Testing lurbinectedin for small cell lung cancer that has returned
This trial compares a new drug combination (lurbinectedin with or without irinotecan) against the standard treatment (topotecan) for people whose small cell lung cancer has come back after initial chemotherapy. It aims to see if the new options work better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,030 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.
