This trial studies whether adding palliative (comfort-focused) radiation to the medicine lurbinectedin can better control extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It may help reduce problems from tumors in places like bones and organs.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05257551Recruiting
Small cell lung cancer data study using tumor and blood samples
This observational study collects information and lab samples from people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It may help researchers understand how patients respond and improve future care, but it usually does not add new treatment for you.
Los Alamitos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05450965RecruitingPhase 2
Onvansertib for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This trial studies onvansertib, a targeted medicine, in people whose small cell lung cancer has come back or did not respond to prior platinum chemotherapy. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes after standard treatment has already been tried.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05588388RecruitingPhase 2
Testing bevacizumab with chemo and immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding bevacizumab to chemo plus immunotherapy (including atezolizumab) can improve outcomes in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) that has spread to the liver. It may help by blocking tumor blood vessel growth while boosting anti-cancer immune and treatment effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05623267RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
SugeMalimab after lung radiation and chemotherapy for limited-stage SCLC
This trial tests sugemalimab as “extra treatment” after standard chemoradiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to lower the chance of the cancer coming back by helping the immune system stay active after initial therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05623319RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus olaparib for extensive small cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining pembrolizumab and olaparib can improve outcomes in people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It mainly aims to shrink tumors and help control the cancer for longer.
Meldola, Forlì CesenaAges 18 years+ - NCT05703971RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Maintenance treatment with a gene therapy plus atezolizumab
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether a gene therapy called Reqorsa given with atezolizumab can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) stay controlled after their first chemo. It may help by boosting the immune system to keep the cancer from growing again.
Lone Tree, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05745350RecruitingPhase 2
First treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial studies how well pembrolizumab, plinabulin, and etoposide plus platinum work as first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It may help some people by boosting the immune response while also attacking cancer with standard chemotherapy.
