Recruiting studies
- NCT04605770RecruitingPhase 2

ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07751536Recruiting
Proton radiation and intrathecal chemo for lung cancer that has spread to the brain lining
This trial tests a combination of proton radiation to the brain and spine plus chemotherapy given directly into the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. It is for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer) that has spread to the lining of the brain and has continued to grow despite taking a third-generation TKI medicine like osimertinib.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Pemetrexed?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 167 recruiting studies that include Pemetrexed, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Pemetrexed trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Pemetrexed an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Pemetrexed or a specific trial is right for you.
