Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–89 - NCT06369181Recruiting
Study on cell changes in lung cancer with RB1/TP53 gene changes
This trial looks at what happens when certain types of non-small cell lung cancer—those with changes in the RB1 and TP53 genes—start to change into another type of lung cancer after treatment. It may help find better ways to treat this specific kind of cancer in the future.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06379087RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation, immunotherapy and targeted therapy for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy before surgery, followed by the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab and the targeted therapy drug anlotinib after surgery, for people with stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients whose tumors can be removed surgically.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06388031RecruitingPhase 2
Re-trying immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer after long-term success
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy again can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease stayed stable for at least 2 years on their first immunotherapy but then started growing. It aims to see if a second course of treatment can work again.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06394674RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose furmonertinib for lung cancer after osimertinib stops working
This trial tests a higher dose of a targeted therapy called furmonertinib for people with advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to a previous drug called osimertinib. It may help if you have a certain EGFR mutation and your cancer has grown outside the brain.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06399926Recruiting
Pemetrexed via Ommaya for lung cancer in brain lining
This study tests whether a drug called pemetrexed, given directly into the fluid around your brain through a small implanted device, is safe and effective for treating lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain. It is for people whose cancer has a specific genetic change (EGFR, ALK, or ROS1) and who have already tried standard targeted pills that no longer control their disease.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06403111RecruitingPhase 2
FMT with immunotherapy and chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), immunotherapy, and chemotherapy as a first treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that does not have a driver gene mutation. The goal is to see if adding FMT can help the immune system fight the cancer better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,033 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.
