Study of YL202 vs. docetaxel for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, YL202, against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a specific type of advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. The goal is to see if YL202 works better for those whose cancer has progressed after prior treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07424547RecruitingPhase 1
Study of SYS6043 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors
This trial tests a new study drug (SYS6043) for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to or are not candidates for standard therapies. The drug targets a protein called B7-H3 on cancer cells to help stop tumor growth.
Plantation, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07428044RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab Deruxtecan for HER2-mutant lung cancer before surgery
This trial tests a targeted drug, trastuzumab deruxtecan, for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific HER2 gene change. The treatment is given before surgery to shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell lung cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,514 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.
