Recruiting studies
- NCT06905197RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DZD6008 for advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations
This trial tests an oral drug called DZD6008 for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has certain EGFR mutations. It may be an option for those who have tried other EGFR treatments or are new to treatment.

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 - NCT05754203Recruiting
Radiation plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether a more intensive form of targeted radiation, combined with immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors), can work better and be safe for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You may be considered if your tumor is limited in size and you’re able to receive both treatments.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06816966Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Chemo-immunotherapy with split radiation for extensive-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and a special type of radiation given in split sessions for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer better.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06813365RecruitingPhase 1
A targeted therapy for EGFR-mutated advanced lung cancer
This trial is testing a new targeted pill for people with EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer. It's designed for those whose cancer has grown after other treatments, and it works by blocking a specific protein that helps the cancer grow.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06805825RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NN3201 for advanced cancers with c-Kit
This trial tests a new drug, NN3201, that targets a protein called c-Kit found on some cancer cells. It may be an option for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including GIST, small cell lung cancer, or other c-Kit-positive cancers, who have already tried standard treatments or cannot take them.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06809764Recruiting
Study of T-DXd in Chinese patients with HER2m NSCLC
This study looks at how safe and effective the drug T-DXd (trastuzumab deruxtecan) is for Chinese patients with a specific type of lung cancer that has a HER2 mutation. It helps understand if this treatment works well in real-world settings.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06810375RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve Blocks for Pain After Video-Assisted Lung Surgery
This trial tests two different numbing shots (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. One block is placed near the spine, and the other is between the ribs. The goal is to find the best way to keep you comfortable after surgery.

Higher radiation dose for chest tumors
This trial tests if giving a higher dose of radiation to tumors in the chest (lungs or nearby areas) can better control symptoms or prevent them from getting worse. It is for people who need palliative radiation—treatment aimed at easing discomfort or slowing tumor growth, not curing the cancer.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06765109RecruitingPhase 3
Testing neladalkib for untreated ALK-positive lung cancer
This study tests a new pill called neladalkib to see if it works better than the current standard treatment (alectinib) for people with ALK-positive lung cancer who have not yet received any cancer therapy for advanced disease. It may be a good option if you have ALK-positive NSCLC and have not been treated before.

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.
