Recruiting studies
- NCT06810609RecruitingPhase 2
Immunochemotherapy, surgery, and durvalumab for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and either surgery or radiation for people with stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding the drug durvalumab after standard treatment helps control the cancer better.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–74 - NCT06997458Enrolling by invitation

This study is testing a simple blood draw (liquid biopsy) to track advanced lung or colon cancer. It may help doctors understand the cancer better without needing repeated tissue biopsies.
Granada, AndalusiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03808337RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus standard treatment for spread cancer
This trial looks at adding a focused radiation treatment called SBRT to standard care for cancers that have spread to a limited number of spots. It aims to control those spread-out tumors while still using the usual cancer treatment plan.
San Carlos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05628376Recruiting
Tracking lung cancer evolution through treatment
This study follows people with lung cancer over time to see how the disease changes, especially during and after treatment. By collecting tumor samples and blood tests every few months, researchers hope to understand why some cancers come back or become resistant, and find better ways to treat them.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05713006RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Alectinib drug handling study for ALK-positive advanced lung cancer
This early-phase trial studies how alectinib (an ALK-blocking medicine) moves through the body and how it’s tolerated in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has an ALK rearrangement. You may be considered if you have ALK-positive, recurrent or advanced disease and have already had specific prior treatments.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06265350Recruiting
Freezing lung tumors plus immunotherapy for liver cancer with lung spread
This study tests a combination of treatments—freezing the lung tumors (cryoablation) plus two drugs (cardonilizumab and bevacizumab)—for people with liver cancer that has spread only to their lungs. It may be an option if your first treatment stopped working but your liver tumors are under control.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06313541RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive radiation with immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial is testing a combination of immunotherapy and targeted radiation for people with advanced lung cancer that has no targetable gene changes. The goal is to see if adjusting radiation based on how well the tumor responds can improve outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06943820RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AK129 combination therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (including AK129) for people with advanced solid tumors, specifically lung cancer, head and neck cancer, or colorectal cancer. It is for those who have already tried a platinum chemo and a PD-1/PD-L1 drug but their cancer got worse.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06141226RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for immunotherapy-resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (TQB2450), a targeted therapy (anlotinib), and chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer stopped responding to prior immunotherapy. It aims to find a new option when the first treatment didn't work anymore.
Huizhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07224152RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation for inoperable lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called NBTXR3, which makes cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. You'll get one injection of NBTXR3 into your lung tumor, followed by standard radiation. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot have surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06686771RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation for limited growth in advanced lung cancer on immunotherapy
This trial tests whether giving high-precision radiation to a few spots that are growing during immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) can help people with advanced lung cancer. It aims to see if treating these limited areas of resistance can extend the time the cancer stays under control.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07094685RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab before surgery for head and neck cancer
This study tests a new immunotherapy drug called ivonescimab given before surgery for people with advanced head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04198766RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New OX40 immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (INBRX-106) alone or with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) for adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help the immune system fight cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06137378RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab for advanced throat cancer to avoid laryngectomy
This trial tests whether a drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda) can help people with advanced throat cancer avoid removal of the voice box. You may be eligible if you have a specific type of larynx or hypopharynx cancer that hasn't been treated with radiation or immunotherapy before.
Mannheim, Baden-WürtembergAges 18–70 - NCT07264647RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery for stage III lung cancer
