Stanford, CaliforniaAges 6–21 - NCT06681233Recruiting
Cone-beam CT for guiding radiation therapy in cancer patients
This study tests whether a special X-ray called cone-beam CT (CBCT) can help guide radiation therapy more precisely for different types of cancer. If you are already scheduled for radiation and use CBCT as part of your care, you may be able to join.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06082206Recruiting
Nerve blocks to prevent long-term pain after breast cancer surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (pectoral nerve block vs. paravertebral block) to see which one better prevents long-term pain after breast cancer surgery.
AsyutAges 20–65 - NCT07358676RecruitingPhase 2
Study of bemotuzumab plus chemo and anlotinib for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of the targeted drug bemotuzumab, chemotherapy, and anlotinib (which blocks blood vessel growth) followed by radiation therapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06732193Recruiting
Fissios App for recovery after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether using a smartphone app (Fissios) after lung cancer surgery helps you recover with fewer complications. If you are scheduled for lung surgery for non-small cell lung cancer and have a smartphone, you may be eligible.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06734338Recruiting
Testing a new chest injury score for blunt trauma
This study is testing a new way to check how serious chest injuries from blunt force (like car crashes) are in the emergency room. It may help doctors quickly decide what care you need.
BaghdadAges 18 years+ - NCT06758700RecruitingPhase 2
Teniposide for advanced small cell lung cancer with c-Myc
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug called teniposide for people with a specific type of advanced small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after prior treatment. The goal is to see if teniposide helps shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06769126RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment study for extensive stage small cell lung cancer
This study uses biomarker tests on your tumor to find a personalized treatment after initial chemotherapy. You will be assigned to one of four treatment groups based on your biomarker results.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06771518RecruitingPhase 2
Study combining chest radiation and immunotherapy for lung cancer

Testing a delivery device for spinal cord injury treatment
This trial tests a device that delivers a special cell therapy (LCTOPC1) into the spinal cord. It is for people with a recent or chronic spinal cord injury that is severe (no feeling or movement below the injury) or leaves some sensation but no movement.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06856538Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after chest surgery
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks (RISS and SAP blocks) to see which one works better for pain control during and after a thoracotomy (chest surgery). If you are having a chest surgery that involves only one side of your chest, this trial could help find a more comfortable recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thoracic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 315 recruiting thoracic 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 thoracic 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 thoracic 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.
