LUNG NEOPLASMS

This phase 2 trial tests a new drug called vebreltinib combined with standard chemotherapy as a first treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has MET overexpression and no other known genetic drivers. The study will enroll 19 participants to see if the …

This study tests a gene therapy called Gendicine, given as a mist to breathe in, for people with multiple ground-glass lung nodules — spots that may turn into cancer. About 38 adults will receive the treatment and be monitored with CT scans to see if the nodules shrink or disappe…

This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) prototype designed to quickly evaluate tissue samples taken during a bronchoscopy, a procedure used to diagnose lung cancer. The AI analyzes microscope images of the samples to determine if they are adequate for diagnosis and wheth…

This study tests whether a special dye, given before a bronchoscopy, can make lung tumors glow so doctors can see them more clearly. About 20 adults with a suspicious lung nodule or lymph node will receive the dye and then have a bronchoscopy with a special camera. The goal is to…

This study tests a home-based app for lung cancer patients on combination drug therapy. The app helps patients track symptoms, get personalized advice, and receive nurse support during treatment breaks. Researchers will see if it reduces symptom burden and improves quality of lif…

This study tests a new program called ADAPT, which is a type of talk therapy for lung cancer patients and their spouses. The goal is to help both partners feel less afraid of the cancer coming back. About 72 couples will try the program during chemotherapy or radiation and answer…

This study compares a newer anesthesia method where patients breathe on their own during lung surgery to the standard method using a breathing tube and machine. About 1,600 people having minimally invasive lung nodule removal will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. T…

This study will develop an artificial intelligence model that uses a patient's series of CT scans over time to predict whether a lung nodule will grow or become cancerous. Researchers will analyze scans from nearly 5,000 people to train the AI to recognize different growth patter…

This study tests whether the Apple Vision Pro headset can help surgeons see blood vessels more clearly during lung surgery. Twenty adults scheduled for lung surgery will have a CT scan before the operation, and the surgeon will wear the headset to view 3D images during the proced…

This study will examine immune cells found in fluid from the lungs of 60 people with advanced lung cancer. Researchers want to see if these cells can help predict how well standard cancer treatments work. Participants will have a bronchoscopy as part of their regular care, and th…
