Recruiting studies
- NCT05837767Recruiting
Radiation study for tumors that spread to soft tissue areas
This study looks at how a planned form of palliative radiation therapy treats certain solid cancers that have spread outside the brain to larger soft-tissue areas. It may help shrink tumors and relieve symptoms, but it also asks you to meet specific safety and treatment-timing rules.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06224387RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, CTS2190, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to or cannot tolerate standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Luoyang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07610798RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing INV-8989 for Advanced Cancers With KRAS G12D Mutation
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called INV-8989 designed to target a specific genetic mutation (KRAS G12D) found in some advanced solid cancers. The study will evaluate whether the drug is safe and if it can help shrink tumors in patients who haven't responded to standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05587439Recruiting
Study of inherited genetic risk in lung and related cancers
This study looks for inherited (family-passed) genetic changes that may raise the risk of lung cancer and related thoracic cancers. It may help people and families understand their genetic risk by collecting health information and sometimes specimens from patients and relatives.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04105270RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus chemo with RMT for lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a new treatment plan that combines RMT with durvalumab and chemotherapy in people with untreated advanced lung adenocarcinoma. It aims to improve outcomes by helping the immune system and fighting cancer cells together.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04696575RecruitingPhase 2
Lamivudine added to chemoimmunotherapy for extensive-stage lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding lamivudine to standard chemoimmunotherapy can improve outcomes for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this combination controls the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07203053RecruitingPhase 2
Tarlatamab for advanced small cell lung cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a new drug called tarlatamab for people with advanced small cell lung cancer that has worsened after one prior round of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy. It's designed for patients who are still active but may need extra support (ECOG 2).
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06957314Recruiting
Hospital-at-home for people receiving Tarlatamab
This study tests giving hospital-type care at home for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who are receiving the drug Tarlatamab. It aims to see if patients can safely receive their treatment at home instead of in the hospital.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06774963RecruitingPhase 1

Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01803542RecruitingPhase 2
Stereotactic radiation for lung metastases or early lung tumors
This trial studies a precise, high-dose radiation technique (SBRT) to treat tumors in the lungs. It may help control cancer in people who either have early-stage lung cancer that is not fully operable or have limited lung metastases from other cancers.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07090499RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PF-08046876 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new medicine, PF-08046876, for people with advanced cancers of the bladder, lung, head and neck, esophagus, or pancreas. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works against these cancers.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06008730RecruitingPhase 2
Proton beam radiation after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if proton beam radiation therapy is safe and effective after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the chest. It is for people who have already had chemotherapy before their surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05918783RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a light-activated therapy in peripheral lung tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests padeliporfin, a light-activated medicine, delivered to lung tumors using robotic bronchoscopy. It may help people with small, peripheral lung cancer lesions by targeting the tumor without open surgery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07632664Recruiting
New treatment model for older lung cancer surgery patients
This study tests a new approach to help older adults (65+) with early-stage lung cancer who are candidates for surgery. The goal is to improve outcomes by using a special assessment to understand each patient's overall health before and after the operation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT05525338RecruitingPhase 4
Test standard vs adjusted alectinib dose using blood levels
This trial compares the usual dose of alectinib with a modified dose chosen by checking alectinib blood levels. It aims to see whether adjusting the dose based on blood testing can work as well (and possibly be better tolerated) for people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
Villejuif, Val-de-MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT05543954RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/CT scan test to see lung cancer using a new tracer
This early-phase study tests a special whole-body scan (PET/CT) that uses injected tracers to help show where lung cancer may be. It may help researchers see tumors more clearly and compare different tracers during the same time window.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05948865RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests CPO301 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have worsened or cannot be treated with standard options. It aims to find the safest dose and understand how the treatment affects tumors, especially in certain lung cancer groups.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06634966RecruitingPhase 3
Lung cancer surgery study for specific nodule types
This trial is testing a lung-sparing surgery called segmentectomy for people with a certain type of lung cancer nodule. It aims to see if this surgery is a good option for those with solid-dominant nodules that are 2 to 3 cm in size and have not spread to lymph nodes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07301411Recruiting
Freezing lung tumors guided by a breathing tube camera
This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a thin tube with a camera (bronchoscope) to guide the freezing probe. It is for people with early-stage lung cancer or limited lung metastases who cannot or prefer not to have surgery or radiation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06923618Recruiting
Lung Cancer and Aging in Older Adults
This trial looks at aging-related changes in older adults (70+) with early-stage lung cancer who are planning to have surgery. The goal is to better understand how these changes might affect recovery and outcomes, which could help improve care for future patients.

CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05492682RecruitingPhase 1
First-in-human treatment for cancer using a drug injected into tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests PeptiCRAd-1, a treatment injected into a tumor, to see how safe it is and whether it can shrink cancers. It studies people whose cancer has come back or can’t be treated with standard options.

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.
