Lattice radiotherapy with standard care for slow-growing lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a special radiotherapy technique called lattice radiotherapy to your usual cancer treatment can help control NSCLC that has started to grow in a few new spots. If you have up to 5 growing tumors and at least one measures 4.5 cm or larger, this study might be an option.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07195084Recruiting
Proton therapy for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a new type of proton radiation for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if it's safe and works well, with less damage to healthy tissue.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06046495RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an oral EGFR inhibitor for non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests PLB1004, an oral medication that targets a specific gene mutation (EGFR) in non-small cell lung cancer. It may be an option if you have this mutation and are looking for a new treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,490 recruiting small cell lung cancer studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a small cell lung cancer trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a small cell lung cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
