Recruiting studies
- NCT06793813RecruitingPhase 2
Study of cadonilimab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called cadonilimab for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after treatment with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it helps control the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03042221Recruiting
Early re-biopsy to find why tumors survive targeted drugs
This study takes a small tumor sample early after starting targeted treatment (or uses blood if a biopsy isn’t possible) to look for clues—called biomarkers—about why some tumor cells survive. The results may help improve how future patients’ treatments are chosen for certain lung cancer gene mutations.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT07548060RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combination for advanced lung cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests two newer drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and furmonertinib) together for patients with advanced non-squamous lung cancer whose tumors have specific genetic mutations and have stopped responding to earlier EGFR-targeted drugs and chemotherapy. The goal is to find out if this combination can help patients whose cancer has progressed.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06028412Enrolling by invitation
Lobectomy vs. Sublobar Resection for Small NSCLC
This trial compares two types of lung surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. You may qualify if you have a small tumor (2 cm or less) with specific features on a CT scan. The goal is to see which surgery offers better outcomes.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–75 - NCT06810609RecruitingPhase 2
Immunochemotherapy, surgery, and durvalumab for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and either surgery or radiation for people with stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding the drug durvalumab after standard treatment helps control the cancer better.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–74 - NCT07122258Recruiting
Using the CAROL device to treat early stage lung cancer
This trial tests a new device called the CAROL that uses heat to destroy small lung tumors during surgery. It is for people with a specific type of early-stage lung cancer (stage 1, tumor 2 cm or smaller) that is located in the outer part of the lung and can be removed by surgery.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07565987Recruiting
Stereotactic Radiation for Advanced Lung Cancer Without Chemotherapy
This trial tests whether a special type of focused radiation therapy can effectively treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (the most common type) as an upfront treatment. It may help patients avoid or delay chemotherapy while controlling their cancer.
Jhajjar, HaryanaAges 18–75 - NCT05668650RecruitingPhase 3
Study MB12 versus Keytruda for newly diagnosed stage IV lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares MB12 with Keytruda (both cancer medicines) for people with newly diagnosed stage IV non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer. It looks at whether MB12 can work as well or better than Keytruda, and compares safety and immune responses.
Viedma, Río Negro ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07632365RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemoradiation for inoperable stage III lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy before and after standard chemoradiation for patients with stage III lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to chemoradiation alone.
Shanghai, XuhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06088771RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of dupilumab and cemiplimab before lung cancer surgery
This study tests two drugs, dupilumab and cemiplimab, given before surgery for early-stage lung cancer. The goal is to see if these immune-boosting medicines can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05940532RecruitingPhase 2
Sutimab plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer needing radiation
This trial tests a cancer-fighting antibody (sugemalimab) added to standard chemotherapy for stage III lung cancer that can’t be removed by surgery but may be treated with radiation. It aims to improve control of your cancer while checking safety and side effects.
ChangshaAges 18–75 - NCT06123754RecruitingPhase 3
Envafolimab plus chemo for stage III NSCLC before surgery
This trial tests a new immunotherapy (Envafolimab) combined with standard chemotherapy before and after surgery for stage III non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if adding Envafolimab helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05398094RecruitingPhase 2
Sotorasib for KRAS-mutant Stage III lung cancer without chemo-radiation
This Phase 2 study tests sotorasib (also called AMG510) in people with Stage III lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and that has a specific KRAS mutation (p.G12C). You may be able to join if you cannot safely receive chemo-radiotherapy at the same time, and the study checks whether sotorasib can help shrink or control the cancer.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT07010419RecruitingPhase 3
Firmonertinib vs placebo for early-stage lung cancer with rare EGFR mutations
This trial tests if Firmonertinib, a targeted pill, can prevent lung cancer from returning after surgery in people with non-small cell lung cancer that has certain uncommon EGFR gene changes. If you have had complete tumor removal and have one of these specific mutations, this study may help you stay cancer-free longer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05211895RecruitingPhase 3
Durvalumab plus domvanalimab after chemoradiation for stage 3 lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding durvalumab and domvanalimab after standard chemoradiation can keep unresectable stage 3 lung cancer from coming back or getting worse. It targets tumors with specific lab test results (including PD-L1 and gene markers).
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07153445RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab before and after surgery for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab, given before and after surgery, can help treat stage III non-small cell lung cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body. It is for people who have not had any previous cancer treatment for this disease.

This trial tests a new drug, PF-08634404, alone or with other treatments, for people with early-stage or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be surgically removed or has been treated with radiation and chemo. It aims to find if the drug helps before or after surgery or after standard treatments.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06561620RecruitingPhase 4
Befotertinib after surgery for early-stage lung cancer
