The Bronx, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT04063501Recruiting
Study of gut microbes during immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial studies how gut bacteria (the microbiome) and the body’s immune signs change over time while you receive PD-1–based immunotherapy for advanced, unresectable non–small cell lung cancer. The goal is to learn which immune and microbial patterns might relate to how well treatment works and how patients respond.
New York, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT05786924RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted cancer drug study for RAS/RAF mutation-positive tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests S241656 (a targeted cancer medicine) in people whose cancers have certain “RAS/RAF” gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer growth, and also finds the safest dose and best way to use the drug.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05802186Recruiting
AI-guided radiation plan for lung cancer tumors
This study uses an AI tool to help plan how doctors deliver focused radiation to lung tumors. It may help make radiation targeting more precise and support treatment safety for people with primary or limited metastatic lung cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05800587RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced-dose chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies a lower (reduced) dose of chemotherapy in people with advanced lung cancer who may not tolerate standard treatment. It aims to see if the treatment still works while being safer for “compromised” patients.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05762731Recruiting
Lung cancer screening for people with family history
This trial offers screening tests to look for lung cancer early in people whose parent, child, or sibling has had lung cancer. It may help find cancer sooner, when treatment is more effective.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 50–75 - NCT05681780RecruitingPhase 1
CD40L-treated immune cells for advanced lung cancer with certain gene changes
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (TIL) boosted with CD40L, plus nivolumab, for stage IV or returning non-small cell lung cancer with specific gene changes (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, or HER2). It aims to help your immune system attack the cancer after it has grown despite standard treatments.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05696782RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab after chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests giving durvalumab (an immune therapy) soon after standard chemotherapy and radiation for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this “quick start” approach improves outcomes compared with waiting longer to begin durvalumab.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04944030Recruiting
Study collects health data for metastatic lung cancer patients
This study collects medical information and test results from people with lung cancer that has spread (or cannot be cured with local treatment). It does not test a new drug; it helps researchers better understand patients’ health and care needs over time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,009 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.
