Clinical Trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase I/II Study of Ladarixin and Sotorasib in Advanced KRAS G12C Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (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.

No known activity

No investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity yet in clinical trials

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with metastatic or locally advanced KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC who have progressed after anti-PD-(L)1 therapy (with or without prior platinum chemotherapy) and have not received prior KRAS G12C inhibitors. Patients receive sotorasib (KRAS G12C inhibitor) combined with ladarixin, a dual CXCR1/2 antagonist targeting IL-8 signaling to modulate the tumor microenvironment.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05815173

A Feasibility Multicenter Phase I Study of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring-Based Atezolizumab Dosing

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 enrolls adults (ECOG 0-2) with locally advanced or metastatic cancers eligible for atezolizumab, investigating therapeutic drug monitoring-based personalized dosing of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor) as monotherapy or combined with other approved agents. Patients initially receive standard dosing, then transition to adaptive, lower-frequency fixed dosing based on plasma levels.

A Phase II Trial of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) and Tremelimumab in Combination With Chemotherapy in HIV-infected Patients With Non-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.

Started >3 years ago

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and well-controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease, and treats them with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in combination with durvalumab (anti-PD-L1 antibody) and tremelimumab (anti-CTLA-4 antibody). Maintenance durvalumab (with or without pemetrexed for non-squamous histology) is given to responders after induction.

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: Adult patients with NSCLC and measurable brain metastases eligible for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy are randomized to receive standard ICI treatment alone or in combination with targeted blood-brain barrier opening using Exablate focused ultrasound, a device-based method to enhance drug delivery to brain lesions.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05317858

KB707-02: a Phase 1/2 Study of Inhaled KB707 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies Affecting the Lungs

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.

No known activity

No investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity yet in clinical trials

TrialFetch AI summary: This study enrolls adults with advanced (stage 3 or 4) NSCLC or other solid tumors affecting the lungs who have progressed after, are intolerant of, or have refused standard therapy, and who have measurable lung lesions and good performance status. Treatment is with inhaled KB707, a gene therapy delivering IL-12 and IL-2 via a non-integrating HSV-1 vector to enhance local anti-tumor immunity, either as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab and/or chemotherapy.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06228326

Phase II Trial of Photon Craniospinal Irradiation for Leptomeningeal Disease Secondary to Solid Tumor Malignancy

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 enrolls adults with leptomeningeal disease secondary to breast cancer or non-small cell lung cancer who have adequate performance status and organ function, and treats them with photon craniospinal irradiation using VMAT, an advanced conformal radiation therapy technique. All patients receive 10 fractions of CSI over 10 to 20 days to assess efficacy and safety in controlling central nervous system progression.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06910761

A Phase II Study of Osimertinib With On-study and Post-progression Biopsy in the First Line Treatment of EGFR Inhibitor naïve Advanced EGFR Mutant 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.

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: Eligible patients are adults with stage IV, EGFR inhibitor-naive NSCLC harboring sensitizing EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletion or L858R) and good performance status, who receive single-agent osimertinib, an oral third-generation, irreversible EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The study includes mandatory tumor biopsies before treatment and at progression for genomic analysis.
