Recruiting studies
- NCT05076760RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a cancer-killing virus with standard treatments
This Phase 1 trial tests MEM-288, an oncolytic (cancer-killing) virus, either alone or combined with standard cancer medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s designed to see how the treatment works and how safe it is in different cancer types and after specific prior therapies.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07670312RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing XYA02 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called XYA02 for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, ovarian, stomach, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer) that have come back or not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if XYA02 can shrink tumors or slow their growth, and to find the best dose.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07482475Recruiting
COPD study for people getting lung cancer screening
This study looks at COPD in people who are already getting lung cancer screening. If you have COPD or a high risk for it, joining this observational trial may help researchers learn more about your condition.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 50–80 - NCT07660055RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (called 177Lu-DWJ155) that targets and kills cancer cells, along with a similar imaging agent (68Ga-DWJ155) used to see where the drug goes in the body. It is for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies.

Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07469709Recruiting
Cancer risk study using genetics and monitoring
This study looks at genetic and other factors in people with certain cancers to better understand personal cancer risks and improve monitoring. It may help find ways to detect changes earlier.
Candiolo, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT01385722Enrolling by invitation

This study looks at the genetic changes (molecular analysis) in certain cancers of the chest. It may help doctors learn more about what drives these cancers and how they might be diagnosed or treated in the future.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07132918RecruitingPhase 2
Heart-Sparing Radiation for Thoracic Cancers
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation for cancers in the chest area (like lung, esophageal, or thymus cancers) that aims to protect the heart from high doses of radiation. It is for people who need daily radiation for at least three weeks and who are expected to live more than a year.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04916990Recruiting

BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07175077Recruiting
7T MRI scan to find tiny brain metastases in small-cell lung cancer
This trial uses a powerful 7T MRI scanner to detect very small brain metastases in people with small-cell lung cancer who choose not to get preventive brain radiation. The goal is to see if this advanced scan can find hidden spots in the brain that regular MRIs miss.

Combination therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and two targeted drugs (surufatinib and tislelizumab) for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach works better than standard treatment.

Comparing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer with a specific gene change
This trial tests a new drug called Navlimetostat combined with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy versus a placebo with the same standard treatments. It is for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific missing gene (MTAP deletion) and who have not had prior treatment for their advanced disease.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07039994Recruiting
Early palliative care for advanced lung cancer using an e-health system
This study tests whether an online platform can help deliver early palliative care to people with advanced lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve quality of life and manage symptoms from the start of treatment.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07010263RecruitingPhase 3
AK112 for limited-stage small cell lung cancer after chemoradiation
This study tests a new drug called AK112 (a bispecific antibody that blocks both PD-1 and VEGF) as a consolidation treatment to help prevent your limited-stage small cell lung cancer from coming back after you've finished chemoradiation. It's for people whose cancer has not grown following concurrent chemotherapy and radiation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,007 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.
