Recruiting studies
- NCT06467786RecruitingPhase 4
Irinotecan liposomes for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial is testing a new form of chemotherapy called irinotecan liposomes for people with advanced small cell lung cancer that has worsened after initial treatment. It aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors and improve survival.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06480864Recruiting
Study of adebelimumab and apatinib for extensive stage small cell lung cancer maintenance
This trial tests whether adding two targeted therapies (adebelimumab, an immunotherapy, and apatinib, a drug that blocks blood vessel growth) after initial chemotherapy can help keep extensive stage small cell lung cancer under control. It is for people who have not yet had systemic treatment for their cancer and are in good enough health to try this maintenance approach.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07026669Recruiting
Studying treatment response in small cell lung cancer with genetic testing
This trial collects blood and tumor samples from people newly diagnosed with small cell lung cancer to study how genetic markers can predict treatment success and monitor disease over time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07149363RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy after surgery for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy (durvalumab) to standard chemotherapy after surgery can help prevent small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people who have had their cancer completely removed and are well enough to start treatment soon after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07296809RecruitingPhase 2
SKB500 therapy for small cell lung cancer

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01385722Enrolling by invitation
Molecular testing for cancers in the chest
This study looks at the genetic changes (molecular analysis) in certain cancers of the chest. It may help doctors learn more about what drives these cancers and how they might be diagnosed or treated in the future.

Dabrafenib and trametinib for BRAF V600 cancers
This trial tests two targeted drugs (dabrafenib and trametinib) for patients whose cancer has a specific change in the BRAF gene called V600. These drugs work together to block signals that help the cancer grow. The trial is for children, teenagers, and adults with many types of cancer, except for a few common ones that already have approved treatments.
BelfastAges 1 year+ - NCT05214222RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for advanced esophageal cancer after past therapy
This Phase 2 trial tests penpulimab plus chemotherapy (with or without an added targeted pill called anlotinib) in people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to slow tumor growth and improve outcomes, especially for patients who can’t have curative surgery or radiation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04539977RecruitingPhase 2
PD-L1 antibody plus chemotherapy for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a PD-L1 antibody to chemotherapy helps people with newly diagnosed limited-stage small-cell lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. It may benefit patients who have not had any prior cancer treatment for SCLC and can meet health and lab requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04892953RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus focused radiation for progressing stage III lung cancer
This trial studies adding focused radiation to some cancer spots in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer did not fully stop after standard chemoradiation and durvalumab. The goal is to control a small number of growing spots (or more than a few) and improve outcomes after durvalumab.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05467748RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug combo for advanced lung cancer after PD-1 treatment
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of an EZH2 inhibitor (tulmimetostat) with a PD-1 blocker (pembrolizumab) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to prior PD-1 treatment. It may help shrink or control cancer and is mainly aimed at people who have limited treatment options left.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05913089RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new lung cancer drug with chemotherapy or an anti-angiogenesis pill
This Phase 2 trial tests TQB2450 (a new cancer medicine) added to chemotherapy, or along with an oral medicine called anlotinib, for stage II–IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people who are getting curative surgery and have not had prior cancer drug treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05979818RecruitingPhase 1
Propranolol plus immunotherapy and chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests adding a beta-blocker (propranolol) to a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and standard chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated before. The goal is to see if this new triple treatment helps shrink tumors better than chemo-immunotherapy alone.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 798 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.
