Lung Cancer (Diagnosis) clinical trials in Pennsylvania
We’re tracking 83 recruiting lung cancer (diagnosis) studies with a site in Pennsylvania — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2, Phase 2/Phase 3 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT06179069RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ZL-1310 for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called ZL-1310, alone or with other treatments, for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread (extensive-stage). It aims to see if ZL-1310 can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06706076RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Experimental pill for lung cancer with EGFR or HER2 changes
This study tests an experimental pill that targets cancer cells with certain gene changes (EGFR or HER2). It may help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06216301RecruitingPhase 3
Electric fields with immunotherapy and chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests adding a device that delivers electric fields (Tumor Treating Fields) to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has not been treated before. It may help slow tumor growth.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06171750RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ANK-101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ANK-101, injected directly into tumors to help fight advanced solid tumors that have spread or can't be treated with standard therapies. It may be an option if you have a tumor that can be reached for injection.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05669846RecruitingPhase 2
FMT plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer after prior treatment
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) to pembrolizumab can help people with advanced, PD-L1–positive non-small cell lung cancer that has returned or progressed after anti–PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. You may be asked to give new tumor tissue and undergo gut procedures, because the study aims to change gut bacteria to boost the immune response.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05317858RecruitingPhase 3
Open the brain’s blood barrier to treat lung cancer brain spots
This trial tests whether using focused ultrasound to temporarily open the brain’s blood barrier—plus standard immune therapy—can better treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. It aims to help medicines reach the brain tumor spots more effectively, while still using the usual lung cancer treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT05236114Recruiting
Study of blood and tumor tests for lung cancer treatment
This study looks at how tumor and blood biomarker results can guide treatment for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Depending on the cancer stage, it may follow standard-of-care treatment plans around surgery or first-line immunotherapy.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04949464Recruiting
Smoking quit coaching plus lung scans for people with HIV
This study tests a behavior-change program to help people with HIV quit smoking, along with routine low-dose lung CT scans to find warning signs early. It’s a feasibility study, meaning the main goal is to see if the approach is practical and acceptable, and if people can follow through.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 45–80 - NCT04317534RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab after lung cancer surgery versus observation
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) given after complete surgery can lower the chance that early-stage lung cancer comes back. You’ll be compared to standard follow-up without extra treatment to see if the drug helps more people stay cancer-free.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07578116RecruitingPhase 3
Adding surgery and radiation for her2-positive breast cancer with a few spread spots
This trial tests whether adding surgery and radiation to the usual HER2-targeted treatment helps people with breast cancer that has spread to a few spots. You must have HER2-positive cancer that is newly spread, and you must be able to receive radiation to all tumor sites.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05058651RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Atezolizumab plus chemo for advanced neuroendocrine cancer outside the lung
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug called atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy helps people with advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (a rare and aggressive cancer) that started outside the lung. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Chambersburg, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+

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.

Common questions
- Are there lung cancer (diagnosis) clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 83 recruiting lung cancer (diagnosis) studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a lung cancer (diagnosis) study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a lung cancer (diagnosis) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New lung cancer (diagnosis) studies open in Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
