Recruiting studies
- NCT06680050RecruitingPhase 2
Study of radiation plus two drugs for advanced lung cancer after prior treatment
This trial tests whether adding two drugs, durvalumab and ceralasertib, after radiotherapy can help patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has come back in the chest or spread to a few other spots after previous treatment with durvalumab. It aims to improve outcomes by boosting the immune system's ability to fight the cancer.
BresciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06610734RecruitingPhase 2

This trial tests a new investigational drug called TRI-611 for people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. It is designed for people who have already tried other ALK-targeted medicines, especially lorlatinib, and whose cancer may have stopped responding to them.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05991193Recruiting
Study for lung cancer with brain spread and EGFR mutation
This trial tests a treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain or spine. It is for those whose cancer has a specific EGFR mutation (19Del or L858R) and who have not yet received treatment for their advanced cancer.

Testing primer shot radiotherapy for lung cancer
This study is testing a new way of giving a very short, high-dose radiation treatment (called 'primer shot' radiotherapy) for people with non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if it’s safe and practical for shrinking the main lung tumor and relieving symptoms.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06043973RecruitingPhase 3
Almonertinib plus anlotinib for first-line advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (almonertinib and anlotinib) as first treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has specific gene changes (EGFR and TP53 mutations). The goal is to see if the pair works better than standard care.

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07224152RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation for inoperable lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called NBTXR3, which makes cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. You'll get one injection of NBTXR3 into your lung tumor, followed by standard radiation. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot have surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06371482RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus chemoradiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT06106802RecruitingPhase 2
Testing lazertinib and tepotinib for EGFR lung cancer that progressed on lazertinib
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, lazertinib and tepotinib, for people with advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors show MET overactivity (high MET levels or MET gene copies) and have grown despite prior treatment with lazertinib. It aims to see if adding tepotinib can overcome that resistance.
Seoul, Gangnam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT06107374RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging for immunotherapy in advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a special imaging scan called [18F]-FARAG to see how well it shows the activity of immunotherapy in advanced NSCLC. The goal is to help doctors understand if the treatment is working earlier than standard scans.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06102928Recruiting
Anlotinib plus Aumolertinib for first-line treatment of advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (anlotinib and aumolertinib) as the first treatment for advanced lung cancer with a specific EGFR mutation (L858R). The goal is to see if the combination works better than standard care.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18 years+ - NCT05429463RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-ready lung cancer treatment with immunotherapy plus chemo
This trial studies adding an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) to standard chemotherapy before surgery for resectable squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes, while still keeping the cancer operable.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06491862Recruiting
