Recruiting studies
- NCT06747832Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
INK cells after chemoradiation for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a special immune cell called iNK cells after standard chemoradiation can help keep small cell lung cancer from coming back.
Weifang, Shandong Province, China.Ages 18–75 - NCT05851755Enrolling by invitation
Italian lung cancer study observing care and outcomes
This is an observational study of people with lung cancer. The goal is to better understand care patterns and outcomes; joining would involve giving consent and answering study questions.

PET/CT scan changes during chemo with immune therapy
This study looks at how PET/CT scan results change while you receive chemo plus an immune therapy (a PD-1/PD-L1 medicine) for stage IV lung cancer. The goal is to better understand what the scans mean during treatment, which may help guide care in the future.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05102110Recruiting
Check rectal mucus in people with throat or lung cancers
This study looks at a substance called rectal mucus during an exam to learn about changes in people with cancers of the throat/airways (aero-digestive tract). It’s a feasibility study, meaning it mainly tests whether this approach is safe and practical.
ExeterAges 18–99 - NCT06043466RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for CEA-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called CAR-T that targets cancer cells with a protein called CEA. It is for people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments.

Vismodegib and Atezolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, vismodegib and atezolizumab, for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread or come back after standard treatments. The goal is to see if this new combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06674252Recruiting

Sparing memory during brain radiation for leptomeningeal metastases
This trial tests a special type of radiation that avoids the memory center of the brain (the hippocampus) while treating cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It may help reduce side effects on thinking and memory for people with breast or lung cancer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07415005RecruitingPhase 2
Lorlatinib and local therapy for ALK-positive lung cancer
This study combines a daily targeted pill (lorlatinib) with a short course of radiation or surgery to treat ALK-positive lung cancer. The goal is to see if this two-step approach delays the cancer from growing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04025541Recruiting
Blood tests to study tumor markers
This trial looks at blood samples to measure substances that may reflect cancer (tumor markers). It may help doctors understand cancer better and improve future monitoring, as long as you can safely and regularly take part.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07699861Recruiting
Thoracic cancers during pregnancy registry
This registry collects information on thoracic cancers (like lung cancer, mesothelioma, or chest tumors) that occur during pregnancy. It helps doctors learn more about how to care for both the mother and baby.
BadenAges 18 years+ - NCT05354596Recruiting
SBRT radiation trial for central lung tumors
This trial studies a focused, high-dose radiation treatment called SBRT for lung tumors that are hard to operate on, including very central tumors near major airways or organs. It may help people control tumor growth while limiting radiation exposure to nearby critical structures.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05752552RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of a MET-targeting pill for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests DO-2 to see how safe it is and how the body absorbs it (pharmacokinetics) in people with advanced or metastatic lung cancer. It is for tumors that have a specific MET exon 14 “skipping” mutation and for whom standard treatments are no longer an option.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06472804Recruiting
Insomnia in advanced lung cancer patients
This study looks at how common insomnia (trouble sleeping) is in people with advanced lung cancer. It aims to better understand sleep problems so doctors can help patients sleep better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06717295Recruiting
Blood test to find cancer early and track treatment
This study uses a blood test that looks at your platelets and immune cells to find common cancers early, and for certain cancers, to monitor how well treatment is working.
RosarioAges 40–75 - NCT06910761RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for cancer spread to brain lining
This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation to the brain and spine (craniospinal irradiation) can help control cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal disease) in people with breast cancer or non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to improve symptoms and slow disease progression.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07145255RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MBRC-201 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MBRC-201, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it helps shrink tumors or slow their growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07195084Recruiting
Proton therapy for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a new type of proton radiation for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if it's safe and works well, with less damage to healthy tissue.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07619339RecruitingPhase 1
Tepotinib and Ivonescimab for MET-Driven Lung Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (tepotinib and ivonescimab) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients whose tumors have a specific genetic change called MET exon 14 skipping. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or shrink the cancer.

Lung cancer screening for high-risk workers and smokers
This study offers lung cancer screening (using scans) for people at high risk due to smoking history and workplace exposure to cancer-causing substances. It aims to find lung cancers earlier and understand who benefits most from regular screening.

Tislelizumab for cancer patients with minimal residual disease
This trial is for people who have completed standard cancer treatments (like surgery, chemo or radiation) and have no visible cancer on scans, but may still have very small amounts of cancer DNA in their blood. The study tests whether the drug tislelizumab can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT06634056RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing lung inflammation during chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether two medicines, pentoxifylline and vitamin E, can help prevent a type of lung inflammation called pneumonitis in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who are getting chemoradiation and a checkpoint inhibitor. These medicines are already used for other conditions and may lower the risk of this side effect.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,036 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.
