Study of BL-M07D1 and Pembrolizumab for HER2+ Lung Cancer
This study tests a new drug combination, BL-M07D1 plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy), for people with a certain type of advanced lung cancer that has high levels of HER2 protein. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective for people who have not been treated with HER2-targeting drugs before.

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.
