Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT06498635RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after surgery for lung cancer with no remaining cancer
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (durvalumab) after surgery can help prevent lung cancer from coming back if you already had a complete response to chemo and immunotherapy before surgery. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who had no cancer left after treatment.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06424327Recruiting
Lung cancer surgery registry
This study collects information from people having surgery to remove a small part of the lung (segmentectomy) for early-stage lung cancer. It helps doctors learn more about this surgery and its outcomes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06793215RecruitingPhase 3
Divarasib plus pembrolizumab for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted drug (divarasib) combined with an immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) versus standard chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation. It aims to see if the new combination works better and is safe.
Bethlehem, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 40–75 - NCT04181060RecruitingPhase 3
Osimertinib alone or with bevacizumab for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting osimertinib with or without bevacizumab helps people with advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. Your EGFR mutation test result and past treatments are key to whether you can join.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04267848RecruitingPhase 3
Testing immunotherapy with chemo after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy medicine to standard chemotherapy after surgery can improve outcomes for some people with non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07124000Recruiting
T-DXd for advanced HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial is for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It tests the drug T-DXd (also called Enhertu) when your doctor has already decided it's the right treatment for you and you have no other good options.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–130 - NCT07168993Recruiting
Testing a new sputum test for lung cancer in high-risk adults
This study tests a new, non-invasive sputum test (FlowPath Lung) to see if it can accurately detect lung cancer in people at high risk who have a lung nodule. If you are between 50 and 80, have a smoking history, and have a lung nodule, this test may help decide if further steps are needed.
DuBois, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT03556228RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested medicine for tumors with TrkA changes, alone or with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests VMD-928, a targeted cancer medicine, for cancers that have TrkA-related tumor changes. It may be given by itself or with pembrolizumab to see if it can shrink tumors when standard treatments have not worked.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for TP53 Y220C-mutated advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests PC14586 (rezatapopt) in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that carry a specific TP53 mutation called Y220C. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment may work, sometimes combined with pembrolizumab.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05198830RecruitingPhase 2
Adding TRC102 to standard chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding TRC102 to standard chemotherapy plus radiation can improve outcomes for people with stage III non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer. It is designed for newly staged patients and aims to help the immune system work better while treating the tumor.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05502523Recruiting
Blood test DNA levels after lung surgery
This study looks at how different lung surgical techniques affect levels of tumor DNA in the blood before and after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It may help doctors choose surgical approaches and use a blood test to monitor cancer after surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Gettysburg, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05657873RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for metastatic lung cancer with liver spread
This trial studies whether adding targeted radiation to the liver (small-area, high-precision radiation) can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Participants also start standard “anti–PD-1/PD-L1” immunotherapy (with chemotherapy in some cases).
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Wyomissing, PennsylvaniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06228326RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of KB707 for advanced cancers affecting the lungs
This trial tests a new medicine called KB707 for people with advanced cancers that affect the lungs. It uses a virus to deliver a gene that may help your immune system fight the tumor. The study is especially looking at people with lung cancer (NSCLC) or other solid tumors that have spread to the lungs and haven't responded to standard treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Willow Grove, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07102147Recruiting
Telehealth Therapy for Lung Cancer Patients at Penn Medicine
This trial offers therapy sessions (via phone or video) for people with lung cancer who are dealing with depression, anxiety, or other emotional concerns. It's part of Penn Medicine's collaborative care program and aims to make mental health support easier to access while you are being treated for lung cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07059884Recruiting

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.
