Recruiting studies
- NCT06705465Recruiting
Rehabilitation for lung cancer patients
This trial tests a cross-sector rehabilitation program for people with non-small cell lung cancer (the most common type of lung cancer) who are starting their first cancer treatment. The goal is to see if this program helps you recover and feel better during and after treatment.

New PET Scan for Detecting Multiple Cancer Types
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a specialized imaging test) that may better detect certain cancers by looking for a specific marker found on many tumor types. The scan uses a new tracer called 18F-T2 to help doctors see cancer more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07558447Recruiting
Studying Tiny Particles to Predict Chemotherapy Nerve Damage
This study looks at tiny particles in your blood to understand and potentially predict nerve damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. Researchers will monitor you before, during, and after your cancer treatment to see if these particles can help warn doctors about this common side effect.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06742021Recruiting
MRI test to predict immune therapy response in lung cancer
This trial uses a special MRI technique (4D FreeBreathing) to see if it can predict how well immune therapy or targeted therapy works for your lung cancer. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you more quickly.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07543601Recruiting
Better COPD care for people evaluated for lung cancer
This trial tests whether people being checked for possible lung cancer can also get improved care for a breathing condition called COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It focuses on patients whose lung function tests show airflow problems.

DSP-0390 plus Atezolizumab for Small Cell Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new drug called DSP-0390 combined with atezolizumab (an immunotherapy) in patients with small cell lung cancer who have already completed initial chemotherapy treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help prevent the cancer from coming back or growing.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07538947Recruiting
Real-time imaging to diagnose lung cancer faster and safer
This trial tests a new camera tool (confocal laser endomicroscopy) that lets doctors see lung tissue in real-time during a biopsy procedure. The goal is to diagnose non-small cell lung cancer more quickly and safely than standard biopsies alone.

Pre-surgery targeted drug combo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (befotertinib) given before surgery, either with another targeted drug (bevacizumab) or with standard chemotherapy. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for people with a specific type of lung cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07510724Recruiting
Real-world study of Tislelizumab for lung cancer
This trial collects information on how well the immunotherapy drug Tislelizumab works for different types of lung cancer. It is meant for people whose doctor already decided to prescribe this drug as part of their care.
Sankt Pölten, Lower AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07508852RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET scan for small cell lung cancer diagnosis
This study uses a special PET scan (68Ga-PFD3) to take pictures of small cell lung cancer tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better diagnose and evaluate the cancer, which may guide treatment decisions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07499674RecruitingPhase 3
A lung cancer surgery study to test a special imaging dye
This trial tests a dye called abenacianine (VGT-309) that may help surgeons see cancer more clearly during lung surgery. It looks at whether the dye is safe and effective for identifying cancer in people having surgery to remove a lung lesion or mass.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07505173RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation plus osimertinib for brain metastases from EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests adding a brain-sparing radiation technique to the targeted therapy drug osimertinib for people with EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma that has spread to the brain and is causing symptoms. The goal is to see if this combination can better control the brain tumors while protecting the hippocampus, a key memory area.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06500312Recruiting
Lung cancer imaging and genetics study
This study looks at how CT scans of lung cancer can be linked to the tumor's biology and genetics. It aims to understand lung cancer better by combining imaging with lab results.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07489066RecruitingPhase 2
Study of PF-08634404 for early-stage or locally advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, PF-08634404, alone or with other treatments, for people with early-stage or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be surgically removed or has been treated with radiation and chemo. It aims to find if the drug helps before or after surgery or after standard treatments.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06778512Recruiting
Lung nodule study: using CT scans and breathing tests
This study looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.

Study of PF08634404 plus chemo for transformed small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new study drug (PF08634404) combined with standard chemotherapy for people whose non-small cell lung cancer has changed into a more aggressive form called small cell lung cancer. It hopes to improve outcomes by targeting the cancer in two ways.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06786468Recruiting
Early palliative care for advanced lung cancer
This study tests whether adding early palliative care from a specialist improves well-being for people starting treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It compares standard cancer care alone to standard care plus early palliative care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,009 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.
