Health program for chronic lung disease in Barcelona
This study tests a health program for people with serious lung conditions like COPD or hard-to-treat asthma, especially those who also have other health issues. It aims to see if the program helps them feel better and manage their health in Barcelona.
BarcelonaAges Up to 85 years - NCT06391749Enrolling by invitation
Blood test for multiple cancers in people with symptoms
This trial tests a new blood test (SPOT-MAS) that looks for signs of multiple cancers in people who already have symptoms and are being checked with imaging. If the blood test is positive, you'll get more detailed scans or a biopsy to see if cancer is present.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06370416Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Preventing bone marrow suppression from chemo in advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if trilaciclib can protect your bone marrow during chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to reduce side effects like low blood counts, which can cause fatigue, infections, or bleeding.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06332131Enrolling by invitation
Heart blood vessel effects of immunotherapy in breast and lung cancer
This trial studies whether immunotherapy drugs (called immune checkpoint inhibitors) affect the small blood vessels of the heart. If you have breast cancer or lung cancer and are starting a specific treatment plan, you may be asked to have a special heart scan before and during therapy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06281964Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
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+ - NCT06262282Enrolling by invitation
Phage therapy for stubborn NTM infection in cystic fibrosis
This trial tests whether a special virus therapy (phage) can help clear stubborn NTM lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis who have been on antibiotics for over a year without success. Participants will continue their antibiotics while receiving the phages.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 6 years+ - NCT06236685Enrolling by invitation
Optimizing ventilation monitoring with advanced techniques
This trial tests a new way to monitor breathing for people on a ventilator during surgery or in intensive care. It aims to improve care by combining advanced monitoring methods.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06164639Enrolling by invitation
Biomarkers and causes of lung injury from reflux
This study looks at why some people on breathing tubes develop lung damage from stomach acid getting into the lungs. It may help find better ways to prevent or treat this injury.
ShanghaiAges 18–99 - 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.

Breath and heart tests to study lung disease stiffness
This study uses breath analysis and heart/electrical heart testing to look at how stiff the arteries are in people with long-term lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand lung disease effects on the cardiovascular system.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT05600933Enrolling by invitation
Providing tumor samples to find new treatment targets
This study collects tumor tissue and related blood tests from people who already need a biopsy or surgery as part of their usual care. Researchers use the samples to learn what drives the tumor and how the tumor environment may affect treatment, which could help develop future therapies.

Study of adults from Colombia’s Caribbean coast
This study follows adults who were born or are from Colombia’s Caribbean coast. The goal is to learn about health patterns in this community, but you would not be able to join if you meet certain medical or disability-related criteria.

PET scan study for specific cancers using a new tracer
This study uses a PET scan with a special radioactive tracer (68Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9) to look at cancer in certain people. It may help doctors better see cancer-related activity and guide treatment planning for selected cancers.
TurkuAges 18–100 - NCT05001009Enrolling by invitation
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?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,885 recruiting lung 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 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 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.
