Study of olomorasib for KRAS G12C-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy (olomorasib) combined with standard treatments for people with a specific type of non-small cell lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation. Depending on the stage of your cancer, you may receive it before or after surgery, or along with chemotherapy and radiation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for unresectable?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 464 recruiting unresectable 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 unresectable 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 unresectable 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.
