Metastatic Lung Cancer Clinical Trials
Here are the 6 most popular medical studies for metastatic lung cancer
MDM2 Inhibitor
Brigimadlin for Solid Cancers
This trial is for adults with advanced cancer in the biliary tract, pancreas, lung, or bladder. It examines whether a medicine called BI 907828 can help when other treatments have been unsuccessful. Participants take the medicine regularly and are monitored for changes in their health.
Behavioural Intervention
Decision Coaching for Lung Cancer Screening
This trial is testing whether navigator decision coaching, compared to enhanced usual care, results in better decision making for lung cancer screening, more screenings, and increased adherence to repeat screenings and diagnostic testing. A booster coaching session is also being tested to see if it increases adherence to repeat screenings.
Microwave Ablation

Behavioural Intervention
Decision Support Tool for Lung Cancer Screening
This trial is designed to increase the use of low-dose CT scans to screen for lung cancer by developing and disseminating patient-centered clinical decision support tools. These tools will be integrated with electronic health records and clinical workflows, and will prompt shared decision making when patients meet screening criteria. The goal is to promote standard of care that is endorsed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the US Preventive Services Task Force.
Checkpoint Inhibitor
Pembrolizumab + Chemoradiation +/- Olaparib for Stage III Lung Cancer
This trial will compare the efficacy of three different treatments for unresectable, locally advanced NSCLC. Arm 1 will receive pembrolizumab concurrently with chemoradiation, followed by pembrolizumab with olaparib placebo. Arm 2 will receive the same treatment as Arm 1, but will take olaparib instead of the placebo. Arm 3 will receive concurrent chemoradiation therapy followed by durvalumab. The primary hypothesis is that pembrolizumab with concurrent chemoradiation and olaparib is superior to durvalumab with respect to PFS and OS.
Behavioural Intervention
Communication Intervention for Dementia
This trial is testing whether or not the Jumpstart intervention can improve patient-centered outcomes for those with chronic illness. The study will specifically look at Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, but will also include other common chronic illnesses. The trial will assess the efficacy of the intervention by measuring quality of care, intensity of care outcomes, and patient- and family-reported outcomes.
