This phase II/III Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial compares the effect of adding cemiplimab to docetaxel and ramucirumab versus docetaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Cemiplimab is a monoclonal antibody that stimulates the immune system by blocking the PD-1 pathway. Tumors use the PD-1 pathway to escape attacks from the immune system. By blocking the PD-1 pathway, cemiplimab may help the immune system recognize and attack tumor cells. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Adding cemiplimab to usual treatment, docetaxel and ramucirumab, may kill more tumor cells compared to docetaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy to immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) versus immunotherapy alone in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV lung cancer. 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 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 and chemotherapy may help stabilize lung cancer.

This study evaluates cancer-related weight and muscle mass loss, symptoms, and physical function (cachexia) in patients undergoing treatment for colorectal, lung, or pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or is stage IV. Patients with these cancer types are at risk for developing cancer cachexia (CC), which is defined as weight loss, muscle loss, and fat loss due to cancer. CC has been associated with reduced physical performance, impaired quality of life, and poorer survival. Many studies that have evaluated treatments for cancer-related weight and muscle loss have aimed to treat all patients with weight loss exactly the same and, unfortunately, have not been successful. Like different cancer types, weight and muscle loss related to cancer may have different causes in different individuals and the best treatment strategy for this condition may not be a one-size-fits-all approach. Information gathered from this study may help researchers develop new diagnostic criteria for CC and design better treatments and clinical trials for cancer-related weight and muscle loss in the future to improve the quality of life in patients with advanced colorectal, lung, or pancreatic cancer.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat high-risk, localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has been removed with surgery.
People with high-risk, localized NSCLC are often treated with surgery. Researchers want to learn if participants can receive 1 or 2 trial treatments to help prevent NSCLC from coming back after surgery. One trial medicine is intismeran (also called V940/mRNA-4157) and the other is subcutaneous pembrolizumab (also called SC pembrolizumab and MK-3475A). Intismeran is designed to help a person's immune system attack their specific cancer. SC pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy treatment which helps the immune system fight cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether adjuvant intismeran autogene (V940) in combination with SC pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa (MK-3475A) or intismeran monotherapy improves disease-free survival (DFS) compared with placebo in participants with completely resected high-risk Stage I NSCLC.

Research indicates that perceived stigma within medical encounters is prevalent and problematic for lung cancer patients' well-being and quality of cancer care. Promoting empathic communication appears to be a potentially effective intervention target to help reduce patients' perceptions of stigma within clinical encounters; however, no formal trainings exist that focus on teaching empathic communication to oncology care providers (OCPs). Building upon favorable findings from a prior R21 (R21CA202793) and the importance of developing interventions to address lung cancer stigma, our goal is to conduct a national trial of empathic communication skills (ECS) training to facilitate improvements in the medical and psychosocial care of patients through de-stigmatizing interactions with OCPs for patients diagnosed with lung cancer.

Eligible untreated participants with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC) who are ≥ 18 years of age will be randomized to receive ivonescimab 10 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) or ivonescimab 20 mg/kg in combination with carboplatin and etoposide.
Ivonescimab is a type of drug called a bispecific antibody. Antibodies are proteins that specifically recognize and bind to other types of proteins called antigens. Antibodies and antigens can work together to help the immune system fight cancer cells. Bispecific antibody, meaning it targets two different molecules at the same time.
Ivonescimab is a new drug that may help the immune system attack cancer cells and may also block certain pathways that cancer uses to grow and spread. This dual action of ivonescimab aims to help the immune system to fight the cancer and also disrupt tumor growth by blocking blood vessel formation that tumors use to grow.
Participants will receive induction with 4 cycles of ivonescimab (dose determined by randomization) with standard of care carboplatin and etoposide followed by maintenance therapy with ivonescimab at the same dose received during induction. Treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or participant withdrawal.
The purpose of this study is to determine what dose of ivonescimab works best in combination with carboplatin and etoposide chemotherapy in ES-SCLC. We will also examine the side effects, good and bad, associated with ivonescimab.

HCC is a common cancer worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related death. Lung cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world, and the leading cause of cancer deaths. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity when ABBV-324 is given to adult participants to treat hepatocellular cancer (HCC) or squamous-cell non-small cell lung cancer (LUSC).
ABBV-324 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of HCC and LUSC. Study doctors put the participants in groups called arms. Each arm receives ABBV-324 alone (monotherapy) or a comparator drug, lenvatinib followed by a safety follow-up period. Approximately 232 HCC or LUSC will be enrolled in the study in approximately 45 sites worldwide.
In the dose escalation stage participants will be treated with increasing intravenous (IV) doses of ABBV-324 until the dose reached is tolerable and expected to be efficacious. In the dose optimization stage participants will receive ABBV-324, or a comparator of oral lenvatinib. The study will run for a duration of approximately 6.5 years.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.
This phase III trial compares durvalumab to the usual approach (patient observation) after surgery for the treatment of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to closely watch a patient's condition after surgery and to have regular visits with their doctor to watch for signs of the cancer coming back. Usually, patients do not receive further treatment unless the cancer returns. This study will help determine whether this different approach with durvalumab is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach of observation. Giving durvalumab may help patients live longer and prevent early-stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back as compared to the usual approach.
