Recruiting studies
- NCT05947695Recruiting

This study looks at whether a specialized nurse-led care plan soon after diagnosis/treatment helps people living with advanced (metastatic) cancer. It focuses on patients expected to do better than average based on certain prognosis factors.
West Islip, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT03964753RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo before surgery for middle-lower esophageal cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin) given before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by treating cancer earlier while it’s still in one region.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT05777278RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Savolitinib plus docetaxel for advanced lung cancer with high MET
This trial studies savolitinib (an oral MET-targeted medicine) combined with docetaxel (an IV chemotherapy) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumor has high MET activity. It’s designed to see if this combination can shrink tumors or control the cancer after the first standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06080776RecruitingPhase 3
SH-1028 vs placebo for early-stage EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a pill called SH-1028 (an EGFR-targeted drug) versus a placebo to see if it helps prevent lung cancer from coming back after surgery in people with EGFR-mutated NSCLC. You may be eligible if you had complete removal of stage II-IIIB NSCLC and your tumor has a specific EGFR mutation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05260671RecruitingPhase 2
Penpulimab plus cetuximab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial studies penpulimab (an immune medicine) combined with cetuximab (an antibody drug) for recurrent or metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or radiation.

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 10–70 - NCT06121557RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cells from lymph nodes for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a treatment using your own immune cells taken from lymph nodes near the tumor. The cells are grown in a lab and given back to you to fight cancer, along with another drug chosen by your doctor.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05344209RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus or minus vaccine for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies pembrolizumab (an immune-boosting cancer medicine) alone or with an added investigational UV1 vaccine in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Immunotherapy Plus Targeted Therapy and Chemo for Stomach Cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor), a targeted drug (fruquintinib), and chemotherapy as a first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that is HER2-negative. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help people live longer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06160596Recruiting
Understanding long-term cancer survival in hard-to-treat tumors
This study looks at why some people with hard-to-treat cancers live much longer than expected. It collects tumor samples to search for clues that might help future patients.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT05801237RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of two drugs for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests two investigational medicines (PE0116 and PE0105) in people with advanced solid cancers that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It may help shrink tumors or slow disease when standard treatments have not worked or are not tolerated.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06177015RecruitingPhase 3
Darolutamide with chemo for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a new way of using darolutamide (a hormone therapy) together with standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) and hormone therapy (ADT) for men with prostate cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if taking darolutamide on an intermittent schedule works as well as continuous treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40–80 - NCT07871864RecruitingPhase 3
Study of cabozantinib after initial treatment for osteosarcoma
This trial tests whether a new drug (called cabozantinib) can help keep osteosarcoma from coming back after initial treatment. It is for people who have completed their first round of therapy and have no sign of active cancer or only stable disease.
AarhusAges 4 years+ - NCT05872685RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative chemo plus serplulimab for specific stomach cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding serplulimab (an immune medicine) to standard chemotherapy before and/or around surgery can improve outcomes for people with certain locally advanced stomach cancer. You may get serplulimab or a placebo, and researchers will compare results to see if the immune add-on helps.

Anti-EGFR for left-sided, RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether anti-EGFR therapy works better for people with left-sided colorectal cancer that has spread, whose tumors do not have certain gene mutations (RAS wild-type). It is for those who have not yet had treatment for metastatic disease.
MoscowAges 18–99 - NCT06236789Recruiting
Ifosfamide for men with advanced prostate cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer (locally advanced or metastatic)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5,800 recruiting lung cancer (locally advanced or metastatic) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a lung cancer (locally advanced or metastatic) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a lung cancer (locally advanced or metastatic) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
