Recruiting studies
- NCT06568939RecruitingPhase 2
Study of telisotuzumab vedotin for non-squamous lung cancer
This trial tests a drug called telisotuzumab vedotin (ABBV-399) given through a vein to people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer) that has a high level of a protein called c-Met. The study aims to see how the drug affects the body and helps control the cancer.

Testing an experimental drug with chemo for newly diagnosed extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests an investigational drug called BNT327, given with standard chemotherapy, for people newly diagnosed with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding this drug improves outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07373899Enrolling by invitation
Surgery after immunotherapy to shrink lung cancer
This study looks at whether doing surgery after immunotherapy (with or without chemo) can be less invasive than originally planned. If your lung cancer shrunk enough after treatment that you might need a smaller surgery than first thought, this trial could help find the best approach.
Beijing, ChaoyangAges Any age - NCT07500376Recruiting
Nutrition and Muscle Health in Lung Cancer Surgery
This study looks at how nutrition and muscle health before lung cancer surgery can affect recovery. It tests whether checking these factors can help predict and improve outcomes after surgery.

Immunotherapy plus chemoradiation for inoperable stage III lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy before and after standard chemoradiation for patients with stage III lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to chemoradiation alone.

PD-L1 antibody drug study for advanced lung and head/neck cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a new experimental drug (PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V) in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment or can’t use it. It is designed to see how the drug works and how safe it is, with a focus on tumors that have PD-L1 seen on prior lab testing.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07090499RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PF-08046876 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new medicine, PF-08046876, for people with advanced cancers of the bladder, lung, head and neck, esophagus, or pancreas. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works against these cancers.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT06875310RecruitingPhase 3
Study of adagrasib plus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial tests if adding the targeted drug adagrasib to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy helps people with a specific KRAS G12C mutation in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. It is for people who have not had previous treatment for advanced disease.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,523 recruiting small cell 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 small cell 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 small cell 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.
