Recruiting studies
- NCT06737107Recruiting
Comparing lung segmentectomy methods for early lung cancer
This trial looks back at medical records to compare different ways of performing a segmentectomy (removing a small part of the lung) for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to see which approach might lead to better outcomes for patients like you.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06742021Recruiting
MRI test to predict immune therapy response in lung cancer
This trial uses a special MRI technique (4D FreeBreathing) to see if it can predict how well immune therapy or targeted therapy works for your lung cancer. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you more quickly.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT06743308Recruiting
New questionnaire to improve understanding in advanced lung cancer
This study tests a new questionnaire to help people with advanced lung cancer better understand their illness. It is for patients who are being treated at MD Anderson and were recently diagnosed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06755684RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery targeted drug combo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (befotertinib) given before surgery, either with another targeted drug (bevacizumab) or with standard chemotherapy. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for people with a specific type of lung cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06775678RecruitingPhase 2
Spatial fragmentation plus low-dose radiation for resistant lung cancer
This study tests whether combining a special type of radiation (spatial fragmentation) with low-dose radiation can help people whose lung cancer stopped responding to immunotherapy and chemotherapy. If you are eligible, you may receive a new treatment approach to try to shrink the tumors.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06778512Recruiting
Lung nodule study: using CT scans and breathing tests
This study looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06781905Recruiting
Brain effects of ALK/ROS1 lung cancer drugs and quality of life
This study looks at how certain targeted therapy drugs for ALK/ROS1-positive lung cancer may affect thinking, memory, mood, and mental health. It aims to build a special care and research path where patients and researchers work together to understand and manage these side effects.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06786468Recruiting
Early palliative care for advanced lung cancer
This study tests whether adding early palliative care from a specialist improves well-being for people starting treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It compares standard cancer care alone to standard care plus early palliative care.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06818149Recruiting
Studying heart inflammation from immunotherapy in lung cancer
This study looks for specific markers in the blood that can help doctors better understand and treat heart inflammation (myocarditis) caused by immunotherapy in people with lung cancer. If you join, you will help find ways to improve care for other patients.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06840704RecruitingPhase 3
Can immunonutrition reduce esophagitis during lung cancer radiation?
This trial tests if a special nutritional supplement (immunonutrition) can lower the risk of severe throat and chest irritation (esophagitis) caused by radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may qualify if you are about to start chest radiation and can eat normally.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06843707Recruiting
Lung nodule study using blood and tissue metabolism
This trial follows people with lung nodules over time, using blood and tissue samples to look for metabolic changes that may help understand lung cancer better. If you have a lung nodule found on a CT scan and can safely do lung function tests, this study may be a fit.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06849518Recruiting
Blood test to track immunotherapy response in lung cancer
This study is looking at a simple blood test to see if it can help track how well your immunotherapy is working. If you have advanced lung cancer and are getting a standard immunotherapy drug, you may be able to join.
Kingsport, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT06851663RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New PET scan for many solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special antibody to find a marker called Trop2 on many common solid tumors. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly without needing a biopsy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06863233RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cell imaging study for people with lung cancer
This study uses an imaging method to look at certain immune cells (CD8+ T cells) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are about to receive a new cell therapy. It helps researchers understand how the immune system responds during treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06869447Recruiting
Better Breathing After Lung Cancer Treatment
This study looks at breathing exercises for people who have finished treatment for early-stage lung cancer. You'll be asked to give a blood sample at home and do breathing training to see if it helps your recovery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06877299RecruitingPhase 2
Combination Therapy for Stage IIA-IIIB Lung Cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, focused high-dose radiation (SBRT), chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) for people with stage IIA to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes before or instead of surgery.
Chengdu, ChinaAges 18–75 - NCT06889467Recruiting
Testing leftover fluid from lymph node biopsies to find lung cancer
This trial is for people who are scheduled for a lung cancer biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) because doctors suspect non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has spread to lymph nodes. It will test leftover fluid from the biopsy to see if it improves cancer detection. If your biopsy is negative but you still need surgery to remove lymph nodes, you can help us learn more about this new test.
AshkelonAges 18 years+ - NCT06896162Recruiting
Genetic test to guide first or second treatment for advanced cancer
This study looks at whether using a detailed genetic test of your tumor can help pick the best first or second treatment for advanced lung, colon, breast, or bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps people live longer.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06896890RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inhaled cisplatin for stage IV lung cancer
This trial tests a new way to give the chemotherapy drug cisplatin—as a dry powder you inhale—for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who have not yet started treatment. The goal is to see if this inhaled form is safe and effective when added to standard immunotherapy or chemotherapy.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06898333Recruiting
Lung cancer screening study for women getting mammograms
This study looks at how to improve lung cancer screening for women who are already getting mammograms. It may help find lung cancer early in people with a history of smoking.

Finding high-risk patients for lung cancer screening using chest X-rays
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze chest X-rays and identify people who may be at high risk for lung cancer and could benefit from a CT screening scan. It's designed for current or former smokers aged 50 to 77 who have had a recent chest X-ray and are not already being checked for lung cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,022 recruiting lung cancer studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a lung cancer trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a lung cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
