Recruiting studies
- NCT06071013RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nintedanib plus EGFR inhibitor for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—nintedanib and an EGFR inhibitor—for people with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has stopped responding to their first EGFR inhibitor treatment. The goal is to see if adding nintedanib can help control the cancer again.
TaichungAges 20–70 - NCT06230445RecruitingPhase 3

This trial tests whether listening to music in the hospital can help reduce distress and pain after surgery for lung cancer. If you are having a minimally invasive surgery (keyhole surgery) to remove part of your lung, you may be able to join.
Bellinzona, Canton TicinoAges 18 years+ - NCT06684418Recruiting
AI to find hidden cancer spread in early lung cancer
This trial uses artificial intelligence to predict if early-stage lung cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to help doctors make better treatment decisions for patients with stage 1 lung cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06687408Recruiting
Minimally invasive sleeve lobectomy for lung cancer
This study looks at a type of lung cancer surgery called sleeve lobectomy done with small incisions (minimally invasive). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with non-small cell lung cancer that requires removing a part of the lung and reconnecting the airway.
HangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06693336RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant chemotherapy trial for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug called SMS001 (a form of paclitaxel) after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT06718309RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy with targeted radiation before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation before surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07038096RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ZG006 and ZG005 for lung and neuroendocrine cancers
This trial tests two new drugs, ZG006 and ZG005, for people with advanced small cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine carcinoma. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07070011Recruiting
Studying tiny particles in blood to predict treatment response in lung cancer
This trial looks at small particles called extracellular vesicles in your blood to see if they can help predict how well immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy will work for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to find markers that could guide future treatment decisions.
ShanghaiAges 45–80 - NCT07098338RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combos for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests new drug combinations for people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Depending on your PD-L1 level and genetic profile, you may be placed in one of three groups to see if these combinations help shrink or control your tumor.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07243873Recruiting
Improving lung cancer diagnosis with synthetic PET scans
This study uses a computer-generated PET scan from your CT scan to help doctors diagnose and plan treatment for non-small cell lung cancer more precisely. It is observational, meaning no new treatments are given—just extra imaging analysis.

This trial looks at using a scope with an ultrasound tip (EBUS-TBNA) to take small tissue samples from lymph nodes to figure out the cancer stage before stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The goal is to help confirm how far the cancer has spread so SBRT can be planned appropriately.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02889666RecruitingPhase 1
Chemo plus surgery for recurrent lung cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests whether giving chemotherapy along with surgery is safe and tolerable for people with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. It may help guide future treatment for cancer that has returned, especially if it has not spread to distant sites.

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.
