Study of two targeted drugs for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (DZD9008 and AZD4205) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation and has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.

West Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05956587RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two study drugs for advanced lung cancer and other tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of two experimental medicines in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see whether the drugs can shrink tumors and improve outcomes, while carefully checking safety and eligibility.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06265285RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab at home vs. clinic for cancer treatment
This study compares giving the immunotherapy drug nivolumab as a shot under the skin at home versus in the clinic. It is for people with certain cancers who are already taking or starting nivolumab.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06253871RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IAM1363 for HER2 Cancers
This trial tests a new oral drug called IAM1363 for people with HER2-altered cancers that have stopped responding to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works against these cancers.

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.
