Clinical Trials for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

A Multicenter Phase 1-2A Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Antitumor Activity of LNS8801 in Patients with Advanced Cancer with and Without Pembrolizumab

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with advanced/metastatic solid tumors lacking standard options—including cohorts for pancreatic, gastric, NSCLC, colorectal, metastatic uveal melanoma (≤2 prior lines), PD‑1/L1–refractory cutaneous melanoma, and PD‑1/L1–relapsed solid tumors—receive oral LNS8801, a selective GPER agonist, as monotherapy or combined with pembrolizumab. Key exclusions include ERα‑positive malignancies, active CNS disease for combo, prior severe PD‑1/L1 irAEs (for combo), recent estrogen/ER‑directed therapy, and strong CYP modulators or PPIs.

Prevention of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (TROP-2 Directed ADC) Associated Stomatitis in Patients With HER2-negative Metastatic Breast Cancer or Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Using Dexamethasone Mouthwash: a Single-arm, Phase 2 Trial (TROPION- DM, 2023-ESR-000087)

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with advanced/metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer (TNBC or HR+/HER2− post-CDK4/6 and chemo/ADC) or previously treated non-squamous NSCLC receive datopotamab deruxtecan (TROP2-directed ADC delivering a topoisomerase I inhibitor) plus prophylactic dexamethasone mouthwash. The study assesses whether short-course steroid mouthwash during the first three cycles reduces Dato-DXd–associated stomatitis while patients continue Dato-DXd q3w.

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Untreated adults with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC that overexpresses HER2 and has PD-L1 TPS &lt;50%, without actionable driver alterations or HER2 mutation. Randomized to trastuzumab deruxtecan (HER2-targeted antibody–drug conjugate delivering a topoisomerase I inhibitor) plus pembrolizumab versus standard pemetrexed/platinum plus pembrolizumab.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06899126

Patient Preference for Subcutaneous vs. Intravenous Immune Therapy (PSI-Immune)

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors eligible for on-label PD-1 therapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) are randomized in a crossover design to receive standard PD-1 inhibitors via subcutaneous versus intravenous administration, assessing patient/clinician preference, satisfaction, QoL, safety, and selected clinical outcomes. Includes PD-(L)1–naïve patients or those willing to switch; excludes prior severe hypersensitivity and transplant history.

LUNG-05: Investigating Chemotherapy Effectiveness for NSCLC Metastatic Patients

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with previously treated stage IV NSCLC (ECOG 0–2) eligible for standard cytotoxic chemotherapy receive NCCN-concordant agents (e.g., docetaxel, paclitaxel, gemcitabine, pemetrexed, vinorelbine) selected by the investigational OncoChoice ex vivo drug-responsiveness assay performed on fresh tumor/fluid samples. Single-arm study assessing objective response, with secondary endpoints including 6-month PFS, OS, and QoL.
