Lung cancer clinical trials
Cancer that begins in the lungs, often linked to smoking but also affecting non-smokers. We’re tracking 2,019 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT07662395RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug plus chemo for advanced squamous lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (SCTB41) combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer who have not had any prior treatment. It aims to see if this combination works better than standard therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07662733Recruiting
Acupuncture for better sleep and less pain after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if acupuncture given before and after surgery can help patients sleep better and have less chronic pain after a lung cancer operation. You may join if you are having a specific type of lung cancer surgery, are in good general health, and do not have severe sleep problems already.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07494006Enrolling by invitation
Which breathing mode is safer during lung surgery?
This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during lung surgery to see which one keeps your oxygen levels more stable. You will be randomly assigned to breathe either normally or with a special mode during the one-lung part of the surgery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07373951Enrolling by invitation
Predicting cancer gene status from MRI scans in brain metastasis
This trial uses brain MRI scans and deep learning to predict whether non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain has certain gene changes (EGFR or ALK). Knowing this may help guide treatment without needing additional tissue testing.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07214441Enrolling by invitation
BE+ program for lung cancer survivors
This trial tests a program called BE+ for people who have finished treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the program is practical and helpful for improving health after treatment.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT07122882Enrolling by invitation
Genetic study of drug-resistant lung cancer
This trial looks at the genetic changes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has stopped responding to targeted therapy pills. It aims to understand why the cancer became resistant, which may help find better treatments.
TaoyuanAges 18 years+ - 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.

New pill for EGFR Exon 20 lung cancer
This study tests a new pill called PLB1004 for people whose lung cancer has a specific EGFR mutation (exon 20 insertion). It is for those who have not yet had any treatment for their advanced cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06028412Enrolling by invitation
Lobectomy vs. Sublobar Resection for Small NSCLC
This trial compares two types of lung surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. You may qualify if you have a small tumor (2 cm or less) with specific features on a CT scan. The goal is to see which surgery offers better outcomes.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–75 - NCT04954625Enrolling by invitation
Blood patch treatment for leaking air after lung surgery
This study looks at whether an “autologous blood patch” (using your own blood) can help stop an air leak after certain lung operations. It’s designed for adults who still have an air leak on the morning of the third day after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04945317Enrolling by invitation
ROSE to improve lung cancer marker testing with a breathing scope
This trial studies a quick scan method (called ROSE) during bronchoscopy to help doctors get the right lung cancer tissue and test cancer markers more accurately. If you are being evaluated for non-small cell lung cancer, the study may improve how well and how fast your samples can be tested.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT02978521Recruiting
Pulmonary rehab program for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether a structured breathing and activity program (pulmonary rehabilitation) can help people with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. It may help improve breathing and daily function alongside standard cancer treatment.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–70 - NCT03225586Recruiting
Study of health differences in urban and rural communities
This study enrolls consenting adults to understand how health differs between people living in cities versus rural areas. Your participation may help researchers learn what factors influence health over time.
Rosario, Santa Fe ProvinceAges 35–70 - NCT07454642RecruitingPhase 1
AVA6103 for advanced FAP-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AVA6103 for certain advanced cancers that show a protein called FAP. It is for people who have already tried other treatments or cannot take them, and aims to see if the drug is safe and helps shrink tumors.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07519655RecruitingPhase 1
New Cancer Drug Treatment for Advanced Lung, Esophageal, or Skin Cancer
This study tests a new drug called PF-08046033 in people with advanced lung cancer (NSCLC), esophageal cancer (ESCC), or melanoma (skin cancer) that has spread or can't be surgically removed. The drug targets a specific protein to help slow or stop cancer growth.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07006727RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted radiation therapy for DLL3-positive advanced cancers
This study tests a new targeted radiation therapy (called [225Ac]Ac-ETN029) for people with advanced cancers that have a protein called DLL3 on their cells. The treatment is designed to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells, and the goal is to see if it is safe and effective.

Goals of care conversation support for certain serious illnesses
This study helps primary care clinicians and their patients have structured “goals of care” conversations (about what matters most and care preferences). It may help you get clearer, earlier planning—especially if you have a serious illness and higher risk of hospitalization or death.

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.
