Recruiting studies
- NCT00897117Recruiting
Providing tumor tissue samples during lung cancer surgery
This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue from people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who are planning surgery. It may help researchers learn more about the cancer by studying samples taken at the time of your operation.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–120 - NCT02570815RecruitingPhase 1
Fluorescent-guided robotic lung surgery for early lung cancer
This early-stage trial tests a robotic lung surgery that uses a special dye with near-infrared light to help the surgeon remove only the tumor area. If you have a small, early lung cancer, this approach may help improve accuracy while limiting how much lung is removed.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02468024RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery or focused radiation for early lung cancer
This study compares two treatments—removing only part of the lung (sublobar resection) versus a focused radiation approach (stereotactic ablative radiotherapy)—for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which option works better with fewer problems for the right patients.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02622581Recruiting
Lung cancer testing and treatment outcomes research study platform
This study collects information from adults with different types and stages of lung cancer to connect molecular test results with treatment choices and outcomes. It may help improve how lung cancer is diagnosed and managed by building a better understanding of what works for different patients.
OldenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT03290534RecruitingPhase 2
Implantable radiation sheet for early-stage lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a permanently implanted, low-dose radiation “sheet” can be used to treat certain early-stage lung cancers. It may help shrink or control tumors while delivering radiation directly at the cancer site.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05136846RecruitingPhase 1
Papaverine with chemoradiation for stage II–III lung cancer
This early-phase trial tests whether adding papaverine to standard chemoradiation can improve treatment for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer (and some limited stage IV cases). It aims to see if the combination is safe and tolerable while targeting the cancer with radiation and chemotherapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT06162221RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of RAS inhibitors for advanced RAS-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests new drugs that target specific RAS mutations in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people whose cancer has a KRAS G12C, G12D, or other RAS mutation and who have already tried standard treatments.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02600949Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Peptide vaccine study for advanced pancreatic or colon cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized vaccine made from a patient’s tumor to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer. It is for people with advanced pancreatic or colorectal cancer (often after surgery or while metastatic) and aims to see if the approach is safe and can help immune control of the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07405086RecruitingPhase 4
Morning vs. afternoon immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial compares giving immunotherapy in the morning versus the afternoon to see if timing affects how well it works. It is for people with certain types of advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have not had this treatment before.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT07408635RecruitingPhase 2
New Immunotherapy Plus Chemotherapy Before Lung Cancer Surgery
This trial tests a new combination of an immunotherapy drug (IBI363) plus chemotherapy before surgery in people with Stage III lung cancer that can't be removed at first. The goal is to shrink the tumor so it can be surgically removed.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07410975RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and chemo before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests combining two immunotherapy drugs (anti-CTLA-4 antibody and sintilimab) with chemotherapy before surgery for stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07412327Recruiting
Proton therapy for early stage lung cancer
This trial tests a precise form of proton radiation for people with early stage lung cancer who cannot have surgery. It aims to see if this treatment is effective and safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07428044RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab Deruxtecan for HER2-mutant lung cancer before surgery
This trial tests a targeted drug, trastuzumab deruxtecan, for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific HER2 gene change. The treatment is given before surgery to shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07460999Recruiting
Singing training after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if singing training twice a week can help with ongoing symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue 6 to 18 months after surgery for early-stage lung cancer.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07480213RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK cell therapy for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called dual-target CAR-NK cells for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned or not responded to treatment. The treatment uses your own immune cells, modified in a lab, to better recognize and attack cancer cells.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07489391Recruiting
Exercise during radiation for lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a structured exercise program during radiation and chemotherapy helps people with locally advanced lung cancer. It aims to improve physical function and quality of life.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07508852RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET scan for small cell lung cancer diagnosis
This study uses a special PET scan (68Ga-PFD3) to take pictures of small cell lung cancer tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better diagnose and evaluate the cancer, which may guide treatment decisions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07510321Recruiting
A study of FL-261 imaging for cancer diagnosis
This trial tests a new imaging agent called FL-261 to help doctors see and stage cancers more clearly. If you have a known or suspected cancer like lung, colon, or head and neck cancer, this study may improve how your cancer is evaluated.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07510724Recruiting
Real-world study of Tislelizumab for lung cancer
This trial collects information on how well the immunotherapy drug Tislelizumab works for different types of lung cancer. It is meant for people whose doctor already decided to prescribe this drug as part of their care.
Sankt Pölten, Lower AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07564557Recruiting
Guided surgery for small deep lung cancers
This trial tests a new surgical technique to remove small, early-stage lung cancers that are located deep within the lung tissue. The goal is to remove only the affected area while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07565987Recruiting
Stereotactic Radiation for Advanced Lung Cancer Without Chemotherapy
This trial tests whether a special type of focused radiation therapy can effectively treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (the most common type) as an upfront treatment. It may help patients avoid or delay chemotherapy while controlling their cancer.
