The main objective of this study is to develop baseline "normal" reference values of both lung and heart function for healthy adults within the age range relevant to the United States Veteran population who served in the Southwest Asia theater of military operations. This study will involve performing key components …
This is a multicenter, open-label, phase II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, clinical activity, and pharmacokinetics of ILKN421H in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. The study consists of 4 cohorts in participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC ( squamous \[sq\] or non-squamous …
Vaping is increasingly popular with both adolescent and adult Canadians, but the long-term health impacts remain unknown. We believe that the tools we currently have to detect lung disease in people who vape may be insufficient and propose new ways to find lung injuries that may impact them over the …
Radiotherapy (radiation treatment) is often used to treat lung cancers and lung tumors that have spread from other cancers. It can be very effective, especially in early-stage lung cancer or when there are only a few tumor sites. Even so, some patients later develop a local recurrence, meaning the cancer …
