Testing firmanertinib vs chemo for first-line lung cancer with specific EGFR mutations
This trial compares a new targeted therapy pill (firmanertinib) to standard chemotherapy in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have a specific EGFR mutation (PACC or L861Q). If you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer matches these mutations, this study may offer a more convenient oral option.

Testing HMBD-501 for HER3-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, HMBD-501, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific protein called HER3. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and if it can help shrink or control the cancer.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06957314Recruiting
Hospital-at-home for people receiving Tarlatamab
This study tests giving hospital-type care at home for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who are receiving the drug Tarlatamab. It aims to see if patients can safely receive their treatment at home instead of in the hospital.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06962865RecruitingPhase 2
RC108 and Furmonertinib for first-line treatment of EGFR-mutated and MET-positive NSCLC
This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, RC108 and Furmonertinib, can help people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific genetic changes (EGFR mutation and MET positivity) and cannot be removed by surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,521 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.
