Recruiting studies
- NCT07007364RecruitingPhase 2
Testing low-dose radiation with immunotherapy and chemo for early oral cancer
This trial tests if combining a low dose of radiation with an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) and a chemotherapy drug (albumin-bound paclitaxel) before surgery can help treat early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07008742Recruiting
Blood and tissue collection study for certain lung cancers
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) either before or after treatment. It aims to help researchers learn more about how tumors respond, especially in cancers with specific genetic changes or after certain pre-surgery therapies.
London, United KingdomAges 18 years+ - NCT06781281Recruiting
Chemo plus immunotherapy for early HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests adding an immunotherapy drug (serplulimab) to standard chemotherapy for early-stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemo alone before surgery.
ZhengzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06572540Recruiting
Cryoablation for early-stage lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to freeze and destroy small lung tumors: through the chest wall or through the airways. It’s for people with early-stage lung cancer who are not able or willing to have surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06743581Recruiting
Cemiplimab and dupilumab before lung cancer surgery
This study tests two drugs, cemiplimab and dupilumab, given before surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06699979Recruiting
Early lung cancer study with multiple tumors or cysts
This study looks at the genes and molecules of early-stage lung cancer in two groups: people with more than one lung tumor at the same time, and people whose lung cancer is tied to air-filled spaces (cysts) seen on a CT scan. The goal is to better understand these types of lung cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06483698Recruiting
Tracking recovery after early lung cancer surgery
This study follows people with stage I lung cancer to see how they do after surgery. It aims to learn what affects recovery and long-term outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06566443RecruitingPhase 1
Honokiol for early-stage lung cancer before surgery
This trial tests a natural compound called honokiol in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who are scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see if honokiol can help shrink or control the tumor before it is removed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06542159RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive radiation for early-stage lung cancer or small metastases
This trial tests a more precise radiation technique (stereotactic body radiotherapy) for early-stage lung cancer or small lung tumors. It aims to reduce side effects by eliminating the usual safety margin around the tumor.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06493019RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab with chemo and radiation for early anal cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel), and radiation for people with early-stage anal cancer who cannot take the usual chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective as an alternative treatment.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06284317RecruitingPhase 3
Durvalumab after chemo and surgery for early lung cancer
This trial tests adding durvalumab (an immunotherapy) after chemotherapy, surgery, and more durvalumab for people with early-stage, operable non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this extra treatment helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 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+ - NCT06088771RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of dupilumab and cemiplimab before lung cancer surgery
This study tests two drugs, dupilumab and cemiplimab, given before surgery for early-stage lung cancer. The goal is to see if these immune-boosting medicines can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04553770RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab deruxtecan with or without anastrozole for early breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether trastuzumab deruxtecan alone or combined with anastrozole can control early-stage breast cancer that is HER2-low and hormone-receptor positive. It aims to improve outcomes after initial surgical treatment by targeting cancer cells that may have low levels of HER2.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05559164RecruitingPhase 2
Statins to protect the heart during HER2 breast cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a cholesterol medicine (a statin) can lower the risk of heart damage in people receiving HER2-targeted breast cancer therapy. If you qualify, you may be given a statin and followed with heart tests and blood work to watch for safety and benefit.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 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.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 20 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+ - 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+ - NCT07788729Recruiting

This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (Furmonertinib and Avastin) as the very first treatment for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutant non-small cell) that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see how well it works and how safe it is.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 15–75 - NCT04253964RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for early-stage lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 78 recruiting early-stage 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-stage 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-stage 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.
