Lung Cancer Clinical Trials in Jackson, MS

This ALCHEMIST trial studies genetic testing in screening patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been or will be removed by surgery. Studying the genes in a patient's tumor cells may help doctors select the best treatment for patients that have certain genetic changes. Read Less

This phase III ALCHEMIST trial tests the addition of pembrolizumab to usual chemotherapy for the treatment of stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, pemetrexed, carboplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab with usual chemotherapy may help increase survival times in patients with stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. Read Less

The Phase 2 portion of this study evaluates the efficacy and safety of MRTX849 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in cohorts of patients with advanced NSCLC with KRAS G12C mutation and any PD-L1 TPS and who are candidates for first-line treatment. The Phase 3 portion of the study compares the efficacy of adagrasib in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC with KRAS G12C mutation and PD-L1 TPS \>=50% and who are candidates for first line treatment.

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have advanced solid tumors including a specific kind of lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC). Advanced solid tumors are types of cancer that have spread to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, and/or to distant parts of the body and that are unlikely to be cured or controlled with currently available treatments. BAY2862789 works by blocking an enzyme in T-cells, thereby activating them. T-cells are a type of immune cell that are known to have an anti-cancer effect. The main purpose of this first-in-human study is to learn: * how safe different doses of BAY2862789 are, * the degree to which medical problems caused by BAY2862789 can be tolerated (also called tolerability), * what maximum amount (dose) can be given, and * how BAY2862789 moves into, through and out of the body. To answer this, the researchers will look at: * the number and severity of medical problems participants have after taking BAY2862789 for each dose level. These medical problems are also referred to as adverse events. An adverse event is considered "serious" when it leads to death, puts the participants' lives at risk, requires hospitalization, causes disability, causes a baby being born with medical problems or is otherwise medically important. * the (average) total level of BAY2862789 in the blood (also called AUC) after intake of single and multiple doses. * the (average) highest level of BAY2862789 in the blood (also called Cmax) after intake of single and multiple doses. Doctors and their team keep track of all medical problems that participants have during the study, even if they do not think the medical problem might be related to the study treatment. In addition, the researchers want to know if and how the participants' tumors change after taking BAY2862789. The study will have two parts. The first part, called dose escalation, is done to find the most appropriate dose that can be given in the second part of the study. For this, each participant will receive one of the increasing doses of BAY2862789. All participants in the second part of the study, called dose expansion, will receive the most appropriate dose identified from the first part of the study, as tablet by mouth. Participants in both parts of the study, will take the study treatment until their tumor gets worse (also known as 'disease progression'), until they have medical problems, until they leave the study, or until the study is terminated. Each participant will be in the study for several months, including a test (screening) phase of up to 28 days, few months of treatment depending on the participant's benefit, and a follow up phase after the end of treatment. The following approximate numbers of visits to the study site are planned: two during the screening phase, six in the first treatment month, one to three per month in the following periods. During the study, the study team will: * take blood and urine samples * do physical examinations * check vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature * examine heart health using ECG (electrocardiogram) * check cancer status using CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and, if needed, bone scans * take tumor samples (if required) * pregnancy test The treatment period ends with a visit no later than 7 days after the last BAY2862789 dose. The study doctors and their team will check the participants' health and any changes in cancer about 30 and 90 days after the last dose and every 12 weeks thereafter. This follow-up period ends if the cancer worsens, if a new anti-cancer treatment is started, or until the participant leaves the study. In addition, the study doctors and their team will contact the participant every 12 weeks to learn about the participant's survival. This ends no later than 12 months after the last participant started treatment or by the end of the study, whichever comes first. If the study participant benefits from treatment, continuation of treatment with BAY2862789 beyond the duration of this study might be possible. Read Less

This screening and multi-sub-study randomized phase II/III trial will establish a method for genomic screening of similar large cancer populations followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-sub-study hybrid Master Protocol (Lung-MAP). The type of cancer trait (biomarker) will determine to which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to compare new targeted cancer therapy, designed to block the growth and spread of cancer, or combinations to standard of care therapy with the ultimate goal of being able to approve new targeted therapies in this setting. In addition, the protocol includes non-match sub-studies which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the biomarker-driven sub-studies. Read Less

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-small cell lung cancer and an ALK fusion mutation. Read Less
