Recruiting studies
- NCT03958565Recruiting
Study how targeted drugs affect bone tumors in lung cancer
This trial studies how tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) medicines work against non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the bone. It’s for people with specific “actionable” gene changes, to see how well these treatments reduce or change bone metastases.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03808337RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus standard treatment for spread cancer
This trial looks at adding a focused radiation treatment called SBRT to standard care for cancers that have spread to a limited number of spots. It aims to control those spread-out tumors while still using the usual cancer treatment plan.
San Carlos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03819296RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant to treat cancer immunotherapy bowel side effects
This early-phase study tests whether changing your gut bacteria with a fecal transplant can improve diarrhea or colitis caused by cancer immunotherapy. It may help people whose symptoms have not fully settled with standard treatments like steroids and other immune-blocking medicines.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03191149RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib for lung cancer with an EGFR exon 20 change
This Phase 2 study tests osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have an EGFR exon 20 insertion. It aims to see how well osimertinib works for this specific EGFR mutation and how safe it is.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT03042221Recruiting
Early re-biopsy to find why tumors survive targeted drugs
This study takes a small tumor sample early after starting targeted treatment (or uses blood if a biopsy isn’t possible) to look for clues—called biomarkers—about why some tumor cells survive. The results may help improve how future patients’ treatments are chosen for certain lung cancer gene mutations.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT03199651Recruiting
Study for people with stage IV lung cancer
This study focuses on improving outcomes for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer by gathering health, treatment, and lifestyle information. It may help researchers understand what supports survival and care planning, especially for people who are current smokers or recent quitters.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02688894Recruiting
Molecular testing for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This study uses tumor tissue to look for molecular (biologic) changes after your small cell lung cancer comes back. It may help doctors choose the most appropriate next treatment based on what the cancer’s biology shows.
IncheonAges 20 years+ - NCT02622581Recruiting
Lung cancer research registry for treatment and outcomes
This study collects information from people with lung cancer to understand how different treatments work and what outcomes they have. It includes patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC) at various stages.
OldenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT02133196RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell treatment for lung cancer that has spread
This Phase 2 study tests a T-cell–based immunotherapy for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite prior treatment. It may help your immune system recognize and fight your cancer using cells made from your tumor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT01639508RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib for lung cancer with specific gene changes
This trial studies how well cabozantinib works in advanced lung cancer when the tumor has certain gene changes (like RET, ROS1, NTRK, MET, or AXL). It may help slow tumor growth after standard treatments, depending on your tumor test results.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT01385722Enrolling by invitation
Molecular testing for cancers in the chest
This study looks at the genetic changes (molecular analysis) in certain cancers of the chest. It may help doctors learn more about what drives these cancers and how they might be diagnosed or treated in the future.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07546383Recruiting
New Immunotherapy Combination for Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (called iparomlimab and tuvonralimab), with or without chemotherapy, for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has returned or spread after previous treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help people with this cancer live longer with fewer side effects.
Haikou, HainanAges 18–75 - NCT06793813RecruitingPhase 2
Study of cadonilimab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called cadonilimab for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after treatment with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it helps control the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07374614Recruiting
Study of iruplinalkib after lorlatinib for ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial is for people with advanced lung cancer whose tumors have an ALK gene change and who have already taken a medicine called lorlatinib. It tests a new drug, iruplinalkib, to see how well it works for those who stopped responding to or couldn't tolerate lorlatinib.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07192068RecruitingPhase 2
Zanidatamab for HER2-altered solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called zanidatamab in people with certain cancers (endometrial, colorectal, head & neck, non-small cell lung, or sarcoma) that have a specific change in the HER2 gene. It's for those whose cancer has spread or can't be removed and who have tried at least one prior treatment.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07087158RecruitingPhase 2
IBR854 plus pazopanib vs pazopanib for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new combination therapy (IBR854 plus pazopanib) against pazopanib alone for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer who haven't had prior treatment. It aims to see if the combination works better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small cell lung carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 730 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.
