Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05636969Recruiting
Pre-surgery exercise program for lung cancer treatment
This trial looks at whether a “prehabilitation” (guided exercise and fitness preparation) program helps people with non-small cell lung cancer get ready for surgery after starting treatment before surgery. It may help you tolerate treatment and surgery better if you can do the required fitness testing and procedures.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03778814RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized T-cell therapy for advanced lung or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment made from your own blood cells (T cells) to fight advanced lung cancer or other solid tumors. You may be eligible if your tumor can be biopsied and the lab can successfully prepare T cells that strongly recognize and attack your cancer.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06428422Recruiting
Probiotic supplement for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if taking a probiotic supplement along with your standard lung cancer treatment can help you live longer and respond better to therapy. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have not tried immunotherapy before.
KonyaAges 19–90 - NCT05766800RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 plus chemotherapy before surgery for advanced lung cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,010 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.
