Recruiting studies
- NCT06141070RecruitingPhase 3
Adding high-dose radiation to standard treatment for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a high, focused dose of radiation to the usual first treatment (chemo and/or immunotherapy) can help people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to a limited number of spots (up to 5). The goal is to see if this approach improves how well the treatment works.

Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–80 - NCT05815173RecruitingPhase 1
Ladarixin plus sotorasib for KRAS-mutated lung cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests whether ladarixin combined with sotorasib can help people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a KRAS G12C mutation. It’s mainly testing safety and how well the treatments work after the cancer has progressed despite prior anti–PD-1 treatment.
Garden City, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT05751798RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug OSE-279 for advanced lung cancer that has no key mutations
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well and how safely OSE-279 works in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who cannot be cured with surgery or radiation. It also looks at the right dose and how it may help, especially if the tumor has high PD-L1.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT05669846RecruitingPhase 2
FMT plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer after prior treatment
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) to pembrolizumab can help people with advanced, PD-L1–positive non-small cell lung cancer that has returned or progressed after anti–PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. You may be asked to give new tumor tissue and undergo gut procedures, because the study aims to change gut bacteria to boost the immune response.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05552846Recruiting
Radiation to the chest after chemo-immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer
This trial looks at whether giving additional targeted radiation to the chest can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after they finish standard chemo-immunotherapy. It may help control the cancer in the lung area and prevent it from coming back there.

Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT04467723RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Atezolizumab plus pirfenidone for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether combining atezolizumab and pirfenidone can help people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after prior treatment. It is aimed at patients whose cancer has certain genetic markers ruled out and who can safely take study medicines and follow frequent visits.
Fairway, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05377034RecruitingPhase 2
Y-90 and immunotherapy vs Y-90 plus placebo for liver cancer
This phase 2 study tests whether adding immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) after Y-90 treatment works better and is safe compared with Y-90 followed by placebo. It is for people with liver cancer that has not spread outside the liver but is difficult to treat.
BeijingAges 21–99 - NCT05559164RecruitingPhase 2
Statins to protect the heart during HER2 breast cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a cholesterol medicine (a statin) can lower the risk of heart damage in people receiving HER2-targeted breast cancer therapy. If you qualify, you may be given a statin and followed with heart tests and blood work to watch for safety and benefit.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06039371RecruitingPhase 2
High dose testosterone during chemo for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests if adding high doses of testosterone to standard chemotherapy (etoposide and carboplatin) can make the chemo work better in men whose prostate cancer has stopped responding to other treatments. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04331093RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery treatment for stage III–IV melanoma with two medicines
This trial tests two medicines given before surgery to shrink stage III–IV acral melanoma (a melanoma type on the hands/feet) and improve outcomes. If the tumors respond, surgery can happen afterward as planned.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT07286253RecruitingPhase 2
QL1706 plus chemo before surgery for advanced cervical cancer
This trial is testing whether adding the immunotherapy drug QL1706 to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for women with a certain type and stage of cervical cancer. It is for women whose cancer has not been treated yet and who are healthy enough for the treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07586891Recruiting
Low-Branched-Chain Amino Acid Diet With Immunotherapy for Stage III Melanoma
This trial tests whether a special diet low in certain amino acids (building blocks of protein), combined with an immune-boosting antibody drug, can safely shrink stage III melanoma that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 532 recruiting lung cancer stage iv 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 iv 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 iv trial?
