Recruiting studies
- NCT05798845RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab plus radiation before surgery for stage II–IIIA lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding toripalimab (an immunotherapy medicine) to radiation can improve outcomes for people with operable stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. It’s designed for cancers that can be fully removed with surgery, and it aims to see if this combination helps more than radiation alone/standard care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07082179RecruitingPhase 2

Study comparing new targeted drug plus chemo vs osimertinib for lung cancer with brain tumors
This trial tests a new targeted therapy called furmonertinib combined with chemotherapy against the current standard osimertinib for people with a specific type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. It aims to find a better treatment option for patients whose cancer cells have a common EGFR mutation.
Guangdong, GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06953843RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and Immunotherapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation and immunotherapy to see if it can make the immune system attack cancer throughout the body in people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to many places. It's for those whose cancer does not have certain genetic changes and who have not had uncontrolled brain metastases.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05841472RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer without EGFR or ALK
This Phase 2 trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab, combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin, can work better as first treatment for advanced lung cancer that has no EGFR or ALK gene changes. You may be able to join if you have measurable disease, good enough organ function, and meet other safety rules for immune treatment.
AnamAges 19–80 - NCT06907160Recruiting
Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy given before surgery for stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer. Doctors will look at biomarkers in your blood and tissue to see how the cancer responds, which could help guide future treatments.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06868836RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new antibody combination for advanced lung cancer after targeted therapy
This trial tests a new drug (JS207) that targets both PD-1 and VEGF pathways, given alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific gene change and has stopped responding to targeted therapy (TKI). The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05651802Recruiting
Brain MRI follow-up with or without preventive scans in SCLC
This study tests whether adding a preventive brain procedure (PCI) to standard follow-up brain MRIs helps people with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer stay disease-free longer. It compares “MRI only” versus “MRI plus PCI” after the cancer has fully responded to initial treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07122687RecruitingPhase 2
IBI363 or Pembrolizumab with Chemo before Lung Cancer Surgery
This trial tests two different drug combinations (IBI363 plus chemo versus pembrolizumab plus chemo) given before surgery for people with a specific type of lung cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better at shrinking the tumor and helping patients recover.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06617936RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus endostatin and chemo for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab), an anti-angiogenic drug (endostatin), and standard chemotherapy for people with stage III lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.

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.

- 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.
