First-line Keytruda + chemo then Keytruda + Trodelvy for SCLC
This trial tests a two-step treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer: first, chemotherapy combined with Keytruda (an immunotherapy), followed by Keytruda plus Trodelvy (another targeted drug). The goal is to see if this combination helps people live longer and keeps the cancer under control.
Jerusalem, IsraelAges 18–99 - NCT07472517RecruitingPhase 3
Obrixtamig plus standard therapy for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug, obrixtamig, to the usual first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer can help people live longer or slow the cancer's growth. The usual treatment is a combination of atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07476287RecruitingPhase 2
Study of PF08634404 plus chemo for transformed small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new study drug (PF08634404) combined with standard chemotherapy for people whose non-small cell lung cancer has changed into a more aggressive form called small cell lung cancer. It hopes to improve outcomes by targeting the cancer in two ways.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07473128RecruitingPhase 3
Trilaciclib to prevent low blood cell counts in limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking trilaciclib alongside standard chemotherapy can help prevent low blood cell counts (myelosuppression) in people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It may help you stay stronger during treatment.

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.
