Dear Wiseowl1

Below is a link from cancer research UK, which will take you directly to the current clinical trials for nsclc, it also provides information on who is eligible i.e the inclusion/exclusion criteria and where the trial is being conducted.

In clinical trials, which is voluntary at every stage, you are very well attended to as they monitor everything very closely, they are of great value and vital in the progression of new treatments, as you may well know that everything in medicine is evidence based and has to be shown from the data collected in clinical trials.

The next link below is from Clinical Trials Gateway UK:

Your local Hospital may have its own clinical trial unit, it may be worth asking your lung cancer specialist nurse.

If you wish to discuss anything you can call us on our free nurse led helpline number on 0800 358 7200

All the very best
