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.

Testing primer shot radiotherapy for lung cancer
This study is testing a new way of giving a very short, high-dose radiation treatment (called 'primer shot' radiotherapy) for people with non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if it’s safe and practical for shrinking the main lung tumor and relieving symptoms.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06755684RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery targeted drug combo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (befotertinib) given before surgery, either with another targeted drug (bevacizumab) or with standard chemotherapy. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for people with a specific type of lung cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07513376RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant vaccine plus immunotherapy for high-risk early lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving a personalized cancer vaccine (Intismeran) with or without an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) after lung cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with early-stage, high-risk non-small cell lung cancer.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06090266RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of OR502 alone and with other cancer treatments
This trial tests an experimental drug called OR502, which targets a protein on immune cells, to see if it can help fight advanced solid tumors. It is given alone or with other anti-cancer drugs, and the study aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07509333Recruiting

This study helps doctors create a personalized treatment plan for older adults with lung cancer based on a comprehensive review of their health. It aims to choose the best treatment to improve quality of life and outcomes.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 60–90 - NCT07510321Recruiting
A study of FL-261 imaging for cancer diagnosis
This trial tests a new imaging agent called FL-261 to help doctors see and stage cancers more clearly. If you have a known or suspected cancer like lung, colon, or head and neck cancer, this study may improve how your cancer is evaluated.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07511933Recruiting
New PET scan to detect tumor regrowth vs. scar tissue in brain
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a special imaging test) that uses a radioactive tracer to help doctors tell the difference between scar tissue from past radiation and cancer that has come back in the brain. This could help avoid unnecessary surgery or additional treatment.
AmsterdamAges Any age - NCT07510724Recruiting
Real-world study of Tislelizumab for lung cancer
This trial collects information on how well the immunotherapy drug Tislelizumab works for different types of lung cancer. It is meant for people whose doctor already decided to prescribe this drug as part of their care.
Sankt Pölten, Lower AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07508852RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET scan for small cell lung cancer diagnosis
This study uses a special PET scan (68Ga-PFD3) to take pictures of small cell lung cancer tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better diagnose and evaluate the cancer, which may guide treatment decisions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07502300RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (BL-B01D1 plus immunotherapy) as a first treatment for people with advanced small cell lung cancer. It may be an option if you haven't had treatment yet and are healthy enough for chemotherapy.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07503808RecruitingPhase 1
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.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07498933Recruiting
FAP-targeted imaging for lung cancer
This trial uses a special imaging test (PET/NIR) to find lung cancer cells. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly before and after treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07505173RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation plus osimertinib for brain metastases from EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests adding a brain-sparing radiation technique to the targeted therapy drug osimertinib for people with EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma that has spread to the brain and is causing symptoms. The goal is to see if this combination can better control the brain tumors while protecting the hippocampus, a key memory area.
TianjinAges 18–75 - 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.
Samsun, SamsunAges 18 years+ - NCT00682032Recruiting
Beta-glucan for non-small cell lung cancer

Study on giving immunotherapy less often for advanced cancer
This trial tests whether giving certain immunotherapy drugs less often than usual is safe and still works well for people with advanced stomach, liver, or lung cancer. It might mean fewer hospital visits while still controlling the cancer.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06769971RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab and cadonilimab plus chemo for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two experimental immunotherapy drugs (ivonescimab and cadonilimab) with standard chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have not had prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemo alone.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,490 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.
