Seongnam-si, Not Required For This CountryAges 40 years+ - NCT03120481Recruiting
Check how respiratory health changes in people without lung problems
This trial enrolls adults who recently had a chest X-ray as part of routine health screening and did not show major abnormal findings, and who do not have significant breathing symptoms. It may help researchers understand changes in respiratory health over time and improve how respiratory disease risk is monitored.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–90 - NCT06256237RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (toripalimab and JS004) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink limited-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to find better ways to treat this cancer before surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05986318RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing breathing issues from lung radiation in people with ILD
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications (dexamethasone and N-acetyl cysteine) can reduce breathing problems caused by radiation to lung tumors in patients who have both lung cancer and fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). It aims to find a better way to manage side effects from radiation.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06326957Recruiting
Online program for chronic breathlessness
This trial tests an internet-based self-guided program to help adults with chronic breathlessness. It is designed for people who still feel short of breath despite treatment for conditions like COPD, lung disease, or cancer.
LondonAges 18–110 - NCT06341933Recruiting
Kidney risk after lung cancer surgery (VATS)
This study looks at why some people develop kidney problems after lung cancer surgery using small incisions (VATS). By tracking your recovery, the doctors hope to find ways to protect your kidneys during and after surgery.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 18–65 - NCT06780826Recruiting
Atezolizumab plus chemo for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy helps people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It is for those who have not had treatment for this stage yet.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07608835Recruiting
Lung Cancer Biomarkers and Immune Treatment Study
This study looks for biological markers (special signs in your body) that could help doctors choose better immune-based treatments for non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers will study your tumor and blood to understand which patients might benefit most from immunotherapy.
Marseille, Institut Paoli CalmettesAges 18 years+ - NCT07243873Recruiting
Improving lung cancer diagnosis with synthetic PET scans
This study uses a computer-generated PET scan from your CT scan to help doctors diagnose and plan treatment for non-small cell lung cancer more precisely. It is observational, meaning no new treatments are given—just extra imaging analysis.
Zunyi, GuizhouAges 18–85 - NCT07323056RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant drug combo for stage 3 EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests two drugs, sacituzumab tirumotecan and limertinib, given before surgery to people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor enough to allow surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05053802RecruitingPhase 2
Microwave tumor ablation plus immunotherapy for multiple lung cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether combining microwave ablation (a procedure to destroy lung tumors) with an immune checkpoint inhibitor can control multiple early lung cancers safely. It also aims to see how well the immune treatment helps after ablation, in people whose cancers have not spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–79 - NCT06019468RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery Treatment for Advanced Thymic Cancer
This trial tests a new treatment given before surgery for people with advanced thymic carcinoma. It aims to shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07180823Recruiting
Lung nodule tagging before surgery using a navigation system
This trial uses a special navigation system to place tiny markers next to lung nodules before surgery. This helps surgeons find and remove the nodule more precisely.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07060625Enrolling by invitation
Does a raised position help oxygen after lung surgery?
This study tests whether a slightly raised head-and-shoulders position (semi-recumbent) helps prevent low oxygen levels after lung surgery. If you are having a small-incision lung removal, it may help you breathe better after the operation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT05001009Enrolling by invitation
Goals of care conversation support for certain serious illnesses
This study helps primary care clinicians and their patients have structured “goals of care” conversations (about what matters most and care preferences). It may help you get clearer, earlier planning—especially if you have a serious illness and higher risk of hospitalization or death.
