Recruiting studies
- NCT06475300RecruitingPhase 2
BL-B01D1 plus immunotherapy for advanced lung and throat cancers
This trial tests a new combination treatment (BL-B01D1 plus a PD-1 inhibitor) for people with advanced lung cancer or nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective for patients whose cancer has not responded to earlier treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04335292RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib then chemotherapy for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment sequence starting with osimertinib, then using chemotherapy after it. It is meant for people with EGFR-mutated advanced lung cancer whose disease has come back or progressed, including a “rechallenge” attempt with osimertinib.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04806412Recruiting
Gene testing in lung cancer fluid samples
This study looks at fluid from around the lungs (pleural fluid) to find gene changes (oncodrivers) in people with non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this fluid can replace a tissue biopsy for testing.

Oral drug trial for EGFR-mutated lung cancer after prior treatment
This trial studies an oral (by mouth) EGFR-blocking medicine (DZD9008) in people with advanced lung cancer that has EGFR mutations. It’s for cancers that have grown despite standard treatment or couldn’t be tolerated, and aims to control the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.

Study drug vs docetaxel for advanced lung cancer after prior treatment
This Phase 3 trial compares AL2846 pills plus TQB2450 injections against standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You may qualify if your cancer has progressed after platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and if certain tumor genetic tests are negative.

Testing two study drugs for advanced lung cancer and other tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of two experimental medicines in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see whether the drugs can shrink tumors and improve outcomes, while carefully checking safety and eligibility.

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06731907RecruitingPhase 2
Keytruda with or without chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (Keytruda with or without chemotherapy) to see if it works better for advanced lung cancer. It's for people who haven't had immunotherapy or chemotherapy for their cancer that has spread.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06931717RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after lung cancer surgery for those not getting chemo
This trial tests if the drug cemiplimab can prevent non-small cell lung cancer from coming back after surgery. It's for people whose tumors have PD-L1 levels of at least 1% and who are not receiving standard chemotherapy after surgery.
ViennaAges 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.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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+ - NCT07086456RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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.

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.
