Lung cancer clinical trials
Cancer that begins in the lungs, often linked to smoking but also affecting non-smokers. We’re tracking 2,025 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT06756217Recruiting
PET scan to check early response to immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-grazytracer) to see if it can predict early whether immunotherapy is working in people with lung cancer that can be surgically removed. If successful, this scan could help doctors tailor treatment sooner.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06769295RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AK112 plus chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, AK112, combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the lung (malignant pleural effusion). The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06769971RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab and cadonilimab plus chemo for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two experimental immunotherapy drugs (ivonescimab and cadonilimab) with standard chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have not had prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemo alone.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06771960Recruiting
Targeted therapy before surgery for EGFR lung cancer
This trial looks at how well a targeted therapy works before surgery for people with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to understand the link between a heart rhythm measure (RVT) and patient outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06780826Recruiting
Atezolizumab plus chemo for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy helps people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It is for those who have not had treatment for this stage yet.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06794125Recruiting
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+ - NCT06800586Recruiting
Air pollution and health: new early warning signs
This study looks for new early warning signs (biomarkers) of how air pollution affects lung and blood health. It is for people with COPD, lung cancer, or leukemia who have never smoked much, as well as for healthy hospital workers.
Bologna, BolognaAges 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+ - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–90 - NCT06813365RecruitingPhase 1
DZD6008 for advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations
This trial tests an experimental oral drug called DZD6008 for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has certain EGFR mutations. It aims to see if the drug can help those whose cancer has stopped responding to other treatments, or who haven't had treatment yet.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06846762Recruiting
DNA/RNA co-testing for advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to first treatment
This study is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors do not have certain genetic changes (called driver mutations) and whose first treatment did not work well or caused bad side effects within 6 months. The researchers want to use a special test (DNA/RNA-NGS) to look for hidden genetic alterations that might explain why the cancer didn't respond.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06863506RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Befotertinib for non-small cell lung cancer with uncommon EGFR mutations
This trial tests a drug called Befotertinib for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has uncommon EGFR mutations (like G719X, L861Q, S768I, or exon 20 insertions). It is for those who haven't taken an EGFR-targeted pill before and have had a previous chemotherapy stopped working or caused side effects.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06866717Recruiting
Exercise before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether doing exercise training before lung cancer surgery can help you recover better. It is for people with low fitness levels who live with another adult at home.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT06896422RecruitingPhase 1
Testing glutathione with immunotherapy and chemo for lung cancer
This trial tests adding a supplement called glutathione to the usual immunotherapy (anti-PD-1) plus chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to first treatment. It aims to see if this combination works better at shrinking tumors.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - 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.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06908070RecruitingPhase 4
Chemoradiation, surgery, then durvalumab for stage 3 lung cancer
This trial tests if giving the immunotherapy drug durvalumab after chemoradiation and surgery helps people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer. You will receive standard chemoradiation, then have surgery, and then get durvalumab to see if it lowers the chance of the cancer coming back.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06921681Recruiting

This trial uses a special ultrasound-guided procedure to take tissue samples from swollen lymph nodes in the chest. It aims to improve diagnosis for people who already need a bronchoscopy.
BaselAges 18–90 - 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 - NCT06925295RecruitingPhase 2
Xenon MRI to guide radiation for lung cancer
This trial tests whether a special MRI that uses xenon gas can help doctors better plan radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may join if you are scheduled for stereotactic body radiation therapy for your lung cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,025 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.
