- NCT07178795RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs standard care for HER2-mutant lung cancer
This study is testing a new drug (BL-M07D1) compared to a standard combination of pembrolizumab and chemotherapy for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (non-squamous NSCLC) that has a HER2 mutation and has not been treated before. The goal is to see which treatment works better.

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07138755RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1, chemo, and adaptive radiation for stage 3 lung cancer
This study tests if adding an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) to chemotherapy and specially planned radiation works better for stage 3 lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It may be an option if you have not had previous treatment for this cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07131163Recruiting
Study of lung cancer patients who got chemo-immunotherapy before planned surgery but didn't have surgery
This study looks at patients with stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer who started chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before planned surgery but did not actually have surgery. It aims to understand why surgery was canceled and how patients did over time.
Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT07132190RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for growing brain tumors with same-day planning
This study tests whether a precise, one-day radiation treatment for brain tumors that are growing or in tricky spots can be effective with a smaller safety margin. It's designed for people whose brain tumors are changing quickly or sitting near areas of swelling or recent surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07131319RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Combination therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment combining stereotactic radiation (SFRT), the immunotherapy tislelizumab, and platinum chemotherapy for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that can't be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink or control the cancer better.

The goal is to see if this triple therapy can help the immune system fight the cancer more effectively.

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.
