Repotrectinib for ROS1-positive lung cancer with brain spread
This clinical trial tests a new targeted therapy pill (repotrectinib) for people with ROS1-positive lung cancer that has spread to the brain. The pill is designed to enter the brain and attack cancer cells that other targeted treatments may not reach well.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT05281471RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with bevacizumab
This Phase 3 trial tests a treatment made of an investigational gene-based drug plus standard “platinum” chemotherapy and bevacizumab, compared with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab. It’s for ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancers that have not responded to platinum chemotherapy or came back quickly.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06364917RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two immunotherapy options for PD-L1 negative lung cancer
This trial tests whether using two immunotherapy drugs together works better than a single drug for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that does not have the PD-L1 protein. The study aims to find a more effective treatment for this specific type of lung cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–89 - NCT06394674RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose furmonertinib for lung cancer after osimertinib stops working
This trial tests a higher dose of a targeted therapy called furmonertinib for people with advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to a previous drug called osimertinib. It may help if you have a certain EGFR mutation and your cancer has grown outside the brain.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06437977RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery treatment with radiation, immunotherapy, and chemo for stage II-III NSCLC
This trial tests whether combining radiation, an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab), and chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people with resectable stage II to III non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this approach works better than standard chemotherapy alone.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06441773Recruiting
Lung rehab for advanced lung cancer on maintenance therapy
This study tests if a respiratory (breathing) rehabilitation program can improve quality of life for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are on maintenance treatment after initial chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06445881RecruitingPhase 2
Herbal medicine for lung cancer before and after surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 791 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.
