Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07775820Recruiting
Retrying immunotherapy after lung inflammation
This trial looks at whether people with lung cancer who had lung inflammation from immunotherapy can safely try immunotherapy again. It aims to see if restarting treatment helps without causing severe side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07782879Recruiting
Quit smoking help for menthol cigarette smokers
This study tests different quit-smoking messages to see which ones help people who smoke menthol cigarettes try to quit. You'll look at messages on a computer that tracks your eye movements, and we'll follow up to see if you make a quit attempt.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06553911Recruiting
AI tools for diagnosing respiratory infections
This trial uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help doctors read X-rays or CT scans of people with respiratory infections. The goal is to see if AI can make diagnosis faster and more accurate.

Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy vs Avastin for advanced lung cancer
This trial compares a combination of anti-angiogenics (bevacizumab) plus chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) against Avastin-based treatment in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to find out whether the study treatment is safer and works better for shrinking tumors and improving outcomes.
