LUNG CARCINOMA

This study is testing whether a combination of tools can help cancer survivors living in rural areas better manage their health after treatment ends. Participants create their own survivorship care plan and some receive a phone-based education session. The goal is to see if this …

This study tests whether a centralized care coordination system can help more people complete their recommended follow-up appointments after lung cancer screening. It involves over 6,700 current or former heavy smokers at community health centers. The program tracks patients, sen…

This large national trial is testing whether choosing cancer drugs based on the specific genetic changes found in a patient's tumor is more effective than standard approaches. It is for adults with advanced solid tumors, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma that have progressed after at…

This early safety study aims to find the right dose and understand the side effects of a new drug combination for people with advanced solid tumors who also have liver or kidney problems. It tests adding a pill called veliparib to standard chemotherapy drugs. The main goal is to …

This early-phase study is testing a new radioactive tracer called 18F-αvβ6-BP to see if it can help doctors better locate cancer in the body. The tracer is given by IV, and then patients undergo several PET scans to see where it collects. The main goals are to check the safety of…

This study is testing whether a drug called canakinumab can help prevent lung cancer in former heavy smokers. Researchers are giving the drug to 41 participants to see if it reduces inflammation in the lungs, which is linked to cancer development. The main goal is to see if block…

This study is testing whether a 12-week program of virtual exercise classes and group counseling can change gut bacteria and reduce body-wide inflammation in people at high risk for lung cancer. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and if it improves health marke…

This study is testing if a widely used, safe diabetes medication called metformin can lower the chance of developing lung cancer. It involves 50 overweight former and current smokers who are at high risk for the disease. Researchers want to see if taking metformin daily for six m…

This study is testing whether a yoga program can help cancer patients and their partners feel better during radiation treatment. It will enroll 600 couples where one person has lung, head and neck, or esophageal cancer. Researchers want to see if doing yoga together improves phys…

This study is looking at what happens when older smokers at high risk for lung cancer switch from regular cigarettes to e-cigarettes. Researchers are measuring changes in smoking habits and certain health markers in the blood over 26 weeks. The goal is to gather information to he…

This study aimed to understand how community cancer clinics test for biomarkers—specific genetic changes in tumors—to help guide treatment decisions for common cancers like breast, lung, and colorectal. It planned to survey pathology labs to see what tests they run, how quickly t…

This study is testing a web-based education tool called HOPE-Genomics to see if it helps cancer patients better understand their personal genetic test results and general cancer genomics. Researchers are comparing the tool's effectiveness against standard education methods in abo…

This study is testing a small change to a common lung cancer biopsy procedure to see if it gets better samples. Doctors are comparing tissue samples taken with and without a gentle suction during the biopsy. The goal is to see if suction helps collect more usable tissue with less…
