Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06162221RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of RAS inhibitors for advanced RAS-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests new drugs that target specific RAS mutations in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people whose cancer has a KRAS G12C, G12D, or other RAS mutation and who have already tried standard treatments.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01385722Enrolling by invitation
Molecular testing for cancers in the chest
This study looks at the genetic changes (molecular analysis) in certain cancers of the chest. It may help doctors learn more about what drives these cancers and how they might be diagnosed or treated in the future.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07462377RecruitingPhase 1
Testing EPI-326 for EGFR-mutant lung and head & neck cancers
This trial tests a new drug, EPI-326, in people with advanced lung or head & neck cancers that have certain EGFR changes. The goal is to see if it is safe and may help shrink the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05098132RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
STK-012 drug for advanced lung cancer and other tumors
This trial tests STK-012 (alone and with other treatments) in people with advanced cancers, especially non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by activating the immune system to recognize and fight the tumor.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06060613RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
OBX-115 cell therapy for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called OBX-115 for people with advanced melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells to fight the cancer. The study aims to see if it is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06747585RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ALE.P02 for advanced squamous cell cancers with CLDN1
This trial tests a new drug called ALE.P02 for people with advanced squamous cell cancers (like lung, head and neck, esophagus, or skin cancer) that have a certain protein called CLDN1. The drug is given alone and aims to shrink or stop the cancer.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07458347RecruitingPhase 1
A new oral drug for KRAS-mutated advanced cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug, KST-6051, for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, pancreatic, colon, or other cancers) that have a specific KRAS gene mutation. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it's safe.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07517198RecruitingPhase 1
EXS74539 Study for Advanced Solid Tumors
This is an early-stage study testing a new cancer drug called EXS74539 to find the right dose and see how well it works in people with various advanced solid tumors. The drug may help patients whose cancers have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07218003Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Study of RNDO-564 alone or with pembrolizumab for bladder cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug, RNDO-564, either by itself or combined with another drug (pembrolizumab), for people with advanced bladder cancer or other solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07127874RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PHN-012 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called PHN-012 for people with advanced colorectal, non-small cell lung, or pancreatic cancer who have already tried at least one standard treatment. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink or slow tumor growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04665739RecruitingPhase 2
Lutetium Lu-177 for lung carcinoid tumors with somatostatin receptors
This trial tests lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, a targeted radiation treatment, for advanced lung neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors that have a specific marker called somatostatin receptors. It may help shrink tumors by delivering radiation directly to cancer cells that “light up” on a special scan.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05987644RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Timing of brain radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer with brain mets
This trial tests whether it is better to delay brain radiation or give it right away in people with ALK-positive lung cancer that has spread to the brain and is causing few or no symptoms. If you are starting alectinib, you may be able to join and help find the best timing for radiation.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02984761Recruiting
Surgery vs focused radiation for early lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat early-stage lung cancer: surgery or a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiotherapy. It aims to find out which approach works best for people whose cancer is small and has not spread.
West Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.

What taking part in a non small cell lung cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there non small cell lung cancer clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 254 recruiting non small cell lung cancer studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a non small cell lung cancer study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a non small cell lung cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
