Recruiting studies
- NCT05715229RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test–guided treatment choice for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests how results from blood cancer DNA tests (ctDNA) can help choose the best immune therapy approach for newly diagnosed, advanced lung cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by matching treatment decisions to a patient’s immune and blood test “profile.”
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06475937RecruitingPhase 1
DM001 for advanced solid tumors study
This study tests an experimental drug called DM001 for people with certain advanced cancers (breast, lung, stomach, gastroesophageal, or colorectal) that have not responded to or are not helped by standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how it affects the tumors.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07577206RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New PET Scan Tracer for Advanced Solid Cancers
This early-stage trial tests a new radioactive tracer called [68Ga]Ga-R54 that helps doctors see certain advanced cancers (like breast, lung, colon, ovary, pancreas, or multiple myeloma) on PET scans. The tracer targets a specific protein (CXCR4) found on cancer cells, which may help doctors better detect and understand your cancer.
Naples, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05691491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide plus M1774 for advanced metastatic cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of temozolomide and M1774 to see how safe it is and whether it can help shrink advanced cancers that have spread. It focuses on certain tumor types and specific biomarker results, and it may be an option if standard treatments have been tried or aren’t possible.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05832827RecruitingPhase 2
First treatment combo for thymic cancer using pembrolizumab plus drugs
This Phase 2 study tests a first (initial) treatment combination of pembrolizumab with three other drugs (carboplatin, paclitaxel, and lenvatinib) for advanced or recurrent thymic carcinoma.

Pembrolizumab for advanced skin sarcomas (not angiosarcoma)
This trial is testing a drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced soft tissue sarcomas that started in the skin. The goal is to see if this immunotherapy can help shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03046316Recruiting
Local treatment for advanced lung cancer that hasn’t worsened
This trial looks at whether using focused treatments (like surgery or radiation to lung cancer spots) can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease has not progressed after first-line treatment. It’s meant for people who have limited metastatic spots and can safely undergo the local treatment.
Guangzhou, GuagndongAges 18 years+ - NCT05628922RecruitingPhase 2
Blood EBV DNA–guided therapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a treatment approach for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer using their blood EBV DNA level (a cancer-related virus marker). It may help doctors choose and adjust therapy based on how much of this marker is in your blood after standard treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07314216RecruitingPhase 2
Firmonertinib plus radiation for stage III lung cancer with rare EGFR mutations
This trial tests whether combining the targeted pill firmonertinib with radiation therapy can help people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that has certain rare EGFR mutations. It is for those whose cancer cannot be removed by surgery.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05039632RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation with anti-PD-1 for advanced lung or liver cancers
This study tests whether adding NBTXR3 (given into a tumor) and targeted radiation to anti–PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy can improve cancer control in advanced cancers that have spread to the lung and/or liver. Participants may be assigned to different radiation approaches to try to trigger tumor shrinkage in both treated and nearby or distant tumor areas.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06093061RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—tislelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and capecitabine (a chemo pill taken daily)—as maintenance therapy after initial chemotherapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can lower the chance of cancer coming back.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,308 recruiting advanced lung cancer studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a advanced lung cancer trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a advanced lung cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
