Istanbul, BakırkoyAges 18–80 - NCT00897117Recruiting
Providing tumor tissue samples during lung cancer surgery
This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue from people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who are planning surgery. It may help researchers learn more about the cancer by studying samples taken at the time of your operation.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–120 - NCT05033691Recruiting
Osimertinib plus early brain radiation versus osimertinib alone
This trial tests whether starting focused radiation to brain spots early (called SRS) along with osimertinib works better than taking osimertinib alone. It is for people with lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation and has not yet caused major brain symptoms.
JerusalemAges 18–120 - NCT03872661RecruitingPhase 2
New lung cancer medicines before surgery for unresectable stage III
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of IBI308 plus bevacizumab and pemetrexed/carboplatin given before surgery, aiming to shrink or control unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. It may help some people become eligible for surgery and improve outcomes, while also testing safety and effectiveness.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07182682RecruitingPhase 3
Sunvozertinib after surgery for early-stage NSCLC with certain EGFR mutations
This trial tests the drug sunvozertinib given after surgery to see if it prevents lung cancer from coming back. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that has specific changes in the EGFR gene (exon20 insertion or PACC mutations).
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07310056Recruiting
Smart wearable tracking for lung cancer surgery recovery
This study tests whether using a wearable device and a smartphone app during lung cancer surgery and recovery can help track and improve how well you heal. It may offer extra support and guidance to help you recover better after your operation.
ChengduAges 18–85 - NCT07862777Recruiting
Predicting lung problems after major abdominal surgery in older adults
This study looks at whether a simple test from your blood and your physical health rating can help predict if you might have lung problems after a major surgery on your belly area. The goal is to help doctors plan better care for older patients during and after surgery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 65 years+ - NCT07809763Recruiting
Home exercise program with wearable device for older adults before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a home-based exercise and health program that uses a wearable device and smartphone app to help older adults prepare for lung cancer surgery. The goal is to improve fitness and recovery before and after your operation.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 65–85 - NCT03307018Recruiting
Check if bronchoscopy after lung surgery prevents complications
This study looks at whether doing a brief breathing-tube exam (bronchoscopy) after specific lung surgery can lower the chance of lung complications. It may help improve recovery and reduce post-surgery breathing problems.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18–89 - NCT07661940RecruitingPhase 2
SP16 for kidney protection during heart surgery
This trial tests a drug called SP16 to see if it can prevent acute kidney injury in people with chronic kidney disease who are having elective heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. It aims to help preserve kidney function after surgery.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06404892Recruiting
Predicting Lung Problems After Chest Surgery
This study is looking at how well certain risk scores predict lung problems after chest surgery. It involves patients who will have surgery using one-lung breathing, and the goal is to learn which scores are most useful.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT06866717Recruiting
Exercise before lung cancer surgery

RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT07099963Recruiting
Study comparing breathing settings during lung surgery
This trial reviews breathing settings used during surgery on one lung to see if a specific tool can help prevent breathing problems.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04875585RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant and post-surgery immunotherapy for operable lung cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 168 recruiting lung surgery 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 surgery 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 surgery 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.
