Depending on the stage of your cancer, you may receive it before or after surgery, or along with chemotherapy and radiation.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06616584RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cemiplimab plus standard care for advanced lung cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab to standard treatment can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already progressed after both platinum chemo and a prior immunotherapy. It is designed for those who responded to their first immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks before the cancer started growing again.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 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.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05920356RecruitingPhase 3
Tested KRAS-targeted sotorasib plus chemo vs pembrolizumab plus chemo
This Phase 3 trial tests whether sotorasib plus standard chemotherapy works better than pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) plus standard chemotherapy as first treatment for certain advanced lung cancers. It may help people whose tumors have a KRAS G12C mutation and that do not show PD-L1 on testing.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06472245RecruitingPhase 3
Cancer vaccine for lung cancer that stopped responding to immunotherapy
This trial tests a therapeutic cancer vaccine called OSE2101 for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors stopped responding to an immunotherapy drug. The vaccine is designed to help your immune system fight the cancer in a different way.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06452277RecruitingPhase 3
Testing sevabertinib for advanced HER2-mutated lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted drug called sevabertinib against standard chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific HER2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if sevabertinib works better and is safe.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05642572RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug combinations for EGFR- and MET-changed lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests combinations of targeted medicines to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has changes in both EGFR and MET genes. It is for people whose cancer continued to grow even after treatment with osimertinib, the most recent therapy.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06170788RecruitingPhase 3
New Two-Drug Immunotherapy Combo vs. Standard Immunotherapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study compares a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab) versus pembrolizumab alone for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a high PD-L1 level (≥50%) and has not been treated yet. The goal is to see if the combination works better than the standard single immunotherapy.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06031688RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for lung cancer with a MET gene change
This trial tests a targeted drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called MET exon 14 skipping. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth, and may help people who have or haven't had prior treatment.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 minutes+ - 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.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04933903RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant low-dose radiation plus immunotherapy before lung surgery
This trial tests whether giving low-dose focused radiation and two immunotherapy drugs before lung surgery can improve outcomes for people with operable, resectable non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer before surgery and help reduce the chance it comes back.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06465329RecruitingPhase 2
Study of drug combinations for operable lung cancer
This trial tests different combinations of the immunotherapy cemiplimab and chemotherapy for people with stage II to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if adding other treatments helps more than the standard approach.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06996782RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung cancer study testing new combination treatments
This study tests a new drug (rilvegostomig) alone or with chemotherapy or another drug (ramucirumab) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. It aims to see if these combinations work better than standard treatments.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06627647RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two immunotherapy drugs for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug, rilvegostomig, against the standard pembrolizumab, both given with chemotherapy, as a first treatment for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be cured with surgery or radiation. It is for people whose tumors have high PD-L1 levels and do not have certain genetic mutations.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT04680377Recruiting
Using gut microbes to predict durvalumab side effects in lung cancer
This study looks at the microbiome (the tiny organisms in your gut) to try to predict who will get side effects from durvalumab after chemoradiation. If you join, your care team will use your microbiome results to help understand toxicity risk and improve future treatment planning.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06362369RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral 7HP349 with immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental oral drug (7HP349) combined with two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) for people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective in shrinking tumors.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 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.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18–100 - NCT06758401RecruitingPhase 3
Sigvotatug vedotin plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new combination of two study medicines for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has high levels of PD-L1 protein. The goal is to see if adding sigvotatug vedotin to pembrolizumab works better than pembrolizumab alone.

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.
