IDE034 for advanced solid tumors with B7-H3 or PTK7
This study tests a new drug called IDE034 for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain markers (B7-H3 and PTK7). The drug may help by targeting these markers on cancer cells, and the study checks if it is safe and effective.

New Immunotherapy Combination for Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (called iparomlimab and tuvonralimab), with or without chemotherapy, for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has returned or spread after previous treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help people with this cancer live longer with fewer side effects.

Vortioxetine for thinking problems from ALK lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a medication called vortioxetine can help improve memory, focus, and thinking problems caused by lorlatinib, a drug used to treat ALK-positive lung cancer. You would take vortioxetine alongside your current cancer treatment to see if it helps your brain function.
BogotáAges 18 years+ - NCT07124000Recruiting
T-DXd for advanced HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial is for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It tests the drug T-DXd (also called Enhertu) when your doctor has already decided it's the right treatment for you and you have no other good options.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–130 - NCT05107674RecruitingPhase 1
Early drug study for advanced cancers that have limited options
This Phase 1 study tests NX-1607 in adults with advanced cancers that are hard to treat with standard care. It focuses on safety and early signs of how well the drug may work in specific cancer types.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05229614RecruitingPhase 2

Immunotherapy plus chemoradiation for limited spread SCLC
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) plus standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has only spread to a few places. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer better.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06358222Recruiting
Lung cancer trial testing blood test and PET scan for spread
This trial studies if a blood test that looks for tumor DNA combined with a PET-CT scan can better predict if lung cancer has spread to lymph nodes. It may help guide treatment decisions for people with non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06687941RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of AST-201 for GPC3-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AST-201 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific protein (GPC3). The study aims to see how safe and well-tolerated the drug is, and how the body processes it.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06406465RecruitingPhase 2
Belinostat trial for neuroendocrine cancer based on genetics
This trial tests a drug called belinostat, possibly combined with other drugs, based on your genetic makeup. It aims to find the right dose for people with a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine cancer that started outside the lungs.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06922539RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental drug ST-001 nanoFenretinide for small cell lung cancer
This phase 1 trial tests an experimental drug called ST-001 nanoFenretinide for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned or not responded to standard chemotherapy. The drug is a newer form of fenretinide, which is related to vitamin A, and may work differently to attack cancer cells.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06429696RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy for extensive stage small cell lung cancer
This study tests if a combination of an immunotherapy drug (PD-L1 inhibitor) and a targeted therapy pill (apatinib) can help keep extensive stage small cell lung cancer from growing after initial treatment. It is for people whose cancer was controlled with first-line chemo-immunotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06567314RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Ivonescimab for advanced skin or prostate cancer
This study tests a new immunotherapy medicine, ivonescimab, in people with advanced skin cancer or advanced prostate cancer. It looks at how safe and effective the drug is.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 800 recruiting small cell carcinoma 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 small cell carcinoma 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 small cell carcinoma 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.
