Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03899155RecruitingPhase 2
Study for continuing or restarting cancer treatment that worked before
This trial lets people who were already in a related “parent” study either keep taking treatment or restart it after it had stopped working for a while. It’s meant for people who previously had a meaningful response and may still benefit from continued treatment.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04165070RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stage IV lung cancer trial using pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy
This Phase 1/2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immune-based cancer treatment) either alone or with chemotherapy in people newly diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It looks at how well the treatments work and whether they are safe, especially in people who haven’t had treatment yet for metastatic disease.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04297605RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) given together with a chemotherapy drug to treat non-small cell lung cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. It’s aimed at people who can handle treatment with an ECOG performance status of 2, including some with certain types of brain metastases.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04322578RecruitingPhase 2
Crizotinib versus standard chemotherapy for MET exon 14 lung cancer
This study compares crizotinib to standard chemotherapy for people with advanced (spread) non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific change called MET exon 14 skipping. The goal is to see which treatment works better and how safely it controls the cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04332367RecruitingPhase 2
New chemo plus ramucirumab for lung cancer after maintenance
This Phase 2 trial studies a combination of chemotherapy (carboplatin and a “taxane”) plus ramucirumab for people with advanced lung cancer that came back or progressed after prior maintenance treatment. It may help by attacking cancer growth after earlier therapy no longer worked.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04335292RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib then chemotherapy for EGFR-mutated lung cancer

This Phase 1 study tests the safety (and early effectiveness) of T-DXd combined with immunotherapy, sometimes also with chemotherapy, in people with advanced lung cancer that is HER2-positive. It may help if standard options have been limited or your tumor does not have certain genetic changes that already have targeted treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04892953RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus focused radiation for progressing stage III lung cancer
This trial studies adding focused radiation to some cancer spots in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer did not fully stop after standard chemoradiation and durvalumab. The goal is to control a small number of growing spots (or more than a few) and improve outcomes after durvalumab.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04966663RecruitingPhase 2
Using blood DNA tests to guide lung cancer treatment
This study uses a blood test called ctDNA to look for leftover lung cancer after surgery. Based on that result, the trial will help decide which treatment approach is best for you and may catch cancer returning earlier.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04991025RecruitingPhase 2
Certolizumab added to chemo and nivolumab for operable lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding certolizumab (an immune-targeting medicine) to standard chemo plus nivolumab can improve outcomes in people with certain operable non-small cell lung cancers. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment before surgery.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05011487RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery osimertinib plus chemotherapy for EGFR lung cancer
This study tests whether giving osimertinib together with chemotherapy before surgery can shrink and control EGFR-mutant, stage III lung cancer so it can be fully removed. If it works, it may improve the chances that the cancer does not come back after surgery.
