This study tests a new vaccine designed to help your immune system fight advanced lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The vaccine targets a protein called IMP3 found in your cancer cells.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07564401RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T Cell Therapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study tests DJI136, a new type of cell therapy that trains your immune cells to fight small cell lung cancer. The therapy targets a protein called DLL3 found on cancer cells. It's designed for patients whose cancer has returned or progressed after initial chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT07564960Recruiting
Social Support Program for Lung Cancer Survivors
This study tests whether a social support program helps lung cancer survivors improve their quality of life and emotional well-being after treatment. You would participate in sessions (online or in-person) focused on connecting with others and building coping skills.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–99 - NCT07583511RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combination for advanced lung cancer
This study tests whether a combination of three drugs—teniposide, cisplatin, and serplulimab—can effectively treat extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (a fast-growing type of lung cancer that has spread). Serplulimab is an immunotherapy drug designed to help your immune system fight cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07591389Recruiting
Radon Testing Education for Mothers of Young Children
This study tests ways to encourage mothers to test their homes for radon, a colorless gas that can build up indoors and pose health risks. Researchers want to learn how to help families protect their young children's health.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,018 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.
