Freezing lung tumors plus immunotherapy for liver cancer with lung spread
This study tests a combination of treatments—freezing the lung tumors (cryoablation) plus two drugs (cardonilizumab and bevacizumab)—for people with liver cancer that has spread only to their lungs. It may be an option if your first treatment stopped working but your liver tumors are under control.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT05041140Recruiting
Xenon MRI test for lung problems after stem cell transplant
This study uses a special MRI test with xenon gas to look at lung function in adults who had a stem cell transplant and now have breathing-related complications. It may help doctors measure lung impairment more clearly and track changes over time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03774758Recruiting
Blood tests to estimate lung cancer risk over 3 years
This study looks for blood “biomarkers” (measurable signs in blood) that may help predict who is at higher or lower risk related to lung cancer. You would have blood samples taken and then be followed with visits for up to 3 years.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT06451003Recruiting
Preventing blood clots after cancer surgery: a program trial
This trial tests a program to help people who had cancer surgery get medicine to prevent dangerous blood clots. If you had belly or pelvic cancer surgery and are not on blood thinners, you may be able to join.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06528418Recruiting
Breath test to find lung diseases
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–100 - NCT05965024Recruiting
Using ctDNA blood tests to predict lung cancer return after surgery
This study checks whether a special blood test (ctDNA) taken before and after surgery can predict whether non-small cell lung cancer will come back. If it works, it may help doctors spot recurrence earlier and guide follow-up care after tumor removal.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07482475Recruiting
COPD study for people getting lung cancer screening
This study looks at COPD in people who are already getting lung cancer screening. If you have COPD or a high risk for it, joining this observational trial may help researchers learn more about your condition.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 50–80 - NCT06889467Recruiting
Testing leftover fluid from lymph node biopsies to find lung cancer
This trial is for people who are scheduled for a lung cancer biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) because doctors suspect non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has spread to lymph nodes. It will test leftover fluid from the biopsy to see if it improves cancer detection. If your biopsy is negative but you still need surgery to remove lymph nodes, you can help us learn more about this new test.
AshkelonAges 18 years+ - NCT07401615Recruiting
Repeat SBRT for Recurrent Lung Tumors
This trial tests giving another round of intense radiation (SBRT) to lung tumors that have come back after a previous SBRT treatment. It is for people who cannot have surgery and whose other cancer (if any) is under control.
Bergamo, BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT04539977RecruitingPhase 2
PD-L1 antibody plus chemotherapy for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a PD-L1 antibody to chemotherapy helps people with newly diagnosed limited-stage small-cell lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. It may benefit patients who have not had any prior cancer treatment for SCLC and can meet health and lab requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07707245Recruiting
Finding biomarkers in lung disease and lung cancer
This trial studies blood and tissue samples from people with COPD, IPF, or lung cancer to find markers that can help diagnose and predict these conditions. It aims to discover why some lung diseases progress to cancer.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06518655Recruiting
Can a breath test tell if a lung nodule is cancer?
This trial is testing a simple breath test to see if it can tell whether a lung nodule is cancer or not. If you have a lung nodule that will be removed by surgery, you may be able to help find out if breathing into a device can replace more invasive tests.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07045532Recruiting
MRI to check BTVA and nodule ablation results
This trial uses special MRI scans to see how well two treatments work: thermal steam ablation for COPD and ablation (radiofrequency, microwave, or freezing) for lung nodules. The goal is to find out if MRI can measure the effects of these treatments more accurately.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05502523Recruiting
Blood test DNA levels after lung surgery
This study looks at how different lung surgical techniques affect levels of tumor DNA in the blood before and after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It may help doctors choose surgical approaches and use a blood test to monitor cancer after surgery.
Abington, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06542159RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive radiation for early-stage lung cancer or small metastases
This trial tests a more precise radiation technique (stereotactic body radiotherapy) for early-stage lung cancer or small lung tumors. It aims to reduce side effects by eliminating the usual safety margin around the tumor.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07211529Recruiting
Nerve block during chest surgery to reduce complications
This trial tests whether a numbing injection near the spine (paravertebral block) given during keyhole chest surgery can lower the risk of problems after surgery. It might help patients recover more comfortably.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06950515Recruiting
Anesthesia vs sedation for lung nodule biopsy
This trial compares general anesthesia with conscious sedation during a special ultrasound-guided lung biopsy. It aims to find which approach is safer and more comfortable for diagnosing small lung lesions.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06761144Recruiting
Detecting blood clots in lungs of cancer patients in the ER
This trial studies how to quickly and safely rule out blood clots in the lungs of cancer patients who come to the emergency room. It aims to help doctors make faster decisions and avoid unnecessary treatments for people with cancer.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT05857800Recruiting
Studying how lung tumor treatment affects the tumor environment
This trial studies how “before-surgery” (neoadjuvant) lung cancer treatments change the tumor environment by monitoring patients during care. It may help doctors better choose therapies and predict who benefits from treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07057648Recruiting
Robot-assisted lung biopsy for lung nodules in South Korea
This trial uses a robot-assisted bronchoscope to take tissue samples from lung nodules. It may help diagnose lung cancer or other conditions without major surgery.
UlsanAges 19 years+ - NCT07328945Recruiting
Personalized treatment for non-small cell lung cancer using a tumor model
