Recruiting studies
- NCT07788729Recruiting
Support program for cancer patients and their caregivers
This study tests a program that provides social support and short learning sessions to help cancer patients and their caregivers manage daily life. It aims to improve well-being and care for both patients and their support persons.

This trial tests a new treatment called CAR-T therapy that targets a protein called CEA found on some lung cancer cells. It is for people with advanced lung cancer that has not responded to or has gotten worse after at least two standard treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07472517RecruitingPhase 3
Obrixtamig plus standard therapy for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug, obrixtamig, to the usual first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer can help people live longer or slow the cancer's growth. The usual treatment is a combination of atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07465848Recruiting
Testing telomere measurement to help diagnose lung cancer
This study uses a simple blood test to measure telomeres (parts of your DNA) to see if it can help detect lung cancer earlier. Researchers will compare results from people with lung cancer, heavy smokers, and low-risk individuals to improve diagnosis.
Elche, AlicanteAges 45 years+ - NCT07458425Recruiting
Lung cancer screening study using AI
This study tests how well an AI tool can predict lung cancer risk, based on your health information. It looks at how patients feel about this approach to screening, with the goal of making screening more personal and effective.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50–80 - NCT07447050RecruitingPhase 2
Riluzole to Prevent Chemo-Related Cognitive Problems
This pilot study tests whether the drug riluzole can help prevent the thinking and memory problems (often called 'chemobrain') that some people experience during chemotherapy. If you are about to start a chemo regimen containing an anthracycline or platinum drug, you may be able to join.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03740503Recruiting
Study genes in people who respond unusually to treatment
This study looks at stored tumor samples to understand why some people respond much better or much worse than expected. The goal is to learn what the tumor’s genes might be telling doctors about response to treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07439991Recruiting
Study of blood clot risks after lung cancer surgery
This study looks at why some people develop blood clots after lung cancer surgery. By tracking your recovery for 30 days, researchers hope to find better ways to predict and prevent clots in the future.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT07426718Recruiting
Breath test for airway inflammation in lung diseases and healthy people
This study is testing a simple breath test (Inflammacheck device) to see if it can measure airway inflammation in people with various lung conditions, including lung cancer, pneumonia, asthma, and COPD, as well as healthy volunteers. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and monitor respiratory diseases using your breath.

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.
