Recruiting studies
- NCT06479473RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

This trial is for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. After standard chemo-immunotherapy, it tests whether giving radiation to all remaining tumor spots can improve outcomes.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06480864Recruiting
Study of adebelimumab and apatinib for extensive stage small cell lung cancer maintenance
This trial tests whether adding two targeted therapies (adebelimumab, an immunotherapy, and apatinib, a drug that blocks blood vessel growth) after initial chemotherapy can help keep extensive stage small cell lung cancer under control. It is for people who have not yet had systemic treatment for their cancer and are in good enough health to try this maintenance approach.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT06481566Recruiting
Almonertinib plus radiation for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests combining a targeted pill (almonertinib) with precise radiation to the lung for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the pill alone.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06485544RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests adding a drug called adebrelimab (a type of immunotherapy) before surgery for people with early-stage small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.

Study of IDE849 for DLL3-positive cancers like SCLC
This trial tests a new drug called IDE849 for cancers that make a protein called DLL3, including small cell lung cancer and some neuroendocrine tumors. It is for people whose cancer has progressed after standard treatments, and may be given alone or combined with other drugs like durvalumab or IDE161.

Comparing targeted pills for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This study tests three different targeted pills (osimertinib, afatinib, dacomitinib) in people with advanced EGFR-mutated lung cancer who haven't had targeted therapy before. The goal is to find which pill works best and has the fewest side effects.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT06492421RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving two immunotherapy drugs directly into the tumor before surgery can shrink non-small cell lung cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people with early-stage (IIIA) lung cancer who are candidates for surgery.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06495125RecruitingPhase 2
Study of three drugs for a type of advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (defactinib and avutometinib) plus an immunotherapy (nivolumab) for people with advanced lung adenocarcinoma that has a specific gene mutation (LKB1) and has stopped responding to prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06496048RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lurbinectedin for small cell lung cancer that has returned
This trial compares a new drug combination (lurbinectedin with or without irinotecan) against the standard treatment (topotecan) for people whose small cell lung cancer has come back after initial chemotherapy. It aims to see if the new options work better.
Jilin CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06497530RecruitingPhase 2
Lurbinectedin with serplulimab for extensive-stage SCLC maintenance
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, lurbinectedin and serplulimab, as maintenance therapy after initial chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that hasn't spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this approach helps keep the cancer from growing for longer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06500481RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs standard radiation for cancer spread to brain/spine lining
This trial compares a newer type of radiation (proton therapy) to standard radiation for people whose breast or lung cancer has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It aims to see if proton therapy can better control the disease while causing fewer side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06505824RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-M14D1 for advanced lung cancer and other solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, BL-M14D1, for people with advanced small cell lung cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, or other solid tumors that have no standard treatment. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and possibly effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06514118Recruiting
Immunotherapy with radiation for advanced small-cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation for people with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding radiation to leftover tumors after initial treatment helps control the disease better.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06523673RecruitingPhase 3
SBRT for lung cancer with limited new growth
This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation called SBRT can control lung cancer that has started to grow in only a few new spots while you are on standard treatments. It may help you delay changing to a different treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06524427Recruiting
Robot vs. video-assisted lung cancer surgery study
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery to video-assisted surgery for removing lung cancer. It aims to see which approach works better for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06527898RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Short-course radiation plus immunotherapy for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer
This study tests using a shorter course of radiation (hypofractionated radiotherapy) combined with immunotherapy for people with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach works better at controlling the cancer and may cause fewer side effects.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06528847RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant Benmelstobart for stage IB, grade 3 lung adenocarcinoma
This trial tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug Benmelstobart after surgery can help prevent return of a specific type of lung cancer. It is for people with stage IB, grade 3 (poorly differentiated) lung adenocarcinoma that has been completely removed.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT06534489Recruiting
Surgery for lung cancer after chemo or targeted therapy
This trial tests whether combining chemo or targeted therapy before surgery can help people with non-small cell lung cancer that may require removing a whole lung. We want to see if this approach makes the surgery safer and more effective.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06536868RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab with chemo and radiation for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) with chemotherapy and chest radiation for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has spread. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink or control the cancer longer.

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+ - NCT06545747RecruitingPhase 3
MRI-guided radiation for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy for advanced lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It uses MRI scans to guide and adjust the radiation dose, which may help target the tumor more precisely and reduce side effects.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06554613RecruitingPhase 2
Olanzapine with first-line immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer trial
