Recruiting studies
- NCT06568939RecruitingPhase 2
Study of telisotuzumab vedotin for non-squamous lung cancer
This trial tests a drug called telisotuzumab vedotin (ABBV-399) given through a vein to people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer) that has a high level of a protein called c-Met. The study aims to see how the drug affects the body and helps control the cancer.

Adagrasib for KRAS G12C lung cancer, alone or with pembrolizumab
This trial studies adagrasib (an anti-cancer drug) either alone or with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) in people with advanced lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes, including for people without urgent brain treatment needs.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04302025RecruitingPhase 2
Testing targeted and immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery
This trial studies whether giving different cancer medicines before (and sometimes after) surgery improves outcomes for people with early-stage, operable lung cancer that has certain tumor markers. It may help by trying to shrink or control the cancer early and lower the chance it comes back.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01786590Recruiting
Ultrasound biopsy to stage lung cancer before SBRT
This trial looks at using a scope with an ultrasound tip (EBUS-TBNA) to take small tissue samples from lymph nodes to figure out the cancer stage before stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The goal is to help confirm how far the cancer has spread so SBRT can be planned appropriately.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06413212Recruiting
Personalized drug test for advanced cancer with fluid buildup
This trial uses a special test on your cancer cells to find which chemotherapy might work best for you. The aim is to treat advanced cancer that has caused fluid buildup in the chest or abdomen.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05882058RecruitingPhase 2
Dose test of a DLL3 cancer drug for neuroendocrine tumors
This Phase 2 study tests how different doses of BI 764532 affect people with small cell lung cancer or certain other neuroendocrine cancers. It may help shrink tumors and improve symptoms after standard treatments have stopped working.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07565532Recruiting
Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment Study With Radiation
This study follows patients with small cell lung cancer who receive radiation therapy combined with other treatments. Researchers will track how well the treatment works and how patients respond over time to help improve future care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06555588Recruiting

This study tests a supportive talk therapy program (called Engage) delivered via video calls. It aims to help people with advanced cancer manage tough symptoms like pain, fatigue, and distress and improve daily functioning.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06864338Recruiting
Pilot study for a new colorectal cancer screening test
This study tests a new stool-based test for detecting colorectal cancer and advanced polyps. It aims to see how well it works compared to a colonoscopy. The results may lead to a simpler screening option.
Morrisville, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05358548RecruitingPhase 2
Alternating treatment for advanced lung and head-neck cancers
This Phase 2 study tests an approach that alternates treatments for advanced lung cancer or recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds while managing side effects differently than standard back-to-back therapy.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07001618RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant with immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking an oral fecal transplant (MaaT033) along with the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab can help people whose lung cancer stopped responding after antibiotics. It's for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer got worse after standard immunotherapy.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07513376RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant vaccine plus immunotherapy for high-risk early lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving a personalized cancer vaccine (Intismeran) with or without an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) after lung cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with early-stage, high-risk non-small cell lung cancer.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04616209RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer
This early-phase study tests immune cells given from a matched donor to treat advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. It aims to see how safe the treatment is and whether it can help control the cancer.
TaipeiAges 20–70 - NCT07354061RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ensartinib plus chemo before surgery for ALK+ lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking the targeted therapy Ensartinib (which blocks ALK) along with standard chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink ALK-positive lung cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people who have not yet had treatment and whose cancer is at a stage that can be removed with surgery.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18–75 - NCT07037758RecruitingPhase 1
Study of tarlatamab and AB248 for extensive stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, tarlatamab and AB248, for people with extensive stage small cell lung cancer that has worsened after at least one prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–90 - NCT06908993RecruitingPhase 3
Tepotinib vs standard care for MET-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a targeted pill called tepotinib against standard treatments for advanced lung cancer with a specific MET gene change. It is for people whose cancer has progressed after at least one prior therapy.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06437509RecruitingPhase 2
Study of BL-B01D1 plus immunotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination—BL-B01D1 plus a PD-1 immunotherapy—for people who have just been diagnosed with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer and have not had any prior treatment for it. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer better than standard therapy.

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT01639508RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib for lung cancer with specific gene changes
This trial studies how well cabozantinib works in advanced lung cancer when the tumor has certain gene changes (like RET, ROS1, NTRK, MET, or AXL). It may help slow tumor growth after standard treatments, depending on your tumor test results.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer screening?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 686 recruiting lung cancer screening 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 screening 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 screening 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.
