Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04706754Recruiting
Study of lung cancer information across Canada
This observational study collects information from adults with lung cancer to better understand the disease over time. If you join, it helps researchers learn from real-world experiences rather than testing a new drug.
Brampton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04707781Recruiting
Database study for people at risk of lung scarring
This trial is a study database that collects information from adults who have other illnesses that can increase the risk of developing interstitial lung disease (lung scarring). It may help researchers better understand who is at risk and how outcomes change over time.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT04728724RecruitingPhase 2
Check immune treatment before surgery for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests an “immunotherapy” medicine given before surgery for stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to shrink the cancer and make curative surgery more successful while monitoring safety and response.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT04741711Recruiting
At-home ultrasound to help manage heart failure
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound at regular visits can help guide care for people with heart failure. It may help doctors spot worsening fluid problems earlier, before symptoms become severe.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04775134Recruiting
Checking leftover COVID virus after recovery
This study looks for whether small amounts of the COVID virus are still present in the lungs after infection. It may help doctors understand how long the virus can remain and inform future care, using tissue removed during a medically needed lung procedure.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT04777175Recruiting
Looking at immunotherapy for lung cancer with rare gene mutations
This study looks back at patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have specific rare gene changes (mutations). It aims to see how well immunotherapy works for people with these exact mutations.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT04789486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MR-guided radiation plus nanoparticles for central lung or pancreatic tumors
This early-phase study tests a new way to deliver focused radiation using MRI guidance and tiny particles, aiming to treat certain central lung tumors or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It’s designed to see how safe it is and how well it can control these tumors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04806412Recruiting
Gene testing in lung cancer fluid samples
This study looks at fluid from around the lungs (pleural fluid) to find gene changes (oncodrivers) in people with non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this fluid can replace a tissue biopsy for testing.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT04814407Recruiting
Test blood and other markers to detect early lung cancer
This study looks for new “epigenetic” signals in blood (signals about how genes are turned on/off) to help detect lung cancer early. You might be able to join if you are being evaluated for possible lung cancer or have small, unclear spots on a lung CT scan.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04852588Recruiting
Sample chest lymph nodes during treatment for advanced lung cancer
This study checks lymph nodes in the chest (using a camera-guided test) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are getting curative-intent radiation. The trial may help doctors better confirm how far the cancer has spread and guide the best radiation treatment plan.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04853342RecruitingPhase 3
Furmonertinib after lung tumor removal for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests whether furmonertinib, an oral targeted medicine, can improve outcomes after your lung tumor has been completely removed. It also checks for side effects and compares results against placebo in people with specific EGFR gene mutations.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT04913311Recruiting
Testing markers to predict lung inflammation after lung cancer treatment
This study looks for early “predictive markers” to tell who is most likely to develop lung inflammation after standard treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help clinicians spot problems sooner and tailor care, using additional monitoring during treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT07699328RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of VRN110755 for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new oral targeted therapy (VRN110755) for people with EGFR-mutant lung cancer. It is for those whose cancer has advanced or spread, and who either have not been treated yet or who stopped responding to previous EGFR pills.
Bedford Park, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05628376Recruiting
Tracking lung cancer evolution through treatment
This study follows people with lung cancer over time to see how the disease changes, especially during and after treatment. By collecting tumor samples and blood tests every few months, researchers hope to understand why some cancers come back or become resistant, and find better ways to treat them.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05798923RecruitingPhase 2
LAM-001 for lung scarring with high blood pressure
This trial tests a new medication called LAM-001 for people with high blood pressure in the lungs caused by lung scarring. It aims to see if it can improve symptoms and help you feel better.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT04937283Recruiting
Segmentectomy vs lobectomy for small lung cancer
This trial compares two lung-surgery options for small lung adenocarcinoma (≤ 2 cm): removing a lung segment versus removing an entire lobe. It aims to see which operation controls the cancer while preserving lung function.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 20–79 - NCT04944030Recruiting
Study collects health data for metastatic lung cancer patients
This study collects medical information and test results from people with lung cancer that has spread (or cannot be cured with local treatment). It does not test a new drug; it helps researchers better understand patients’ health and care needs over time.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04951635RecruitingPhase 3
Almonertinib after chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether almonertinib given after standard chemoradiation can help people with stage III, non-surgical lung cancer live longer and/or control the cancer. It is for tumors with specific EGFR mutations linked to sensitivity to EGFR-targeted medicines.
Ji'nan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT04951947RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug plus lenvatinib for advanced small-cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests JS-201 combined with lenvatinib in people with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer whose first-line treatment didn’t work. It may help by trying a new combination approach after prior therapy failure.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT04952480RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive chest radiation for newly diagnosed small cell lung cancer
This study tests a customized (“adaptive”) way to give radiation to the chest for newly diagnosed small cell lung cancer. It aims to improve how well treatment targets the tumor while safely adjusting to tumor changes during therapy.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04966663RecruitingPhase 2
Using blood DNA tests to guide lung cancer treatment
This study uses a blood test called ctDNA to look for leftover lung cancer after surgery. Based on that result, the trial will help decide which treatment approach is best for you and may catch cancer returning earlier.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04973293Recruiting
Pre-surgery immunotherapy plus chemo and blood-vessel medicine for lung cancer
This study tests whether giving sintilimab (an immune therapy) combined with bevacizumab (a blood-vessel–targeting medicine) plus chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for resectable lung cancer. It’s meant for people with specific lung cancer types and good health for surgery, and it avoids certain cancer types and immune-related risks.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04976296Recruiting
Monitoring minimal residual disease after lung cancer surgery
This study checks whether a special blood/tissue test called MRD (minimal residual disease, meaning tiny leftover cancer signals) can help monitor lung cancer after surgery. It may help doctors spot relapse earlier after your tumor has been fully removed.
