Ivonescimab with or without chemo for advanced NSCLC
This study tests a new drug, ivonescimab, alone or with chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed), for people with advanced lung cancer that has specific gene changes and has already been treated with targeted therapy. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07361497RecruitingPhase 3
New Drug vs Standard Drug After Chemoradiation for Stage 3 Lung Cancer
This study tests a new drug, pumitamig, against an older drug, durvalumab, for people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has not progressed after chemotherapy and radiation. The goal is to see which drug works better to keep the cancer from growing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07307157Enrolling by invitation
AI vs. pathologists: Which diagnoses cancer better?
This study tests a new AI system called COSMO against pathologists to see which is better at diagnosing cancer from digital slides. If you are an experienced pathologist, you will review slides independently, and your results will be compared with the AI's.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06667076RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab combinations for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests two treatment combinations for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. One group gets amivantamab plus lazertinib, and the other gets amivantamab plus chemotherapy. The goal is to see which combo works better.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06586957RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors

Pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy for stage IV lung cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab alone, or pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy, can treat stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes by boosting the immune system, with or without added chemotherapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06465069RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an experimental drug for advanced bladder and other cancers
This trial tests a new drug called LY4052031 for people with advanced or metastatic cancers, especially bladder cancer. The drug aims to slow or stop tumor growth. Doctors will check if it is safe and how well it works.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07291037RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new drug to standard chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called datopotamab deruxtecan against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a certain type of advanced lung cancer (non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer) that has already been treated. The new drug targets a protein called TROP2 found on cancer cells, which may help slow or stop the cancer's growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06586515RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for cancers with KRAS G12D mutation
This trial tests a new pill (LY3962673) for people whose cancer has a specific DNA change called KRAS G12D. The drug aims to block the faulty protein that helps the cancer grow, and the study will look at safety and whether the tumor shrinks.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04683250RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RET-targeting drug study for advanced cancers with RET changes
This trial tests an “RET-inhibitor” medicine (TAS0953/HM06) for advanced solid tumors that have RET gene changes. It may help shrink tumors by blocking cancer growth signals from the RET gene.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05265429Recruiting
Study of young people’s lung cancer biology
This study looks at biological samples from people diagnosed with lung cancer at age 45 or younger. It may help researchers understand how young lung cancers differ, which could guide future treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 15 years+ - NCT02984761Recruiting
Surgery vs focused radiation for early lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat early-stage lung cancer: surgery or a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiotherapy. It aims to find out which approach works best for people whose cancer is small and has not spread.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07349537RecruitingPhase 1
Study of RMC-5127 for advanced KRAS G12V-mutant solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called RMC-5127 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific KRAS G12V mutation. The study aims to see if this targeted therapy can help when other treatments have stopped working or caused side effects.

What taking part in a lung cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
