Study of bemotuzumab plus chemo and anlotinib for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of the targeted drug bemotuzumab, chemotherapy, and anlotinib (which blocks blood vessel growth) followed by radiation therapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06758700RecruitingPhase 2
Teniposide for advanced small cell lung cancer with c-Myc
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug called teniposide for people with a specific type of advanced small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after prior treatment. The goal is to see if teniposide helps shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06793813RecruitingPhase 2
Study of cadonilimab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called cadonilimab for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after treatment with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it helps control the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,036 recruiting 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 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 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.
