St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06096844RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus immunotherapy vs immunotherapy alone for older adults with advanced lung cancer
This trial compares chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy to immunotherapy alone for adults 70 and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific protein level (PD-L1 1-49%). It aims to find which treatment works better for this group.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 70 years+ - NCT06775275RecruitingPhase 2
Testing adebrelimab plus chemo before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a new drug (adebrelimab) combined with standard chemotherapy, with or without another drug (bevacizumab), given before surgery for people with a certain type of lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor and makes surgery more effective.
GuangzhouAges 18–65 - NCT07584239Recruiting
Physical therapy and relaxation before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether physical therapy exercises and relaxation techniques done before surgery can help adults with lung cancer feel stronger, recover better, and have better surgical outcomes. You'll work with specialists to prepare your body and mind for the operation.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05778708Recruiting
Tai Chi and aerobic exercise for mood and sleep in late lung cancer
This study tests whether Tai Chi and aerobic exercise can improve clusters of emotional symptoms—like anxiety, low mood, poor sleep, and fatigue—in people with late-stage non-small cell lung cancer. If you have these symptoms and are not already doing regular exercise programs, the trial may offer a structured way to feel better.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05837052RecruitingPhase 2
Serplulimab plus chemo after initial treatment for lung cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at how safe and effective serplulimab (an immune medicine) combined with chemotherapy is when used as a “conversion” plan—first shrinking lung cancer, then trying to remove the main tumor with surgery. It may help some people who are not initially good candidates for surgery or focused radiation to become eligible after treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06276530Recruiting
Lung surgery: large incision vs. robotic approach and breathing
This study compares how different types of lung surgery (a large incision vs. robotic-assisted small cuts) affect your posture and breathing. It aims to help doctors choose the best approach for recovery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03819296RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant to treat cancer immunotherapy bowel side effects
This early-phase study tests whether changing your gut bacteria with a fecal transplant can improve diarrhea or colitis caused by cancer immunotherapy. It may help people whose symptoms have not fully settled with standard treatments like steroids and other immune-blocking medicines.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05198154Recruiting
Blood test to watch lung cancer risk after immunotherapy
This trial uses a special blood test to look for tiny cancer DNA to estimate your risk of the cancer getting worse after first immunotherapy. It aims to help doctors monitor progression earlier and more accurately in advanced lung cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05292521Recruiting
Quality-of-life program to help early lung cancer decisions
This trial tests a quality-of-life support program meant to help people with early-stage lung cancer think through their treatment choices. It may help you feel more informed and more confident about deciding between treatments like surgery and SBRT.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05501665RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adaptive radiation plus pembrolizumab for stage IV lung cancer
This trial tests a personalized (“adaptive”) radiation plan combined with pembrolizumab, and possibly chemotherapy, for advanced stage IV lung cancer. It aims to improve cancer control while carefully managing side effects, including in patients with certain brain metastases.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05672108RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo delivered into lung tumors using a catheter
This trial studies a treatment that delivers chemotherapy directly to lung tumors by placing a catheter into lung blood vessels. It may help people with lung cancer or lung metastases that are growing despite standard treatment, or who cannot tolerate it.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06110572RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Total body irradiation with immunotherapy for extensive SCLC
This trial adds total body irradiation (a low dose of radiation to the whole body) to standard atezolizumab (immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the radiation helps the immunotherapy work better.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06225427RecruitingPhase 1
Gilteritinib for advanced ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests a drug called gilteritinib for people with a specific genetic type of lung cancer (ALK-positive) that has spread and has been treated before. You may be eligible if you have already tried at least one targeted therapy, and your cancer is still growing.
