Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT04317534RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab after lung cancer surgery versus observation
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) given after complete surgery can lower the chance that early-stage lung cancer comes back. You’ll be compared to standard follow-up without extra treatment to see if the drug helps more people stay cancer-free.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05211895RecruitingPhase 3
Durvalumab plus domvanalimab after chemoradiation for stage 3 lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding durvalumab and domvanalimab after standard chemoradiation can keep unresectable stage 3 lung cancer from coming back or getting worse. It targets tumors with specific lab test results (including PD-L1 and gene markers).
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05236114Recruiting
Study of blood and tumor tests for lung cancer treatment
This study looks at how tumor and blood biomarker results can guide treatment for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Depending on the cancer stage, it may follow standard-of-care treatment plans around surgery or first-line immunotherapy.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05271292RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Chiauranib for advanced cancers that returned or won’t respond
This Phase 1/2 study tests chiauranib in people with advanced solid cancers (including small cell lung cancer) that have come back or no longer respond to standard treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can help shrink tumors.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05893888RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing three investigational drugs for mouth and lung cancers
This trial tests whether PRV111, PRV211, and PRV131 are safe and work better than expected for certain mouth (lip/oral cavity) cancers and lung cancers. It may help by trying a new approach given directly to the tumor and then monitoring how well it shrinks and how safe it is.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–100 - NCT05899608RecruitingPhase 3
Testing ivonescimab as first treatment for metastatic lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests ivonescimab as a first-line treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It may help people by improving how well the cancer responds, especially in tumors with PD-L1 activity, but you must meet specific medical and testing requirements.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05967689RecruitingPhase 2
Zipalertinib for lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 mutations
This Phase 2 trial tests zipalertinib (a targeted pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR mutations, especially “exon 20 insertions.” It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, including in some people with brain metastases.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06248606RecruitingPhase 2
Adagrasib with brain radiation for KRAS G12C lung cancer with brain mets
This study tests a targeted pill (adagrasib) combined with focused radiation to the brain (SRS) for people with KRAS G12C-mutated lung cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this combination can control brain tumors while treating the rest of the body.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06426628Recruiting
Nasal swab test for lung nodule risk
This trial tests a new nasal swab test to help doctors better understand your risk if you have a small lung nodule. The test looks at cells from your nose to give more information about whether the nodule might be cancer, without needing a biopsy right away.
Toledo, OhioAges 29–85 - NCT06476808RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug (BMS-986463) in people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to find a safe dose and see if it helps shrink or control the cancer. You must be well enough to do daily activities and have a tumor that can be biopsied before treatment starts.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06561685RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LY4050784 for Advanced Solid Tumors with SMARCA4 Changes
This trial tests a new drug, LY4050784, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific change in a gene called SMARCA4 (BRG1). The study aims to see if the drug is safe and effective. It may be an option for those who have tried other treatments or have no standard options left.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06805825RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NN3201 for advanced cancers with c-Kit
This trial tests a new drug, NN3201, that targets a protein called c-Kit found on some cancer cells. It may be an option for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including GIST, small cell lung cancer, or other c-Kit-positive cancers, who have already tried standard treatments or cannot take them.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07225036Recruiting
Low-dose liver radiation to boost immunotherapy
This trial tests whether adding a low dose of radiation to the liver can make standard immunotherapy work better for people with non-small cell lung cancer or melanoma that has spread to the liver.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07046923RecruitingPhase 1
A study of LY4175408 for advanced cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug (LY4175408) for people with certain advanced solid tumors (lung, endometrial, or triple negative breast cancer) who have already tried standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07217171RecruitingPhase 1
Study of EVOLVE104 for advanced bladder and squamous cell cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug called EVOLVE104 for people with advanced bladder cancer or certain types of squamous cell cancers. It aims to see if the drug is safe and if it can help shrink tumors.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06418204Recruiting
Cannabis use study for cancer patients in community clinics
This study looks at the benefits and risks of using cannabis or cannabinoids for cancer patients. It aims to help understand how these products affect symptoms and quality of life during chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Newark, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05208762RecruitingPhase 1
PD-L1 antibody drug study for advanced lung and head/neck cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a new experimental drug (PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V) in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment or can’t use it. It is designed to see how the drug works and how safe it is, with a focus on tumors that have PD-L1 seen on prior lab testing.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04665739RecruitingPhase 2
Lutetium Lu-177 for lung carcinoid tumors with somatostatin receptors
This trial tests lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, a targeted radiation treatment, for advanced lung neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors that have a specific marker called somatostatin receptors. It may help shrink tumors by delivering radiation directly to cancer cells that “light up” on a special scan.

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.
