Targeted hope: new drug tackles tough lung cancer in small trial
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a drug called teniposide in 15 people with advanced small cell lung cancer that has a specific gene change (c-Myc) and has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and control the disease. Participants must be in…

New drug duo aims to turn inoperable lung cancer into a surgical success
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether a combination of two drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and limertinib) can shrink locally advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer enough to allow surgery. About 36 adults who have not had prior treatment will receive the drugs before surgery. The main goal is to se…

New combo could turn inoperable lung cancer into operable disease
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether a new drug called IBI363, combined with chemotherapy, can shrink stage III lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to make the cancer small enough for surgery. About 43 adults with this type of lung cancer will take part. The main focus…

Less lung removal may be just as good for small cancers
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study compares two types of lung surgery for people with small lung cancers (≤2 cm). One surgery removes only a part of the lung lobe (segmentectomy), while the other removes the entire lobe (lobectomy). The goal is to see if the smaller surgery works just as well at prevent…

AI-Powered CT scans could replace costly PET scans for lung cancer diagnosis
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study aims to see if synthetic PET images, created from standard CT scans using artificial intelligence, can accurately diagnose and guide treatment for lung cancer. Researchers will enroll 10,000 people with non-small cell lung cancer to compare the synthetic images with re…

New painkiller may ease suffering after lung surgery
Symptom relief Recruiting nowThis study compares a long-acting painkiller (liposomal bupivacaine) to a standard one (bupivacaine hydrochloride) for pain relief after lung surgery. About 210 adults having chest surgery will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. The goal is to see if the long-acting ver…

Lab-Grown tumor clusters could revolutionize lung cancer drug choices
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at whether a lab-made model of a patient's lung cancer tumor can help doctors choose the best drugs. Researchers will grow tumor-like cell clusters from patient samples and test which medicines work best. The goal is to see if these lab results match real patient…
