This trial studies how well the drug JAB-21822 works in people with advanced or spread lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific genetic change: KRAS G12C, plus STK11 and no KEAP1 change. It’s designed to see safety and early signs of effectiveness, especially if you haven’t been treated much yet.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07399665Recruiting
Tezepelumab for chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps in Russia
This study tracks how well tezepelumab works for people with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps in real-world settings. It aims to see if this medication reduces symptoms and the need for surgery.

New pill TT-702 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new pill called TT-702, either alone or with an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can help shrink or slow the growth of tumors.
LondonAges 16 years+ - NCT07453966Recruiting
Lung vibration therapy for people on breathing machines with lung infection
This study tests a device that delivers gentle vibrations to the lungs to help clear infection in people who are on a breathing machine. It may help improve oxygen levels and recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07760012Recruiting
PET/CT scan for common solid tumors
This trial uses a new kind of PET/CT scan to take detailed pictures of solid tumors such as melanoma, liver, lung, breast, pancreatic, or ovarian cancer. The scan might help doctors find cancer more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07759856RecruitingPhase 2
Natural killer cells plus immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests combining natural killer (NK) cells with an immunotherapy drug as a maintenance treatment after standard chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if this combination can help keep the cancer from growing.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06542120Recruiting
Child health body sounds study
This study looks at how well a computer system can check children's health by listening to body sounds, like those from the heart, lungs, or belly. It is testing an AI system to see if it works well as an extra check alongside regular medical care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges Up to 18 years - NCT07761377Recruiting
Using AI to spot lung scarring on CT scans
This study tests whether an AI tool can correctly find lung scarring (pulmonary fibrosis) on CT scans as well as doctors do. The results could lead to faster, more consistent detection of this condition.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT07155200RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug combined with irinotecan for small cell lung cancer
This study tests a new drug (cirtuvivint) combined with irinotecan, a common chemotherapy, for people whose small cell lung cancer has progressed after at least one prior treatment. The goal is to see if the combination helps control the cancer and whether it is safe.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07761910RecruitingPhase 2
Study of heart effects of radiation therapy using PET-CT for stage III lung cancer
This study looks at whether PET-CT scans can help detect heart damage caused by radiation therapy in patients with stage III lung cancer. If you're getting chemotherapy and radiation together, you may participate to help doctors find ways to reduce heart risks.
