Crizotinib in Treating Patients With Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Been Removed by Surgery and ALK Fusion Mutations (An ALCHEMIST Treatment Trial)
NCT02201992
Recruiting
This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. Crizotinib may be an effective treatment for patients with non-sma... Read More

Targeting Inflammation With Losartan to Improve Response to Modulator Therapy in Cystic Fibrosis.
NCT06364176
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test use of losartan in those with cystic fibrosis (CF) on modulator therapy. The main question it aims to answer is if treatment with losartan improves response of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel to modulator therapy. Participants will be asked take losartan or placebo for twelve weeks and will have changes in sweat chloride levels measured as a marker of CFTR function.
