Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04267848RecruitingPhase 3
Testing immunotherapy with chemo after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy medicine to standard chemotherapy after surgery can improve outcomes for some people with non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07646847Recruiting
A support program for people with cancer on immunotherapy
This study tests a program that helps people with cancer manage side effects and find resources for needs like food, transportation, or housing. It is for patients who are starting or recently started immunotherapy for certain cancers.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT03457415Recruiting
Provide sputum sample for lung cancer testing
This study collects sputum (mucus from deep in the lungs) to help test or label lung cancer-related results. You may be placed in a healthy, high-risk, or cancer group depending on your smoking history and whether you already have a lung cancer diagnosis.
Summit, New JerseyAges 21 years+ - NCT03556228RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested medicine for tumors with TrkA changes, alone or with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests VMD-928, a targeted cancer medicine, for cancers that have TrkA-related tumor changes. It may be given by itself or with pembrolizumab to see if it can shrink tumors when standard treatments have not worked.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18–80 - NCT07701733Recruiting
Lung cancer risk study for women who never smoked
This study looks at lung cancer risk in women who have never smoked. It aims to understand why some never-smokers develop lung cancer while others don't.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 40–74 - NCT04991025RecruitingPhase 2
Certolizumab added to chemo and nivolumab for operable lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding certolizumab (an immune-targeting medicine) to standard chemo plus nivolumab can improve outcomes in people with certain operable non-small cell lung cancers. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment before surgery.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05198830RecruitingPhase 2
Adding TRC102 to standard chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding TRC102 to standard chemotherapy plus radiation can improve outcomes for people with stage III non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer. It is designed for newly staged patients and aims to help the immune system work better while treating the tumor.
Jersey City, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05419076RecruitingPhase 2
SRS radiation for small cell lung cancer with brain spread
This Phase 2 trial tests a type of focused radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery, or SRS) for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It looks at whether this approach can treat brain metastases when the cancer has limited to a certain number of spots.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05483491RecruitingPhase 1
TCR cell therapy for select metastatic cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (TCR-T cells) for certain metastatic cancers. It targets cancers that carry a specific marker and requires patients to have a specific immune-system match, aiming to improve cancer control when standard options were already tried.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05607108RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for advanced lung cancer with a specific genetic change
This Phase 2 trial tests ZEN003694 in people with squamous (a type of) lung cancer that has returned or spread. It’s designed for tumors that have a certain gene change, and it may offer a new treatment option after prior chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Middletown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05657873RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for metastatic lung cancer with liver spread
This trial studies whether adding targeted radiation to the liver (small-area, high-precision radiation) can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Participants also start standard “anti–PD-1/PD-L1” immunotherapy (with chemotherapy in some cases).
Middletown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06463665RecruitingPhase 2
Virus therapy with chemo and immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to attack cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than a different chemotherapy drug alone.
Mullica Hill, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06538038Recruiting
Osimertinib plus chemo vs. osimertinib alone for EGFR-mutated NSCLC
This study compares two standard treatments for advanced lung cancer with an EGFR mutation: osimertinib alone versus osimertinib plus chemotherapy. It aims to see which approach works better and is not a trial of a new drug, so you can receive usual care while contributing data.
Morristown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06688422Recruiting
Using a breathing device during lung cancer treatment
This trial tests if using a simple breathing exercise device (called an incentive spirometer) during chemo and radiation for advanced lung cancer can help improve breathing outcomes and overall recovery.

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.
