Reduced-dose Carboplatin-doublet-chemotherapy + Cemiplimab vs Cemiplimab Monotherapy in Treatment Naive Older and Frail Patients With Metastatic NSCLC With PD-L1 <50%

Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer is often treated with a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In patients over the age of 70, some are already in poor health and frail, requiring assistance with daily activities, for example. Older and/or frail individuals often do not tolerate standard-dose chemotherapy well, and their risk of side effects is higher than that of younger patients. For this reason, the SAKK 18/24 study is investigating how effective and safe chemotherapy is in patients over 70 years of age when the chemotherapy drugs are administered at lower doses than usual. The aim of the study is to find a potentially effective and well-tolerated treatment for older people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Magnesium Supplementation in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This study investigates whether adding magnesium to the standard chemo-immunotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can improve treatment outcomes. Magnesium is important for immune function, and low levels during chemotherapy are common. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either magnesium or a placebo, both as infusions and tablets. Neither the participants nor the doctors know who receives which treatment. The study compares the two groups to see if magnesium helps and how well it is tolerated.

ctDNA-Guided CURB for OPD mNSCLC on TKI (CURB-TKI)

This is an open-label, prospective single arm Phase II trial that investigates the role of ablative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in oncogene driven metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) patients with oligoprogressive disease (OPD) on targeted therapy (TKI) followed by circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis for tailoring targeted therapies.

Phase II Trial of Amivantamab Plus Monochemotherapy in Platinum Unfit NSCLC Patients With EGFR exon20 Insertion Mutations.

To assess safety and efficacy of amivantamab plus monochemotherapy in terms of ORR, PFS and OS in subjects with EGFR exon20 insertion mutations metastatic non-small cell lung cancer unfit for platinum-based chemotherapy.

Large Granular Lymphocytes in mNSCLC Treated With Nivolumab

Large granular lymphocytes (LGLs), which constitute 10-15% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, are large lymphocytes with a round nucleus, large cytoplasm, and azurophilic granules in the cytoplasm. Most normal LGLs in peripheral blood are natural killer (NK) cells, but some are T lymphocytes. These cells cannot be measured by a standard complete blood count (CBC) test. These cells, which can be detected by peripheral smear, are expressed numerically and as a percentage relative to other cells. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the percentage of LGLs at baseline and at three months and the response and clinical parameters in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer treated with nivolumab in second-line therapy.

Observational Lung Trial to Collect Tissue to Train and Validate a Live Tumor Diagnostic Platform

The primary objective of this study is to determine the ex-vivo prognostic accuracy of the Cybrid live tumor diagnostic platform using in-vivo RECIST 1.1 as the reference method.

Study of Inupadenant (EOS100850) With Chemotherapy as Second Line Treatment for Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The study will first determine the optimal dose of inupadenant to be given in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed to patients that progressed after receiving first line anti-PD(L)1 treatment for locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. The efficacy and safety of the combination is then compared to standard of care carboplatin and pemetrexed in the same populations.

A Study of Combining Cabozantinib and Atezolizumab for Advanced/Metastatic NSCLC (Cabatezo-1)

NSCLC patients with low expression level of PD-L1, esp. those with its level less than 1%, do not derive much benefit from anti-PD-1/L1 therapy (e.g. atezoilzumab). In this study, investigators hypothesize that the combination of cabozantinib (a multi-kinase inhibitor) and atezolizumab will result in better therapeutic value.
