Clinical Trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase II Trial of Lung Chemoemobolization

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with unresectable, unablatable non-small cell lung cancer or lung metastases progressing on or intolerant to systemic therapy receive transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with intra-arterial mitomycin (alkylating cytotoxic agent), lipiodol (contrast/drug carrier), and embospheres (arterial embolic microspheres). This trial targets patients not eligible for surgery, ablation, or radiation, assessing local disease control using a locoregional approach.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05672108

A Multicenter Phase II Randomized Trial Of Immunotherapy Versus Chemotherapy Guided By Circulating Tumor DNA-Based Molecular Response On Patients With Metastatic NSCLC

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with previously untreated, stage IV NSCLC, positive PD-L1 (≥1%), detectable ctDNA, and no actionable driver mutations, to compare nivolumab plus ipilimumab (immune checkpoint inhibitors) with or without addition of platinum-doublet chemotherapy based on early ctDNA response. Treatment is adapted according to ctDNA response after initial immunotherapy.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05715229

A Pilot Study of Spatially Fractionated Radiation Therapy in Patients with Extra-Cranial Soft Tissue Metastases

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors and at least two extracranial soft tissue metastases (one ≥4 cm) requiring palliative radiation, comparing lattice radiation therapy (LRT)—a spatially fractionated radiotherapy technique that may enhance immune effects—to standard SBRT, with each patient receiving both treatments at different sites.

Beamion LUNG-1: An Open Label, Phase I Dose Escalation Trial, With Dose Confirmation and Expansion, of Zongertinib (BI 1810631) as Monotherapy in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors With HER2 Aberrations

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring HER2 aberrations, with a focus on NSCLC patients with HER2 mutations, including those previously treated, treatment-naïve, or with brain metastases. Patients receive zongertinib, an oral, selective covalent tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting both wild-type and mutant HER2 while sparing EGFR.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04886804

ICON-RT: Intracranial Consolidation and Deferral of Radiation Therapy in Patients Receiving Approved CNS-Active Systemic Therapeutics

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with EGFR-mutant NSCLC and at least one measurable brain metastasis (≥1 cm) who are TKI-naïve or recently started osimertinib, randomizing them after 3 months of osimertinib to either continue osimertinib alone or add stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to residual brain metastases. It excludes patients with prior brain-directed radiotherapy, leptomeningeal disease, or more than 20 brain metastases after initial TKI therapy.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06741085

Single Arm Study to Assess the Immune Effects of Fermented Wheat Germ (FWG) Nutritional Supplementation in Patients With Advanced Malignancies Being Treated With Standard of Care Checkpoint Inhibitor-Based Therapy

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with advanced non-small cell lung, renal cell, melanoma, colorectal, or triple-negative breast cancers eligible for standard checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy will receive oral fermented wheat germ supplementation (a nutritional product with proposed but unproven immunomodulatory effects) alongside their standard immunotherapy regimen. No chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or recent immunomodulatory agents are allowed prior to enrollment.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05967533

A Phase 1 Study of SGN-PDL1V in Advanced Solid Tumors

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with metastatic or unresectable, PD-L1–expressing solid tumors (including NSCLC, HNSCC, esophageal SCC, TNBC, ovarian cancer, melanoma, and gastric cancer) who have failed or are ineligible for standard therapies. Patients receive either SGN-PDL1V, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting PD-L1 and delivering MMAE, or a combination of SGN-PDL1V plus pembrolizumab.
