Recruiting studies in Tennessee
- NCT06196008Recruiting
Exercise coaching for older adults having lung cancer surgery and their caregivers
This study tests if a telephone-based physical activity coach helps older adults (65+) recover better after lung cancer surgery compared to self-monitored activity. Caregivers can also join to learn how to support their loved one and improve their own well-being.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06120283RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for breast cancer and other solid tumors
This trial tests a new oral drug (BGB-43395) alone or with other treatments for people with advanced breast cancer or other solid tumors that depend on CDK4. It aims to find safe doses and see if the drug helps shrink tumors or slow growth.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 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.

Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04402788RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Radiation added to immune therapy for extensive small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to standard immune therapy (atezolizumab) after initial chemo can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. You must have a good response (partial response) or stable disease after initial treatment, plus several lab/imaging checks to confirm safety.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06890598RecruitingPhase 3
Study of olomorasib for KRAS G12C-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy (olomorasib) combined with standard treatments for people with a specific type of non-small cell lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation. Depending on the stage of your cancer, you may receive it before or after surgery, or along with chemotherapy and radiation.
Chattanooga, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06119581RecruitingPhase 3
Oloromosib with Immunotherapy as First Treatment for KRAS G12C Lung Cancer

AU-007 antibody for hard-to-remove or spread skin and lung cancers
This trial tests AU-007, an antibody that targets the IL-2 pathway, in people with certain advanced skin (melanoma) or lung (NSCLC) cancers. It’s designed for cancers that have already progressed after prior immune and other treatments, to see if AU-007 can shrink tumors or control disease.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06110572RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Total body irradiation with immunotherapy for extensive SCLC
This trial adds total body irradiation (a low dose of radiation to the whole body) to standard atezolizumab (immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the radiation helps the immunotherapy work better.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06667076RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab combinations for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests two treatment combinations for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. One group gets amivantamab plus lazertinib, and the other gets amivantamab plus chemotherapy. The goal is to see which combo works better.
Chattanooga, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.

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.

Common questions
- Are there lung cancer clinical trials in Tennessee?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 173 recruiting lung cancer studies with a site in Tennessee, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a lung cancer study in Tennessee?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Tennessee to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Tennessee, 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.
