Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06122077Recruiting
Blood test for early lung cancer detection in smokers
This trial tests a blood test that looks for multiple signals to find lung cancer early. If you are a smoker or former smoker over 50, this test might help detect cancer before you have symptoms.
Hyannis, MassachusettsAges 50 years+ - NCT06239194RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MdX2001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MDX2001, for people with advanced solid tumors that have spread. The study aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06538038Recruiting
Osimertinib plus chemo vs. osimertinib alone for EGFR-mutated NSCLC
This study compares two standard treatments for advanced lung cancer with an EGFR mutation: osimertinib alone versus osimertinib plus chemotherapy. It aims to see which approach works better and is not a trial of a new drug, so you can receive usual care while contributing data.
Lowell, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07059884Recruiting
Exercise program to help people with cancer stay active
This trial tests a distance-based exercise program designed to help people on chemotherapy maintain their physical function and prevent disability. It is for patients with certain cancers who are working full-time and can participate in moderate physical activity.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07675967Recruiting
Blood Cell Changes During Cancer Treatment
This study is for people with solid tumors who are about to start chemotherapy or radiation. It looks at how these treatments affect blood cells and may help doctors understand changes in blood health over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07307157Enrolling by invitation
AI vs. pathologists: Which diagnoses cancer better?
This study tests a new AI system called COSMO against pathologists to see which is better at diagnosing cancer from digital slides. If you are an experienced pathologist, you will review slides independently, and your results will be compared with the AI's.

What taking part in a lung cancer (diagnosis) study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
