Recruiting studies
- NCT06498635RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after surgery for lung cancer with no remaining cancer
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (durvalumab) after surgery can help prevent lung cancer from coming back if you already had a complete response to chemo and immunotherapy before surgery. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who had no cancer left after treatment.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03546829RecruitingPhase 1
Testing targeted radiation plus short anti-microbial treatment
This early safety study tests a combination of focused radiation and a targeted anti-microbial (antibiotic/antifungal/antiviral/anti-parasite) plan for certain lung cancer that is starting to progress in a few spots. It aims to see whether this approach is safe and helps control the small areas of progressing cancer after prior treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06582771RecruitingPhase 2
Testing sotorasib for untreated lung cancer with KRAS G12C mutation
This trial tests an oral targeted drug called sotorasib for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (KRAS G12C mutation) who have not had any prior treatment for their advanced disease. It aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors and help patients without using standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy first.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06638554Recruiting
Using video visits to help people get screened for lung cancer
This trial tests whether telehealth (video visits) can help more people get screened for lung cancer. It may be a good fit if you are between 50 and 80, have a history of smoking, and have not had a lung cancer screening in the last two years.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 40–75 - NCT07489066RecruitingPhase 2
Study of PF-08634404 for early-stage or locally advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, PF-08634404, alone or with other treatments, for people with early-stage or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be surgically removed or has been treated with radiation and chemo. It aims to find if the drug helps before or after surgery or after standard treatments.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07017829RecruitingPhase 2
GT103 plus pembrolizumab for STK11 mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called GT103 combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific genetic change (STK11 mutation) and has continued to grow despite prior pembrolizumab treatment. The goal is to see if adding GT103 can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07253142RecruitingPhase 2
Study of HLX43 with Serplulimab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs for people with advanced lung cancer that has worsened after previous treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT03706027Recruiting
Compare two radiation timing plans for early lung cancer
This trial tests whether two different schedules (timing) of radiation have different side effects in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It may help reduce or better understand treatment toxicity while still treating the cancer.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03563976Recruiting
Imaging study for lung cancer outcomes
This study looks at medical images from people with lung cancer to see how image findings relate to outcomes. It may help doctors better understand which imaging features predict results for patients.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT04354064Recruiting
Blood DNA test to see early treatment response in solid tumors
This study looks at circulating tumor DNA, which is tiny bits of DNA found in blood, to help assess how solid tumors are responding early. It uses blood samples from healthy adults who are willing to donate.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04506359Recruiting
Computer-assisted clinic support after early lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a computer-assisted program that helps people with early lung cancer after tumor-removal surgery, during regular clinic visits. It may help with care planning and support tailored to you. The study is only for people who meet specific safety and language requirements.
TaipeiAges Any age - NCT04790253Recruiting
Check brain radiation timing or frequent MRI scans for SCLC
This study compares two ways to follow and treat small-cell lung cancer in the brain: preventive brain radiation versus close monitoring with MRI scans and treatment only if needed. It may help people avoid unnecessary brain treatment or choose the safer timing strategy.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT04814407Recruiting
Test blood and other markers to detect early lung cancer
This study looks for new “epigenetic” signals in blood (signals about how genes are turned on/off) to help detect lung cancer early. You might be able to join if you are being evaluated for possible lung cancer or have small, unclear spots on a lung CT scan.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05142033Recruiting
Cancer or precancer testing using DNA sequencing results
This trial helps doctors study and analyze cancer- or precancer-related DNA information. If you’re 18 or older and can consent, your results may help researchers understand the biology of your condition and guide future care.
Marshall, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05292521Recruiting
Quality-of-life program to help early lung cancer decisions
This trial tests a quality-of-life support program meant to help people with early-stage lung cancer think through their treatment choices. It may help you feel more informed and more confident about deciding between treatments like surgery and SBRT.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT05375591Recruiting
AI study to sort lung nodules after past cancer treatment
This study uses computer tools (AI) and detailed scan patterns to better classify new lung nodules in people who previously had curative-intent cancer treatment. It may help doctors decide whether a nodule is likely benign or cancer, using your CT scan and related medical history.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05432739Recruiting
Test a lung nodule blood/scan marker to find early cancer
This study looks at whether a new test can better identify early lung cancer in people who are being watched for an incidental lung nodule. It may help doctors decide which nodules need closer follow-up or treatment.
Goodmayes, EssexAges 18 years+ - NCT05477979Recruiting
Study how stress affects lung cancer treatment outcomes
This study looks at whether psychological stress changes how well lung cancer treatments work and what the outlook is. You may qualify if you’re about to start (or recently started) certain immunotherapy-based treatments, and you can complete stress and well-being questionnaires.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05502523Recruiting
Blood test DNA levels after lung surgery
This study looks at how different lung surgical techniques affect levels of tumor DNA in the blood before and after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It may help doctors choose surgical approaches and use a blood test to monitor cancer after surgery.
Abington, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05557474Recruiting
Test of a lung cancer prognosis kit after early tumor removal
This study tests a lab “prognosis kit” to better predict how early-stage lung cancer may progress after the tumor has been fully removed. You may be asked to provide tumor samples and possibly blood/body fluid samples so researchers can validate the kit.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for early lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 203 recruiting early 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 early 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 early 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.
