Lung cancer clinical trials — recruiting now

This is a Phase 1 and Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of INV-8989 in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring KRAS G12D mutations.

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2 study of orally administered VMD-928 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma that have progressed or are non responsive to available therapies and for which no standard or available curative therapy exists

This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label dose escalation study to determine the safety and tolerability of intratumoral (IT) injection of tolododekin alfa (ANK-101) in participants with advanced solid tumors who have progressed during or after receiving standard of care (SOC) therapy or who will not benefit from such therapy. The study will be conducted in three parts; in Part 1, participants with superficial lesions will receive ANK-101 as a single agent; in Part 2, participants with visceral lesions will receive ANK-101 as a single agent; and in Part 3, participants with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) will receive ANK-101 in combination with cemiplimab.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and recommended dose of TRI-611 when administered to adults with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The trial will also evaluate the antitumor activity of TRI-611 in adults with ALK-positive NSCLC. The study will be conducted in two parts. The first part will examine different doses of TRI-611. The second part will look at how well TRI-611 works on ALK-positive NSCLC when administered to three groups of participants that differ based on what type of prior therapy they have received. In this study participants will: * Take TRI-611 on a continued basis, provided it is well-tolerated, for as long as their disease is not progressing * Visit the clinic approximately seven times in the first 3 months and then just once at the start of each 28-day cycle thereafter * Keep a diary of each time they take the study medication

The goal of this study is to find out whether phycocyanin, a natural protein from spirulina, can help protect the liver and support recovery in adults having part of their liver removed. The study will also look at whether phycocyanin is safe to take.The main questions are: Does phycocyanin reduce liver injury after surgery? Does it help the liver grow back and recover? What side effects or medical problems happen while taking it? Researchers will compare phycocyanin with a placebo, which looks similar but does not contain phycocyanin. About 30 people will take part. Each person will be randomly placed into one of the two groups, and neither the participants nor the researchers will know which treatment each person receives during the study. Participants will: Take 1.5 grams of phycocyanin or placebo every day for 3 weeks before surgery and 3 weeks after surgery Receive the usual care for liver surgery Give blood and stool samples before and after treatment Allow researchers to study a small piece of liver tissue removed during surgery Return for follow-up for up to 90 days after surgery The samples will be used to check liver function, inflammation, gut bacteria, and changes linked to liver healing. Possible side effects include an allergic reaction or stomach discomfort. The study has been approved by an ethics committee.

The PROACT LUNG study is a prospective multi-center observational study to validate a blood-based test for the early detection of lung cancer by collecting blood samples from high-risk participants who will undergo a routine, standard-of-care screening Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT).

his multicenter, open-label, single-arm phase I/II trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of oral paclitaxel solution combined with an immune checkpoint inhibitor and concurrent stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) as neoadjuvant therapy in patients aged 70 years or older with resectable stage IIA-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without sensitizing EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 alterations. In Phase I, a 3+3 dose-escalation design will evaluate oral paclitaxel at 80, 120, and 160 mg/m² administered orally on Days 1 and 8 of each cycle, divided into morning and evening doses, in combination with an investigator-selected anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody and SBRT at 8 Gy in 3 fractions. Phase II will expand enrollment at the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). The principal efficacy outcome is pathologic complete response after surgery. Other outcomes include major pathologic response, radiographic response, event-free survival, overall survival, surgical resection and R0 resection rates, and exploratory biomarker changes.

Patients with leukemia and concomitant neutropenia are at high risk of developing invasive fungal infections (IFI) that are associated with high morbidity and mortality. As these patients typically have severe thrombocytopenia, direct diagnostic sampling with invasive procedures is often not possible due to the high peri-interventional risk. Therefore, the presumptive diagnosis of IFI is primarily based on compatible lung findings on computed tomography and serologic detection of fungal cell wall components, which, however, have limited sensitivity and specificity. With the present study, the investigators aim to determine a set of specific volatile biomarkers in leukemia patients with proven or probable IFI using secondary electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (SESI-HRMS).

The purpose of present study is to provide clinical evidences for the appropriate management of molar pregnancy with lung nodule. The hydatidiform mole patients with lung nodule ≥1.0cm will be randomized into 2 groups: A. treated with chemotherapy immediately, B. follow up until hCG level met FIGO diagnostic criteria of GTN (B1) or hCG level declined to normal spontaneously (B2). Lung nodule \<1.0cm will directly treated as group C

Early-stage non small cell lung cancer represents 20-30% of all non small cell lung cancer and is characterized by a high survival probability after surgical resection. However, considering stage IA-IIIA non small cell lung cancer, a relapse rate of about 50% is observed, with a different survival probability on the basis of tumor node metastasis status, although patients within the same tumor node metastasis stage exhibit wide variations in recurrence rate. There are currently no validated prognostic biomarkers able to identify patients with a high risk of relapse.

The study investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the psychological, financial, physical, and social well-being of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients and survivors. AYA cancer survivors have inferior long-term survival compared to the general population, and the negative impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic may be even higher in this vulnerable group. The information gained from this study may provide an opportunity to determine the self-reported COVID-19 specific psychological distress in AYA cancer survivors, and may lead to the development of a targeted intervention to improve physical and psychosocial health for AYA cancer patients and survivors.

This open-label clinical trial will evaluate the safety and tolerability of NN3201 in subjects with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors known to express c-Kit.

This is a Phase 1a/1b, dose-escalation/expansion, consecutive-cohort, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of PLN-101095 in combination with pembrolizumab (the study treatment regimen) in adult participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which pembrolizumab is indicated but have documented disease progression (refractory \[primary resistance\]) or relapsed \[secondary resistance\]) after at least 3 months from the start of treatment with pembrolizumab. The study will consist of 2 main parts: * Part 1: Consecutive dose-escalation cohorts using a Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) dose escalation design with accelerated titration * Part 2: Dose-expansion cohorts using Simon's 2-stage design

TIER-PC is an adaptive model of delivering palliative care that provides the right level of care to the right patients at the right time. It represents an adaption of the Mount Sinai PALLIATIVE CARE AT HOME (PC@H) program, which delivers home-based palliative care. TIER-PC increases the number and intensity of disciplines added to the patient's care team as their symptoms worsen and function declines. In Tier 1, patients who are able to care for themselves and no/mild symptoms receive a community health worker (CHW) trained to elicit illness understanding in a culturally competent way. In Tier 2, for patients with poorer function and mild symptoms, a social worker (SW), trained in serious illness communication, joins the CHW to further elicit patients' goals and prognostic understanding while communicating symptom needs to their primary clinician. In Tier 3, as function decreases and symptoms increase, an advance practice nurse (APN) joins the CHW and SW to manage complex symptoms. Finally, in Tier 4, for those older adults with the poorest function and most complex symptoms, a physician joins the team to ensure that the most complex needs (e.g., end-of-life treatment preferences and multifaceted symptom control) are met. The CHW follows patients longitudinally across all tiers and re-allocates them to the appropriate tier based on their evolving needs.

Phase I Study of NT-175, an autologous T cell therapy product genetically engineered to express an HLA-A\*02:01-restricted T cell receptor (TCR), targeting TP53 R175H mutant malignancies

This research study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a novel immunotherapy, Fast TIL, an Adoptive Cellular Therapeutic (ACT), to fight cancer that has spread to the pleura or pleural mesothelioma. The ACT product is created at AHN West Penn using the participant's pleural infiltrating T-cells (PIT). It is administered through a pleural catheter along with the drug Interleukin-2 (IL-2). Based on previous research it is believed that it may help fight the tumor and relieve symptoms. As a participant, their pleural fluid will be collected and the PIT cells will be isolated and expanded in the lab to create the ACT product. Before receiving the ACT product through their pleural catheter, they will undergo outpatient lymphodepleting chemotherapy. LDC is a standard procedure for many approved immunotherapy treatments Following the infusion, they'll receive IL-2 through the catheter for two days to stimulate the expanded PIT cells. The active treatment phase lasts about three weeks, with follow-up visits over five years at AHN West Penn Hospital, potentially requiring a hospital stay of up to six days. Blood samples will be taken to monitor their response. As this is a first-in-human study, treatment carries an unknown risk up to and including death from toxicity. However, the risks of similar immunotherapy treatments are well documented.

The phase I/II trial assess the safety and efficacy of a new positron emission tomography (PET) test for early diagnosis of lung cancer. This study uses PET and Me-4FDG new glucose tracer (alpha-methyl-4-deoxy-4-\[(18)F\]fluoro-D-glucopyranoside) designed specifically to determine glucose update into cells in the body. PET is a non-invasive imaging method used to detect cancer in patient. Me4FDG is a radioactive glucose tracer used in PET to locate cells in the body taking up glucose by SGLT2. SLGT2 is a sodium glucose transport protein that accumulates glucose in some cells, e.g. kidney cells and tumors. This study may help researcher determine how effective PET with ME4FDG tracer works in detecting lung cancer.

This study is a single-center, prospective, single-arm exploratory clinical study of hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by tislelizumab and anlotinib neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy. It is designed for patients with stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. The efficacy and safety of hypofractionated radiotherapy sequential tislelizumab and anlotinib in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment of stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer are observed. Finally, it provides new evidence-based medical evidence for the perioperative treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.

The aim of this randomized study is to investigate pneumonitis, local tumor control, and survival outcomes of primary tumor radiotherapy omitting CTV for patients with advanced NSCLC responded to immunotherapy and chemotherapy

BEACON (Benchmarking AI for Clinical Oncology decisioNmaking) is a prospective, multicentre, comparative, blinded, non-interventional benchmark evaluating the treatment recommendations of five frontier large language models (LLMs) against the recommendations of multidisciplinary tumour boards (RCP) in oncology treatment planning. One hundred standardised synthetic cases (20 per localisation, across breast, lung, urological, digestive and gynaecological cancers) are submitted as identical structured input to two independent tumour boards per localisation and to five frontier LLMs. Each recommendation - human or model - is decomposed into five predefined decision domains (intent, surgery, radiotherapy, systemic therapy, work-up and biomarkers) and scored 0/1/2 for concordance against a two-tier reference: the consensus of the two tumour boards, complemented by an a priori locked guideline matrix (ESMO, NCCN). The primary endpoint is domain-level concordance between LLM and RCP consensus, expressed as a linearly weighted Cohen's kappa. A co-primary safety endpoint captures the proportion of recommendations carrying serious harm potential, because concordance alone can conceal dangerous errors. Because expert boards may disagree with one another on identical cases, model performance is always interpreted against the human consensus. BEACON is designed as reusable, openly licensed, pre-registered infrastructure: all synthetic cases, evaluation rubrics, the locked guideline matrix, scoring algorithms and verbatim prompts are released for full reproducibility.
