Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07017829RecruitingPhase 2
GT103 plus pembrolizumab for STK11 mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called GT103 combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific genetic change (STK11 mutation) and has continued to grow despite prior pembrolizumab treatment. The goal is to see if adding GT103 can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06249282RecruitingPhase 1
Carfilzomib and sotorasib for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs: carfilzomib and sotorasib, for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (KRAS G12C mutation) who have already tried a KRAS-targeting drug that stopped working. The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06731270RecruitingPhase 2
Diclofenac for advanced lung cancer on immunotherapy
This trial tests whether adding the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors are growing while on a single immunotherapy drug. You must have been on immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks and have a growing tumor, but your doctor does not plan to change your treatment right away.

Cemiplimab for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests a drug called cemiplimab (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced lung cancer that has high PD-L1 levels. It uses a simple blood test to track how well the treatment is working.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT07012031RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sotorasib and trastuzumab deruxtecan for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, sotorasib and trastuzumab deruxtecan, for people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation. It may be an option if you've already had treatment with a KRAS G12C inhibitor, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07188480Recruiting
DNA and RNA testing for advanced lung cancer
This study tests a new way to analyze DNA and RNA from lung tumor samples taken during a bronchoscopy. It aims to find genetic changes that could help guide treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06939127RecruitingPhase 2
Cold therapy, immunotherapy, and chemo before and after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a treatment that uses extreme cold (cryoablation) along with immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and chemotherapy before and after surgery for people with early-stage lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06463665RecruitingPhase 2
Virus therapy with chemo and immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to attack cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than a different chemotherapy drug alone.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07104630RecruitingPhase 2
Pulmonary rehab for advanced lung cancer
This study tests a pulmonary rehabilitation program—special exercises and breathing training—to help people with advanced lung cancer feel less short of breath and improve their daily function and quality of life.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07250477RecruitingPhase 2
Guided immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether using a blood test to guide treatment can improve outcomes for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are starting immunotherapy for the first time. Participants will receive standard immunotherapy tailored to their individual risk profile.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07394062Recruiting
Comparing chemo-immunotherapy combinations for advanced lung cancer
This study compares two standard treatments for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer when the tumor has low levels of a protein called PD-L1. It looks at how well chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab works versus chemotherapy plus nivolumab and ipilimumab.

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+ - NCT03191149RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib for lung cancer with an EGFR exon 20 change
This Phase 2 study tests osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have an EGFR exon 20 insertion. It aims to see how well osimertinib works for this specific EGFR mutation and how safe it is.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 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+ - NCT05255302RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Shorter immune maintenance for stage IV lung cancer after initial treatment
This trial tests whether giving immune therapy maintenance for a shorter time helps people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are doing well after initial chemo-immunotherapy. It aims to keep the cancer controlled while possibly reducing treatment exposure and side effects.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18–74 - NCT06014827RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation and osimertinib for lung cancer with EGFR mutation
This trial tests a new approach for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation (Ex19del or L858R) and has started to grow again after at least six months on osimertinib. It combines two types of focused radiation with continued osimertinib to treat only the progressing spots while keeping the rest of the disease under control.
