- NCT06497530RecruitingPhase 2
Lurbinectedin with serplulimab for extensive-stage SCLC maintenance
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, lurbinectedin and serplulimab, as maintenance therapy after initial chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that hasn't spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this approach helps keep the cancer from growing for longer.

This trial compares standard maintenance treatment versus adding focused radiation to remaining limited (oligometastatic) spots in the body after initial chemotherapy. It aims to see whether treating those limited spots with radiation can improve outcomes without unacceptable side effects.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–99 - NCT05277844RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus targeted pill vs pill alone for EGFR/ALK-NSCLC
This study tests whether adding focused radiation to a targeted cancer pill works better than the pill by itself. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumor has an EGFR or ALK/ROS driver mutation and who have not gotten worse after starting the targeted pill.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–99 - NCT05236946RecruitingPhase 3
Brain radiation timing study for gene-mutated lung cancer
This study compares giving brain radiation right away versus waiting, in people with lung cancer that has an EGFR or ALK gene change and has spread to the brain but causes no symptoms. It aims to see which approach helps control the brain cancer better and keeps quality of life stable.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–99 - NCT06461156RecruitingPhase 1
New targeted drug study for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug (HS-10504) for people with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer that has worsened after previous EGFR inhibitor therapy. The study aims to see if this drug can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06476808RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug (BMS-986463) in people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to find a safe dose and see if it helps shrink or control the cancer. You must be well enough to do daily activities and have a tumor that can be biopsied before treatment starts.

EXL01 and nivolumab for immunotherapy-resistant lung cancer
This trial tests an investigational microbiome therapy (EXL01) combined with nivolumab (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer continued to grow after standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding EXL01 can help the immune system fight the cancer again.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06457789Recruiting
PET scans to track immune response in lung cancer treatment
This study uses special PET scans to see how well your immune cells respond to immunotherapy given before surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to learn which patients benefit most from this treatment approach.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06426511RecruitingPhase 2
Testing toripalimab after lung cancer surgery using ctDNA
This study tests whether a drug called toripalimab, given after lung cancer surgery, can help keep the cancer from coming back in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It uses a blood test (ctDNA) to look for leftover cancer cells and decide who might benefit most.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06432972Recruiting
Pre-surgery exercise and smoking cessation program for lung cancer
This trial tests a short, intensive exercise program (pulmonary rehab) before lung cancer surgery. It also helps people quit smoking during the program. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery after surgery.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT06439914RecruitingPhase 1
New PET scan to see immune response to lung cancer treatment
This study tests if a new type of PET scan can see changes in your immune system when you receive immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors understand how well your treatment is working.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06431685RecruitingPhase 1
Brain radiation, immunotherapy, and chemo for lung cancer spread
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation to the whole brain, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy given through a lumbar puncture. It is for people with lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and has not responded to standard treatments.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06437977RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery treatment with radiation, immunotherapy, and chemo for stage II-III NSCLC
This trial tests whether combining radiation, an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab), and chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people with resectable stage II to III non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this approach works better than standard chemotherapy alone.

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.
