Lung Cancer Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug NVL-520 that can be given safely in people with metastatic solid tumors that contain a change (fusion) involving the ROS1 gene. A fusion gene is made when parts of two different genes join together. NVL-520 blocks the ROS1 protein, which promotes cancer cell growth and survival. It is taken orally (by mouth

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug NVL-655 that can be given safely in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or other solid tumors that contain a genetic change called an ALK gene fusion. NVL-655 is a type of drug called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which works by blocking proteins that fuel cancer growth. However, some cancer cells develop resistance to TKI treatment.

Breast cancer (TNBC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that spread to other parts of the body (metastasize) are usually treated with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and/or radiation therapy. In this study, researchers want to see if using stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT) to all metastatic tumors plus standard therapy is more effective than standard therapy alone in patients with oligometastatic TNBC or NSCLC (five or fewer metastatic tumors).

KIF5B/RET is an abnormal gene that leads to the growth of lung cancer cells. Cabozantinib inhibits the effects of this gene. In addition, this drug interferes with other pathways that also cause cancer cells to grow, form new blood vessels, and spread to other parts of the body.

Osimertinib is a standard treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a change (mutation) in the EGFR gene. Researchers think that adding chemotherapy to osimertinib could make treatment more effective.

The purpose of this study is to assess stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat people with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have been newly diagnosed with brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain). SRS specifically targets a very small area of the body. By targeting the part of the brain where the cancer has spread, SRS may shrink the cancer without damaging healthy brain tissue.

Liver stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (L-SABR) is a standard treatment that uses radiation therapy to target tumors that have spread to the liver while limiting the radiation dose to surrounding organs. L-SABR may also boost the immune response.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug ZEN003694 in people with advanced squamous cell lung cancer that continues to grow despite treatment and contains multiple copies of a gene called NSD3. ZEN003694 blocks a group of proteins called BET, which may counteract the effect of NSD3 on tumor growth. Blocking these proteins may slow or stop the growth of lung cancer. ZEN003694 is taken orally (by mouth).

In this study, researchers are comparing the effectiveness bevacizumab plus osimertinib versus osimertinib alone as initial treatment for patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer that contains a mutation in a gene called EGFR.
