Genomic and Proteomic Analysis of Disease Progression in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
NCT00373841
Recruiting
The purpose of the study is to identify genetic and biologic markers that may predict the loss of lung function due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The studies will compare genetic and biologic markers of samples to changes in symptoms. The ultimate goal is to predict if or when patients are likely to experience a rapid decline in lung function due to disease progression.

Study of PLK1 Inhibitor, Onvansertib, in Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer
NCT05450965
Recruiting
This phase II clinical trial will study the safety and efficacy of onvansertib to treat patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have either not responded to or are unable to tolerate chemotherapy. Onvansertib is a drug that inhibits polo-like kinase 1 (PLK-1), an enzyme that is over-expressed in many cancer cells and is involved in cellular repair.
