension caused by COPD (chronic lung disease). It compares how you do with tadalafil versus standard care, focusing on breathing symptoms and how well your heart and lungs cope.
Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, FranceAges 18–85 - NCT07329322RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo before surgery for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and osimertinib) before surgery for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutated). The goal is to see if the drugs can shrink the tumor enough to improve surgery results.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07354074RecruitingPhase 2
Study of asciminib for children with Ph+ CML
This trial tests an oral medication called asciminib in children and teens with a type of leukemia called Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for patients who are newly diagnosed or whose current treatment has stopped working or caused side effects.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 1–18 - NCT07227077Recruiting
Physical activity study for older cancer survivors with chronic pain
This study uses a smartphone program to encourage physical activity in older adults who have survived cancer and have ongoing pain. It aims to learn how to best help you move more and feel better.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 65 years+ - NCT07410117RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing blood clots in advanced solid tumor cancer
This trial tests a new drug called REGN7508 to see if it can prevent dangerous blood clots in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. People with a higher risk of clots (based on a simple score or tumor genetics) may qualify.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05801224Recruiting
Vascular ARDS recruitment after inhaled nitric oxide
This study tests whether giving nitric oxide gas through a breathing tube helps people with a lung condition called ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) recover and leave the intensive care unit sooner. It may help some patients with mild-to-moderate cases who need a ventilator and a central line.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07774520RecruitingPhase 2
Lower dose of lazertinib plus magnesium to prevent nerve damage in advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a lower starting dose of the targeted therapy drug lazertinib combined with magnesium supplements to prevent a common side effect (peripheral neuropathy) in people with advanced lung cancer caused by certain EGFR mutations. The goal is to see if this approach keeps the drug effective while reducing nerve damage symptoms like numbness or tingling.
Seoul, Gang-nam GuAges 19 years+ - NCT07772895RecruitingPhase 1
Glowing dye to help surgeons see lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a dye that makes lung cancer cells glow during surgery, helping surgeons remove more of the tumor. It's for people who are already scheduled for lung cancer surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05787834Recruiting
Breathing exercises at home to reduce cancer treatment side effects
This study tests whether doing simple breathing exercises at home can help reduce side effects from cancer treatments like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation. It may help you feel better during your treatment.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT07017829RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for STK11-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (GT103) combined with the approved immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab for people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific genetic change (STK11). The goal is to see if adding GT103 helps control the cancer better than pembrolizumab alone.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07646860RecruitingPhase 2
Sotatercept for Japanese Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
This study tests a new medicine called sotatercept in Japanese children who have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)—a condition where blood vessels in the lungs become narrow and stiff, making it harder for the heart to pump blood through them. The medicine may help improve how well their hearts and lungs work together.
