Recruiting studies
- NCT06019455Recruiting

Study of a new drug for small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BL-M14D1 for people with certain types of advanced lung cancer or neuroendocrine tumors that have stopped responding to other treatments. It may be an option if your cancer has a specific marker called DLL3.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07318051Recruiting
Sample collection for cancer research study
This study collects blood and tumor tissue samples from patients with certain untreated cancers to help researchers develop and improve tests. You may be eligible if you have one of the listed cancer types and have not yet started treatment.

STK-012 drug for advanced lung cancer and other tumors
This trial tests STK-012 (alone and with other treatments) in people with advanced cancers, especially non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by activating the immune system to recognize and fight the tumor.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06016569Recruiting
Breath test for early lung cancer in high-risk smokers
This study tests a new breath test to find early signs of lung cancer in people at high risk. It looks for cancer biomarkers in the air you breathe out. If you are a heavy smoker between 55 and 74, this trial may help detect lung cancer earlier.
BrnoAges 55–74 - NCT06295497Recruiting
Lung cancer screening for non-smokers with a family history

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02596490Recruiting
Couple meditation program for metastatic lung cancer and partners
This study tests whether a couple-based meditation program can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their romantic partners cope better during treatment. It looks at the experience of both the patient and their partner, not just the patient alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07531095RecruitingPhase 1
Combination drug trial for small cell lung cancer
This study tests three experimental drugs (tarlatamab, ZL-1310, and sometimes an immune-boosting drug) together to treat small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or shrink the cancer and help you live longer.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18–99 - NCT07365319RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug combo for stage 4 lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called EIK1001 combined with standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy for people with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer who have not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding EIK1001 helps shrink tumors more than the current standard treatment.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07325136RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BMS-986525 for Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer
This study tests a new drug called BMS-986525, alone or with other treatments, for people with small cell lung cancer that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to find out if the drug is safe and tolerable.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06026111Recruiting
Exercise during immunotherapy for lung cancer
This study tests if adding a structured exercise program can help people with non-small cell lung cancer who are already on immunotherapy. It is for people who are not currently very active and are willing to travel to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for some visits.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07066813Recruiting
Lung cancer with air pockets: staging and treatment
This study looks at lung cancers that have air-filled spaces inside them. It explores how the stage of the cancer affects treatment outcomes. If you have this type of lung cancer and have had surgery, this trial may help doctors learn more about your condition.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT05777603RecruitingPhase 1
Aerosol antibiotics plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether inhaled (aerosol) antibiotics combined with pembrolizumab can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite standard first treatment. It aims to improve cancer control by testing this new combination in Phase 1 safety and early effectiveness.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04992780RecruitingPhase 2
Hypo-fractionated radiation versus standard radiation for lung cancer
This study compares two different radiation schedules for stage III non-small cell lung cancer, both combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. It aims to see whether giving radiation in a different way can work as well (or better) and be safe while treating the cancer.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07488507Recruiting
Combined biopsy for lung cancer spread in the chest
This trial tests a new way to take tissue samples from suspicious spots in the chest (mediastinum) in people with lung cancer. It aims to see if combining two biopsy methods is safer and more accurate than one alone.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07639255Recruiting

Ashland, KentuckyAges 18–100 - NCT06610734RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This study tests a new combination treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. You would receive an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) together with chemotherapy and a very low dose of chest radiation, to see if this helps control the cancer better.

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.
