Cadonilimab plus chemo for PD-L1 negative lung cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy as a first treatment for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that does not have the PD-L1 protein. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05841472RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer without EGFR or ALK
This Phase 2 trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab, combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin, can work better as first treatment for advanced lung cancer that has no EGFR or ALK gene changes. You may be able to join if you have measurable disease, good enough organ function, and meet other safety rules for immune treatment.
AnamAges 19–80 - NCT04728724RecruitingPhase 2
Check immune treatment before surgery for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests an “immunotherapy” medicine given before surgery for stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to shrink the cancer and make curative surgery more successful while monitoring safety and response.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 460 recruiting limited stage small cell 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 limited stage small cell 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 limited stage small cell 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.
