Neoadjuvant Inhaled Azacytidine With Platinum-Based Chemotherapy and Durvalumab (MEDI4736) - a Combined Epigenetic-Immunotherapy (AZA-AEGEAN) Regimen for Operable Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Surgery to remove the tumors is the standard treatment for people diagnosed with early stages of NSCLC. Despite complete removal of these tumors, many recur (happen again). An FDA-approved drug combination to treat early-stage NSCLC prior to the surgery is durvalumab plus standard chemotherapy. The FDA approved infusion drug azacytidine \[AZA\] is used to treat several diseases because it can rapidly kill dividing cells (including cancer cells) but it is not approved for NSCLC. An inhaled (aerosolized) form of AZA is also not approved for NSCLC. However, researchers want to know if an inhaled version of AZA can help improve treatment of people with NSCLC because inhaled AZA goes directly into the lungs with limited absorption into the bloodstream. Objective: To find the safest and most effective dose of inhaled AZA in participants with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can still be removed by surgery. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with operable early-stage NSCLC. Participants will be required to also enroll in NIH protocol 06C0014 which allows for pre- and post-treatment biopsies and bloodwork to be obtained for additional research studies. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. Their medical records will be reviewed. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart and lung functions. Participants will be required to have a tissue sample (biopsy) taken of their tumor prior to receiving study drug and again during surgery after Cycle 3; airway tissue biopsies and collection of collect bronchial (lung) fluid may also be done. Participants will receive the study treatment for 3 cycles. Each cycle is 21 days. They will need to come to the NIH Clinical Center (CC) on days 1-4 of Cycles 1-3. AZA will be given as a drug mist that can be inhaled (like the type of mist in an asthma inhaler) using a nebulizer at the NIH Clinical Center (CC) for 3 days in a row (consecutive days) during the first week of each cycle. The participant will inhale the AZA drug mist for 20 to 30 minutes each time. Participants will also receive durvalumab and a specific 2-drug assigned chemotherapy by intravenous (IV) infusion on day 4 of each cycle. Participants will have a follow-up visit 2 weeks after their last dose of study drugs. Then they will have planned surgery to remove the tumors. Participants will have additional follow-up visits at the NIH CC about 1 and 3 months after the surgery, and then for every 3 months for up to 3 years.

Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Rina-S in Participants With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This Phase 2 study will be conducted in different countries around the world with up to about 240 participants. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well Rina-S works against lung cancer. The treatment in this study is Rina-S monotherapy (by itself). All participants will receive active drug; no one will be given placebo. The treatment duration will be different for every participant, but an average of 12 months is expected. Participants will be asked to attend 1 to 5 visits at the study clinic for each cycle (duration of cycle is 3 weeks). If a participant's cancer stays the same or gets better, and there are not any serious problems, participants can keep getting study treatment for as long as the study is open. Participation in the study will require visits to the study site(s). During site visits, there will be various tests (such as blood draws) and procedures (such as recording of heart activity, imaging/X-rays) to monitor whether the study treatment is safe and effective.

Phase 3 Study of Taletrectinib vs Placebo as an Adjuvant Therapy in ROS1 Positive NSCLC (TRUST-IV)

The purpose of this phase 3 multicenter double-blind randomized study is to assess the use of taletrectinib in the early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study compares taletrectinib (study drug) versus placebo (sugar pill) in patients with ROS1-fusion positive stage IB, II, IIIA NSCLC. The study will evaluate if taletrectinib is better than placebo at preventing the participant's disease from coming back after the participant's lung tumor was removed.

A Study of Gilteritinib in Adults With Advanced ALK-positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Genes give your body instructions on how to make proteins. Proteins are needed to keep the body working properly. Many types of cancer are caused by changes in certain genes, making them faulty. Some people with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have a faulty ALK gene. ALK stands for anaplastic lymphoma kinase. People with NSCLC who have the faulty ALK gene are called ALK-positive. ALK inhibitors are an approved treatment for people with ALK positive NSCLC. Some people stop responding to treatment with ALK inhibitors over time due to more changes happening in their faulty ALK gene, so there is an unmet medical need. Gilteritinib is an approved treatment for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with the faulty FLT3 gene who haven't responded to previous treatment, or their cancer came back after previous treatment. Gilteritinib also blocks changes in the ALK gene which could help people with ALK-positive NSCLC. A study needs to be done with gilteritinib in people with ALK-positive NSCLC. The main aim of the study is to check the safety of gilteritinib in people with ALK-positive NSCLC and if they tolerate gilteritinib. People in this study will be adults with locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Locally advanced means the cancer has spread to nearby tissue. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. They have stopped responding to treatment with ALK inhibitors, including alectinib or lorlatinib, over time. The key reasons people cannot take part are if they have symptomatic cancers in the brain or nervous system, their cancer has spread to the thin tissue that covers the brain and spinal cord (leptomengingeal metastasis), have recently had or planning to have major surgery, have certain heart conditions, or have recently had an infection, a stroke or mini-stroke. People in the study will take tablets of gilteritinib once a day in a 28-day cycle. They may be given up to 2 different doses of gilteritinib. People in the study will start on the lower dose but can eventually switch to the higher dose if they tolerate the lower dose and meet the safety checks. Whilst taking gilteritinib, people will have regular scans of their tumors. People will continue taking gilteritinib until their cancer gets worse, they have medical problems from gilteritinib that they can't tolerate, they ask to stop taking gilteritinib, they start other cancer treatment or, sadly pass away. People will visit the clinic about 7 days and then 30 days after they stop taking gilteritinib. They will be asked about any medical problems and will have a safety check. After this, people who stopped taking gilteritinib, but their cancer hadn't become worse, will continue to have regular scans of their tumors. If their cancer does get worse, they will no longer have scans of their tumors. After finishing gilteritinib, people will be phoned every 12 weeks to check on their health. People will be in the study for up to 4 years, depending on how they respond to gilteritinib.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate sacituzumab tirumotecan versus pemetrexed in combination with carboplatin for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Participants in this study have NSCLC that has continued to progress on prior treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The primary hypotheses of this study are that sacituzumab tirumotecan is better than platinum-based doublet chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin) in regard to progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Trial Comparing Systemic Therapy Alone and With Local Ablative Treatment for Stage IV NSCL Cancer Patients

Unfortunately, most patients are already at a very advanced stage when they are diagnosed with lung cancer, i.e. the cancer has already spread outside the lungs forming metastases. The current standard of care therapy at this advanced stage of lung cancer includes systemic anti-cancer therapy such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy to boost the body's immune response, or targeted therapy that directly hinders tumor growth. In this study, the aim is to find out whether it is better if, after a good response to the standard therapy, the remains of main tumor and the metastases are additionally treated by surgery and/or radiation.

A Study to Test How BI 765063 and BI 770371 Are Taken up in Tumours of People With Different Types of Advanced Cancer Who Are Also Taking Ezabenlimab

This study is open to adults with advanced head and neck cancer, skin cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer. People can take part if previous treatments were not successful. The purpose of this study is to find out how 2 medicines called BI 765063 and BI 770371 are taken up in the tumours and how they get distributed in the body. In addition to BI 765063 or BI 770371, participants also receive ezabenlimab. BI 765063, BI 770371 and ezabenlimab are antibodies that may help the immune system fight cancer. Such therapies are also called immune checkpoint inhibitors. Participants get either BI 765063 or BI 770371 in combination with ezabenlimab as an infusion into a vein every 3 weeks. In the first weeks, doctors check how BI 765063 and BI 770371 are taken up in tumours. To do so, the doctors use imaging methods (PET/CT scans). For this, participants get BI 765063 or BI 770371 injected in a labelled form up to 2 times. Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. The doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
