Testing lurbinectedin for small cell lung cancer that has returned
This trial compares a new drug combination (lurbinectedin with or without irinotecan) against the standard treatment (topotecan) for people whose small cell lung cancer has come back after initial chemotherapy. It aims to see if the new options work better.
Jilin CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06575439Recruiting
Study of lung cancer in people who have never smoked
This study looks at why some people who have never smoked develop lung cancer. Researchers will follow participants to learn about predictors and outcomes, with the goal of improving care for non-smokers with lung cancer.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06668103RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ABSK043 and Firmonertinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This study tests a new combination of two targeted therapies (ABSK043 and firmonertinib) for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer. It is for patients whose tumors have an EGFR mutation and are PD-L1 positive.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06730503Recruiting
Glycoprotein test for lung cancer immunotherapy response
This study looks at whether certain glycoproteins in your blood can help predict how well immunotherapy works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You would give blood samples before and after starting an immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04919265Recruiting
Mother and baby health study from early pregnancy
This study follows pregnant people and their babies from the first few months of pregnancy through at least one year after birth. It aims to learn how health and development turn out, especially for mothers who can keep coming to the same clinic for follow-up.
Kajang, SelangorAges 18–45 - NCT07559786RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab after chemo-radiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether the drug adebrelimab (a type of immunotherapy) can help prevent your lung cancer from coming back after you finish chemotherapy and radiation. It is for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (cancer found only in one lung and nearby lymph nodes) that did not grow during initial treatment.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT07561190Recruiting
Studying tumor biology in malignant pleural mesothelioma
This study collects and analyzes tumor samples from patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (a cancer of the lung lining caused by asbestos exposure) to better understand the disease and find new treatment approaches. Researchers will examine your tumor at the molecular level to identify patterns that might help predict treatment outcomes.
CataniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06733662Recruiting
Motivational interviewing education for COPD patients
This study tests whether a special education program (using motivational interviewing) can help people with COPD stick to their treatment plan and take better care of themselves. It's for people who are stable and not in the middle of a flare-up.
KahramanmaraşAges 18 years+ - NCT07566195RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term Safety of Tozorakimab in COPD Patients
This study follows patients who previously took part in a tozorakimab trial to see how safe the drug is over time. Tozorakimab is an antibody treatment designed to reduce flare-ups (exacerbations) in people with COPD, a chronic lung disease.
