Trial Now Recruiting: A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Sutetinib Maleate Capsule in Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC (NCT06010329)

Researchers are testing a new cancer drug called sutetinib maleate in people with advanced lung cancer that has specific uncommon genetic mutations. This is a Phase 2 trial, meaning the drug has already been tested in a small group and now researchers want to see if it works better and remains safe in a larger group of 66 patients. The study is currently accepting new participants.

WHY IT MATTERSIf you have metastatic or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer with uncommon EGFR mutations, this trial offers access to a potentially new treatment option that may not yet be available outside of clinical research.

Trial Now Recruiting: A Study of BH-30643 in Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC Harboring EGFR and/or HER2 Mutations (NCT06706076)

Researchers are testing a new drug called BH-30643 for advanced lung cancer patients whose tumors have specific genetic mutations (EGFR or HER2). The study will first figure out the right dose and watch for side effects, then test how well the drug works against the cancer. About 266 patients will participate across multiple hospitals.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is now actively recruiting patients with EGFR and/or HER2-mutated advanced NSCLC — if you have this genetic profile and have exhausted standard treatments, you may be eligible to access a potentially new treatment option.

Trial Now Recruiting: Neoadjuvant Umbrella Trial for Patients With Unresectable Stage III NSCLC Harboring Rare Mutations. (NCT06563999)

Researchers are looking for patients with advanced lung cancer (stage III) that cannot be removed with surgery and has unusual genetic mutations. The study will test whether giving patients targeted drugs based on their specific genetic mutation, followed by surgery, works better than standard treatment. About 120 patients will participate in this research.

WHY IT MATTERSIf you have unresectable stage III NSCLC with a rare mutation, this trial offers access to personalized treatment tailored to your specific genetic profile before surgery—an approach not yet widely available outside research settings.

Trial Now Recruiting: Study of High-Precision Evaluation of Molecular ResiduaL Disease Through a PlatfOrm for Cancer TracKing and Interception (SHERLOCK) (NCT07524114)

Researchers are recruiting 7,000 cancer patients to test a new way of detecting cancer that comes back after treatment. By analyzing blood, tissue, and other body fluids for traces of cancer DNA, doctors hope to catch cancer earlier and help patients stay cancer-free longer. This study includes many types of cancer and will help doctors decide on the best treatment plans.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is now actively recruiting patients with various cancer types at a major Canadian cancer center, offering access to cutting-edge molecular residual disease testing that could detect cancer recurrence months before traditional imaging scans.

Trial Now Recruiting: A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Zipalertinib Versus Placebo for Adjuvant Treatment in Participants With Stage IB-IIIA NSCLC With Uncommon EGFR Mutations, Following Complete Tumor Resection (NCT07128199)

Researchers are testing a new drug called zipalertinib to see if it helps people with early-stage lung cancer that has specific genetic mutations. Patients who had surgery to remove their tumors will receive either the new drug or a placebo (fake medicine) along with standard chemotherapy. The study wants to find out if zipalertinib can prevent the cancer from coming back better than chemotherapy alone.

WHY IT MATTERSIf you have early-stage NSCLC with uncommon EGFR mutations (like exon 20 insertions) and recently had surgery, this trial offers access to a targeted therapy specifically designed for your mutation type before it becomes widely available.
