This trial tests a single dose of a special dye (LS301-IT) that helps surgeons see lung cancer cells more clearly during surgery. It aims to make lung cancer removal more precise and complete.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07100080RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug vs chemotherapy for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called izalontamab brengitecan (BMS-986507) against standard chemotherapy (platinum plus pemetrexed) for people with a specific type of lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation and has stopped responding to newer targeted pills.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06586957RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing an experimental oral drug called NKT3964 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking a protein called CDK2, which some cancers need to grow.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06244771RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing FMC-376 for KRAS G12C mutated solid tumors
This study tests a new targeted pill called FMC-376 for people whose cancer has a specific KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth when other treatments have stopped working.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06681220RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide and stenoparib for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This trial tests two drugs—temozolomide and stenoparib—for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned after initial chemo. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06616584RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cemiplimab plus standard care for advanced lung cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab to standard treatment can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already progressed after both platinum chemo and a prior immunotherapy. It is designed for those who responded to their first immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks before the cancer started growing again.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04267848RecruitingPhase 3
Testing immunotherapy with chemo after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy medicine to standard chemotherapy after surgery can improve outcomes for some people with non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06686771RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation for limited growth in advanced lung cancer on immunotherapy
This trial tests whether giving high-precision radiation to a few spots that are growing during immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) can help people with advanced lung cancer. It aims to see if treating these limited areas of resistance can extend the time the cancer stays under control.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06868277RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs for first-line treatment of advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Rilvegostomig against the standard drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has high levels of PD-L1 protein. The goal is to see which drug works better as a first treatment before any other cancer therapy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05948865RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests CPO301 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have worsened or cannot be treated with standard options. It aims to find the safest dose and understand how the treatment affects tumors, especially in certain lung cancer groups.

I-DXd plus atezolizumab for first-line extensive SCLC
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (I-DXd and atezolizumab, with or without carboplatin) as your first treatment for extensive stage small cell lung cancer. It has two groups: one for people who haven't started treatment yet, and another for those who've already had 4 cycles of a standard chemo-immunotherapy combination and are stable or better.

What taking part in a small cell lung cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
