Recruiting studies
- NCT07355205RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a three-drug combination (ipilimumab, nivolumab, and nogapendekin alfa inbakicept) as a first treatment for people with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06331455RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation, immunotherapy, and surgery for chest wall lung cancer
This trial tests combining radiation, immunotherapy (durvalumab), and surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the chest wall or top of the lung. It aims to see if this approach can help remove the cancer completely.
TorontoAges 18–99 - NCT06337084RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging test for solid tumors using MNPR-101-DFO*-89Zr
This study tests whether a new imaging agent, MNPR-101-DFO*-89Zr, can find solid tumors and measure their uPAR levels. It might help doctors better understand your cancer and guide future treatment decisions.
North Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06343402RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BBO-8520 for advanced KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial tests a new oral medication called BBO-8520 for advanced lung cancer with a specific gene change (KRAS G12C mutation). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective, and may be combined with another drug (pembrolizumab) in some groups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06420206Recruiting
Goals of care discussion in the ER for advanced cancer
This study is for people with advanced lung or GI cancer who come to the emergency room at MD Anderson. It’s testing a conversation to help you and your doctor discuss your goals and wishes for care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06424067RecruitingPhase 2
Fingolimod for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if the drug fingolimod can help people with advanced non-small cell or small cell lung cancer that has worsened after at least two previous treatments. Fingolimod is a pill taken daily that may help the immune system fight the cancer.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06427954Recruiting
Mobile app study for people with advanced lung cancer
This study tests a mobile app (called THRIVE) to help people with advanced lung cancer manage their health and well-being. You'll use the app on your phone to track symptoms and get support, which may help you feel better and stay more in control.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06451029Recruiting
Preventing diseases caused by smoking
This study is looking at ways to prevent smoking-related diseases. It enrolls long-term smokers who are age 50 or older and who are not planning to quit.
Milan, Italy, MilanAges 50 years+ - NCT06455917RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a personalized treatment using your own immune cells (called TILs) to fight advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed after standard therapy. You would have surgery to collect a tumor sample, then receive your expanded immune cells back as an infusion.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06463665RecruitingPhase 2
Virus therapy with chemo and immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to attack cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than a different chemotherapy drug alone.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06477302Recruiting
Sticking with breathing rehab for lung cancer
This trial looks at how well people with lung cancer stick with a respiratory rehabilitation program (breathing exercises and support). Researchers want to see if factors like your treatment stage or daily function affect your ability to keep up with rehab. It may help find ways to better support patients during recovery.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06481813Recruiting
Lung Cancer Biobank Study for Newly Diagnosed Patients
This trial collects blood and tissue samples from people newly diagnosed with lung cancer (NSCLC or CPC) to study the disease over time. It helps researchers understand how different treatments affect the cancer and the body.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT05873686RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NXP900 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called NXP900 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The study has two parts: one for any advanced solid tumor and another for tumors with specific genetic changes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07315113RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NXP900 plus osimertinib for EGFR lung cancer
This trial tests a new study drug called NXP900 combined with the targeted therapy osimertinib for people with advanced EGFR-mutated lung cancer who have already been treated with osimertinib. The goal is to see if the combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Calverton, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06492421RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving two immunotherapy drugs directly into the tumor before surgery can shrink non-small cell lung cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people with early-stage (IIIA) lung cancer who are candidates for surgery.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06495125RecruitingPhase 2
Study of three drugs for a type of advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (defactinib and avutometinib) plus an immunotherapy (nivolumab) for people with advanced lung adenocarcinoma that has a specific gene mutation (LKB1) and has stopped responding to prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06500312Recruiting
Lung cancer imaging and genetics study
This study looks at how CT scans of lung cancer can be linked to the tumor's biology and genetics. It aims to understand lung cancer better by combining imaging with lab results.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06503744Recruiting
Comparing two minimally invasive heat treatments for early lung cancer
This trial compares two types of radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment) for early-stage lung cancer that is located in the outer parts of the lung. One approach uses a needle through the chest wall, the other uses a bronchoscope through the airways. The goal is to see which works better for people who cannot have surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06508307RecruitingPhase 1
A study of an injected virus for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment where a virus (GC001) is injected directly into a tumor. The virus is designed to attack cancer cells and may help people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other treatments.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06538012RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tumor immune cells plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new approach: taking immune cells from your own tumor (TILs), growing them in the lab, then giving them back to you along with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab. It is for people with advanced lung cancer who have run out of standard options.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–90 - NCT06538038Recruiting
Osimertinib plus chemo vs. osimertinib alone for EGFR-mutated NSCLC
This study compares two standard treatments for advanced lung cancer with an EGFR mutation: osimertinib alone versus osimertinib plus chemotherapy. It aims to see which approach works better and is not a trial of a new drug, so you can receive usual care while contributing data.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06538636Recruiting
Improving lung cancer screening for Veterans

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,019 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.
