Clinical Trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer

A Double-Blind Phase II Randomized Study of Adaptively Delivered LINAC-Based Stereotactic Radiation for Volatile Brain Metastases With Same-Day Planning and Margin Reduction

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 (≥18) with solid tumors and at least one intact/residual/recurrent “volatile” brain metastasis at higher risk for interval change/displacement (e.g., rapid growth, near edema or recent surgical cavity), KPS ≥60 and expected survival ≥3–6 months, are treated with same-day MRI-simulated, adaptively planned LINAC-based stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy. Patients are randomized to stereotactic radiation using a 0 mm versus 1 mm planning target volume margin to test whether tighter margins can maintain control while reducing geographic miss and toxicity (e.g., radiation necrosis).

A Phase 2 Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Petosemtamab in Adults With Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Combination With Pembrolizumab as First-Line Treatment

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.

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

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

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 targets adults with stage IV NSCLC involving liver metastases, excluding those with EGFR or BRAF mutations and prior liver radiation, to evaluate the impact of adding liver stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (L-SABR) to a standard regimen of anti-PD-(L)1 based immunotherapy and optional platinum-based chemotherapy.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05657873

An Open Label Phase II Study for the Treatment of Liver Metastatic Colorectal Cancer and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With a Combination of TATE (Trans-Arterial Tirapazamine Embolization) and Pembrolizumab

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 evaluates the combination of Trans-Arterial Tirapazamine Embolization (TATE) and Pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have liver metastases and have progressed after prior therapies. 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.
