A Randomized Phase III Trial of Checkpoint blockade in Lung cancEr patients in the Adjuvant setting based on pathologic Response following neoadjuvant therapy (CLEAR)

Keywords
Cancer/Lung
Summary

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding AZD6738 to durvalumab versus durvalumab alone to increase time without cancer in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, following treatment with chemotherapy and surgery. AZD6738 may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Durvalumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Adding AZD6738 to durvalumab may increase time without cancer in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, following treatment with chemotherapy and surgery.

Accelerated High-Dose tDCS for Depression: An Open-Label Outpatient Pilot Study

Date Added
October 7th, 2025
PRO Number
Pro00146983
Researcher
Clayton Olash

List of Studies

Keywords
Depression, Nervous System
Summary

In this study, we are testing whether a higher dose of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can be safely used in people with depression. Participants will come to the Brain Stimulation Lab and receive mild electrical stimulation through electrodes placed on their scalp.

The study begins with a safety run-in, where the first few participants will receive stimulation at gradually increasing levels (2, 4, and 6 milliamps) while being closely monitored. If no serious side effects are found, later participants will receive repeated 6 milliamp sessions for 5 days total. We will check skin comfort, mood, and overall tolerability after each session.
