Lung cancer clinical trials
Cancer that begins in the lungs, often linked to smoking but also affecting non-smokers. We’re tracking 2,036 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT03198052RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for cancers with specific protein targets
This Phase 1 study tests CAR-T cells that are engineered to recognize several cancer “markers” (specific proteins) found on some advanced cancers. It may help by directing the patient’s own immune cells to attack cancer, but eligibility depends on matching the required protein markers.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05628376Recruiting
Tracking lung cancer evolution through treatment
This study follows people with lung cancer over time to see how the disease changes, especially during and after treatment. By collecting tumor samples and blood tests every few months, researchers hope to understand why some cancers come back or become resistant, and find better ways to treat them.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07260591RecruitingPhase 1
VSV-02 for advanced solid tumors that need new options
This trial tests an experimental virus therapy called VSV-02 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The treatment is given directly into a tumor, aiming to attack cancer from the inside.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06141226RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for immunotherapy-resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (TQB2450), a targeted therapy (anlotinib), and chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer stopped responding to prior immunotherapy. It aims to find a new option when the first treatment didn't work anymore.
Huizhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07503808RecruitingPhase 1
IDE034 for advanced solid tumors with B7-H3 or PTK7
This study tests a new drug called IDE034 for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain markers (B7-H3 and PTK7). The drug may help by targeting these markers on cancer cells, and the study checks if it is safe and effective.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07224152RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation for inoperable lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called NBTXR3, which makes cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. You'll get one injection of NBTXR3 into your lung tumor, followed by standard radiation. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot have surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06999187RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DR-0202 for advanced solid tumors after multiple treatments
This trial tests a new drug, DR-0202, for people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to at least two prior treatments. It may be an option if standard treatments are no longer working.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07462377RecruitingPhase 1
Testing EPI-326 for EGFR-mutant lung and head & neck cancers
This trial tests a new drug, EPI-326, in people with advanced lung or head & neck cancers that have certain EGFR changes. The goal is to see if it is safe and may help shrink the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03191149RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib for lung cancer with an EGFR exon 20 change
This Phase 2 study tests osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have an EGFR exon 20 insertion. It aims to see how well osimertinib works for this specific EGFR mutation and how safe it is.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06686771RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation for limited growth in advanced lung cancer on immunotherapy
This trial tests whether giving high-precision radiation to a few spots that are growing during immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) can help people with advanced lung cancer. It aims to see if treating these limited areas of resistance can extend the time the cancer stays under control.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04410796RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib alone or with chemo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests whether osimertinib alone is as good as osimertinib plus chemotherapy for lung cancers that have a specific EGFR mutation. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds and slows growth in people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06032052RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for older adults with metastatic lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy for people 65 or older with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has not been treated before and expresses PD-L1. It aims to see if this treatment can help control the cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 65 years+ - NCT07511413Recruiting
Monitoring health in head, neck, lung & rectal cancer
This trial is studying how a monitoring method (bioimpedance) works for people with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer who are about to start standard treatment. It may help doctors track your health better during therapy.
Candiolo, Torino (TO)Ages 18 years+ - NCT07514754Recruiting
Immunonutrition support during cancer treatment
This study tests whether special nutritional support (called immunonutrition) helps patients with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer who are receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. The goal is to see if it improves how well treatment works and how you feel during and after cancer care.
Candiolo, Torino (TO)Ages 18 years+ - NCT04198766RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New OX40 immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (INBRX-106) alone or with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) for adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help the immune system fight cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06406608Recruiting
Personalized drug test for drug-resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a new way to choose your next treatment by growing a mini version of your tumor (an organoid) in a lab and seeing which drugs kill it best. It is for people with drug-resistant non-small cell lung cancer who have already tried at least two standard treatments.

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.
