The goal is to see if this combination slows or stops cancer growth better than standard treatment alone.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07601412Recruiting
Understanding Immune Response to Respiratory Viruses in Older Adults
This study examines how the body's natural defense system (specifically a type of immune protein) responds to common respiratory viruses like flu and cold in older adults. Researchers will analyze nasal samples that are already being collected as part of routine care to better understand why older people sometimes have different immune responses to these infections.
LyonAges 60 years+ - NCT06962865RecruitingPhase 2

This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, RC108 and Furmonertinib, can help people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific genetic changes (EGFR mutation and MET positivity) and cannot be removed by surgery. It is for people who have not yet received treatment for their advanced or metastatic cancer.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06969612RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combo as first treatment for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three medicines (Golidocitinib, Tislelizumab, and chemotherapy) as the first treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is designed for people whose tumors have at least 1% PD-L1 and who have not had any previous treatment for advanced disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06962449Enrolling by invitation
Study of Tislelizumab as First Treatment for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study looks at how well Tislelizumab works as the first treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. It aims to understand which treatment strategies after Tislelizumab lead to the best survival outcomes for patients.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06962267RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TQB2916 with chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug (TQB2916) combined with standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) as a first treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06956001RecruitingPhase 3
Testing firmanertinib vs chemo for first-line lung cancer with specific EGFR mutations
This trial compares a new targeted therapy pill (firmanertinib) to standard chemotherapy in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have a specific EGFR mutation (PACC or L861Q). If you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer matches these mutations, this study may offer a more convenient oral option.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for first-line?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 397 recruiting first-line 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 first-line 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 first-line 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.
