Recruiting studies in New Jersey
- NCT04410796RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib alone or with chemo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests whether osimertinib alone is as good as osimertinib plus chemotherapy for lung cancers that have a specific EGFR mutation. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds and slows growth in people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07594522RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ivonescimab with Radiation for Early Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called ivonescimab combined with focused radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot or prefer not to have surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can effectively treat the cancer while being tolerable.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07057791RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (platinum/etoposide) plus an immunotherapy drug (ivonescimab) for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have not received treatment before. The goal is to see if adding the immunotherapy improves outcomes.

Telisotuzumab vedotin vs docetaxel for advanced non-squamous lung cancer
This trial tests an investigational drug (telisotuzumab vedotin) against the standard chemotherapy docetaxel in people with a certain type of non-squamous lung cancer that has high levels of a protein called c-Met. It may offer a new treatment option for those whose cancer has progressed after initial therapy.
East Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04614103RecruitingPhase 2
Immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer after chemotherapy

Study of two drugs for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (valemetostat and atezolizumab) for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have already responded to initial chemo-immunotherapy. The goal is to see if adding valemetostat can keep the cancer from growing longer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07843940RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Two study drugs for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests two new immunotherapy drugs (obrixtamig and pumitamig) given together for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and helps shrink or control the cancer.

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.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06692738RecruitingPhase 3
Is a new immunotherapy better than Keytruda for squamous lung cancer?
This trial tests a new drug called Rilvegostomig against the standard drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda), both combined with chemotherapy, as a first treatment for advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which combination works better.

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.

- Do I have to live in New Jersey to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in New Jersey, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a lung cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
