Recruiting studies
- NCT06582771RecruitingPhase 2
Testing sotorasib for untreated lung cancer with KRAS G12C mutation
This trial tests an oral targeted drug called sotorasib for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (KRAS G12C mutation) who have not had any prior treatment for their advanced disease. It aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors and help patients without using standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy first.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06076005Recruiting
Advanced Lung Cancer at First Diagnosis Study
This study collects information about people with advanced lung cancer at the time they are first diagnosed. It aims to understand the disease better and may help with future treatments.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT04300062Recruiting
Rebiopsy of lung cancer after treatment no longer works
This trial studies patients with lung cancer whose disease has continued to grow despite immunotherapy. It involves taking a new tissue sample (a rebiopsy) to help doctors understand what changed during treatment and guide next steps.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT06538636Recruiting
Improving lung cancer screening for Veterans
This study is testing a new way to find Veterans who might benefit from yearly lung cancer screening. It uses a computer model to estimate your personal benefit, even if you don't fit the usual screening guidelines.
Bedford, MassachusettsAges 50–80 - NCT06540196Recruiting
AI tool to predict lung cancer spread during ultrasound staging
This trial tests an artificial intelligence platform that helps doctors predict if lymph nodes in the chest contain cancer during a routine ultrasound procedure. It aims to make staging more accurate for people with suspected or confirmed non-small cell lung cancer.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06547710Recruiting
Surgery for lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the lung
This trial tests if removing the main lung tumor can help patients whose cancer has spread to the lining of the lung (M1a stage) but not to other organs. It is for people who have not had any prior treatment for lung cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06498635RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after surgery for lung cancer with no remaining cancer
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (durvalumab) after surgery can help prevent lung cancer from coming back if you already had a complete response to chemo and immunotherapy before surgery. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who had no cancer left after treatment.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06503744Recruiting
Comparing two minimally invasive heat treatments for early lung cancer
This trial compares two types of radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment) for early-stage lung cancer that is located in the outer parts of the lung. One approach uses a needle through the chest wall, the other uses a bronchoscope through the airways. The goal is to see which works better for people who cannot have surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06481813Recruiting
Lung Cancer Biobank Study for Newly Diagnosed Patients
This trial collects blood and tissue samples from people newly diagnosed with lung cancer (NSCLC or CPC) to study the disease over time. It helps researchers understand how different treatments affect the cancer and the body.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06477302Recruiting
Sticking with breathing rehab for lung cancer
This trial looks at how well people with lung cancer stick with a respiratory rehabilitation program (breathing exercises and support). Researchers want to see if factors like your treatment stage or daily function affect your ability to keep up with rehab. It may help find ways to better support patients during recovery.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06495125RecruitingPhase 2
Study of three drugs for a type of advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (defactinib and avutometinib) plus an immunotherapy (nivolumab) for people with advanced lung adenocarcinoma that has a specific gene mutation (LKB1) and has stopped responding to prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 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.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06455917RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a personalized treatment using your own immune cells (called TILs) to fight advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed after standard therapy. You would have surgery to collect a tumor sample, then receive your expanded immune cells back as an infusion.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06424067RecruitingPhase 2
Fingolimod for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if the drug fingolimod can help people with advanced non-small cell or small cell lung cancer that has worsened after at least two previous treatments. Fingolimod is a pill taken daily that may help the immune system fight the cancer.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06427954Recruiting
Mobile app study for people with advanced lung cancer
This study tests a mobile app (called THRIVE) to help people with advanced lung cancer manage their health and well-being. You'll use the app on your phone to track symptoms and get support, which may help you feel better and stay more in control.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06424327Recruiting
Lung cancer surgery registry
This study collects information from people having surgery to remove a small part of the lung (segmentectomy) for early-stage lung cancer. It helps doctors learn more about this surgery and its outcomes.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06420206Recruiting
Goals of care discussion in the ER for advanced cancer
This study is for people with advanced lung or GI cancer who come to the emergency room at MD Anderson. It’s testing a conversation to help you and your doctor discuss your goals and wishes for care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06391749Enrolling by invitation
Blood test for multiple cancers in people with symptoms
This trial tests a new blood test (SPOT-MAS) that looks for signs of multiple cancers in people who already have symptoms and are being checked with imaging. If the blood test is positive, you'll get more detailed scans or a biopsy to see if cancer is present.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18 years+ - NCT04790682Recruiting
Liquid blood test to predict first immunotherapy response
This trial tests whether a “liquid biopsy” blood test can help predict how well first immunotherapy will work for people with stage IV lung cancer. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment strategy sooner.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT05541744Recruiting
Using tumor gene data to help guide care for lung cancer
This study looks at gene-related information from a lung tumor sample and pairs it with special imaging to better understand non-small cell lung cancer. If you have a confirmed diagnosis and the right samples/tests, this may help researchers match patients to the most useful information for planning treatment.
Hualien CityAges 20 years+ - NCT00900419Recruiting
Check biomarkers during bronchoscopy in breathing and throat pre-cancer
This study looks at “biomarkers” (measurable signals in samples) taken during bronchoscopy or related procedures in people with severe airway pre-cancer or certain lung/throat cancers, and in healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand what these biomarkers mean and how they might help with diagnosis, staging, or monitoring.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,008 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.
