This trial tests if proton beam radiation therapy is safe and effective after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the chest. It is for people who have already had chemotherapy before their surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05778708Recruiting
Tai Chi and aerobic exercise for mood and sleep in late lung cancer
This study tests whether Tai Chi and aerobic exercise can improve clusters of emotional symptoms—like anxiety, low mood, poor sleep, and fatigue—in people with late-stage non-small cell lung cancer. If you have these symptoms and are not already doing regular exercise programs, the trial may offer a structured way to feel better.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05568212RecruitingPhase 2
Trial of immune combination versus standard care for NSCLC relapse
This Phase 2 trial studies an immune-based drug combination compared with standard care for lung cancer that has come back after chemoradiation and durvalumab. It aims to improve control of the cancer after durvalumab is no longer working.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT07369596Recruiting
Chemotherapy doses and survival in older lung cancer patients
This study looks at how lowering chemotherapy doses affects survival in older patients with advanced lung cancer who do not have certain genetic mutations. It may help doctors understand the best way to treat this group.
Hong KongAges 65 years+ - NCT05701176Recruiting
Imaging scan to see how anti–PD-1 changes lung cancer cells
This study uses special PET imaging to measure changes in a marker ([18F]F-AraG) in non-small cell lung cancer after starting anti–PD-1 treatment. It aims to learn whether these scan changes reflect how the cancer responds.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06773910RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo vs standard care for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (atigotatug and nivolumab) against the standard drug durvalumab for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer who have completed chemotherapy and radiation without the cancer getting worse. The goal is to see if the new combination works better at keeping the cancer from coming back.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07251582RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing infusion timing for lung cancer immunotherapy before surgery
This trial tests whether the timing of immunotherapy infusion before surgery improves how well the tumor responds in people with stage II to III non-small cell lung cancer. It combines immunotherapy with standard chemotherapy to shrink the tumor before it is removed.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT05837052RecruitingPhase 2
Serplulimab plus chemo after initial treatment for lung cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at how safe and effective serplulimab (an immune medicine) combined with chemotherapy is when used as a “conversion” plan—first shrinking lung cancer, then trying to remove the main tumor with surgery. It may help some people who are not initially good candidates for surgery or focused radiation to become eligible after treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05841472RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer without EGFR or ALK
This Phase 2 trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab, combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin, can work better as first treatment for advanced lung cancer that has no EGFR or ALK gene changes. You may be able to join if you have measurable disease, good enough organ function, and meet other safety rules for immune treatment.
AnamAges 19–80 - NCT06868836RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new antibody combination for advanced lung cancer after targeted therapy
This trial tests a new drug (JS207) that targets both PD-1 and VEGF pathways, given alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific gene change and has stopped responding to targeted therapy (TKI). The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07122687RecruitingPhase 2
IBI363 or Pembrolizumab with Chemo before Lung Cancer Surgery
This trial tests two different drug combinations (IBI363 plus chemo versus pembrolizumab plus chemo) given before surgery for people with a specific type of lung cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better at shrinking the tumor and helping patients recover.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell lung carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 742 recruiting small cell lung carcinoma 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 carcinoma 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 carcinoma 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.
