Recruiting studies
- NCT06647953RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a standard approach for pleuropulmonary blastoma, with or without topotecan
This trial compares a standard surgery and chemotherapy plan for type I pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) to adding the drug topotecan for types II and III PPB. The goal is to see if the extra drug helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes for children with more advanced disease.

Eye injection medicine after repeat retinal detachment surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests an injection of topotecan into the eye after surgery for retinal detachment that keeps coming back due to scar tissue (proliferative vitreoretinopathy). It may help improve how the retina heals after difficult, repeat operations when vision is usually very guarded.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04799002RecruitingPhase 3
Topotecan and melphalan for eye-sparing retinoblastoma treatment
This trial studies whether a combination chemotherapy treatment (topotecan plus melphalan) can help children with retinoblastoma while keeping the eye when possible. It’s a Phase 3 study, meaning it’s testing effectiveness in a larger group of patients.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT05874401RecruitingPhase 4
Trilaciclib added to topotecan for advanced small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether adding trilaciclib (a medicine given with chemotherapy) can improve outcomes for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who are being treated with topotecan. It compares trilaciclib versus a placebo (inactive pill) while you receive topotecan.

High-dose topotecan for retinoblastoma with vitreous seeds
This trial tests a high dose of a chemotherapy drug called topotecan given directly into the eye (intravitreal injection) for children with retinoblastoma that has come back or not responded to treatment and has seeds floating in the vitreous.

Study of combination chemotherapy for Wilms tumor in children
This Phase 2 trial tests combination chemotherapy for children with certain types of Wilms tumor—either newly diagnosed diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor or favorable Wilms tumor that has come back. The goal is to see how well the treatment controls the tumor and is tolerable for children.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT03126916RecruitingPhase 3
Testing added therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding either a targeted drug (lorlatinib) or a radioactive treatment (131I-MIBG) to intensive chemotherapy improves outcomes for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help by aiming at tumor cells more directly alongside standard treatment.

Study of sofetabart mipitecan for ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called sofetabart mipitecan for people with ovarian cancer that has come back after treatment. It is for those whose cancer is either resistant to platinum chemo (Part A) or sensitive to it (Parts B and C). The study will see if the drug can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07604766RecruitingPhase 3
Rina-S for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in China
This study tests a new cancer drug called Rina-S (an antibody-drug conjugate, which is a targeted therapy that delivers medicine directly to cancer cells) compared to standard treatment options for ovarian cancer that has returned or worsened after platinum chemotherapy. The trial is specifically for patients in China whose cancer is resistant to platinum drugs.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Topotecan?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 42 recruiting studies that include Topotecan, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Topotecan trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 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.
- Is Topotecan an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Topotecan or a specific trial is right for you.
