This study compares two treatments for lung lesions in people with non-small cell lung cancer, sarcoma, or colorectal cancer that has spread. One treatment uses microwaves to heat and kill tumor cells, while the other is a surgery to remove a small piece of lung. Researchers want…

This study looks at whether using focused radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) only on the brain tumors, instead of the whole brain, can help preserve thinking and memory in people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. About 55 participants will receive this …

This early trial tests combining the targeted drug brigatinib with local treatments like surgery or radiation for people with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps control the cancer longer. About 35 participants w…

This study tests a combination of three drugs (niraparib, temozolomide, and atezolizumab) in people with advanced solid tumors or extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has responded to initial chemotherapy. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the combination help…

This study tests whether a lung cancer drug called atezolizumab can be safely given as a shot under the skin at home, with doctors monitoring patients through video calls. It involves 5 adults with non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this home-based approach is prac…

This study looks at whether adding surgery or radiation to the targeted drug osimertinib helps people with advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer live longer without their cancer growing. About 173 participants will receive either osimertinib alone or osimertinib plus lo…

This early-phase study tests a new drug combination for people with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to find the best dose of ensartinib when given with standard chemotherapy and a targeted antibody. About 12 participants will receive the treatment to…

This study tests a drug called selpercatinib in people with advanced or returning non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific gene change (RET fusion). The drug works by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow. About 124 participants will receive the treatment to see if i…

This study tests a combination of three drugs (chemotherapy, anti-angiogenesis, and immunotherapy) in 30 adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that worsened after standard treatments. The goal is to see if this triple therapy is safe and works better than current option…

This study tests a combination of three drugs—osimertinib, trastuzumab, and necitumumab—in people with advanced EGFR-mutated lung cancer that no longer responds to osimertinib alone. About 30 participants will receive the drugs to find the safest dose and see if the combination c…

This study tests a new drug combination for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer). The two drugs, LY3295668 and osimertinib, work by blocking enzymes that help cancer cells grow. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if…

This phase 2 study tests a new drug (pevonedistat) combined with two standard chemotherapies (carboplatin and paclitaxel) in 27 adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control th…

This study tests a drug called AMG 510 in people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS G12C mutation). The drug is designed to block the cancer's growth signal. About 116 participants will receive the treatment to see if it can shrink tumors and slow …
