AI tool to predict lung cancer spread during ultrasound staging
This trial tests an artificial intelligence platform that helps doctors predict if lymph nodes in the chest contain cancer during a routine ultrasound procedure. It aims to make staging more accurate for people with suspected or confirmed non-small cell lung cancer.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07094113RecruitingPhase 1
AMG 410 alone or with other drugs for KRAS-altered advanced cancers
This study tests a new drug called AMG 410 by itself or with other medicines in people whose cancer has a specific change in the KRAS gene. It is for advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments or who have chosen not to take them.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07049744Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for adults with obstructive sleep apnea
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve to keep your airway open during sleep. It might help if you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and cannot use a CPAP mask.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 21 years+ - NCT05267626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AU-007 antibody for hard-to-remove or spread skin and lung cancers
This trial tests AU-007, an antibody that targets the IL-2 pathway, in people with certain advanced skin (melanoma) or lung (NSCLC) cancers. It’s designed for cancers that have already progressed after prior immune and other treatments, to see if AU-007 can shrink tumors or control disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07232550Recruiting
Breathing study for children needing bronchoscopy
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
