Recruiting studies
- NCT07830342RecruitingPhase 1
Study of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy that uses your own immune cells (TILs) to fight lung cancer. If you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer and standard treatments haven't worked, this treatment might help your immune system attack the cancer more effectively.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05532696RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ABT-101 for advanced solid tumors and HER2-mutant lung cancer
This study tests ABT-101, a new experimental treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors. A second part specifically looks at people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has HER2 mutations, to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT03769129Recruiting
Pembrolizumab plus lung ablation for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether combining pembrolizumab (an immune treatment) with a lung ablation procedure can be safer and more effective for advanced non-small cell lung cancer after standard first treatment fails or the cancer comes back. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05060796RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T treatment for advanced lung cancer with EGFR and CXCL13 signs
This early-phase study tests a custom CAR-T cell therapy made to target EGFR in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You may be eligible if your tumor has specific lab markers (EGFR and CXCL13) and if your overall heart, liver, kidney, and blood counts can safely support treatment.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT04952272RecruitingPhase 1
Shots into the tumor to boost the immune system
This Phase 1 study tests an injection given directly into an advanced solid tumor to help the immune system better recognize and attack cancer. It may help people with advanced solid tumors, but the goal at this early stage is mainly to check safety and how the treatment works.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07817329Recruiting
Nutritional support for advanced lung cancer patients
This trial tests whether providing extra nutritional support to people with advanced lung cancer before they start their first chemotherapy or other treatment can improve their health. The goal is to see if good nutrition helps patients tolerate treatment better and maintain their strength.
Peschiera del Garda, VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT07823855Recruiting
Faster radiation scheduling for aggressive non-small cell lung cancer
This trial studies a new way of giving radiation therapy to the chest for lung cancer that is growing quickly. The approach uses a special schedule to damage the cancer more effectively, which might improve how well the treatment works.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07818135Recruiting
Comparing two robotic surgery methods for removing lung cancer
This study compares two different ways of doing robotic lung surgery to remove cancer. It looks at whether using one method (with an extra opening) is better than the standard method for people with early-stage lung cancer that can be removed.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06485544RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests adding a drug called adebrelimab (a type of immunotherapy) before surgery for people with early-stage small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–75 - NCT06306456RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
GH21 combined with osimertinib for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (GH21) combined with the targeted therapy osimertinib (Tagrisso) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation and has stopped responding to a similar treatment. The goal is to see if the combination can help when the cancer has progressed.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07809763Recruiting
Home exercise program with wearable device for older adults before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a home-based exercise and health program that uses a wearable device and smartphone app to help older adults prepare for lung cancer surgery. The goal is to improve fitness and recovery before and after your operation.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 65–85 - NCT07801430Recruiting
Extra lymph node removal in left lung cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of doing lung cancer surgery for early-stage tumors in the left lung. Some participants will have more lymph nodes removed (station 4L) and others will not, to see if the extra removal helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Shanghai, XuhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06295926RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new immunotherapy with chemo-radiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial is testing whether adding the immunotherapy drug serplulimab to standard chemotherapy and radiation can help people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It is for those who have not had any previous treatment for their cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06517953RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two targeted pills for rare EGFR lung cancer
This study tests two oral targeted drugs, Befotertinib and Icotinib, in people with advanced lung cancer (NSCLC) that has one of three uncommon EGFR mutations. The trial aims to see how well these pills work when used as the first treatment for your cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06534489Recruiting
Surgery for lung cancer after chemo or targeted therapy
This trial tests whether combining chemo or targeted therapy before surgery can help people with non-small cell lung cancer that may require removing a whole lung. We want to see if this approach makes the surgery safer and more effective.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07759856RecruitingPhase 2
Natural killer cells plus immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests combining natural killer (NK) cells with an immunotherapy drug as a maintenance treatment after standard chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if this combination can help keep the cancer from growing.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06348927RecruitingPhase 2
Sunvozertinib plus anlotinib for first-line EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two oral drugs (sunvozertinib and anlotinib) as a first treatment for advanced lung cancer with certain EGFR mutations plus other gene changes. It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.

Checking if immunotherapy after surgery helps prevent lung cancer return
This trial is for people with non-small cell lung cancer who have already had immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery, followed by complete removal of the tumor. It tests whether continuing immunotherapy after surgery (adjuvant treatment) can lower the risk of cancer coming back compared to just watching and waiting.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07745881Recruiting

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.
