Recruiting studies
- 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.

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT02777879Recruiting
Study gut-like lung bacteria and inflammation in early COPD
This study looks at the lung’s tiny bacteria (microbiome) and inflammation in people with early COPD who have a smoking history. It compares them with smokers who have normal breathing tests, to better understand what may drive COPD early on.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT07557225Recruiting
New PET Scan for Detecting Multiple Cancer Types
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a specialized imaging test) that may better detect certain cancers by looking for a specific marker found on many tumor types. The scan uses a new tracer called 18F-T2 to help doctors see cancer more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07343375Enrolling by invitation
Exercise training before lung surgery for COPD
This trial tests if high-intensity interval training before lung volume reduction surgery can improve lung function in people with COPD. It may help you get stronger for surgery and recover better afterward.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT06313398RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Measuring red blood cell lifespan in sickle cell disease
This study uses a harmless vitamin (biotin) to label your red blood cells and track how long they survive. It aims to understand how different blood disorders affect red blood cell lifespan, which may help improve treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06033196RecruitingPhase 2
Tocilizumab to prevent lung transplant rejection
This trial tests a drug called tocilizumab (brand name Actemra) to see if it helps prevent rejection after lung transplantation. Tocilizumab targets part of the immune system that may otherwise attack the new lungs.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 12–75 - NCT03538639Recruiting
Study blood and tissue samples for vascular disease discovery
This study collects blood (and sometimes tissue samples) from people who may have vascular (blood vessel) problems and from certain pregnant participants. Researchers use the samples to better understand vascular disease and to help guide future research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT06476132RecruitingPhase 2
Belumosudil for lung transplant patients at risk of chronic rejection
This trial tests whether the drug Belumosudil can help prevent chronic lung rejection in people who recently had a lung transplant and showed signs of early rejection. It may improve long-term lung health.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT03372733RecruitingPhase 2
Omega-7 oil effects on blood fats and fullness
This study tests whether an omega-7 (palmitoleic acid–rich) oil changes your blood fat levels and how full you feel. It includes healthy adults and may help explain nutrition-based ways to support heart health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT07707245Recruiting
Finding biomarkers in lung disease and lung cancer
This trial studies blood and tissue samples from people with COPD, IPF, or lung cancer to find markers that can help diagnose and predict these conditions. It aims to discover why some lung diseases progress to cancer.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06800586Recruiting
Air pollution and health: new early warning signs
This study looks for new early warning signs (biomarkers) of how air pollution affects lung and blood health. It is for people with COPD, lung cancer, or leukemia who have never smoked much, as well as for healthy hospital workers.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT00001529Recruiting
Bone marrow cell selection method study for transplants
This study tests improved ways to select and collect bone marrow cells from healthy donors for use in transplants. Researchers are looking for healthy volunteers to donate cells that may help people who need bone marrow transplants.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT07524114Recruiting
Tracking cancer recurrence risk after treatment
This study uses advanced blood tests to detect tiny amounts of cancer DNA after you've completed cancer treatment. The goal is to catch any signs of cancer coming back as early as possible, which may help doctors intervene sooner.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07610616Recruiting
Testing ADC Drug Effectiveness Using Lung Cancer Lab Models
This research study tests how a lung cancer drug called Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) works by growing your cancer cells in a lab dish and studying them with your immune cells. The goal is to better understand which patients might benefit most from this treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–100 - NCT06529822RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized cancer vaccine for solid tumors with MRD
This trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine for people with certain cancers (bladder, stomach/esophagus, melanoma, or lung) who have no visible cancer after surgery but still have tiny bits of cancer DNA in their blood (called MRD). The vaccine is designed to train your immune system to attack any remaining cancer cells.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05717192Recruiting
Bronchoscopy treatment to shrink severe emphysema using heat
This trial studies a bronchoscopy procedure that uses heat (thermoablation) to reduce over-inflated lung tissue in people with severe emphysema. If you qualify, it aims to improve breathing and walking ability after trying standard treatments first.
BerlinAges 40–75 - NCT06275230Recruiting
Growing lung stem cells from COPD patients
This trial aims to grow lung stem cells and create mini-lungs (organoids) from the tissue of people with COPD. It may help researchers understand the disease better and develop new treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT06652048RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose Furmonertinib for advanced lung cancer after progression
This trial tests a higher dose of the targeted therapy Furmonertinib, either alone or with chemotherapy, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed after initial treatment with a third-generation EGFR inhibitor like Osimertinib or Almonertinib.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07599176RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Partial stem cell transplant for sickle cell disease from matched donors
This study tests a partial stem cell transplant from a matched donor to treat sickle cell disease. It may help reduce complications like strokes, organ damage, or pain crises.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–65 - NCT06377449Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for better outcomes after heart surgery
This study tests whether using ultrasound to look at the lungs during and after heart surgery helps improve recovery. You may be eligible if you are having open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine and meet certain health criteria.
Saint Petersburg, Sankt-PeterburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04008368RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Second stem cell transplant for sickle cell with declining donor cells
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether repeating a stem cell transplant can help people with sickle cell disease (SCD) whose donor cells are no longer holding strong. It may help restore healthier blood cell production and reduce symptoms such as pain crises and severe anemia.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–80 - NCT06341933Recruiting
Kidney risk after lung cancer surgery (VATS)
This study looks at why some people develop kidney problems after lung cancer surgery using small incisions (VATS). By tracking your recovery, the doctors hope to find ways to protect your kidneys during and after surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 431 recruiting lung diseases 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 diseases 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 diseases 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.
