Recruiting studies
- NCT02838836Recruiting
Checking for cancer DNA and tumor cells in bodily samples
This study looks for cancer-related material in blood, urine, and sometimes bone marrow. It may help researchers understand how to detect cancer activity and track it over time using less invasive tests.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT02688894Recruiting
Molecular testing for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This study uses tumor tissue to look for molecular (biologic) changes after your small cell lung cancer comes back. It may help doctors choose the most appropriate next treatment based on what the cancer’s biology shows.
IncheonAges 20 years+ - NCT02978521Recruiting
Pulmonary rehab program for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether a structured breathing and activity program (pulmonary rehabilitation) can help people with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. It may help improve breathing and daily function alongside standard cancer treatment.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–70 - NCT02468024RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery or focused radiation for early lung cancer
This study compares two treatments—removing only part of the lung (sublobar resection) versus a focused radiation approach (stereotactic ablative radiotherapy)—for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which option works better with fewer problems for the right patients.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02622581Recruiting
Lung cancer research registry for treatment and outcomes
This study collects information from people with lung cancer to understand how different treatments work and what outcomes they have. It includes patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC) at various stages.
OldenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT02570815RecruitingPhase 1
Fluorescent-guided robotic lung surgery for early lung cancer
This early-stage trial tests a robotic lung surgery that uses a special dye with near-infrared light to help the surgeon remove only the tumor area. If you have a small, early lung cancer, this approach may help improve accuracy while limiting how much lung is removed.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02133196RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell treatment for lung cancer that has spread
This Phase 2 study tests a T-cell–based immunotherapy for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite prior treatment. It may help your immune system recognize and fight your cancer using cells made from your tumor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT02146170Recruiting
Blood and tissue collection study for several lung and chest cancers
This study collects tissue (and follows patients over time) to better understand the natural course of several types of chest cancers. It may help researchers learn which tests and treatments work best in different cancer types.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01786590Recruiting
Ultrasound biopsy to stage lung cancer before SBRT
This trial looks at using a scope with an ultrasound tip (EBUS-TBNA) to take small tissue samples from lymph nodes to figure out the cancer stage before stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The goal is to help confirm how far the cancer has spread so SBRT can be planned appropriately.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges 19–110 - NCT01803542RecruitingPhase 2
Stereotactic radiation for lung metastases or early lung tumors
This trial studies a precise, high-dose radiation technique (SBRT) to treat tumors in the lungs. It may help control cancer in people who either have early-stage lung cancer that is not fully operable or have limited lung metastases from other cancers.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT01639508RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib for lung cancer with specific gene changes
This trial studies how well cabozantinib works in advanced lung cancer when the tumor has certain gene changes (like RET, ROS1, NTRK, MET, or AXL). It may help slow tumor growth after standard treatments, depending on your tumor test results.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 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+ - NCT00568490Recruiting
Finding blood markers that show low oxygen in tumors
This study looks for substances in blood that may reflect how “low-oxygen” a tumor is. If you have head and neck cancer or non-small cell lung cancer, it may help researchers understand tumor oxygen levels and improve future care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00897117Recruiting
Providing tumor tissue samples during lung cancer surgery
This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue from people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who are planning surgery. It may help researchers learn more about the cancer by studying samples taken at the time of your operation.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–120 - NCT00068003Enrolling by invitation
Harvesting Cancer Cells for Experimental Treatment
This trial collects immune cells from cancer patients or healthy volunteers to develop new experimental cancer treatments. Researchers will take a sample of your tumor or blood cells, grow them in the lab, and study how to use them to fight your cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04459065RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Imaging medicine to help find lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a special imaging drug (IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab) that may help surgeons better see lung cancer tissue during planned lung surgery. Phase 1/2 looks mainly at safety and how well the imaging works to guide the operation.
Saskatoon, SaskatchewanAges 18–80 - NCT06768151RecruitingPhase 1
CEA-targeting car-t therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called CAR-T therapy that targets a protein called CEA found on some lung cancer cells. It is for people with advanced lung cancer that has not responded to or has gotten worse after at least two standard treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07465848Recruiting
Testing telomere measurement to help diagnose lung cancer
This study uses a simple blood test to measure telomeres (parts of your DNA) to see if it can help detect lung cancer earlier. Researchers will compare results from people with lung cancer, heavy smokers, and low-risk individuals to improve diagnosis.
Elche, AlicanteAges 45 years+ - NCT07354919RecruitingPhase 2
Testing axelopran for advanced cancer patients on opioids
This trial tests if axelopran can help people with advanced prostate, breast, pancreatic, or lung cancer who are taking opioid pain medicines. It aims to see if the drug is safe and helps with bowel function.
Saint Louis Park, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07309276RecruitingPhase 2
Study of JS212 for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called JS212 combined with other treatments for people with advanced or spreading lung cancer. It aims to see if the combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06377124Recruiting
Smartphone program to help lung cancer patients manage symptoms
This study tests a smartphone-based program to help people with advanced lung cancer manage their symptoms and daily life. The program uses WhatsApp or WeChat to provide support and aims to improve quality of life.

CAR-T cell therapy for advanced CEA-positive lung cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune therapy called CAR-T cells that are designed to attack lung cancer cells with a specific marker called CEA. It may be an option for people with advanced lung cancer who have already tried other treatments.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06945523RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for CEA-positive advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a treatment using your own immune cells, modified to target a protein called CEA on lung cancer cells. It's for people with advanced lung cancer that has gotten worse after at least one prior treatment.
