Recruiting studies
- NCT06755684RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery targeted drug combo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer

Sankt Pölten, Lower AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07469709Recruiting
Cancer risk study using genetics and monitoring
This study looks at genetic and other factors in people with certain cancers to better understand personal cancer risks and improve monitoring. It may help find ways to detect changes earlier.
Candiolo, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT07428044RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab Deruxtecan for HER2-mutant lung cancer before surgery
This trial tests a targeted drug, trastuzumab deruxtecan, for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific HER2 gene change. The treatment is given before surgery to shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05477979Recruiting
Study how stress affects lung cancer treatment outcomes
This study looks at whether psychological stress changes how well lung cancer treatments work and what the outlook is. You may qualify if you’re about to start (or recently started) certain immunotherapy-based treatments, and you can complete stress and well-being questionnaires.

Neoadjuvant drug combo for stage 3 EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests two drugs, sacituzumab tirumotecan and limertinib, given before surgery to people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor enough to allow surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07279935RecruitingPhase 4
Osimertinib plus chemotherapy for lung cancer that returned after osimertinib
This trial tests a new combination of the drug osimertinib with chemotherapy for people whose lung cancer has returned after they took osimertinib alone following surgery. It aims to see if this combined approach helps control the cancer better.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06930807Recruiting
Blood test for monitoring lung cancer after surgery
This study tests whether a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) can help doctors monitor for cancer returning after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It is for people with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed with surgery.

Sunvozertinib after surgery for early-stage NSCLC with certain EGFR mutations
This trial tests the drug sunvozertinib given after surgery to see if it prevents lung cancer from coming back. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that has specific changes in the EGFR gene (exon20 insertion or PACC mutations).
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07154706RecruitingPhase 3
Taletrectinib vs placebo after surgery for ROS1-positive lung cancer
This trial tests whether taletrectinib (a targeted pill) can help prevent lung cancer from coming back after surgery in people whose tumors have a ROS1 gene change. You would take either taletrectinib or a placebo (inactive pill) for about a year after surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07132918RecruitingPhase 2
Heart-Sparing Radiation for Thoracic Cancers
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation for cancers in the chest area (like lung, esophageal, or thymus cancers) that aims to protect the heart from high doses of radiation. It is for people who need daily radiation for at least three weeks and who are expected to live more than a year.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07122687RecruitingPhase 2
IBI363 or Pembrolizumab with Chemo before Lung Cancer Surgery
This trial tests two different drug combinations (IBI363 plus chemo versus pembrolizumab plus chemo) given before surgery for people with a specific type of lung cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better at shrinking the tumor and helping patients recover.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT07120698RecruitingPhase 2
MRD-guided sintilimab after surgery for NSCLC
This trial tests whether using the immunotherapy drug sintilimab after surgery, guided by a blood test that looks for tiny bits of cancer DNA (MRD), can help keep non-small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people who had immunotherapy before surgery and still had some cancer left after the operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 28–75 - NCT07086456RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and two targeted drugs (surufatinib and tislelizumab) for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach works better than standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07084610RecruitingPhase 2
Metabolic markers predict response to immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether certain markers in your blood or tissue can predict how well immunotherapy works before surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to find out who benefits most from this treatment.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06598527RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests adding targeted radiation before standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people with stage 2-3 non-small cell lung cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the radiation helps shrink the tumor more before surgery.

Study of D-BACE, chemo, and carlizumab for lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new drug (D-BACE), chemotherapy, and carlizumab for people with a certain type and stage of lung cancer that can be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improves outcomes.

Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06205927RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon Ion Boost for Advanced Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy (carbon ion boost) to people with advanced, inoperable lung cancer. The goal is to see if targeting the most aggressive parts of the tumor with a higher dose can improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06931717RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after lung cancer surgery for those not getting chemo

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stage iiia non-small cell lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 88 recruiting stage iiia non-small cell lung cancer 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 stage iiia non-small cell lung cancer 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 stage iiia non-small cell lung cancer 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.
