Small Cell Lung Carcinoma clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 158 recruiting small cell lung carcinoma studies with a site in California — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05899608RecruitingPhase 3
Testing ivonescimab as first treatment for metastatic lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests ivonescimab as a first-line treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It may help people by improving how well the cancer responds, especially in tumors with PD-L1 activity, but you must meet specific medical and testing requirements.
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06767514RecruitingPhase 3
Ivonescimab for first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new drug called Ivonescimab as the first treatment for people with advanced (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have high levels of PD-L1 (a protein that helps cancer hide from the immune system). The goal is to see if it can help shrink or control the cancer.
Alameda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06179069RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ZL-1310 for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called ZL-1310, alone or with other treatments, for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread (extensive-stage). It aims to see if ZL-1310 can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05394831RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an EGFR-targeted drug for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (JIN-A02) in people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer has specific EGFR mutations. It mainly checks whether the treatment is safe and tolerable, and how the body handles the drug, with possible benefit depending on your mutation type.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07217301RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing TAK-928 to docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This study tests a new drug called TAK-928 against the standard chemo docetaxel for people with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. You may be able to join if you have already tried a checkpoint inhibitor and platinum chemotherapy, and your cancer has grown.
Fair Oaks, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06706076RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Experimental pill for lung cancer with EGFR or HER2 changes
This study tests an experimental pill that targets cancer cells with certain gene changes (EGFR or HER2). It may help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07397338RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RAS inhibitors with ivonescimab for solid tumors
This trial tests new drugs called RAS(ON) inhibitors combined with ivonescimab for people with solid tumors that have a RAS mutation. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04606446RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for ER-positive, HER2-negative cancers after treatment
This Phase 2 study tests a new Pfizer medicine (PF-07248144) for certain advanced or metastatic breast, prostate, or lung cancers that have not responded to standard treatment or no standard options exist. You may qualify if you have a specific tumor type and a limited number of prior cancer treatments, and if your body functions (blood, liver, kidneys) and heart rhythm meet safety limits.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05236114Recruiting
Study of blood and tumor tests for lung cancer treatment
This study looks at how tumor and blood biomarker results can guide treatment for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Depending on the cancer stage, it may follow standard-of-care treatment plans around surgery or first-line immunotherapy.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05271292RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Chiauranib for advanced cancers that returned or won’t respond
This Phase 1/2 study tests chiauranib in people with advanced solid cancers (including small cell lung cancer) that have come back or no longer respond to standard treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can help shrink tumors.
Encinitas, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06216301RecruitingPhase 3
Electric fields with immunotherapy and chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests adding a device that delivers electric fields (Tumor Treating Fields) to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has not been treated before. It may help slow tumor growth.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06789172RecruitingPhase 1
New drug OKN4395 with or without pembrolizumab for solid tumors
This trial tests a new oral drug called OKN4395, which targets a COX2-related immune pathway, alone or with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab, in people with advanced solid tumors. It may be an option if you have certain types of cancer that have stopped responding to other treatments.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06699212RecruitingPhase 3
Light-activated therapy with immunotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new light-activated treatment (ASP-1929) combined with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) as a first treatment for head and neck cancer that has come back in the same area but has not spread to other parts of the body. It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06293898RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-M07D1 for HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, BL-M07D1, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a protein called HER2. It is for patients who have already tried at least two other standard treatments.

What taking part in a small cell lung carcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there small cell lung carcinoma clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 158 recruiting small cell lung carcinoma studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a small cell lung carcinoma study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a small cell lung carcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New small cell lung carcinoma studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
