Exercise and immune response in lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can boost the immune system in people with lung cancer. If you are generally active and able to ride a stationary bike, this trial could help understand how exercise affects your body's defenses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with non-small cell or small-cell lung cancer (any type)
- You should be able to walk and do light work (ECOG score 0 or 1)
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be at least 18.5 – no significant weight loss
- You must not have unstable bone metastases that could break easily
- You must be able to comfortably ride a stationary bike
- You must not have a living will that refuses life support in an emergency

This trial tests whether adding a supervised physical exercise program to your usual chemotherapy and immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery can change the immune environment inside the tumor. The goal is to see if exercise can make the treatment more effective.
This trial tests whether adding a structured exercise program during radiation and chemotherapy helps people with locally advanced lung cancer. It aims to improve physical function and quality of life.
This trial looks at whether adding an immunotherapy drug (an immune checkpoint inhibitor) to chemotherapy helps people with lung cancer live better or respond better. You might be considered if your cancer is confirmed, you can tolerate treatment, and imaging shows measurable spots.
This study looks for biological markers (special signs in your body) that could help doctors choose better immune-based treatments for non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers will study your tumor and blood to understand which patients might benefit most from immunotherapy.
This trial tests whether doing exercise training before lung cancer surgery can help you recover better. It is for people with low fitness levels who live with another adult at home.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can help improve immune activity and treatment outcomes for people with non-small cell lung cancer who are already on immunotherapy. It is designed for people who are not currently very active.
