Clinical Trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer

Biomarker Directed Trial of Temozolomide and Stenoparib in Relapsed SCLC

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 relapsed extensive-stage SCLC after one prior platinum/etoposide-based line are enrolled, including ECOG 0-2 patients with measurable disease and treated/asymptomatic brain metastases allowed. Biomarker-positive patients are randomized to oral stenoparib, an investigational PARP inhibitor targeting DNA damage repair, plus oral temozolomide versus IV lurbinectedin; biomarker-negative patients receive lurbinectedin.

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 untreated stage IV or recurrent metastatic NSCLC, ECOG 0–1, and no major actionable driver alterations receive first-line nivolumab (PD-1 inhibitor) plus ipilimumab (CTLA-4 inhibitor) and subcutaneous nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (N-803), an IL-15 superagonist that activates NK and CD8+ T cells. Treated, neurologically stable brain metastases are permitted.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07355205

Phase I/II Trial of Lurbinectedin With Osimertinib in Transformed Small Cell Lung Cancer

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 EGFR-mutated NSCLC that transformed to small cell lung cancer after osimertinib receive IV lurbinectedin, a DNA minor-groove binder that disrupts oncogenic transcription and induces DNA damage, plus oral osimertinib, a CNS-active third-generation EGFR inhibitor. Prior platinum/etoposide after transformation is permitted.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07153055

A Phase I Clinical Trial of Carfilzomib in Combination With Sotorasib in Patients With KRASG12C Mutated Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

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.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial evaluates the combination of carfilzomib, a proteasome inhibitor, and sotorasib, a KRAS G12C inhibitor, in adults with advanced or metastatic KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer who have progressed after previous KRAS inhibitor treatments.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06249282

SiCARIO (Split Course Adaptive Radioimmunotherapy) for the Treatment of Oligometastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Using Biologically-Adaptive Radiotherapy - A Phase I/II Study

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.

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 involves adults with stage IVA/IVB or locally advanced NSCLC unsuitable for standard chemoradiation, using split-course adaptive radiation therapy combined with immunotherapy agents like pembrolizumab and ipilimumab, which enhance immune targeting of cancer cells, with or without standard chemotherapy like carboplatin.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05501665

Phase I Study of Gilteritinib for ALK Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

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.

TrialFetch AI summary: The trial involves previously treated adult patients with stage IV ALK positive non-small cell lung cancer, evaluating the safety and optimal dosing of gilteritinib, an investigational drug that targets the FLT3 receptor tyrosine kinase. Patients must have progressed on first and second-generation ALK TKIs and may have had chemotherapy or other antineoplastic treatments.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06225427

A Phase II Trial of Hepatic Ablation of Metastases to Modulate and Enhance Immunotherapy Response (HAMMER) in NSCLC

TATE delivers the hypoxia-activated prodrug Tirapazamine to liver tumors, while Pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, blocks the PD-1 pathway to enhance anti-tumor immunity.
