Could everyday heart drugs shield cancer patients from Radiation's cardiac toll?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether two common heart medications—atorvastatin (a statin) and lisinopril (an ACE inhibitor)—can prevent or reduce heart damage caused by radiation therapy for chest cancers like breast, lung, and esophageal cancer. About 60 adults receiving chest radiation wil…

Hope for aggressive lung cancer: targeted drug trial opens
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a drug called teniposide in people with a fast-growing type of lung cancer (extensive-stage small cell lung cancer) that has a specific gene change (c-Myc-driven). The cancer must have gotten worse after standard treatments. The goal is to see if teniposide can s…

10-Year lung study aims to create a 'Digital Twin' of your lungs
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study will follow 1000 adults for up to 10 years, using a special type of CT scan (photon-counting) to look for lung nodules, tumors, and other lung conditions. Researchers will also use artificial intelligence to create a virtual copy of each person's lungs, called a 'digit…
