Recruiting studies
- NCT06092086RecruitingPhase 2
Lorlatinib for first-line treatment of ALK-positive lung cancer

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04216121Recruiting
Testing a focused radiation approach for limited cancer spread
This trial looks at using a targeted form of radiation (LAT, often like SBRT) for people whose lung cancer has spread in only a few places while on osimertinib. It aims to control those “limited progression” spots and help you stay on the same medicine longer.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06738160RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for bone metastases from advanced lung cancer
This trial tests adding a new drug (narlumosbart) and targeted radiation to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the bones. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06517953RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two targeted pills for rare EGFR lung cancer
This study tests two oral targeted drugs, Befotertinib and Icotinib, in people with advanced lung cancer (NSCLC) that has one of three uncommon EGFR mutations. The trial aims to see how well these pills work when used as the first treatment for your cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07638891RecruitingPhase 1
HDM2020 for Advanced Squamous Lung Cancer

A new drug combination for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be removed with surgery or cured with radiation. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05991193Recruiting
Study for lung cancer with brain spread and EGFR mutation
This trial tests a treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain or spine. It is for those whose cancer has a specific EGFR mutation (19Del or L858R) and who have not yet received treatment for their advanced cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06106802RecruitingPhase 2
Testing lazertinib and tepotinib for EGFR lung cancer that progressed on lazertinib
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, lazertinib and tepotinib, for people with advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors show MET overactivity (high MET levels or MET gene copies) and have grown despite prior treatment with lazertinib. It aims to see if adding tepotinib can overcome that resistance.
Seoul, Gangnam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT06102928Recruiting
Anlotinib plus Aumolertinib for first-line treatment of advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (anlotinib and aumolertinib) as the first treatment for advanced lung cancer with a specific EGFR mutation (L858R). The goal is to see if the combination works better than standard care.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18 years+ - NCT06765109RecruitingPhase 3
Testing neladalkib for untreated ALK-positive lung cancer
This study tests a new pill called neladalkib to see if it works better than the current standard treatment (alectinib) for people with ALK-positive lung cancer who have not yet received any cancer therapy for advanced disease. It may be a good option if you have ALK-positive NSCLC and have not been treated before.
Glendale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06767514RecruitingPhase 3
Ivonescimab for first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new drug called Ivonescimab as the first treatment for people with advanced (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have high levels of PD-L1 (a protein that helps cancer hide from the immune system). The goal is to see if it can help shrink or control the cancer.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04077099RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for lung cancer with MET changes
This trial tests REGN5093, a study drug, in adults with advanced lung cancer that has a specific change called a MET alteration. If you have this MET change, the study aims to see how well the drug controls the cancer and how safe it is.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04165070RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stage IV lung cancer trial using pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy
This Phase 1/2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immune-based cancer treatment) either alone or with chemotherapy in people newly diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It looks at how well the treatments work and whether they are safe, especially in people who haven’t had treatment yet for metastatic disease.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04322578RecruitingPhase 2
Crizotinib versus standard chemotherapy for MET exon 14 lung cancer
This study compares crizotinib to standard chemotherapy for people with advanced (spread) non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific change called MET exon 14 skipping. The goal is to see which treatment works better and how safely it controls the cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05122806Recruiting
Study of cancer biology in ALK-positive advanced lung cancer
This study looks at biological changes in advanced lung cancer that has an ALK rearrangement, using regular blood samples (and sometimes tumor tissue if available). It may help researchers better understand how this cancer behaves and how it responds to first-line ALK-targeted treatment.
Saint-Denis, La RéunionAges 18 years+ - NCT05271916RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New targeted drugs for advanced lung cancer with EGFR L858R
This study tests whether taking dacomitinib plus anlotinib as a first treatment can shrink or control advanced lung cancer that has the EGFR L858R mutation. It may help people who have not had any standard drug treatment yet, especially if their brain metastases are stable.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05334277RecruitingPhase 2
Test furmonertinib for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies furmonertinib alone or with other treatment options to control advanced lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It may help by targeting the cancer-driving EGFR mutation, especially in people whose mutation is confirmed by a ctDNA blood test.
ChangchunAges 18 years+ - NCT05378334Recruiting
Test herbal treatment for lung cancer spread to bone
This trial studies whether the herbal medicine HGXJT can improve outcomes and safety for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the bones. It is designed for a specific lung cancer type (EGFR and ALK wild type) and people who have not had certain immune treatments before.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05589818RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer without key gene targets
This Phase 2 trial studies pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease can’t be treated with curative surgery or combined chemoradiation. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safely it can be given, especially for people who have not had other cancer medicines for metastatic disease.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05724004Recruiting
Alectinib then targeted radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests giving alectinib first, then adding targeted radiation to remaining spots of cancer in people with ALK-rearranged advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to control the cancer after an initial response and help keep disease from progressing.
StockholmAges 20 years+ - NCT05899608RecruitingPhase 3
Testing ivonescimab as first treatment for metastatic lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests ivonescimab as a first-line treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It may help people by improving how well the cancer responds, especially in tumors with PD-L1 activity, but you must meet specific medical and testing requirements.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06127303RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab plus cryoablation for lung cancer with limited progression
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) and a freezing treatment (cryoablation) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has started to grow again in only a few spots after initial treatment. It aims to see if this approach can help control the cancer without switching to a completely new therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06262321RecruitingPhase 2
Chest Radiation for Advanced Lung Cancer at High Risk of Symptoms
This study tests whether giving radiation to tumors in the chest soon after starting systemic therapy can help prevent symptoms like pain, trouble breathing, or bleeding. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that does not have certain gene changes and has high-risk tumors in the chest.
