Recruiting studies
- NCT06176690RecruitingPhase 1
Donor cell therapy for CD30-positive lymphomas
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy for CD30-positive lymphomas. The cells are made from donated blood and are designed to find and attack your cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 12–75 - NCT05978141Recruiting
T-cell lymphoma registry study
This study creates a registry for people with certain T-cell or NK-cell lymphomas. It collects health information and tumor samples to learn more about these diseases and improve future treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05950139RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vaccine to help stop lung cancer drug resistance
This early-phase study tests a personalized peptide vaccine designed to help prevent advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer from developing resistance to current targeted medicines. If you are stable on an ALK drug and don’t already have the specific resistance changes the vaccine targets, it may help your cancer stay controlled longer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04925609RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brigatinib for young people with ALK-positive cancer
This trial tests brigatinib, a targeted pill medicine, in children and young adults with ALK-positive cancers (including ALCL and IMT, plus some other solid tumors). It’s designed to see how well it works and what side effects it causes in people whose tumors have a specific ALK change.
ParisAges 1–25 - NCT05384626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an ALK-targeted drug for ALK-positive lung cancer
This early-stage study tests neladalkib (NVL-655), a medicine designed to attack ALK-positive cancer. It may help people with advanced ALK-mutated or ALK-rearranged solid tumors, especially ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05122806Recruiting
Study of cancer biology in ALK-positive advanced lung cancer
This study looks at biological changes in advanced lung cancer that has an ALK rearrangement, using regular blood samples (and sometimes tumor tissue if available). It may help researchers better understand how this cancer behaves and how it responds to first-line ALK-targeted treatment.
Saint-Denis, La RéunionAges 18 years+ - NCT03042221Recruiting
Early re-biopsy to find why tumors survive targeted drugs
This study takes a small tumor sample early after starting targeted treatment (or uses blood if a biopsy isn’t possible) to look for clues—called biomarkers—about why some tumor cells survive. The results may help improve how future patients’ treatments are chosen for certain lung cancer gene mutations.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT05498064Recruiting
Study of ensartinib for advanced ALK-positive lung cancer
This real-world study looks at how ensartinib works in people with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has continued or worsened after ALK-targeted therapy. It may help doctors understand how well the treatment works and who benefits most in everyday care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05241028RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant ensartinib for ALK-positive lung cancer after surgery
This trial studies whether taking ensartinib (a targeted pill) after lung cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It is for people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer has been fully removed and who have recovered from treatment.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT06061848RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Grass pollen allergy shot with vitamin D
This study tests if adding vitamin D to a new type of allergy shot (ILIT) works better than standard allergy drops for grass pollen allergy. It may help if you have moderate to severe seasonal allergy symptoms.
LundAges 18–60 - NCT04322890RecruitingPhase 2
Study for advanced lung cancer with gene mutations
This Phase 2 trial studies treatment strategies for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have certain cancer gene mutations (like EGFR, ALK, or ROS1). It aims to see how different treatments affect survival and tumor response.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07696832Recruiting
Ivonescimab as first treatment for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies ivonescimab alone as a first treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that tests positive for PD-L1 and doesn't have certain gene changes. The goal is to see if it works and is safe in everyday medical practice.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07651891RecruitingPhase 4
Dog allergy vaccine study for Swedish adults
This study tests an allergy shot (Alutard SQ Dog) for people with moderate to severe dog allergies. It aims to see how well the vaccine works in Swedish medical practices.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18–50 - NCT07415005RecruitingPhase 2
Lorlatinib and local therapy for ALK-positive lung cancer
This study combines a daily targeted pill (lorlatinib) with a short course of radiation or surgery to treat ALK-positive lung cancer. The goal is to see if this two-step approach delays the cancer from growing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07354061RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ensartinib plus chemo before surgery for ALK+ lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking the targeted therapy Ensartinib (which blocks ALK) along with standard chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink ALK-positive lung cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people who have not yet had treatment and whose cancer is at a stage that can be removed with surgery.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06221670RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab after surgery for high-risk early lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving a drug called Toripalimab after surgery can help prevent early-stage non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people whose tumors have high-risk features and PD-L1 levels of at least 1%.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07207278Recruiting
Genetics and immune study of lung signet ring cell cancer
This research study is looking at the unique genetic makeup and immune features of a rare type of lung cancer called signet ring cell carcinoma. By studying tumor samples and medical data, researchers hope to find better ways to understand and eventually treat this cancer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT07122882Enrolling by invitation
Genetic study of drug-resistant lung cancer
This trial looks at the genetic changes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has stopped responding to targeted therapy pills. It aims to understand why the cancer became resistant, which may help find better treatments.
TaoyuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07001384RecruitingPhase 1
Alectinib and Duvelisib for ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma
This trial tests two oral targeted drugs—alectinib and duvelisib—for people whose ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma has come back or not responded after at least one prior chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.

Study drug before surgery for ALK or ROS1 lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests WX-0593 given before surgery for certain types of lung cancer that have ALK or ROS1 gene changes. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer ahead of the operation and see how well the treatment works and is tolerated.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for alk?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 64 recruiting alk 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 alk 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 alk 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.
