Better Breathing After Lung Cancer Treatment
This study looks at breathing exercises for people who have finished treatment for early-stage lung cancer. You'll be asked to give a blood sample at home and do breathing training to see if it helps your recovery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03093688RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an immune-cell infusion for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding special immune cells (iNKT cells and CD8+ T cells) given by IV infusion can help treat advanced cancers. It mainly looks at safety first, and also checks whether the treatment can shrink or control cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06851663RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New PET scan for many solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special antibody to find a marker called Trop2 on many common solid tumors. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly without needing a biopsy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06840704RecruitingPhase 3
Can immunonutrition reduce esophagitis during lung cancer radiation?
This trial tests if a special nutritional supplement (immunonutrition) can lower the risk of severe throat and chest irritation (esophagitis) caused by radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may qualify if you are about to start chest radiation and can eat normally.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06822543RecruitingPhase 2
A new treatment for lung cancer that has spread to the brain
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (datopotamab deruxtecan, carboplatin, and pembrolizumab) for people with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain and has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors in the brain and elsewhere.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18 years+ - NCT06167460Recruiting
Blood test to monitor targeted therapy response in advanced lung cancer
This study uses a simple blood test to look at bits of tumor DNA (called circulating tumor DNA) to see how well your targeted therapy (TKI) is working. It helps doctors predict and monitor whether the treatment is effective for your advanced lung cancer.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18–80 - NCT06793215RecruitingPhase 3
Divarasib plus pembrolizumab for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted drug (divarasib) combined with an immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) versus standard chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation. It aims to see if the new combination works better and is safe.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06572540Recruiting
Cryoablation for early-stage lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to freeze and destroy small lung tumors: through the chest wall or through the airways. It’s for people with early-stage lung cancer who are not able or willing to have surgery.

Brain effects of ALK/ROS1 lung cancer drugs and quality of life
This study looks at how certain targeted therapy drugs for ALK/ROS1-positive lung cancer may affect thinking, memory, mood, and mental health. It aims to build a special care and research path where patients and researchers work together to understand and manage these side effects.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06743308Recruiting
New questionnaire to improve understanding in advanced lung cancer
This study tests a new questionnaire to help people with advanced lung cancer better understand their illness. It is for patients who are being treated at MD Anderson and were recently diagnosed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06691776Recruiting
Adaptive radiotherapy for five cancer types
This trial tests whether a newer type of daily CT scan (CBCT-guided adaptive radiotherapy) can safely and accurately deliver radiation to cancers of the prostate, cervix, bladder, lung, or head and neck. The goal is to better target the tumor and reduce side effects.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06730685Enrolling by invitation
Sarcopenia and cachexia in lung cancer patients
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) and weight loss (cachexia) in people with lung cancer. Researchers want to understand these conditions better to improve care.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT06731413RecruitingPhase 2
Mild chemo with immunotherapy for older adults with advanced lung cancer
This study tests a milder chemotherapy combined with an immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1) as the first treatment for advanced lung cancer in older or frailer adults. It aims to see if this approach works better with fewer side effects.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06731270RecruitingPhase 2
Diclofenac for advanced lung cancer on immunotherapy
This trial tests whether adding the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors are growing while on a single immunotherapy drug. You must have been on immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks and have a growing tumor, but your doctor does not plan to change your treatment right away.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06699979Recruiting
Early lung cancer study with multiple tumors or cysts
This study looks at the genes and molecules of early-stage lung cancer in two groups: people with more than one lung tumor at the same time, and people whose lung cancer is tied to air-filled spaces (cysts) seen on a CT scan. The goal is to better understand these types of lung cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06688422Recruiting
Using a breathing device during lung cancer treatment
This trial tests if using a simple breathing exercise device (called an incentive spirometer) during chemo and radiation for advanced lung cancer can help improve breathing outcomes and overall recovery.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06682793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of A2B395 therapy for solid tumors with EGFR and HLA loss
This trial tests a new cell therapy called A2B395 for cancers that have EGFR, a protein on the cell surface, and have lost a specific marker called HLA-A*02. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and kill these cancer cells. This may help patients with colorectal, lung, head and neck, breast, kidney, or other solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard treatments.

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.
