Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06464068RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo for first-line advanced extrapulmonary small cell cancer
This trial tests a new combination of durvalumab (an immunotherapy) plus standard chemotherapy for people with advanced small cell carcinoma that started outside the lung and has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combo works better than chemo alone.
Reggio EmiliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06110572RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Total body irradiation with immunotherapy for extensive SCLC
This trial adds total body irradiation (a low dose of radiation to the whole body) to standard atezolizumab (immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the radiation helps the immunotherapy work better.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06467786RecruitingPhase 4
Irinotecan liposomes for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial is testing a new form of chemotherapy called irinotecan liposomes for people with advanced small cell lung cancer that has worsened after initial treatment. It aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors and improve survival.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06467500RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab plus chemo for lung cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests a new drug called cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer who have already tried and failed immunotherapy. It aims to see if this combination can help when standard immunotherapy no longer works.
