Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07128680RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy with or without a gut bacteria pill for kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding a live bacteria pill (EXL01) to standard immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) helps treat advanced or metastatic kidney cancer that has clear cells. You may join if you have not had prior immunotherapy and your cancer has not been treated before (except possibly after surgery).
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07122687RecruitingPhase 2
IBI363 or Pembrolizumab with Chemo before Lung Cancer Surgery
This trial tests two different drug combinations (IBI363 plus chemo versus pembrolizumab plus chemo) given before surgery for people with a specific type of lung cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better at shrinking the tumor and helping patients recover.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT07104630RecruitingPhase 2
Pulmonary rehab for advanced lung cancer
This study tests a pulmonary rehabilitation program—special exercises and breathing training—to help people with advanced lung cancer feel less short of breath and improve their daily function and quality of life.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07103395RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chemo, radiation, and dual immunotherapy for stage 3 lung cancer
This trial tests combining chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and two immune-boosting drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) as a first treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if this combination improves outcomes compared to standard care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06968221RecruitingPhase 3

- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer stage iii?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 385 recruiting lung cancer stage iii 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 stage iii 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 stage iii 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.
