Breathing patterns and complications after lung surgery
This study looks at how the way you breathe during lung surgery might affect your recovery. It will help doctors understand if certain breathing patterns can predict complications after surgery.

Oloromosib with Immunotherapy as First Treatment for KRAS G12C Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (olomorasib) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and possibly chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation and has not been treated before.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06121505RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding low-dose radiation and a type of targeted radiation (SBRT) to a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and chemotherapy works better than immunotherapy and chemotherapy alone for people with advanced squamous cell lung cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05620329Recruiting
Pleural fluid registry for drainage in adults
This registry collects information from adults who have fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) and need clinically indicated drainage because of infection or cancer. It helps researchers better understand these conditions and improve future care.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05866302Recruiting
CT breathing-scan test to detect chronic lung injury after transplant
This study uses a special way to analyze breathing-related CT images to find early or ongoing lung injury after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It may help clinicians recognize chronic lung complications sooner and better guide care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 3 years+ - NCT01720836RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MUC1 peptide vaccine study for non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a vaccine made from a lung-cancer target (MUC1) to help your immune system recognize and fight the cancer. It is designed to measure immune response and safety, and it may help some people develop a stronger anti-cancer immune reaction.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06093867Recruiting
Tracking lung health after stem cell transplant
This study follows people getting a stem cell transplant to watch for lung problems, like infections or other lung diseases, that can happen after the transplant. The goal is to catch these issues early.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–70 - NCT06095505RecruitingPhase 2
Alisertib for extensive stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called alisertib for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread. It is for those who have already tried standard treatments (chemotherapy and immunotherapy) and need another option.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06082037RecruitingPhase 3
Testing belumosudil for chronic lung allograft dysfunction after transplant
This trial tests an oral medication called belumosudil for people with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after a double lung transplant. It may help slow the decline in lung function.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT00280202Recruiting

Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06084078Recruiting
Rural Illinois lung cancer screening study
This study aims to improve lung cancer screening for people in rural Illinois who have a history of heavy smoking. It tests a program to help more people get screened and catch cancer early.

Toripalimab for limited-stage small cell lung cancer after chemoradiation
This trial tests whether adding toripalimab (an immunotherapy) or toripalimab plus another immunotherapy (tifcemalimab) after standard chemoradiation can help prevent small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people with limited-stage disease who have finished initial treatment without the cancer growing.

AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,828 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.
