Recruiting studies
- NCT07361497RecruitingPhase 3
New Drug vs Standard Drug After Chemoradiation for Stage 3 Lung Cancer
This study tests a new drug, pumitamig, against an older drug, durvalumab, for people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has not progressed after chemotherapy and radiation. The goal is to see which drug works better to keep the cancer from growing.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06096844RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus immunotherapy vs immunotherapy alone for older adults with advanced lung cancer

Personalized cancer vaccine for solid tumors with MRD
This trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine for people with certain cancers (bladder, stomach/esophagus, melanoma, or lung) who have no visible cancer after surgery but still have tiny bits of cancer DNA in their blood (called MRD). The vaccine is designed to train your immune system to attack any remaining cancer cells.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07708870Recruiting
Nurse-led support for older adults with advanced lung cancer

Taipei, TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07149649RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Magnesium for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if adding magnesium supplements to standard first-line treatment (chemotherapy plus immunotherapy) improves outcomes for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It is for patients who have not had prior treatment for metastatic disease.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT07704658RecruitingPhase 4

New drug combo for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new two-drug combination (Dato-DXd and an immunotherapy called rilvegostomig) as the first treatment for people with advanced non-squamous lung cancer who have high PD-L1 levels. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current standard options.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT03742687Recruiting
Testing a shorter, stronger radiation schedule for lung cancer
This trial studies a different way to deliver radiation to people with locally advanced, non-operable non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by aiming to treat the tumor effectively with a different radiation timing and dose pattern.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT03819296RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant to treat cancer immunotherapy bowel side effects
This early-phase study tests whether changing your gut bacteria with a fecal transplant can improve diarrhea or colitis caused by cancer immunotherapy. It may help people whose symptoms have not fully settled with standard treatments like steroids and other immune-blocking medicines.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03872661RecruitingPhase 2
New lung cancer medicines before surgery for unresectable stage III
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of IBI308 plus bevacizumab and pemetrexed/carboplatin given before surgery, aiming to shrink or control unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. It may help some people become eligible for surgery and improve outcomes, while also testing safety and effectiveness.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03948100Recruiting
Yoga coaching for lung or esophageal cancer during radiation
This study tests whether a guided yoga program helps people with lung or esophageal cancer improve strength, daily functioning, and quality of life while they receive radiation therapy. It also involves a family caregiver, to support the patient during treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06692738RecruitingPhase 3
Is a new immunotherapy better than Keytruda for squamous lung cancer?
This trial tests a new drug called Rilvegostomig against the standard drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda), both combined with chemotherapy, as a first treatment for advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which combination works better.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04165070RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stage IV lung cancer trial using pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy
This Phase 1/2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immune-based cancer treatment) either alone or with chemotherapy in people newly diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It looks at how well the treatments work and whether they are safe, especially in people who haven’t had treatment yet for metastatic disease.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04302025RecruitingPhase 2
Testing targeted and immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery
This trial studies whether giving different cancer medicines before (and sometimes after) surgery improves outcomes for people with early-stage, operable lung cancer that has certain tumor markers. It may help by trying to shrink or control the cancer early and lower the chance it comes back.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04317534RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab after lung cancer surgery versus observation
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) given after complete surgery can lower the chance that early-stage lung cancer comes back. You’ll be compared to standard follow-up without extra treatment to see if the drug helps more people stay cancer-free.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04486833RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Genetic-targeted drug plus gene medicine for EGFR lung cancer
This trial studies a gene-based treatment added to osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer that has started growing again on osimertinib. It may help by attacking the cancer with both its usual target treatment and an added genetic approach.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04499053RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab and tremelimumab with chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer in HIV
This trial tests a combination of immune therapy drugs (durvalumab and tremelimumab) given with chemotherapy in people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who also have HIV. It may help shrink or control cancer by boosting the immune response while keeping HIV well controlled.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04550104RecruitingPhase 1
Durvalumab with radiation for lung cancer patients
This trial tests adding durvalumab (an immune therapy) to a radiation treatment plan for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who can’t safely have chemotherapy at the same time or surgery first. It aims to improve cancer control after radiation by helping the immune system recognize and fight the tumor.
BelfastAges 18 years+ - NCT04616209RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer
This early-phase study tests immune cells given from a matched donor to treat advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. It aims to see how safe the treatment is and whether it can help control the cancer.
TaipeiAges 20–70 - 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 - NCT04789681RecruitingPhase 2
Canakinumab to prevent lung cancer from persistent lung nodules
This trial tests canakinumab to lower the risk of lung cancer growing from persistent lung nodules seen on CT scans. It may help people at higher risk who have either never had lung cancer or had early lung cancer treated in the past.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04892953RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus focused radiation for progressing stage III lung cancer
This trial studies adding focused radiation to some cancer spots in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer did not fully stop after standard chemoradiation and durvalumab. The goal is to control a small number of growing spots (or more than a few) and improve outcomes after durvalumab.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05339568Recruiting
Smartphone support program for people with advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a “whole process follow-up” care plan, using a smartphone, to support people with non-small cell lung cancer from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. It may help you manage care steps more smoothly if you’re not a candidate for curative (radical) treatment or don’t want surgery.
