Testing markers to predict lung inflammation after lung cancer treatment
This study looks for early “predictive markers” to tell who is most likely to develop lung inflammation after standard treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help clinicians spot problems sooner and tailor care, using additional monitoring during treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04954599RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CP-506 for hard-to-treat cancers with DNA repair defects
This Phase 1/2 study tests CP-506 in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific DNA repair problems (homologous recombination or Fanconi anemia-related defects). It may be used alone or combined with carboplatin or an immune therapy, aiming to shrink tumors or improve control when standard options are limited.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT04974671RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation for limited cancer growth on immunotherapy
This trial tests whether targeted external-beam radiation (SBRT) can control a small number of progressing kidney cancer spots while you continue immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy. It may help shrink or stop those specific “oligoprogressive” lesions and prolong benefit from your current immunotherapy.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04977791Recruiting
Study how drug resistance develops in lung cancer immunotherapy
This study looks at lung tumor tissue and blood to understand why immune checkpoint drugs can stop working in non-small cell lung cancer. It may help researchers find better ways to predict and overcome drug resistance.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05010681RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus immunotherapy after prior liver cancer treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests lenvatinib combined with the immunotherapy drug sintilimab in people with advanced liver cancer who got worse after prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment. It aims to slow cancer growth and improve outcomes after immune therapy hasn’t worked.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05055908RecruitingPhase 3
Testing immune-therapy for lung cancer and predicting response
This trial studies how well immune checkpoint medicines (with or without chemotherapy) work for lung cancer, and looks for biomarkers—tests that may help predict who benefits. It may help you access a structured treatment plan and additional response testing.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05283226RecruitingPhase 2
Oral anti-cancer pill plus paclitaxel after immunotherapy failure
This Phase 2 trial studies an oral study drug (NRC-2694-A) given with paclitaxel to treat head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back or spread after immunotherapy. It tests whether this combination is safer and works better than expected for people whose cancer progressed on immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05284539RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for mutated advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether combining platinum chemotherapy with immune “checkpoint” medicine works better for people with stage IV lung cancer that has EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 mutations. It focuses on tumors that have grown again after first-line treatment.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05455034RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Blood and lung-sample test to guide treatment for lung inflammation
This Phase 1/2 study uses detailed “single-cell” testing (from lung samples) to better understand why lung inflammation happens after cancer radiation or immunotherapy. It aims to help choose the right treatment approach for people with radiation pneumonitis or immune checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT05502913RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant plus cancer immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial studies whether giving a fecal microbiota transplant (a stool-based sample from a carefully screened donor) alongside immune checkpoint inhibitors can improve outcomes in people with lung cancer. It aims to change the gut bacteria to help the immune system work better against the cancer.
BeershebaAges 18 years+ - NCT05522660RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy or targeted therapy with focused brain radiation
This Phase 3 study tests whether immunotherapy or targeted medicine, with or without a one-time focused brain radiation procedure, can control brain metastases from melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer. It mainly enrolls people who have no (or minimal) brain symptoms and are newly diagnosed in the brain (except for certain recent brain surgery).
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT05754203Recruiting
Radiation plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether a more intensive form of targeted radiation, combined with immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors), can work better and be safe for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You may be considered if your tumor is limited in size and you’re able to receive both treatments.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05810402Recruiting
Testing immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer using blood tests
This study looks at how well immune-checkpoint therapy (a PD-1 or PD-L1 immunotherapy) works for advanced liver cancer, using “liquid biopsy” blood testing to guide or monitor care. It may help your team better track your cancer and response without needing repeated tissue biopsies.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT05834413Recruiting
Herbs plus chemo and immunotherapy to prevent lung cancer spread
This study looks at whether staged Chinese herbal medicine added to standard treatment can lower the risk of lung cancer coming back or spreading after surgery. It is for people with stage Ib to IIIb non-small cell lung cancer whose tests show no “driver gene” targets.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT05927142RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Durvalumab plus rintatolimod for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding rintatolimod to durvalumab can improve outcomes for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if this combination can better activate the immune system against the cancer after initial chemotherapy.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05937438RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

- How do I know if I qualify for a immune checkpoint inhibitor 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 immune checkpoint inhibitor 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.
