Recruiting studies
- NCT06908070RecruitingPhase 4
Chemoradiation, surgery, then durvalumab for stage 3 lung cancer
This trial tests if giving the immunotherapy drug durvalumab after chemoradiation and surgery helps people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer. You will receive standard chemoradiation, then have surgery, and then get durvalumab to see if it lowers the chance of the cancer coming back.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06878274RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after chemo-immunotherapy and surgery for stage III lung cancer
This trial is testing whether giving radiation therapy after surgery can help prevent lung cancer from coming back in people who have already had chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. It is for patients whose cancer had spread to chest lymph nodes and who still have some cancer left in those nodes after surgery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06869447Recruiting
Better Breathing After Lung Cancer Treatment
This study looks at breathing exercises for people who have finished treatment for early-stage lung cancer. You'll be asked to give a blood sample at home and do breathing training to see if it helps your recovery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06866262RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

This trial tests whether adding an inulin gel to standard immunotherapy (ipilimumab and nivolumab) can help treat kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It is for people who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06617936RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus endostatin and chemo for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab), an anti-angiogenic drug (endostatin), and standard chemotherapy for people with stage III lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.

Adebrelimab plus apatinib after chemoradiation for limited-stage SCLC
This trial tests whether adding two drugs (adebrelimab and apatinib) after standard chemoradiation can help prevent cancer from coming back in people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It is for patients whose cancer did not grow after chemoradiation.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT06764095RecruitingPhase 4
Drug combo before bladder or ureter surgery for advanced cancer
This trial tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, given before surgery to remove the bladder or ureter in people with advanced bladder or upper urinary tract cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the cancer and improves outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06731270RecruitingPhase 2
Diclofenac for advanced lung cancer on immunotherapy
This trial tests whether adding the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors are growing while on a single immunotherapy drug. You must have been on immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks and have a growing tumor, but your doctor does not plan to change your treatment right away.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06719700RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo-radiation with two drugs for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests combining standard chemotherapy with radiation (chemoradiotherapy) plus two additional drugs, toripalimab and surufatinib, for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06656598RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy and radiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug called cemiplimab to chemotherapy before a shorter course of radiation helps older or less fit patients with stage III lung cancer. It aims to improve treatment results while being more manageable for patients who might not tolerate standard therapies.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06634056RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing lung inflammation during chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether two medicines, pentoxifylline and vitamin E, can help prevent a type of lung inflammation called pneumonitis in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who are getting chemoradiation and a checkpoint inhibitor. These medicines are already used for other conditions and may lower the risk of this side effect.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06639191RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of a new drug for cancers expressing CD44v6
This trial tests a new radioactive drug called [177Lu]Lu-AKIR001 for patients with certain advanced cancers (like thyroid, head and neck, lung, vulvar, or cervical cancer) that have a specific protein called CD44v6 on their surface. The goal is to see if this treatment can help when standard options have stopped working.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06634199Recruiting
Immune response after chemoradiation and immunotherapy for stage III lung cancer
This study looks at how the body’s immune system responds in people with stage III lung cancer (not removable by surgery) who first get chemotherapy and radiation and then receive the immunotherapy drug durvalumab for one year. It aims to learn more about the immune response and why the treatment works better for some people.
Ferrol, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT06616584RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cemiplimab plus standard care for advanced lung cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab to standard treatment can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already progressed after both platinum chemo and a prior immunotherapy. It is designed for those who responded to their first immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks before the cancer started growing again.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06582771RecruitingPhase 2
Testing sotorasib for untreated lung cancer with KRAS G12C mutation
This trial tests an oral targeted drug called sotorasib for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (KRAS G12C mutation) who have not had any prior treatment for their advanced disease. It aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors and help patients without using standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy first.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06563999RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new drugs for stage III lung cancer with rare gene changes
This trial tests whether giving treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) can help people with stage III lung cancer that has certain rare gene changes. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor enough to allow surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06076005Recruiting
Advanced Lung Cancer at First Diagnosis Study
This study collects information about people with advanced lung cancer at the time they are first diagnosed. It aims to understand the disease better and may help with future treatments.

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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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.

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.
