Recruiting studies near Denver
- NCT01585675Recruiting
Banking lung cancer specimens for future testing
This study collects and stores (banks) samples from people who are currently being evaluated for lung cancer or receiving treatment. It helps researchers use these samples later for future diagnosis and research.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT06343402RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BBO-8520 for advanced KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial tests a new oral medication called BBO-8520 for advanced lung cancer with a specific gene change (KRAS G12C mutation). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective, and may be combined with another drug (pembrolizumab) in some groups.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05107674RecruitingPhase 1
Early drug study for advanced cancers that have limited options
This Phase 1 study tests NX-1607 in adults with advanced cancers that are hard to treat with standard care. It focuses on safety and early signs of how well the drug may work in specific cancer types.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT00900419Recruiting
Check biomarkers during bronchoscopy in breathing and throat pre-cancer
This study looks at “biomarkers” (measurable signals in samples) taken during bronchoscopy or related procedures in people with severe airway pre-cancer or certain lung/throat cancers, and in healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand what these biomarkers mean and how they might help with diagnosis, staging, or monitoring.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 21–90 - NCT02468024RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery or focused radiation for early lung cancer
This study compares two treatments—removing only part of the lung (sublobar resection) versus a focused radiation approach (stereotactic ablative radiotherapy)—for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which option works better with fewer problems for the right patients.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07227597RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of two experimental drugs for advanced small cell lung cancer
This study tests two experimental drugs, gocatamig and ifinatamab deruxtecan, for people with advanced small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer, either as a first treatment or after initial standard therapy.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04302025RecruitingPhase 2
Testing targeted and immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery
This trial studies whether giving different cancer medicines before (and sometimes after) surgery improves outcomes for people with early-stage, operable lung cancer that has certain tumor markers. It may help by trying to shrink or control the cancer early and lower the chance it comes back.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05257551Recruiting
Small cell lung cancer data study using tumor and blood samples
This observational study collects information and lab samples from people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It may help researchers understand how patients respond and improve future care, but it usually does not add new treatment for you.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07491497RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TRI-611 for ALK-positive lung cancer
This study tests an experimental pill for people with a specific type of lung cancer. The trial will see if the drug is safe and if it helps shrink tumors.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05517811Recruiting
Blood clotting tests before and after surgery for cancer
This study looks at how cancer and surgery affect blood clotting. It may help doctors understand and prevent blood clots in patients having surgery for certain cancers.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT06362369RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral 7HP349 with immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental oral drug (7HP349) combined with two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) for people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective in shrinking tumors.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07499674RecruitingPhase 3
A lung cancer surgery study to test a special imaging dye
This trial tests a dye called abenacianine (VGT-309) that may help surgeons see cancer more clearly during lung surgery. It looks at whether the dye is safe and effective for identifying cancer in people having surgery to remove a lung lesion or mass.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06253871RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IAM1363 for HER2 Cancers
This trial tests a new oral drug called IAM1363 for people with HER2-altered cancers that have stopped responding to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works against these cancers.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05179408Recruiting
Video rehab after lung cancer treatment for Veterans
This trial tests whether targeted rehab done by video (telerehabilitation) can help Veterans recover after curative (aim-to-cure) lung cancer treatment. It mainly focuses on people who have recently finished surgery or radiation/chemo-radiation and may benefit from guided exercise from home.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07080242RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-M14D1 for small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug, BL-M14D1, for people with certain types of neuroendocrine tumors or small cell lung cancer that have progressed after standard treatment. The drug targets a protein called DLL3 found on these cancer cells, which may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07185997RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Firmonertinib for first-line treatment of advanced lung cancer with uncommon EGFR mutations
This trial tests a new pill called firmonertinib against standard EGFR inhibitor pills for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has certain uncommon EGFR mutations. It aims to see if firmonertinib works better in stopping the cancer from growing.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges 19–110 - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
Littleton, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06695845RecruitingPhase 2
Study of zanidatamab for HER2-positive solid tumors

Littleton, ColoradoAges 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.
Golden, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06422143RecruitingPhase 3

This trial tests the combination of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with or without a new drug, sacituzumab tirumotecan (Sac-TMT), as initial treatment for advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if adding Sac-TMT after initial treatment helps keep cancer under control longer.
Golden, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06119581RecruitingPhase 3
Oloromosib with Immunotherapy as First Treatment for KRAS G12C Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (olomorasib) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and possibly chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation and has not been treated before.
Lone Tree, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06095505RecruitingPhase 2

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.
