Recruiting studies
- NCT06498635RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after surgery for lung cancer with no remaining cancer

It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who had no cancer left after treatment.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06503744Recruiting
Comparing two minimally invasive heat treatments for early lung cancer
This trial compares two types of radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment) for early-stage lung cancer that is located in the outer parts of the lung. One approach uses a needle through the chest wall, the other uses a bronchoscope through the airways. The goal is to see which works better for people who cannot have surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06500481RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs standard radiation for cancer spread to brain/spine lining
This trial compares a newer type of radiation (proton therapy) to standard radiation for people whose breast or lung cancer has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It aims to see if proton therapy can better control the disease while causing fewer side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06477302Recruiting
Sticking with breathing rehab for lung cancer
This trial looks at how well people with lung cancer stick with a respiratory rehabilitation program (breathing exercises and support). Researchers want to see if factors like your treatment stage or daily function affect your ability to keep up with rehab. It may help find ways to better support patients during recovery.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06495125RecruitingPhase 2
Study of three drugs for a type of advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (defactinib and avutometinib) plus an immunotherapy (nivolumab) for people with advanced lung adenocarcinoma that has a specific gene mutation (LKB1) and has stopped responding to prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06483282RecruitingPhase 2
Study of immunotherapy plus targeted therapy and chemo before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (adebrelimab), a targeted therapy (apatinib), and chemotherapy given before surgery for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor enough to make surgery more effective and to study markers that might predict response.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06463665RecruitingPhase 2
Virus therapy with chemo and immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to attack cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than a different chemotherapy drug alone.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06472804Recruiting
Insomnia in advanced lung cancer patients
This study looks at how common insomnia (trouble sleeping) is in people with advanced lung cancer. It aims to better understand sleep problems so doctors can help patients sleep better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06449313RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery for stage 3 disease
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery can help shrink stage 3 lung cancer and improve outcomes. The goal is to make the tumor easier to remove and possibly lower the chance of it coming back.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06427954Recruiting
Mobile app study for people with advanced lung cancer
This study tests a mobile app (called THRIVE) to help people with advanced lung cancer manage their health and well-being. You'll use the app on your phone to track symptoms and get support, which may help you feel better and stay more in control.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06424327Recruiting
Lung cancer surgery registry
This study collects information from people having surgery to remove a small part of the lung (segmentectomy) for early-stage lung cancer. It helps doctors learn more about this surgery and its outcomes.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06424067RecruitingPhase 2
Fingolimod for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if the drug fingolimod can help people with advanced non-small cell or small cell lung cancer that has worsened after at least two previous treatments. Fingolimod is a pill taken daily that may help the immune system fight the cancer.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 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.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04790682Recruiting
Liquid blood test to predict first immunotherapy response
This trial tests whether a “liquid biopsy” blood test can help predict how well first immunotherapy will work for people with stage IV lung cancer. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment strategy sooner.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT05541744Recruiting
Using tumor gene data to help guide care for lung cancer
This study looks at gene-related information from a lung tumor sample and pairs it with special imaging to better understand non-small cell lung cancer. If you have a confirmed diagnosis and the right samples/tests, this may help researchers match patients to the most useful information for planning treatment.
Hualien CityAges 20 years+ - NCT06362252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
I-DXd plus atezolizumab for first-line extensive SCLC
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (I-DXd and atezolizumab, with or without carboplatin) as your first treatment for extensive stage small cell lung cancer. It has two groups: one for people who haven't started treatment yet, and another for those who've already had 4 cycles of a standard chemo-immunotherapy combination and are stable or better.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT00900419Recruiting
Check biomarkers during bronchoscopy in breathing and throat pre-cancer
This study looks at “biomarkers” (measurable signals in samples) taken during bronchoscopy or related procedures in people with severe airway pre-cancer or certain lung/throat cancers, and in healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand what these biomarkers mean and how they might help with diagnosis, staging, or monitoring.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 21–90 - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06305715RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before targeted therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if giving radiation to the main lung tumor before starting a targeted therapy pill can help delay the cancer from growing. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change and who have not had targeted therapy before.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06287775RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug combo for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests adding a new drug, iadademstat, to standard immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab or durvalumab) for people with small cell lung cancer that responded to initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better at preventing cancer from returning.
