This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy (carbon ion boost) to people with advanced, inoperable lung cancer. The goal is to see if targeting the most aggressive parts of the tumor with a higher dose can improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06928389RecruitingPhase 3
Ivonescimab plus docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called ivonescimab combined with a chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people who have already tried platinum-based chemo and a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, and who have not had docetaxel before.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06903377RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ZG005 plus Gecacitinib for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, ZG005 and Gecacitinib, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink or slow the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06908993RecruitingPhase 3

Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06623136RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new combo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (ES102) combined with an immunotherapy (Toripalimab) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. It may help those whose tumors have high PD-L1 levels.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06449313RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery for stage 3 disease
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery can help shrink stage 3 lung cancer and improve outcomes. The goal is to make the tumor easier to remove and possibly lower the chance of it coming back.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06222489RecruitingPhase 2
HER3 PET scan for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to measure a protein called HER3 in your tumors. The scan uses a radioactive version of the drug patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd). This test may help doctors understand how much HER3 is in your cancer and decide if HER3-targeted therapy could work for you.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT04980716RecruitingPhase 3
Heart-based early intervention for stage III lung cancer using heart signals
This trial tests an early heart-focused intervention guided by a special heart recording (impedance cardiography) in people with locally advanced, unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to improve heart-related safety during planned radiation and chemotherapy, with or without immunotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05920356RecruitingPhase 3
Tested KRAS-targeted sotorasib plus chemo vs pembrolizumab plus chemo
This Phase 3 trial tests whether sotorasib plus standard chemotherapy works better than pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) plus standard chemotherapy as first treatment for certain advanced lung cancers. It may help people whose tumors have a KRAS G12C mutation and that do not show PD-L1 on testing.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT05751018RecruitingPhase 2
Pyrotinib for first treatment of HER2-mutated lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies pyrotinib as a first (initial) anti-cancer treatment for advanced lung cancer that has specific HER2 changes. It aims to shrink tumors and control the cancer, especially in people whose test results show HER2 insertion mutation, point mutation, or amplification.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05701176Recruiting
Imaging scan to see how anti–PD-1 changes lung cancer cells
This study uses special PET imaging to measure changes in a marker ([18F]F-AraG) in non-small cell lung cancer after starting anti–PD-1 treatment. It aims to learn whether these scan changes reflect how the cancer responds.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05613413RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance cabozantinib plus pembrolizumab after lung cancer control
This trial tests whether continuing treatment with cabozantinib plus pembrolizumab after your metastatic squamous lung cancer responds (or is stable) can help people live longer and stay in control. It may be an option if your cancer has already shown it can respond to initial (first-line) treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05363319Recruiting
Cemiplimab study in adults with advanced lung cancer
This observational study looks at how well cemiplimab works and how safe it is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer in everyday care in Europe. It mainly follows patients already prescribed cemiplimab, and asks them to complete questionnaires.
Klagenfurt, CarinthiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05142189RecruitingPhase 1
Testing BNT116 for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental immunotherapy called BNT116, given alone or with other drugs, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help shrink tumors.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06422143RecruitingPhase 3
Keytruda with or without Sac-TMT for advanced squamous lung cancer
This trial tests the combination of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with or without a new drug, sacituzumab tirumotecan (Sac-TMT), as initial treatment for advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if adding Sac-TMT after initial treatment helps keep cancer under control longer.

Study of FeNO as a marker for immunotherapy response in lung cancer
This trial is testing whether a simple breath test (FeNO) can predict how well immunotherapy works in people with advanced lung cancer who haven't had treatment before. It's for patients whose tumors have high PD-L1 levels and who will receive immunotherapy alone.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04999761RecruitingPhase 1
Study testing new drug combinations for advanced cancers
This study tests new drug combinations for people with various advanced cancers that have progressed after standard treatment, or in some cases, as a first treatment. It aims to see if these combinations are safe and effective. The study is divided into groups based on cancer type and treatment history, so not everyone will qualify for every group.

Ivonescimab with or without chemo for advanced NSCLC
This study tests a new drug, ivonescimab, alone or with chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed), for people with advanced lung cancer that has specific gene changes and has already been treated with targeted therapy. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03742687Recruiting
Testing a shorter, stronger radiation schedule for lung cancer
This trial studies a different way to deliver radiation to people with locally advanced, non-operable non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by aiming to treat the tumor effectively with a different radiation timing and dose pattern.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05401110RecruitingPhase 1
Osimertinib plus antibody treatment for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests the combination of osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) with an antibody called carotuximab to treat advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see whether adding the antibody can help when the cancer has grown despite prior EGFR-targeted therapy.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03093688RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an immune-cell infusion for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding special immune cells (iNKT cells and CD8+ T cells) given by IV infusion can help treat advanced cancers. It mainly looks at safety first, and also checks whether the treatment can shrink or control cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07116057RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for FRa-positive cancers
This trial tests a new treatment called MOv19-BBz CAR T cells, which are specially designed immune cells that target a protein called FRa found on some cancer cells. It's for people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the lung (malignant pleural effusion) and who have already tried at least one standard treatment.

- How do I know if I qualify for a advanced or metastatic non-small cell 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 or metastatic non-small cell 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.
