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…

Lab-Grown tumor clusters could pick best lung cancer drugs
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at whether a lab-grown model of a patient's own lung cancer cells can help doctors choose the most effective drugs. Researchers will compare the model's predictions with how the patient actually responds to treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can guide…
