Recruiting studies
- NCT07057648Recruiting
Robot-assisted lung biopsy for lung nodules in South Korea
This trial uses a robot-assisted bronchoscope to take tissue samples from lung nodules. It may help diagnose lung cancer or other conditions without major surgery.
UlsanAges 19 years+ - NCT07675473RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief before lung nodule localization
This trial tests giving a pain medicine (parecoxib) before a CT-guided lung nodule procedure to see if it reduces pain during the treatment. It's for people with non-small cell lung cancer who need a wire placed in their lung before surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07623473Recruiting
Blood test to help identify lung nodules as cancer or benign
This study tests whether a simple blood test can accurately identify whether a lung nodule (small spot) found on imaging is cancer or harmless. If it works, it could help doctors avoid unnecessary procedures and speed up diagnosis.
Gentofte MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05375591Recruiting
AI study to sort lung nodules after past cancer treatment
This study uses computer tools (AI) and detailed scan patterns to better classify new lung nodules in people who previously had curative-intent cancer treatment. It may help doctors decide whether a nodule is likely benign or cancer, using your CT scan and related medical history.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07098884Recruiting
Using smartphone photos and AI to diagnose lung nodules
This trial uses photos of lung nodule tissue taken with a smartphone and analyzes them with artificial intelligence to improve diagnosis and predict outcomes. It may help people who are scheduled for lung surgery based on CT scans.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 20–75 - NCT05699213Recruiting
MRI and blood tests for lung nodules found on screening
This study looks at whether MRI scans and blood-related biomarkers can help better understand lung nodules found during routine lung cancer screening. It may help doctors decide which nodules need closer follow-up versus less intensive monitoring.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06054854Recruiting
Lung Cancer Biomarker Study (BIRD Biobank)
This study collects blood, tissue, and other samples from people with lung nodules, suspected lung cancer, or confirmed lung cancer to find better ways to diagnose and treat the disease. By joining, you help researchers discover new biomarkers that could improve care for future patients.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT07564557Recruiting
Guided surgery for small deep lung cancers
This trial tests a new surgical technique to remove small, early-stage lung cancers that are located deep within the lung tissue. The goal is to remove only the affected area while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05968898Recruiting
Computer helps analyze lung nodules on CT scans
This study tests a computer tool that uses patterns from your chest CT scan to help assess an unclear lung nodule. It may help doctors decide which nodules need closer attention.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 35–89 - NCT06825078Recruiting
Lung MRI with synthetic CT for monitoring lung nodules
This study tests whether using an MRI combined with a special type of CT scan can effectively monitor lung nodules over time. It may help people at high risk for lung cancer avoid repeated radiation from regular CT scans.
PessacAges 55–74 - NCT06821451Recruiting
Robot-guided dye marking for lung nodule surgery
This trial tests a new way to find and remove small lung nodules using a robot-guided camera to mark the nodule with dye, then a video-assisted surgery to remove it. It may help patients whose nodules are hard to locate during surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06838806Recruiting
A blood test to help diagnose risky lung nodules
This trial uses a simple blood test to look at certain genetic markers that may help doctors decide if a lung nodule is cancerous or not. It is designed for people who have a lung nodule that needs further testing like a biopsy or surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05306912Recruiting
Test gene analysis on liquid from a lung biopsy
This study looks at special lab tests (molecular analysis) done on liquid taken during a bronchoscopy to better understand lung nodules. It may help doctors learn more about what these nodules are, using samples from the procedure.
Toulouse, OccitanieAges 18 years+ - NCT05281237Recruiting
Microwave ablation for small early lung cancer nodules
This trial studies a flexible “microwave heating” probe placed through the airways to treat small lung cancer nodules. It may help some patients avoid more invasive treatment by destroying the tumor during a bronchoscopy procedure.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22 years+ - NCT05389774Recruiting
Testing an AI tool that predicts lung cancer risk from CT scans
This study tests whether Optellum’s AI prediction tool can better identify which lung nodules found on CT scans are more likely to be cancer. You may be asked to provide specific types of CT images so the tool can be evaluated.
BangorAges 35 years+ - NCT07047573Recruiting
Better testing for lung nodules to tell benign from cancer
This study uses advanced testing methods on lung nodules to better tell if they are benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). It may help improve diagnosis for people scheduled for surgery to remove a lung nodule.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges Any age - NCT07087080Recruiting
Using blood tests to tell if lung spots are cancer
This trial studies a blood test to help tell if a spot on your lung found by a PET-CT scan is cancer or not. It might help avoid unnecessary procedures in the future.
Genk, LimburgAges Any age - NCT07401797Recruiting
Lung nodule blood test study for cancer detection
This study is collecting blood samples from people with lung nodules to help design a better test for lung cancer. It may help find cancer earlier without invasive procedures.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07399210Recruiting
Detecting lung nodule cancer with a blood test
This study aims to see if a blood test can tell if a lung nodule is cancerous or not. It may help doctors avoid unnecessary procedures.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06518655Recruiting
Can a breath test tell if a lung nodule is cancer?
This trial is testing a simple breath test to see if it can tell whether a lung nodule is cancer or not. If you have a lung nodule that will be removed by surgery, you may be able to help find out if breathing into a device can replace more invasive tests.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07284485RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing lung cancer in people with high-risk lung spots
This trial tests an immunotherapy approach to stop high-risk lung spots from turning into cancer. It is for people who are current or former heavy smokers with multiple slow-growing lung nodules that are not yet ready for surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05463913RecruitingPhase 4
Scan and spot lung nodules with special PET/CT
This trial tests a newer PET/CT scan method to detect uncertain (indeterminate) lung nodules more accurately before biopsy or surgery. If you have a small lung nodule that doctors are still unsure about, this could help improve how nodules are found and assessed.
GroningenAges 18–100 - NCT03774758Recruiting
Blood tests to estimate lung cancer risk over 3 years
This study looks for blood “biomarkers” (measurable signs in blood) that may help predict who is at higher or lower risk related to lung cancer. You would have blood samples taken and then be followed with visits for up to 3 years.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT07168993Recruiting
Testing a new sputum test for lung cancer in high-risk adults
This study tests a new, non-invasive sputum test (FlowPath Lung) to see if it can accurately detect lung cancer in people at high risk who have a lung nodule. If you are between 50 and 80, have a smoking history, and have a lung nodule, this test may help decide if further steps are needed.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung nodules?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 41 recruiting lung nodules 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 nodules 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 nodules 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.
