Recruiting studies
- NCT06196008Recruiting
Exercise coaching for older adults having lung cancer surgery and their caregivers
This study tests if a telephone-based physical activity coach helps older adults (65+) recover better after lung cancer surgery compared to self-monitored activity. Caregivers can also join to learn how to support their loved one and improve their own well-being.

Long-term study of RATIONALE-307 trial participants
This study looks back at people who took part in the RATIONALE-307 trial for a type of lung cancer called squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to learn more about their health outcomes over time by only including those who were still alive when the original trial ended.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT07486219Recruiting
Lung MRI for staging tumors and nodes
This trial uses advanced lung MRI scans to get more detail on tumors and lymph nodes. It may help people with non-small cell lung cancer to get a clearer picture of their cancer stage without extra radiation.
PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT07623473Recruiting
Blood test to help identify lung nodules as cancer or benign
This study tests whether a simple blood test can accurately identify whether a lung nodule (small spot) found on imaging is cancer or harmless. If it works, it could help doctors avoid unnecessary procedures and speed up diagnosis.
Gentofte MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07629375Recruiting
Creating Research Models From Your Lung Cancer Tissue
This study collects lung cancer tissue samples from patients undergoing surgery to create laboratory models that help researchers test new treatments. Your participation helps advance personalized cancer medicine for future patients.
Rome, RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07060625Enrolling by invitation
Does a raised position help oxygen after lung surgery?
This study tests whether a slightly raised head-and-shoulders position (semi-recumbent) helps prevent low oxygen levels after lung surgery. If you are having a small-incision lung removal, it may help you breathe better after the operation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06419179Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Maintenance therapy for HRD-positive small-cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications, durvalumab and olaparib, can help keep your extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer from coming back after standard first-line treatment. It is for people whose tumors have a specific genetic feature called HRD.

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.
