Recruiting studies
- NCT03236987RecruitingPhase 3
Clarithromycin versus azithromycin for lung MAC infection
This Phase 3 trial compares two antibiotics—clarithromycin and azithromycin—to treat lung infection caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). It may help by showing which antibiotic works better and is safer for people who need MAC treatment.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT04467333Recruiting
Registry for lung cancer patients at a pulmonary hypertension center
This is a hospital registry study that collects information from people with lung cancer. It looks at pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) in relation to lung cancer, which may help doctors understand risk and care needs.
Giessen, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT03851445RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Lung cancer screening trial using tumor and blood test results
This trial helps sort people with previously treated lung cancer into the best next treatment options by using new tumor tissue (and sometimes blood) test results. It may help you get matched to therapies based on features like PD-L1 and other biomarkers.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT02812290Recruiting
Microarray testing during lung transplant biopsy
This study looks at using a special lab test (microarrays) on tissue taken during a lung transplant biopsy. It aims to learn how the test may help doctors better diagnose and guide care after transplant.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06815289Recruiting
MR-guided radiation for hard-to-treat central lung tumors
This trial tests a specialized radiation therapy that uses daily MRI scans to precisely target lung tumors located near the windpipe or esophagus. It aims to improve treatment accuracy while reducing side effects.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07164638Enrolling by invitation
Predicting fluid overload during prostate surgery
This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid overload in men having prostate surgery with spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which ultrasound method works best to prevent complications.
TantaAges Any age - NCT06245954Recruiting
Better diagnosis through lung sampling training
This trial studies whether standardizing the training for a lung biopsy procedure helps doctors better diagnose interstitial lung disease. You might be eligible if you have a suspected ILD diagnosis and your lung function and other health markers are within certain limits.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06327945Recruiting
Lung transplant from donors after circulatory death
This trial tests if lungs from donors whose hearts have stopped can be safely transplanted into people waiting for a lung transplant. It may expand the number of available donor lungs.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07031986Recruiting
Lung surgery study for people with obesity
This trial compares two devices (bronchial blockers vs. double-lumen tubes) for one-lung ventilation during lung cancer surgery in people with obesity. It aims to find which method works better for this group.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18–90 - NCT07077174Recruiting
Permissive lung-protective ventilation for critically ill patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether a more lenient approach to lung-protective ventilation can improve outcomes for patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to find a balance that is safer for the lungs while still being effective.
AlmeloAges 18 years+ - NCT07534033RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotic LR607 for newly diagnosed lung cancer
This study tests whether a probiotic supplement (LR607) can help patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer—a common type of lung cancer. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that may help your immune system fight cancer alongside standard treatments.
GuangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT07092943Recruiting
Comparing two breathing methods during surgery
This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 16–80 - NCT04537182Recruiting
Surgery versus bronchoscopy for severe emphysema
This study compares two ways to reduce lung “overinflation” in people with severe emphysema: surgery (LVRS) or a bronchoscopy procedure (BLVR). It aims to see which approach works best and is safest for eligible patients.
ViennaAges 30–80 - NCT07461779RecruitingPhase 4
Oxygen to the healthy lung during lung surgery
This study is testing whether giving extra oxygen to the lung that is not being operated on (the non-dependent lung) during surgery can reduce problems after lung surgery. If you are having lung surgery, this might help you recover better.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06455800Recruiting
Severe lung disease in childhood
This study looks at severe lung disease in children. It may help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
OdenseAges 1 day–18 years - NCT06514378RecruitingPhase 1
Safety of stem cells for chronic lung transplant rejection
This trial tests whether a single dose of stem cells given through a bronchoscope is safe for people whose lungs are failing after a transplant. It may help those with a condition called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), a type of chronic rejection that makes it harder to breathe.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07216144Enrolling by invitation
Lung cancer screening outreach in at-risk New Yorkers
This study helps patients at Ryan Health who are at risk for lung cancer get a free lung cancer screening (a low-dose CT scan). If you're between 50 and 80, smoke or used to smoke, and haven't had this scan in the past year, you may be able to participate.
New York, New YorkAges 50–80 - NCT06950112Recruiting
Comparing two breathing methods for obese patients during weight-loss surgery
This trial tests a personalized way of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery to reduce lung stress. It compares a tailored approach with standard care in people with obesity.
Tanta, El GharbiaAges 18–60 - NCT07747337Recruiting
Lung transplant recovery study
This study looks at how your breathing muscles and leg muscles work before and after a lung transplant. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery and physical function after surgery.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06679257Recruiting
Liquid biopsy for lung transplant damage classification
This study tests a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to detect and classify damage to a transplanted lung. It aims to find signs of rejection or injury earlier, which could help doctors treat problems sooner.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07350265Recruiting
Testing a lung surgery technique to reduce air leaks
This study tests a special ventilation method during lung surgery to see if it can predict air leaks after the procedure. If successful, it could help patients recover more smoothly after a lobectomy or segmentectomy.
AntonyAges 18 years+ - NCT06876831Recruiting
Lung cancer screening for current and recent smokers
This study aims to create a program to help people get screened for lung cancer while they are in the hospital. It is for people who are at higher risk due to their age and smoking history.
New York, New YorkAges 50–80 - NCT07042035Recruiting
A study of once-daily tacrolimus for new lung transplant patients
This trial tests a special form of tacrolimus (Envarsus) taken once daily to prevent organ rejection in people who recently received a first lung transplant. The study will follow patients for at least 12 months.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07682610Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,881 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.
