Recruiting studies
- NCT05924841RecruitingPhase 2
Study drugs for advanced small cell lung cancer after prior treatments
This Phase 2 trial tests how well two study drugs (and a combination of them) work in people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It’s mainly for patients whose cancer has come back or who couldn’t tolerate at least some standard treatments, and it aims to see if treatment can shrink tumors and be tolerable.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT05945745Recruiting
Molecular testing and treatment options for small cell lung cancer
This trial is for adults with small cell lung cancer where your diagnosis is confirmed by a tissue test. The study looks at molecular (tumor-level) features to help guide treatment choices that may fit you better.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05979818RecruitingPhase 1
Propranolol plus immunotherapy and chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests adding a beta-blocker (propranolol) to a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and standard chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated before. The goal is to see if this new triple treatment helps shrink tumors better than chemo-immunotherapy alone.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06041776RecruitingPhase 3
Befotertinib after surgery for early-stage lung cancer with EGFR mutation
This trial tests if a targeted therapy pill (befotertinib) can lower the chance of cancer coming back after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation. You may be eligible if your tumor was completely removed and you have stage IB to IIIB disease.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06095505RecruitingPhase 2
Alisertib for extensive stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called alisertib for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread. It is for those who have already tried standard treatments (chemotherapy and immunotherapy) and need another option.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06110572RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Total body irradiation with immunotherapy for extensive SCLC
This trial adds total body irradiation (a low dose of radiation to the whole body) to standard atezolizumab (immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the radiation helps the immunotherapy work better.

Study of a new drug for recurrent small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a drug called LY01610 for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned after initial chemotherapy. It may offer a new treatment option for those whose cancer progressed within 6 months of their last treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06160596Recruiting
Understanding long-term cancer survival in hard-to-treat tumors
This study looks at why some people with hard-to-treat cancers live much longer than expected. It collects tumor samples to search for clues that might help future patients.

LDRT, immunotherapy, chemo, and olaparib for SLFN-11 positive SCLC
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, an immunotherapy drug (sugemalimab), chemotherapy, and a targeted drug (olaparib) as a first treatment for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has a specific marker called SLFN-11. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and works better than standard treatment.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06223711RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab with radiation therapy for limited-spread small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of durvalumab (immunotherapy) plus radiation and chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has only a few distant spots. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer better.
Augsburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06247163Recruiting
PET-guided radiation for small cell lung cancer
This trial uses PET scans to guide radiotherapy for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer, aiming to improve treatment accuracy. It is designed for those whose cancer has not spread extensively.

Testing a new drug combo for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests adding a new drug, iadademstat, to standard immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab or durvalumab) for people with small cell lung cancer that responded to initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better at preventing cancer from returning.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06295926RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new immunotherapy with chemo-radiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial is testing whether adding the immunotherapy drug serplulimab to standard chemotherapy and radiation can help people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It is for those who have not had any previous treatment for their cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06424067RecruitingPhase 2
Fingolimod for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if the drug fingolimod can help people with advanced non-small cell or small cell lung cancer that has worsened after at least two previous treatments. Fingolimod is a pill taken daily that may help the immune system fight the cancer.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06427954Recruiting
Mobile app study for people with advanced lung cancer
This study tests a mobile app (called THRIVE) to help people with advanced lung cancer manage their health and well-being. You'll use the app on your phone to track symptoms and get support, which may help you feel better and stay more in control.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06467786RecruitingPhase 4
Irinotecan liposomes for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial is testing a new form of chemotherapy called irinotecan liposomes for people with advanced small cell lung cancer that has worsened after initial treatment. It aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors and improve survival.

Radiation for leftover spots after chemo-immunotherapy in lung cancer
This trial is for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. After standard chemo-immunotherapy, it tests whether giving radiation to all remaining tumor spots can improve outcomes.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06480864Recruiting
Study of adebelimumab and apatinib for extensive stage small cell lung cancer maintenance
This trial tests whether adding two targeted therapies (adebelimumab, an immunotherapy, and apatinib, a drug that blocks blood vessel growth) after initial chemotherapy can help keep extensive stage small cell lung cancer under control. It is for people who have not yet had systemic treatment for their cancer and are in good enough health to try this maintenance approach.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 182 recruiting extensive stage lung small cell cancer studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a extensive stage lung small cell cancer trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a extensive stage lung small cell cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
