Targeted radiation therapy for DLL3-positive advanced cancers
This study tests a new targeted radiation therapy (called [225Ac]Ac-ETN029) for people with advanced cancers that have a protein called DLL3 on their cells. The treatment is designed to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells, and the goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–100 - NCT06998706RecruitingPhase 1
Testing patient's own lung stem cells for ILD
This study tests whether a patient's own lung stem cells can be used to repair damaged lungs in people with interstitial lung disease. It is an early-stage trial to see if the treatment is safe and may help improve breathing.
Qionghai, HainanAges 40–75 - NCT07339059RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (sacituzumab govitecan with atezolizumab or durvalumab) as ongoing treatment to keep extensive-stage small cell lung cancer from progressing. It is for people who have already completed initial chemotherapy and immunotherapy without their cancer getting worse.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05227326RecruitingPhase 1
A new drug for solid cancers that did not respond to usual care
This early-stage (Phase 1) trial tests AOH1996 in adults with solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It’s meant to find a safe dose and see if the drug can help, especially in cancers with limited options.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07177339RecruitingPhase 3
Testing depemokimab for COPD with type 2 inflammation
This study tests an early treatment called depemokimab for people with moderate to severe COPD who have a type of inflammation linked to high eosinophils. It aims to reduce flare-ups and improve breathing.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT05950139RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vaccine to help stop lung cancer drug resistance
This early-phase study tests a personalized peptide vaccine designed to help prevent advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer from developing resistance to current targeted medicines. If you are stable on an ALK drug and don’t already have the specific resistance changes the vaccine targets, it may help your cancer stay controlled longer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04905693Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Extension inhaled treprostinil study for fibrotic lung disease
This is an add-on (extension) study testing whether continuing inhaled treprostinil can help people with fibrotic lung disease who took part in earlier related studies. It mainly continues treatment and follow-up for eligible participants.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT06150664RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CTX-8371 for advanced cancers no longer helped by standard therapy
This trial tests a new drug called CTX-8371 for people with advanced cancers (melanoma, head and neck, lung, triple-negative breast, or Hodgkin lymphoma) that have stopped responding to standard treatments, especially immunotherapy. It is a first-in-human study, meaning doctors are learning if the drug is safe and how well it works.
