Recruiting studies
- NCT06051695RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cell therapy for mesothelin-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR T-cells) designed to target cancer cells that have a protein called mesothelin but have lost a marker that lets them hide from the immune system. It's for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06033248Recruiting
Urine test for early lung cancer detection
This study is testing if urine samples can help detect lung cancer early. You might help by providing a urine sample—either if you have early-stage lung cancer, have a suspicious lung nodule, or don’t have lung cancer at all.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–90 - NCT04980716RecruitingPhase 3
Heart-based early intervention for stage III lung cancer using heart signals
This trial tests an early heart-focused intervention guided by a special heart recording (impedance cardiography) in people with locally advanced, unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to improve heart-related safety during planned radiation and chemotherapy, with or without immunotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06028412Enrolling by invitation
Lobectomy vs. Sublobar Resection for Small NSCLC
This trial compares two types of lung surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. You may qualify if you have a small tumor (2 cm or less) with specific features on a CT scan. The goal is to see which surgery offers better outcomes.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–75 - NCT06008730RecruitingPhase 2
Proton beam radiation after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if proton beam radiation therapy is safe and effective after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the chest. It is for people who have already had chemotherapy before their surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06010329RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new pill for advanced lung cancer with rare EGFR mutations
This trial tests an experimental pill called Sutetinib for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a rare EGFR gene change. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors and improve survival.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06026410RecruitingPhase 1
KO-2806 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called KO-2806, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific gene changes (like HRAS or KRAS mutations). It may help if standard treatments have stopped working.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05983432RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-B01D1 for advanced lung and other solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called BL-B01D1 for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. It's designed for those whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05978284RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ZG006 for small cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine carcinoma
This trial tests a new drug, ZG006, that targets a protein called DLL3 found on some cancer cells. It may be an option for people with small cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine carcinoma who have run out of standard treatments.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05985655RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GTAEXS617 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called GTAEXS617 for adults with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05990946Recruiting
Smartphone symptom check-ins to improve recovery exercises after lung surgery
This trial tests whether using a smartphone app to report symptoms can help patients stick to their recovery exercises after minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for lung cancer, this study may help you recover better at home.
Zhongshan, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05987826RecruitingPhase 2
Furmonertinib before surgery for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking furmonertinib before surgery can help shrink tumors in people with early-stage EGFR-mutant lung cancer. It aims to improve surgical outcomes and long-term results.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05985330Recruiting
Study of FeNO as a marker for immunotherapy response in lung cancer
This trial is testing whether a simple breath test (FeNO) can predict how well immunotherapy works in people with advanced lung cancer who haven't had treatment before. It's for patients whose tumors have high PD-L1 levels and who will receive immunotherapy alone.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05969860RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment vs clinic treatment for advanced cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares giving certain standard cancer infusions at home versus in a clinic. It may help people avoid clinic visits while still receiving the same cancer treatment safely.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05965557Recruiting
Markers that predict response to immunotherapy before lung surgery
This study looks for blood or tissue markers that can predict who benefits from immunotherapy given before surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors better choose treatment in the future.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT05963867RecruitingPhase 1
First-dose study of a cancer drug taken up by tumors
This Phase 1 study tests how BI 764532 moves into and through tumors in people with small-cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine cancer. It’s likely aimed at understanding the drug’s behavior in your body and tumor, especially if you’ve already tried standard treatments.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05967689RecruitingPhase 2
Zipalertinib for lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 mutations
This Phase 2 trial tests zipalertinib (a targeted pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR mutations, especially “exon 20 insertions.” It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, including in some people with brain metastases.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05910827RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a HER3 antibody with cetuximab and possibly docetaxel
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether an antibody that targets HER3 (with cetuximab, and possibly docetaxel) can help treat advanced squamous cell cancers that have already been treated or cannot use standard options. It mainly looks at safety first, and also whether the treatment can shrink tumors.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05924841RecruitingPhase 2
Study drugs for advanced small cell lung cancer after prior treatments
This Phase 2 trial tests how well two study drugs (and a combination of them) work in people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It’s mainly for patients whose cancer has come back or who couldn’t tolerate at least some standard treatments, and it aims to see if treatment can shrink tumors and be tolerable.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT05935384Recruiting
Blood tests to track response to cancer therapy
This study follows how cancer responds to standard (usual) treatment by using blood samples and de-identified health data. It may help researchers understand whether “liquid biopsy” blood testing can reflect how well therapy is working.
Skokie, IllinoisAges 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.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT05933239RecruitingPhase 2
PET-like scan using a special protein in lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a new imaging medicine (a radiopharmaceutical) can highlight immune cells called macrophages in people with non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors better “see” and evaluate tumor tissue before a surgical biopsy or removal.
Jette, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT05937906RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy plus short targeted drug for lung cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests how safe and how well a combination of chemo and immunotherapy works when followed by a short course of a targeted “MEK” inhibitor as first treatment for metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with PD-L1 below 50%. It may help some people control cancer better, while also providing more information about side effects and the best way to use these medicines together.
Dijon, BurgundyAges 18 years+ - NCT04900935Recruiting
Survivorship and palliative care planning for metastatic lung cancer
