Obrixtamig plus standard therapy for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug, obrixtamig, to the usual first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer can help people live longer or slow the cancer's growth. The usual treatment is a combination of atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06162221RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of RAS inhibitors for advanced RAS-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests new drugs that target specific RAS mutations in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people whose cancer has a KRAS G12C, G12D, or other RAS mutation and who have already tried standard treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06171750RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ANK-101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ANK-101, injected directly into tumors to help fight advanced solid tumors that have spread or can't be treated with standard therapies. It may be an option if you have a tumor that can be reached for injection.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05920356RecruitingPhase 3
Tested KRAS-targeted sotorasib plus chemo vs pembrolizumab plus chemo
This Phase 3 trial tests whether sotorasib plus standard chemotherapy works better than pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) plus standard chemotherapy as first treatment for certain advanced lung cancers. It may help people whose tumors have a KRAS G12C mutation and that do not show PD-L1 on testing.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT04075305Recruiting
Study measuring radiation treatment outcomes with an MR-Linac
This study follows what happens when radiation treatment is guided using an MR-Linac (a special machine that combines MRI imaging with radiation). It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned and assessed, especially for people who can safely have MRI scans.

This trial tests a targeted therapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have extra copies of the MET gene. It's for those whose cancer has progressed after at least one prior treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05061550RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted immune-plus-chemo treatment before and after lung surgery
This trial studies whether adding immune treatment and chemotherapy around the time of lung tumor removal improves outcomes for people with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). You may qualify if your cancer can be surgically removed and your tumor tests meet required biomarker rules.

Testing a new drug combo for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests adding a new drug, iadademstat, to standard immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab or durvalumab) for people with small cell lung cancer that responded to initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better at preventing cancer from returning.

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.
