Recruiting studies
- NCT06574295Recruiting
Lung surgery without a breathing tube
This study compares two types of lung surgery for people with lung nodules or lung cancer: one with a breathing tube (standard) and one without (non-intubated). The goal is to see if the non-intubated approach is safer and helps you recover faster.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06574347RecruitingPhase 2
Two targeted drugs for EGFR-mutated, MET-high lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (vebreltinib and PLB1004) as the first treatment for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer that has both an EGFR mutation and high MET protein. It may offer a new option for those who haven't had treatment yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06579196RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Trabedersen with pembrolizumab for newly diagnosed advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, trabedersen, combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet. It's for patients whose tumors have a protein called PD-L1 (at least 1%) and who are generally well enough to participate.

PTS injection for stage 4 lung cancer without gene mutations
This trial tests injecting a drug called PTS directly into lung tumors for people with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer that doesn't have certain gene changes. It is for patients whose tumors have stayed stable after first-line treatment and are located in a small area of the outer lung.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06617416RecruitingPhase 3
AK104 for locally advanced lung cancer after chemoradiotherapy
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug, AK104, for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It is for those who have finished chemoradiotherapy and have not gotten worse.
JinanAges 18 years+ - NCT06618599Recruiting
Two numbing injections for pain after lung cancer surgery
This study compares two types of numbing injections (one around the spine and another near the back muscles) to see which works better for pain relief after lung cancer surgery. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain medicines.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06620835RecruitingPhase 2
Optimizing local treatments for ALK-positive lung cancer on brigatinib
This trial is for people with advanced ALK-positive lung cancer who are already taking the targeted therapy brigatinib and have a few remaining spots of cancer. It tests whether adding local treatments (like surgery, focused radiation, or ablation) to the remaining spots can improve outcomes.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06634199Recruiting
Immune response after chemoradiation and immunotherapy for stage III lung cancer
This study looks at how the body’s immune system responds in people with stage III lung cancer (not removable by surgery) who first get chemotherapy and radiation and then receive the immunotherapy drug durvalumab for one year. It aims to learn more about the immune response and why the treatment works better for some people.
Ferrol, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT06644066Recruiting
Oxygen-guided lung surgery for small tumors
This trial tests a new way to help surgeons find the right boundary between lung segments during surgery, using oxygen levels to guide them. It may help patients with small, early-stage lung tumors.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06644430Recruiting
Burning lung spots plus systemic therapy for liver cancer
This trial tests whether burning away a few cancer spots in the lungs (called ablation) can help people with liver cancer who are already on a systemic treatment. If you have stable liver cancer and only a few lung spots that haven't grown, you may be eligible.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06652048RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose Furmonertinib for advanced lung cancer after progression
This trial tests a higher dose of the targeted therapy Furmonertinib, either alone or with chemotherapy, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed after initial treatment with a third-generation EGFR inhibitor like Osimertinib or Almonertinib.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06663306RecruitingPhase 1
Intrathecal pemetrexed and bevacizumab for lung cancer brain spread
This trial tests a treatment given directly into the fluid around the brain and spinal cord (intrathecal injection) using two drugs—pemetrexed and bevacizumab—for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to that area (leptomeningeal metastases). It may be an option if your current treatment is no longer working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06667167RecruitingPhase 2
First-line Keytruda + chemo then Keytruda + Trodelvy for SCLC
This trial tests a two-step treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer: first, chemotherapy combined with Keytruda (an immunotherapy), followed by Keytruda plus Trodelvy (another targeted drug). The goal is to see if this combination helps people live longer and keeps the cancer under control.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,028 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.
