Recruiting studies
- NCT06741085RecruitingPhase 2
Radiosurgery plus standard care for lung cancer spread to brain
This trial tests if adding stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation) to standard drug therapy is safe and effective for people with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to improve control of brain metastases while continuing targeted therapy.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07668037Recruiting
Understanding long-term survival in NSCLC immunotherapy
This study looks at patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who received immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors) alone or in combination with other treatments. It aims to understand why some patients survive longer than others by analyzing their medical data and using AI to predict outcomes.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07649629Recruiting
Blood test to help diagnose advanced lung cancer
This study tests whether a blood test (liquid biopsy) can help doctors better understand your lung cancer and plan your treatment. You'll have a blood sample taken alongside standard biopsies to see if the blood test provides useful information about your cancer.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06563388RecruitingPhase 3
SABR for limited metastatic cancer (ID-COMET trial)
This study tests a precise radiation technique called SABR to treat cancer that has spread to a few spots. It aims to see if this approach can help control the cancer better than usual treatment, especially for lung, prostate, colorectal, or other solid tumors with limited spread.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 1 year+ - NCT07339644Recruiting
Lung-Sparing Radiation Guided by Breathing Scans
This study tests a new way to plan radiation for lung tumors. It uses a breathing-guided scan to map healthy and unhealthy parts of the lungs, so radiation can avoid working lung tissue. The goal is to see if this approach spares more healthy lung while still treating the cancer.
ChongqingAges 18–85 - NCT05724264Recruiting
Lung cancer screening using CT and blood marker tests
This study tests whether combining low-dose chest CT scans with blood “biomarker” tests can help find lung cancer earlier in people at higher risk. You may be asked to have scans and blood tests and then attend follow-up visits over time.
SingaporeAges 50–80 - NCT07393555RecruitingPhase 2
Treatment for advanced lung cancer after targeted therapy and chemotherapy
This study tests a new treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to targeted therapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to find a treatment that works better for people whose cancer has certain genetic changes.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06031688RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for lung cancer with a MET gene change
This trial tests a targeted drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called MET exon 14 skipping. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth, and may help people who have or haven't had prior treatment.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 minutes+ - NCT06943521RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MT-4561 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MT-4561 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06616584RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cemiplimab plus standard care for advanced lung cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab to standard treatment can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already progressed after both platinum chemo and a prior immunotherapy. It is designed for those who responded to their first immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks before the cancer started growing again.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT00068003Enrolling by invitation
Harvesting Cancer Cells for Experimental Treatment
This trial collects immune cells from cancer patients or healthy volunteers to develop new experimental cancer treatments. Researchers will take a sample of your tumor or blood cells, grow them in the lab, and study how to use them to fight your cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07014202RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation therapy after chemo-immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving focused radiation to remaining spots of lung cancer (after standard treatment) can help prevent cancer from growing back. It may be an option if you have had 4-6 cycles of chemo plus immunotherapy and still have a few active spots.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07776353Recruiting
Understanding weight loss in advanced cancer
This study looks at how weight loss and muscle loss affect people with advanced cancer. It aims to find different types of weight loss to better guide treatment and care.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06422143RecruitingPhase 3
Keytruda with or without Sac-TMT for advanced squamous lung cancer
This trial tests the combination of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with or without a new drug, sacituzumab tirumotecan (Sac-TMT), as initial treatment for advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if adding Sac-TMT after initial treatment helps keep cancer under control longer.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06169956Recruiting
Study of nivolumab with chemo before lung cancer surgery
This study looks at how well the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) works when given with standard chemotherapy before surgery for people with a certain type of lung cancer that has not spread. It may help shrink the tumor before surgery.
Kempten (Allgäu), BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06300177RecruitingPhase 3
New targeted pill vs. chemotherapy for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted pill (D-1553) against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (KRAS G12C mutation) whose cancer has stopped responding to first-line immunotherapy and chemotherapy.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06256237RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (toripalimab and JS004) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink limited-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to find better ways to treat this cancer before surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06244264Recruiting
Using your own blood during spine surgery for lung cancer

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.
