Recruiting studies
- NCT07122687RecruitingPhase 2
IBI363 or Pembrolizumab with Chemo before Lung Cancer Surgery
This trial tests two different drug combinations (IBI363 plus chemo versus pembrolizumab plus chemo) given before surgery for people with a specific type of lung cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better at shrinking the tumor and helping patients recover.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT05363319Recruiting
Cemiplimab study in adults with advanced lung cancer
This observational study looks at how well cemiplimab works and how safe it is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer in everyday care in Europe. It mainly follows patients already prescribed cemiplimab, and asks them to complete questionnaires.
Klagenfurt, CarinthiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06043817RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of STX-721 for advanced lung cancer with EGFR or HER2 changes
This trial tests a new drug, STX-721, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change (EGFR or HER2 exon 20 insertion). The study aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06582940RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided radiation for lung cancer with brain metastases
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation to brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer, using MRI scans to guide the treatment and reduce the area exposed. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective while possibly lowering side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06634979Recruiting
Selective lymph node removal for small lung cancers
This trial compares removing fewer lymph nodes during surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It is for people with a small tumor (2 cm or less) that has both solid and ground-glass parts.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06810544RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of TNG456 for tumors with MTAP loss
This trial tests a new drug called TNG456, alone or with another drug (abemaciclib), for people whose tumors have lost the MTAP gene. It aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07182214Recruiting
Lung cancer detection using a blood test for early signs
This study uses a blood test to look for tiny genetic markers (miRNA and DNA methylation) that may help detect lung cancer early. If you have a lung nodule or mass found on a CT scan and haven't had treatment yet, you may be able to join.
HsinchuAges 18 years+ - NCT03392233RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for spinal metastases causing significant pain
This trial tests a focused form of radiation (stereotactic body radiation) to treat cancer spread to the spine, especially when it causes substantial pain. It may help shrink or control the spinal spots while limiting damage to surrounding tissues.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07181473RecruitingPhase 1
Safety of TJ101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called TJ101 for people with advanced solid tumors who have tried standard treatments or have no standard options. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03422302Recruiting
CPAP or breath-holding to reduce lung tumor motion
This study looks at whether using a CPAP breathing device or deep breath-holding can keep lung tumors from moving during targeted radiation. The goal is to improve safety and accuracy of stereotactic body radiation for lung cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06532799RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TIL therapy with pembrolizumab for advanced stomach and esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of immune cells from your tumor (TILs) and an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) for stomach or esophageal cancer that has spread or returned after other treatments. It may help if standard options have failed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–90 - NCT03755739RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Checkpoint cancer drug given into or near tumors
This trial studies whether giving immunotherapy “checkpoint inhibitor” medicine directly into the tumor area (and/or the artery feeding it), along with a chemotherapy-style drug, can work better for advanced solid tumors. It aims to boost the immune system’s ability to attack cancer while still being safe for people with measurable tumors.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06814496RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy combo for DLL3-positive cancers
This trial combines radiation with an immunotherapy drug called tarlatamab to treat cancers that make a protein called DLL3. The goal is to see if this combination works better than either treatment alone for people with certain types of lung cancer and other tumors that have not responded to prior therapy.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–99 - NCT03175224RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug APL-101 for lung or other tumors with MET changes
This Phase 2 study tests APL-101 to shrink advanced cancers that have certain MET-related changes, including specific MET mutations, MET gene amplification, or MET fusions. It may help people whose tumors have run out of standard treatment options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07038343RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AVZO-1418, either alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective against certain types of cancer.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06312137RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab with or without another drug for lung cancer after surgery
This trial tests adding a new drug (sacituzumab tirumotecan) to pembrolizumab for people with non-small cell lung cancer that did not completely disappear after initial treatment and surgery. The goal is to see if the combination works better than pembrolizumab alone.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06449313RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery for stage 3 disease
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery can help shrink stage 3 lung cancer and improve outcomes. The goal is to make the tumor easier to remove and possibly lower the chance of it coming back.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04852588Recruiting
Sample chest lymph nodes during treatment for advanced lung cancer
This study checks lymph nodes in the chest (using a camera-guided test) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are getting curative-intent radiation. The trial may help doctors better confirm how far the cancer has spread and guide the best radiation treatment plan.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06105177Recruiting
Using blood tests to guide lung cancer care
This trial uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to find tumor DNA in people suspected of having lung cancer. The goal is to learn if this test can help doctors make better treatment decisions without needing a tissue sample.

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.
