Recruiting studies near Denver
- NCT06623422RecruitingPhase 3
Vaccine plus Keytruda for lung cancer after surgery
This trial tests combining a cancer vaccine (V940) with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with non-small cell lung cancer that was treated with chemo and Keytruda before surgery but wasn't completely removed.

Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT03042221Recruiting
Early re-biopsy to find why tumors survive targeted drugs
This study takes a small tumor sample early after starting targeted treatment (or uses blood if a biopsy isn’t possible) to look for clues—called biomarkers—about why some tumor cells survive. The results may help improve how future patients’ treatments are chosen for certain lung cancer gene mutations.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT06780137RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gocatamig plus ifinatamab deruxtecan for advanced small cell lung cancer
This study tests two new drugs (gocatamig and ifinatamab deruxtecan) for people whose small cell lung cancer has spread or come back after standard chemotherapy. It aims to see if the combination works better than current options.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06031688RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for lung cancer with a MET gene change
This trial tests a targeted drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called MET exon 14 skipping. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth, and may help people who have or haven't had prior treatment.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 minutes+ - NCT06784193RecruitingPhase 1
Study of OP-3136 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, OP-3136, alone or with other drugs, for people with advanced breast cancer, prostate cancer, or lung cancer that has stopped responding to other treatments. It aims to see if OP-3136 is safe and effective.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05987644RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Timing of brain radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer with brain mets
This trial tests whether it is better to delay brain radiation or give it right away in people with ALK-positive lung cancer that has spread to the brain and is causing few or no symptoms. If you are starting alectinib, you may be able to join and help find the best timing for radiation.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05983432RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-B01D1 for advanced lung and other solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called BL-B01D1 for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. It's designed for those whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06799065RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral drug for advanced solid tumors including ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new daily pill that targets a protein helping cancer cells divide. It may stop tumors from growing in people with advanced or metastatic cancer that has returned or stopped responding to standard treatments, including some types of ovarian, lung, and other solid tumors.

Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT01580982Recruiting
Analyze tumor genetic changes to understand lung cancer resistance
This study looks at lung cancer tumor tissue to find genetic “on/off” changes and why treatments may stop working. It may help your care team choose better next tests or treatments based on what the tumor is doing.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT05902988RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of VLS-1488 for advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests VLS-1488, a new cancer medicine, in people with advanced cancers that have limited treatment options. It may help by finding a safe dose and whether it can shrink or control tumors.

Adjuvant vaccine plus immunotherapy for high-risk early lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving a personalized cancer vaccine (Intismeran) with or without an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) after lung cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with early-stage, high-risk non-small cell lung cancer.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06769126RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment study for extensive stage small cell lung cancer
This study uses biomarker tests on your tumor to find a personalized treatment after initial chemotherapy. You will be assigned to one of four treatment groups based on your biomarker results.

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.
