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.

Dabrafenib and trametinib for BRAF V600 cancers
This trial tests two targeted drugs (dabrafenib and trametinib) for patients whose cancer has a specific change in the BRAF gene called V600. These drugs work together to block signals that help the cancer grow. The trial is for children, teenagers, and adults with many types of cancer, except for a few common ones that already have approved treatments.

New drug combo vs standard care for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (atigotatug and nivolumab) against the standard drug durvalumab for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer who have completed chemotherapy and radiation without the cancer getting worse. The goal is to see if the new combination works better at keeping the cancer from coming back.

Oral KT-621 for moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma
This trial tests an oral medication called KT-621 for people with moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma. It aims to see if the drug can help control asthma better than the standard inhaled treatments alone.
Lancaster, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06296173Recruiting
Lung-protective breathing tube removal after surgery
This study tests a special breathing tube removal method during surgery recovery to protect your lungs. It may help you breathe better after your abdominal surgery.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07439471Recruiting
Study on tobacco and cannabis co-use in young adults
This study looks at why and how young adults use both tobacco and cannabis together. It may help understand patterns of use and improve future health programs.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–30 - NCT07133880RecruitingPhase 4
Nebulizer vs inhaler for COPD breathing treatment
This study compares two ways to deliver long-acting bronchodilator medications for COPD: a nebulizer (machine that turns liquid medicine into a mist) versus a handheld inhaler. The goal is to see which method works better for people with moderate to severe COPD symptoms.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 40 years+ - NCT07144280RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug vs docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new experimental drug called PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a type of advanced lung cancer that has PD-L1 protein on at least 1% of tumor cells and has progressed after prior treatments. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Alabaster, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06768307RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab + Chemo with Radiation for Extensive-Stage SCLC
This study tests whether giving a combination of the immunotherapy drug Adebrelimab plus chemotherapy together with radiation (given at the same time) is better than giving radiation after chemo for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who haven't been treated before.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07222566RecruitingPhase 3
New drug plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new study drug called PF-08634404 combined with standard chemotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
