Bone Density Changes During Cancer Immunotherapy
This study tracks how a type of cancer treatment called anti-PD-1 immunotherapy affects bone strength over time. Researchers want to understand whether this treatment causes bone density loss and help develop ways to protect bones during cancer care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06378892RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chemo plus lorlatinib for ALK+ lung cancer
This trial tests combining chemotherapy with lorlatinib for people with ALK-positive lung cancer that has spread outside the brain while on lorlatinib. The goal is to see if adding chemo can help control the cancer when it starts growing again.
AvianoAges 18 years+ - NCT06734702RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy before chemo-radiation for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new approach for people with stage III lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. You would receive immunotherapy (to help your immune system fight cancer) plus chemotherapy first, then standard chemo-radiation, and finally more immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this sequence works better than standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05053802RecruitingPhase 2
Microwave tumor ablation plus immunotherapy for multiple lung cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether combining microwave ablation (a procedure to destroy lung tumors) with an immune checkpoint inhibitor can control multiple early lung cancers safely. It also aims to see how well the immune treatment helps after ablation, in people whose cancers have not spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–79 - NCT05195385Recruiting
Lung cancer screening CT scan for women
This study checks how well a low-dose CT scan screening program works for women at higher risk of lung cancer. If you qualify, you’ll be screened and asked to return for follow-ups for about 2 years.
ParisAges 50–74 - NCT05389774Recruiting
Testing an AI tool that predicts lung cancer risk from CT scans
This study tests whether Optellum’s AI prediction tool can better identify which lung nodules found on CT scans are more likely to be cancer. You may be asked to provide specific types of CT images so the tool can be evaluated.

Study of focused radiation after PD-1 treatment helped non-lung cancer
This observational study looks at how stereotactic (high-precision) radiation works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that is stable after PD-1 antibody treatment (sometimes with chemotherapy). It may help doctors better understand which patients benefit from this next treatment step and what side effects to expect.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05874401RecruitingPhase 4
Trilaciclib added to topotecan for advanced small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether adding trilaciclib (a medicine given with chemotherapy) can improve outcomes for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who are being treated with topotecan. It compares trilaciclib versus a placebo (inactive pill) while you receive topotecan.
SevilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05987644RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Timing of brain radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer with brain mets
This trial tests whether it is better to delay brain radiation or give it right away in people with ALK-positive lung cancer that has spread to the brain and is causing few or no symptoms. If you are starting alectinib, you may be able to join and help find the best timing for radiation.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06467500RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab plus chemo for lung cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests a new drug called cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer who have already tried and failed immunotherapy. It aims to see if this combination can help when standard immunotherapy no longer works.
YichangAges 18–75 - NCT06604689Recruiting
AI-guided brain radiation for EGFR-mutant lung cancer with brain mets
This study uses AI to help doctors decide the best way to use brain radiation for people with EGFR-mutant lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to improve treatment planning and outcomes for those already taking a third-generation targeted therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06718972Recruiting
Lung cancer with brain lining spread: real-world treatment study
This study looks at how people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord are treated in real-world clinics in China. If you have received treatment for this spread since 2018, you may be able to help doctors learn what works best.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06829459RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo vs chemo for resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (Glumetinib and Osimertinib) against standard chemotherapy for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to initial targeted therapy. It may be an option if your tumor has a specific genetic change called MET amplification or overexpression.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07034391RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 inhibitor with denosumab and chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor), a bone-strengthening drug (denosumab), and chemotherapy for people with advanced or spread non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that does not have certain genetic changes. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and control the disease.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT07131670Recruiting
Tracking symptoms during lung cancer chemoradiation
This study uses an app to track symptoms like pain and fatigue in patients with advanced lung cancer receiving chemotherapy and radiation. The goal is to see if digital check-ins can improve care and quality of life.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06244771RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing FMC-376 for KRAS G12C mutated solid tumors
This study tests a new targeted pill called FMC-376 for people whose cancer has a specific KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth when other treatments have stopped working.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06937112Recruiting

Kaohsiung, TaiwanAges 18–80 - NCT06503146RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging tracer for detecting various cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent, [18F]FAPI-74, which might help detect certain cancers more clearly. The scan looks for a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that is often found in tumors. If you have one of the listed cancers and are about to start treatment, this study could help doctors see where the cancer is and how it responds to therapy.

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.
