Find a Clinical Trial

Clinical trials may offer additional treatment options for people with lung cancer. Exploring trials early — before treatment begins — can help ensure you and your care team are aware of all available choices.

Before You Start Your Search

Eligibility for clinical trials depends on factors such as cancer type, stage, prior treatment, and overall health.

Before you begin, it helps to have a few details available. This can make your search results more accurate and easier to discuss with your care team.

Helpful information to gather:

  • Your lung cancer type (for example: NSCLC or SCLC) and stage
  • Any treatments you’ve already received (if any)
  • Whether you’ve had biomarker or genetic testing
  • Recent scan results (CT, PET, MRI) and pathology details
  • Your general health and any major medical conditions

Tip: If you’re newly diagnosed, ask your doctor:

“Are there clinical trials I should consider before starting treatment?”
