Lung Cancer: patient access summary

Access in Australia

Clinical trial activity

The trial catalogue is checked nightly, but individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.

Trials recruiting at Australian sites

Why this list is shorter than "Trials on record". Of the 5,276 trials on record for Lung Cancer, 1,394 are listed on Voxsanity. The list carries trials we can show a plain English summary for: every trial open or about to open to new participants, plus concluded trials that have published their results. The great majority of the difference is research that finished without publishing a results summary, so there is nothing to read and nothing to join. A smaller part is trials that are open now but whose plain English summary has not been written yet. Nothing is being withheld: the larger figure counts research history, this list counts what is useful to read today.

56 of them are recruiting and list at least one Australian site. A listed site is not proof it is enrolling today; confirm with the trial's own contacts before relying on it.

Full eligibility for each trial is at voxsanity.com.au/trials/<registry ID>/, and on the registry itself: clinicaltrials.gov, or isrctn.com for an ISRCTN ID.

PBS-subsidised medicines

Updated nightly, except PBS listing data, which is updated monthly because the PBS publishes a new Schedule once a month.

These medicines are listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for the specific indications shown. A listing does not mean a medicine is right for you; your doctor decides what is appropriate. The Government price column is the PBS-determined price the Government pays the pharmacy for the item — it is not what you pay at the counter. Most patients pay only the standard co-payment, up to AU$25.00 per script (general) or AU$7.70 (concession or Safety Net) in 2026, with the Australian Government subsidising the rest. Confirm the current amount with your pharmacist.

What this summary does not cover

• Australian registration dates. Voxsanity holds no TGA registration record for any medicine, so no Australian registration date appears here or anywhere on this site. The TGA's own Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (tga.gov.au/resources/artg) is the authoritative place to check. Where a medicine is on the PBS it must already be registered for supply in Australia, because a PBS listing cannot happen before that: that is read from the PBS, not from the TGA.
• Access outside the PBS and outside a trial. Where a medicine is not registered or not available through a trial, the TGA Special Access Scheme may allow a doctor to apply for access for an individual patient. A plain English explainer is at voxsanity.com.au/sas-navigator/.
• Whether any of it is appropriate. Nothing on this sheet is a recommendation. A medicine being subsidised, or a trial recruiting nearby, says nothing about whether either suits a particular person. That is a clinical judgement this sheet cannot make.
