Recruiting studies
- NCT06378892RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chemo plus lorlatinib for ALK+ lung cancer

Study of focused radiation after PD-1 treatment helped non-lung cancer
This observational study looks at how stereotactic (high-precision) radiation works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that is stable after PD-1 antibody treatment (sometimes with chemotherapy). It may help doctors better understand which patients benefit from this next treatment step and what side effects to expect.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05987644RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Timing of brain radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer with brain mets

This trial tests a new investigational medicine (aglatimagene besadenovec) plus pembrolizumab against standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with stage IV non-squamous lung cancer that has stopped responding to pembrolizumab. The new treatment is given as a tumor injection (like a biopsy) along with a pill (prodrug) and an infusion of pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if it can re-engage the immune system to fight the cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04297605RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) given together with a chemotherapy drug to treat non-small cell lung cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. It’s aimed at people who can handle treatment with an ECOG performance status of 2, including some with certain types of brain metastases.

Pumitamig plus chemo for Stage IV lung cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests a new investigational drug called Pumitamig (BNT327) given with chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (Stage IV) that has continued to grow after one prior treatment with immunotherapy and platinum chemotherapy. The study aims to see if this combination is safe and can help shrink the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06452277RecruitingPhase 3
Testing sevabertinib for advanced HER2-mutated lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted drug called sevabertinib against standard chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific HER2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if sevabertinib works better and is safe.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07412262RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chidamide and ivonescimab for advanced lung cancer after immunotherapy resistance
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (chidamide and ivonescimab) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that stopped responding to initial immunotherapy and has a specific protein marker (YAP) at high levels. It aims to see if this new combination can help when standard immunotherapy no longer works.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07202611RecruitingPhase 2
Immune Cell Therapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study tests a new kind of cancer treatment using your own immune cells (called DC and NK cells) to fight advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people who have already tried other treatments but need more options.
Huwei, YUNLINAges 20 years+ - NCT06345729RecruitingPhase 3
Combination drug therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new pill (calderasib) combined with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) for people with a specific type of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07255066Recruiting
Omega-3 nutrition supplement for advanced lung or colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether a special nutrition supplement (rich in EPA, an omega-3 fat) can help people with advanced lung or colorectal cancer who are losing weight. It aims to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06121505RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding low-dose radiation and a type of targeted radiation (SBRT) to a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and chemotherapy works better than immunotherapy and chemotherapy alone for people with advanced squamous cell lung cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04430452RecruitingPhase 2
