Recruiting studies
- NCT06352008RecruitingPhase 2

This trial tests if anlotinib (a targeted therapy) can help prevent lung cancer from returning after surgery for patients whose tumors did not completely disappear after chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT06379087RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation, immunotherapy and targeted therapy for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy before surgery, followed by the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab and the targeted therapy drug anlotinib after surgery, for people with stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients whose tumors can be removed surgically.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06424899RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoimmunotherapy before and after chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This study tests whether combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy before and after chemoradiation helps people with stage III lung cancer that can be removed by surgery. It might improve how well treatment works and reduce the chance of cancer coming back.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06431633RecruitingPhase 3
Sacituzumab and zimberelimab for lung cancer after surgery
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (sacituzumab and zimberelimab) for people with non-small cell lung cancer that was confined to the chest, was surgically removed, but not completely cleared by prior chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06437977RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery treatment with radiation, immunotherapy, and chemo for stage II-III NSCLC
This trial tests whether combining radiation, an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab), and chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people with resectable stage II to III non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this approach works better than standard chemotherapy alone.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06492421RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving two immunotherapy drugs directly into the tumor before surgery can shrink non-small cell lung cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people with early-stage (IIIA) lung cancer who are candidates for surgery.

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.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06634199Recruiting
Immune response after chemoradiation and immunotherapy for stage III lung cancer
This study looks at how the body’s immune system responds in people with stage III lung cancer (not removable by surgery) who first get chemotherapy and radiation and then receive the immunotherapy drug durvalumab for one year. It aims to learn more about the immune response and why the treatment works better for some people.

Low-dose nivolumab plus chemo for early lung cancer
This trial tests a lower dose of the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) combined with standard chemotherapy before surgery for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to see if this combination shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes with fewer side effects.
São José do Rio Preto, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06693336RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant chemotherapy trial for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug called SMS001 (a form of paclitaxel) after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back.

Chemo and immunotherapy with targeted radiation before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation before surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06734182RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy plus chemo before surgery for HER2-mutant lung cancer
This study tests a combination of two targeted drugs (envafolimab and disitamab vedotin) plus chemotherapy (carboplatin) given before surgery for lung cancer that has a HER2 mutation. The goal is to see if this can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06755684RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery targeted drug combo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (befotertinib) given before surgery, either with another targeted drug (bevacizumab) or with standard chemotherapy. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for people with a specific type of lung cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06756217Recruiting
PET scan to check early response to immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-grazytracer) to see if it can predict early whether immunotherapy is working in people with lung cancer that can be surgically removed. If successful, this scan could help doctors tailor treatment sooner.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06788912RecruitingPhase 2
Study of pembrolizumab plus other drugs before lung cancer surgery
This trial is testing a new combination of drugs (including pembrolizumab) as a treatment before surgery for people with a certain type of lung cancer. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06810609RecruitingPhase 2
Immunochemotherapy, surgery, and durvalumab for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and either surgery or radiation for people with stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding the drug durvalumab after standard treatment helps control the cancer better.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–74 - NCT06918132RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab and Fianlimab before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether two immunotherapy drugs (cemiplimab and fianlimab) given before surgery can help treat stage IB to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. You must have a PD-L1 level of at least 1% and your surgeon must think the tumor can be fully removed.

- 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.
