Recruiting studies
- NCT06752395Enrolling by invitation
Freezing vs. forceps biopsy for small lung nodules
This trial compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a small lung nodule: traditional forceps (like tiny tweezers) versus a newer freezing method (cryobiopsy). It will help find out which technique is better at getting enough tissue for diagnosis with fewer side effects.
BusanAges 18 years+ - NCT05627960RecruitingPhase 1

Single dose radiation for early-stage or limited lung tumors
This trial tests how a single, high-dose radiation treatment (called SBRT) affects quality of life and outcomes for people with certain lung tumors. It's for adults with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer or a lung tumor that has spread from another cancer, as long as the tumor is small and in the outer part of the lung.
Montpellier, ICMAges 18 years+ - NCT06825078Recruiting

Tai Chi and aerobic exercise for mood and sleep in late lung cancer
This study tests whether Tai Chi and aerobic exercise can improve clusters of emotional symptoms—like anxiety, low mood, poor sleep, and fatigue—in people with late-stage non-small cell lung cancer. If you have these symptoms and are not already doing regular exercise programs, the trial may offer a structured way to feel better.

Silibinin after one brain metastasis surgery for lung or breast cancer
This trial studies silibinin, a natural substance, to help prevent brain metastasis from coming back after surgery. It is for people with lung (NSCLC) or breast cancer who have exactly one small brain metastasis that is fully removed and has a specific lab marker in the brain tissue.
GenovaAges 18–70 - NCT06247605RecruitingPhase 3
Study of AL8326 for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug called AL8326 for people with advanced small cell lung cancer who have already tried at least two other treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT06338683RecruitingPhase 3
Olanzapine for advanced upper digestive and lung cancer survival
This study tests whether a medicine called olanzapine can improve survival in people with advanced cancers of the upper digestive system or lungs. Olanzapine may help with appetite and weight, which are common problems in these cancers.
Xining, QinghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06360627Recruiting
Low-dose CT with contrast for lung checks
This study tests a special low-radiation CT scan with a contrast dye called Iomeron 400 to see if it works well for checking lung nodules or pneumonia.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05804786Recruiting
Study of bronchoscopy to diagnose lung spots
This study follows people who have lung “spots” that look like possible lung cancer and need a biopsy to figure out what they are. It uses a guided breathing-tube procedure to safely collect tissue so doctors can make a diagnosis.
DaeguAges 19 years+ - NCT06478108RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Software-guided multi-immunotherapy for solid tumors
This trial tests a new software-guided approach to deliver multiple immunotherapy drugs directly into the liver for people with solid tumors. It aims to see if this method can shrink tumors and improve survival.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06476249Recruiting
Cough risk after lung surgery via thoracoscope
This study looks at why some people develop a cough after having part of a lung removed through small cuts (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery). It may help identify who is more likely to have this side effect.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,009 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.
