Recruiting studies

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06634979Recruiting
Selective lymph node removal for small lung cancers
This trial compares removing fewer lymph nodes during surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It is for people with a small tumor (2 cm or less) that has both solid and ground-glass parts.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06638515Recruiting
Walking and breathing exercise for pain relief
This study tests whether a specific breathing exercise (walking while breathing at a low lung volume) can reduce pain sensitivity. It's looking for healthy people who have no ongoing medical conditions or pain.
MadridAges 18–65 - NCT06638528Recruiting
Can Walking and Breath-Holding Reduce Pain Sensitivity?
This study tests a special breathing technique called 'walking apnea' (holding your breath while walking) to see if it can reduce pain sensitivity. Healthy volunteers will do this exercise, and researchers will measure how it affects your pain perception.
MadridAges 18–65 - NCT06638645Recruiting
Hospital stay after keyhole lung surgery
This study looks at how long people stay in the hospital after keyhole surgery to remove a part of the lung. It aims to find out what affects recovery time.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT06644144Recruiting
P4O2: A study for people with lung scarring
This study is testing a new way to track lung scarring (fibrosis) over time in people with conditions like IPF, other fibrotic lung diseases, or early signs of scarring. It might help doctors understand how the disease changes.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–80 - NCT06645977Recruiting
Study for patients with interstitial lung disease
This trial is for adults with interstitial lung disease (a group of lung conditions that cause scarring). It aims to understand the disease better and may help find new ways to treat it.
Rome, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06646276RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo vs standard care for first-line extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (BMS-986489 with chemotherapy) against the current standard treatment (atezolizumab with chemotherapy) for people who have just been diagnosed with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06646471RecruitingPhase 4
Study of cancer drugs for older adults with lung cancer
This trial tests approved cancer drugs in people aged 70 and older with non-small-cell lung cancer who haven't had systemic treatment before. The goal is to see how well these drugs work in this older population.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 70 years+ - NCT06651658Recruiting
A trial of pleura embolisation during lung ablation
This study looks at a new procedure called pleural embolisation that may reduce air leaks after lung ablation. It tests whether using this technique during ablation is safe and effective for people with lung lesions.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT06653478Recruiting
Smarter cancer risk assessment using all your medical info
This study is testing a new way to use medical images, records, and other information to better assess cancer risk and guide treatment. It may be a good fit if you have a suspicious spot in your lungs, stomach, or colon, or if you are healthy and want to help with early cancer detection research.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06655090Recruiting
Early detection and treatment study for lung scarring disease
This study looks at how to find and treat fibrotic interstitial lung disease (a condition where lung tissue becomes scarred and stiff) as early as possible. It may help people with this type of lung disease get better care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06659042RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab before and after surgery for KRAS-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab before and after surgery can help people with a specific type of lung cancer (non-squamous NSCLC with a KRAS mutation) that is stage 2 or 3. It aims to improve treatment outcomes by targeting the cancer early.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06659458Recruiting
EGFR lung cancer gene study using advanced DNA sequencing
This trial uses long-read sequencing to study the EGFR gene in women with EGFR-positive lung cancer. It aims to learn more about the cancer's DNA to improve future treatments.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 18–100 - NCT06663098RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab and chemo again for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of a second course of chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if re-using these treatments together can help control the cancer again.
Aviano (PN)Ages 18 years+ - NCT06671639Recruiting
Stanford program to speed up robotic surgery for children
This trial tests a faster, robotic-assisted surgery for children ages 6 to 21. It aims to see if completing part of the operation using a robot can be as safe and effective as traditional open surgery, possibly leading to quicker recovery and less pain.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 6–21 - NCT06674252Recruiting
Herbal treatment for symptoms after lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether a modified herbal formula (Bufei Decoction) can help reduce symptoms like cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath in older adults after lung cancer surgery, and whether it improves survival.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT06674148RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Qifangfeixian granules for connective tissue disease lung scarring
This trial tests a Chinese herbal medicine called Qifangfeixian granules for people with lung scarring (interstitial lung disease) related to connective tissue diseases (like lupus or scleroderma). It compares the medicine to a placebo to see if it helps improve breathing and lung function.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06681220RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide and stenoparib for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This trial tests two drugs—temozolomide and stenoparib—for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned after initial chemo. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06684418Recruiting
AI to find hidden cancer spread in early lung cancer
This trial uses artificial intelligence to predict if early-stage lung cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to help doctors make better treatment decisions for patients with stage 1 lung cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06686251Recruiting
AI assistant for reading chest X-rays in breathing problems
This study tests a computer program that helps doctors read chest X-rays faster and more accurately. It is for adults who had an X-ray because of breathing problems like a cough or fever.
Curitiba, ParanáAges 18 years+ - NCT06687408Recruiting
Minimally invasive sleeve lobectomy for lung cancer
This study looks at a type of lung cancer surgery called sleeve lobectomy done with small incisions (minimally invasive). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with non-small cell lung cancer that requires removing a part of the lung and reconnecting the airway.
HangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06689488Recruiting
Microwave ablation for lung cancer via bronchoscopy
This study tests a new, less invasive way to treat lung cancer using microwave energy delivered through a thin tube inserted into the airway. It is for people with small, confirmed lung tumors who are already being considered for surgery, and who cannot or prefer not to have blood thinners.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,904 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.
