This trial tests whether adding the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors are growing while on a single immunotherapy drug. You must have been on immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks and have a growing tumor, but your doctor does not plan to change your treatment right away.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06730685Enrolling by invitation
Sarcopenia and cachexia in lung cancer patients
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) and weight loss (cachexia) in people with lung cancer. Researchers want to understand these conditions better to improve care.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT05442060RecruitingPhase 2
Test medicine add-on to erlotinib for EGFR lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding OBI-833/OBI-821 to the standard targeted pill erlotinib works better for some people with EGFR-mutated lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors that already started responding to erlotinib.
Taipei, Beitou DistrictAges 20 years+ - NCT06717295Recruiting
Blood test to find cancer early and track treatment
This study uses a blood test that looks at your platelets and immune cells to find common cancers early, and for certain cancers, to monitor how well treatment is working.
RosarioAges 40–75 - NCT06726720Recruiting
Real-world study of approved lung cancer drugs
This study looks at how well approved AstraZeneca drugs work for non-small cell lung cancer in everyday medical practice. It does not test new treatments, but gathers information to help doctors and patients make better decisions.

Study of ECI830 for advanced breast cancer and solid tumors
This trial is testing a new drug called ECI830, either alone or with another drug, for people with advanced breast cancer or other solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It may be an option if you have HR+/HER2- breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, or a tumor with a specific gene change (CCNE1 amplification).

Prescott, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06699979Recruiting
Early lung cancer study with multiple tumors or cysts
This study looks at the genes and molecules of early-stage lung cancer in two groups: people with more than one lung tumor at the same time, and people whose lung cancer is tied to air-filled spaces (cysts) seen on a CT scan. The goal is to better understand these types of lung cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,491 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.
