A new immune cell therapy for melanoma, lung, and cervical cancer
This trial tests a new way to boost your immune cells after they are collected from your tumor and grown in a lab. Instead of high-dose IL-2, you would get a modified version called ANV419, which may have fewer side effects.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06632262RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drugs for cancers with FGFR gene changes
This trial tests two new drugs, ABSK061 and ABSK043, in people whose cancers have specific changes in the FGFR2 or FGFR3 genes. It may be an option if your cancer has stopped responding to standard treatments or if no standard treatment is available.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06634056RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing lung inflammation during chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether two medicines, pentoxifylline and vitamin E, can help prevent a type of lung inflammation called pneumonitis in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who are getting chemoradiation and a checkpoint inhibitor. These medicines are already used for other conditions and may lower the risk of this side effect.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06634199Recruiting
Immune response after chemoradiation and immunotherapy for stage III lung cancer
This study looks at how the body’s immune system responds in people with stage III lung cancer (not removable by surgery) who first get chemotherapy and radiation and then receive the immunotherapy drug durvalumab for one year. It aims to learn more about the immune response and why the treatment works better for some people.
Ferrol, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT06634979Recruiting
Selective lymph node removal for small lung cancers
This trial compares removing fewer lymph nodes during surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It is for people with a small tumor (2 cm or less) that has both solid and ground-glass parts.

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.
