Study of ZG006 for advanced lung and neuroendocrine cancers
This trial is testing a new drug called ZG006 for people with advanced small cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine carcinoma. The study has two parts: first finding the right dose, then testing it in more people with neuroendocrine carcinoma.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06440954RecruitingPhase 2
Pemetrexed injected into spinal fluid for lung cancer that spread to brain lining
This study tests a treatment called intrathecal pemetrexed, which is chemotherapy given directly into the fluid around your brain and spine. It's for people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord after targeted therapy stopped working.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06444815RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VET3-TGI for advanced solid tumors

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,519 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.
