Study of datopotamab deruxtecan vs docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, datopotamab deruxtecan, against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with advanced non-squamous lung cancer that has gotten worse after previous treatment. It is for those who do not have certain genetic changes (like EGFR, ALK, or ROS1) and whose tumors have a protein called TROP2.
Brandywine, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04804644RecruitingPhase 3
Memory-sparing radiation for brain metastases in small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether focusing high-dose radiation only on brain tumor spots, while avoiding the hippocampus (a brain area important for memory), helps protect memory and thinking compared with standard whole-brain radiation. It’s for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Annapolis, MarylandAges 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.
Randallstown, MarylandAges 19–110 - 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 - NCT02682667Recruiting
Providing blood samples for cancer immunotherapy research
This study collects and stores blood/tissue samples (called biospecimens) to support immunotherapy research at the cancer center. If you may qualify, your samples help researchers test new immune-based cancer treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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+ - 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.
Annapolis, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05098132RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
STK-012 drug for advanced lung cancer and other tumors
This trial tests STK-012 (alone and with other treatments) in people with advanced cancers, especially non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by activating the immune system to recognize and fight the tumor.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07327489Recruiting
Live tumor biopsy study to predict immunotherapy response
This trial studies how well immunotherapy might work by analyzing fresh tumor biopsies. It may help predict which treatments are best for your cancer.
Frederick, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04945317Enrolling by invitation
ROSE to improve lung cancer marker testing with a breathing scope
This trial studies a quick scan method (called ROSE) during bronchoscopy to help doctors get the right lung cancer tissue and test cancer markers more accurately. If you are being evaluated for non-small cell lung cancer, the study may improve how well and how fast your samples can be tested.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05885698Recruiting
Study of care patterns in newly diagnosed lung cancer
This observational study follows adults with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer to understand what treatments are used and how patients are doing. It may help doctors better understand how care decisions affect outcomes, and it does not require the study to give an experimental treatment.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06418204Recruiting

What taking part in a small cell lung cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
