Recruiting studies
- NCT04992780RecruitingPhase 2
Hypo-fractionated radiation versus standard radiation for lung cancer

Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07864207RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of IDP-121 for small cell lung cancer that stopped responding to platinum
This trial tests a new drug, IDP-121, alone or with another chemo drug, for people with small cell lung cancer that came back after initial treatment. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors and help people live longer.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07855965RecruitingPhase 2
Ablation with immunotherapy and chemo before lung cancer surgery
This study tests a new approach for people with early-stage lung cancer that can be removed with surgery. Before surgery, patients receive a treatment called cryo-thermal ablation to freeze and heat the tumor, along with an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes after surgery.

Two study drugs for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests two new immunotherapy drugs (obrixtamig and pumitamig) given together for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and helps shrink or control the cancer.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06445881RecruitingPhase 2
Herbal medicine for lung cancer before and after surgery
This trial is testing whether adding a traditional Chinese herbal formula (Modified Si Jun Zi Tang) to standard treatment before and after surgery can help people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the herbs improve outcomes and reduce side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for limited stage small cell lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 460 recruiting limited stage small cell lung 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 limited stage small cell lung 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 limited stage small cell lung 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.
