Taletrectinib for ROS1+ lung cancer with brain spread
This study gathers real-world experience with the targeted drug taletrectinib for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (ROS1-positive) that has spread to the brain. Participation may help doctors better understand how well the drug works in everyday practice.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07003321RecruitingPhase 2
Testing HRS-4508 for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called HRS-4508 for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments or cannot tolerate them. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07003490Recruiting
Lung cancer surgery with removal of lymph nodes on the other side
This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes from the opposite side of the chest during surgery can help people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in the middle of the chest. It may offer a more thorough treatment for patients who are healthy enough for surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06943820RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AK129 combination therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (including AK129) for people with advanced solid tumors, specifically lung cancer, head and neck cancer, or colorectal cancer. It is for those who have already tried a platinum chemo and a PD-1/PD-L1 drug but their cancer got worse.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06974370RecruitingPhase 2
Avoiding brain radiation when chemo or other drugs work
This trial tests whether some people with brain metastases from solid tumors can safely skip radiation if their cancer drugs (like targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or certain chemotherapies) shrink the brain tumors. You will get MRI scans to see if the drugs are working.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT06929936RecruitingPhase 2
Trilaciclib plus docetaxel for advanced lung cancer (second-line+)
This trial tests a new drug combination (trilaciclib plus docetaxel) for people with advanced lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer has progressed after at least one prior treatment. The goal is to see if adding trilaciclib helps the chemotherapy work better with fewer side effects.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06970639RecruitingPhase 3
Study comparing new targeted drug plus chemo vs osimertinib for lung cancer with brain tumors
This trial tests a new targeted therapy called furmonertinib combined with chemotherapy against the current standard osimertinib for people with a specific type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. It aims to find a better treatment option for patients whose cancer cells have a common EGFR mutation.
Guangdong, GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06962865RecruitingPhase 2
RC108 and Furmonertinib for first-line treatment of EGFR-mutated and MET-positive NSCLC
This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, RC108 and Furmonertinib, can help people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific genetic changes (EGFR mutation and MET positivity) and cannot be removed by surgery. It is for people who have not yet received treatment for their advanced or metastatic cancer.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06969014Recruiting
Microwave ablation for lung tumors via bronchoscopy
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure using microwave energy to destroy small lung tumors, guided by a thin tube through the airways. It may be an option if you can't have standard surgery or radiation, or choose not to.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06924398RecruitingPhase 2
Post-surgery targeted therapy for remaining lung nodules in EGFR-mutant NSCLC
This trial tests whether a targeted therapy pill (EGFR-TKI) can control small spots in the other lung after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It's for people whose cancer has a specific EGFR gene change and who still have suspicious spots in the opposite lung after one side is removed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06956001RecruitingPhase 3
Testing firmanertinib vs chemo for first-line lung cancer with specific EGFR mutations
This trial compares a new targeted therapy pill (firmanertinib) to standard chemotherapy in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have a specific EGFR mutation (PACC or L861Q). If you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer matches these mutations, this study may offer a more convenient oral option.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06953843RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and Immunotherapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation and immunotherapy to see if it can make the immune system attack cancer throughout the body in people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to many places. It's for those whose cancer does not have certain genetic changes and who have not had uncontrolled brain metastases.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06951646RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment for advanced lung cancer with long response to first-line therapy
This trial tests a combination of ivonescimab and docetaxel for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have had a long response (11-15 months without the cancer getting worse) to first-line immunotherapy. The goal is to see if adjusting treatment based on ctDNA-MRD levels can improve outcomes.
ChangshaAges 18–75 - NCT06951464RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy before surgery for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (BL-B01D1 and almonertinib) given before surgery to shrink EGFR-mutated lung cancer. The goal is to make surgery more effective and possibly improve long-term outcomes.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06950515Recruiting
Anesthesia vs sedation for lung nodule biopsy
This trial compares general anesthesia with conscious sedation during a special ultrasound-guided lung biopsy. It aims to find which approach is safer and more comfortable for diagnosing small lung lesions.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06947694RecruitingPhase 2
Testing radioimmunotherapy combinations for lung cancer with metastases
This trial explores whether combining radiation therapy with immunotherapy can trigger an immune response that shrinks tumors throughout the body (abscopal effect) in people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to 3 to 6 other sites. It tests different patterns of these treatments to see which works best.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06942143RecruitingPhase 1

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.
