This study tests an experimental oral drug called silevertinib (BDTX-1535) in about 200 adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer or glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. The drug is designed to block specific EGFR mutations that help these cancers grow. The trial has two p…

This study was designed to test two immunotherapy drugs, atezolizumab and tiragolumab, in people with advanced lung cancer that has special immune cell clusters called tertiary lymphoid structures. The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are avail…

This study tests a new drug called JDQ443, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change called KRAS G12C. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors. About 344 adults whose cancer has not …

This early-phase trial is testing whether adding local treatments like surgery or radiation to the targeted drug brigatinib can help control advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. About 35 people who have not yet taken other targeted therapies will receive brigatinib f…

This early-phase trial explores whether two experimental PET/CT tracers, 68Ga-FAPI-46 and 68Ga-PSMA-11, can accurately highlight various non-prostate cancers, including breast, lung, and pancreatic tumors. Participants scheduled for surgery will receive the tracers before their s…

This study is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) program called qXR that analyzes chest X-rays to give a lung nodule malignancy score — a number that indicates how likely a lung nodule is to be cancer. Researchers will compare the AI's score to the results of CT scans and ra…

This phase 1 trial is testing a new imaging tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46 to see where it collects in normal and cancerous tissues. About 30 people with various solid tumors or blood cancers will receive the tracer and then undergo a PET/CT scan. The goal is to understand how the tr…

This study tests a new radioactive tracer called 18F-alphavbeta6-binding-peptide to see if it can safely and clearly show cancers in the breast, colon, lung, or pancreas. About 27 adults with these cancers will get the tracer and have a PET scan. The goal is to find out if this m…

This early-phase trial tests a MUC1 peptide vaccine in 50 current or former smokers at high risk for lung cancer. The vaccine aims to train the immune system to recognize and attack precancerous cells before they become cancer. The study focuses on safety and whether the vaccine …

This phase 2 trial tests whether metformin, a safe and widely used diabetes drug, can lower the risk of lung cancer in overweight or obese former smokers who are at high risk. About 50 participants will take metformin for 6 months to see if it reduces certain immune cells linked …

This study tests a new web-based tool called CONNECT, designed to help caregivers of people with stage II to IV lung cancer find support resources. About 216 caregivers will use the tool and have sessions with a navigator to see if it helps them feel more supported. The goal is t…

This study tests a nurse-led program designed to help people with advanced lung or gynecologic cancer manage their fears about the future. The program is delivered through video sessions and includes coping strategies. The study will enroll 42 patients to see if the program is pr…

This study looks at whether a yoga program can improve physical performance, quality of life, and reduce symptoms for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy and their partners. About 600 patients with lung, head and neck, or esophageal cancer, along with their partners, wil…

This study tests whether spiritual care sessions can improve spiritual wellbeing, reduce anxiety and depression, and increase satisfaction with care for people with stage IV lung or gastrointestinal cancer. About 36 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either spiritual car…

This study tests whether an extra meeting with a team of doctors, a palliative care specialist, and a psychologist can help patients with advanced cancer feel less torn about their next treatment. 62 adults with metastatic lung, breast, colon, ovarian, or prostate cancer who need…

This study aimed to evaluate how community cancer centers test for biomarkers in common solid cancers like breast, lung, and colorectal cancer. Researchers planned to survey pathology practices to see if they follow guidelines for key tests and how quickly results are reported. T…

This study tests a web-based education tool called HOPE-Genomics that teaches cancer patients about their genetic test results. About 465 adults with breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer are taking part. The goal is to see if the tool helps patients r…

This study tests a low-literacy conversation tool designed to help lung cancer patients and their doctors make treatment decisions together. Researchers will enroll 300 patients to see if the tool improves understanding, reduces confusion, and boosts confidence in choices. The fo…

This phase II trial, called MATCH, is testing whether treating cancer based on the genetic makeup of a patient's tumor works better than standard treatments. Over 6,400 adults with advanced solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma that have not responded to prior therapy are …

This study looks at what happens when older smokers (ages 50-80) who are at high risk for lung cancer switch from regular cigarettes to e-cigarettes. Researchers will track how many cigarettes they smoke and measure health markers like inflammation in their blood. The goal is to …
