Clinical trials
Lung cancer clinical trials
Cancer that begins in the lungs, often linked to smoking but also affecting non-smokers. We’re tracking 2,030 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT05669430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an anti-cancer drug alone and with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests GV20-0251 (an anti-cancer treatment) by itself and combined with pembrolizumab, to see how well it works and how safe it is. It is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have grown despite standard treatments, or where standard treatments aren’t an option.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06974981Recruiting
Using lung cancer screening to find and treat COPD
This study looks at how lung cancer screening can also help find and manage COPD, a lung condition that often goes undetected. If you are a current or former smoker and meet certain age and smoking history criteria, you may join to help improve screening and care for both lung cancer and COPD.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT07413042RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation drug combined with immunotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of a radioactive drug ([225Ac]Ac-DOTATATE) and an immunotherapy drug (Tislelizumab) as maintenance treatment for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) whose tumors have a specific protein (SSTR). If you have completed first-line treatment and your cancer shows SSTR on a PET scan, this study may be an option.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07534033RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotic LR607 for newly diagnosed lung cancer
This study tests whether a probiotic supplement (LR607) can help patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer—a common type of lung cancer. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that may help your immune system fight cancer alongside standard treatments.
GuangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT07548060RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combination for advanced lung cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests two newer drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and furmonertinib) together for patients with advanced non-squamous lung cancer whose tumors have specific genetic mutations and have stopped responding to earlier EGFR-targeted drugs and chemotherapy. The goal is to find out if this combination can help patients whose cancer has progressed.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07559786RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab after chemo-radiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether the drug adebrelimab (a type of immunotherapy) can help prevent your lung cancer from coming back after you finish chemotherapy and radiation. It is for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (cancer found only in one lung and nearby lymph nodes) that did not grow during initial treatment.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT07195695RecruitingPhase 3
Zongertinib after surgery for HER2-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a new pill, zongertinib, against standard of care for people with early-stage (II–IIIB) non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific HER2 mutation in the tyrosine kinase domain. The goal is to see if zongertinib can prevent the cancer from coming back after complete surgical removal.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07047573Recruiting
Better testing for lung nodules to tell benign from cancer
This study uses advanced testing methods on lung nodules to better tell if they are benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). It may help improve diagnosis for people scheduled for surgery to remove a lung nodule.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges Any age - NCT04933903RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant low-dose radiation plus immunotherapy before lung surgery
This trial tests whether giving low-dose focused radiation and two immunotherapy drugs before lung surgery can improve outcomes for people with operable, resectable non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer before surgery and help reduce the chance it comes back.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT07774520RecruitingPhase 2
Lower dose of lazertinib plus magnesium to prevent nerve damage in advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a lower starting dose of the targeted therapy drug lazertinib combined with magnesium supplements to prevent a common side effect (peripheral neuropathy) in people with advanced lung cancer caused by certain EGFR mutations. The goal is to see if this approach keeps the drug effective while reducing nerve damage symptoms like numbness or tingling.
Seoul, Gang-nam GuAges 19 years+ - NCT06767514RecruitingPhase 3
Ivonescimab for first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new drug called Ivonescimab as the first treatment for people with advanced (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have high levels of PD-L1 (a protein that helps cancer hide from the immune system). The goal is to see if it can help shrink or control the cancer.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04683250RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RET-targeting drug study for advanced cancers with RET changes
This trial tests an “RET-inhibitor” medicine (TAS0953/HM06) for advanced solid tumors that have RET gene changes. It may help shrink tumors by blocking cancer growth signals from the RET gene.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05317858RecruitingPhase 3
Open the brain’s blood barrier to treat lung cancer brain spots
This trial tests whether using focused ultrasound to temporarily open the brain’s blood barrier—plus standard immune therapy—can better treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. It aims to help medicines reach the brain tumor spots more effectively, while still using the usual lung cancer treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT07246863RecruitingPhase 2
Testing visugromab and nivolumab with or without docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (visugromab, nivolumab, and possibly docetaxel) for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that worsened after one prior treatment with an immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination helps control the cancer better.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04949464Recruiting
Smoking quit coaching plus lung scans for people with HIV
This study tests a behavior-change program to help people with HIV quit smoking, along with routine low-dose lung CT scans to find warning signs early. It’s a feasibility study, meaning the main goal is to see if the approach is practical and acceptable, and if people can follow through.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 45–80 - NCT06809764Recruiting
Study of T-DXd in Chinese patients with HER2m NSCLC
This study looks at how safe and effective the drug T-DXd (trastuzumab deruxtecan) is for Chinese patients with a specific type of lung cancer that has a HER2 mutation. It helps understand if this treatment works well in real-world settings.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07468071RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

This trial allows people who are already taking opnurasib in another Novartis study and seeing good results to keep receiving it. The goal is to let them continue treatment without interruption.
Sint-Niklaas, Oost VlaanderenAges 18–100 - NCT06616766RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of YH42946 for advanced cancer with HER2 or EGFR changes
This trial tests a new drug (YH42946) in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific changes in HER2 or EGFR genes and have stopped responding to standard therapies. The drug aims to target these genetic changes to slow or shrink the cancer. Participants will be monitored closely for safety and how well the drug works.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,030 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.
