Clinical Trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer

(TESSERACT): Phase I/II Trial in ES-SCLC to Enhance Response to Atezolizumab Plus Chemotherapy With Total Body Irradiation (TBI)

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: Adults with untreated extensive-stage SCLC (ECOG 0–2; controlled brain mets allowed) receive standard carboplatin/etoposide plus atezolizumab (PD-L1 inhibitor) with the investigational addition of low-dose total body irradiation and short-course hypofractionated RT to dominant disease sites. Maintenance atezolizumab follows, with primary focus on safety and PFS.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06110572

A Phase I Study of Palliative Radiotherapy with Lurbinectedin in Patients with Extensive Stage 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

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: Adults with extensive-stage SCLC who progressed after first-line therapy and are receiving or eligible for lurbinectedin receive concurrent palliative external beam radiotherapy (5–10 fractions) plus lurbinectedin every 21 days. Lurbinectedin is a DNA minor-groove binder that inhibits oncogenic transcription via RNA polymerase II stalling and depletes tumor-associated macrophages; treated brain metastases allowed, ECOG 0–2 (≤3 permitted).

A Multicenter, Open-label Phase 1/2 Dose Finding, Safety, and Pharmacokinetic Study of MBRC-201, an Antibody-drug Conjugate, in Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors

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: Adults with advanced/metastatic solid tumors refractory to standard therapy (mCRPC, metastatic breast cancer subtypes including TNBC, HR+/HER2− or HER2-low, HR−/HER2+, NSCLC, CRC, PDAC) receive MBRC-201, an investigational antibody‑drug conjugate targeting a tumor-associated antigen and delivering a likely topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. Requires ECOG 0–2 and measurable disease in expansion/Phase 2; excludes active CNS disease and prior camptothecin‑payload ADCs in later phases.

A Phase 1b Study of Gilteritinib in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC With ALK Rearrangement After Prior Treatment With an ALK Inhibitor

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: Adults with ALK-rearranged, locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC who have progressed on prior ALK TKI (including post-alectinib or post-lorlatinib) receive oral gilteritinib, a FLT3/ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with intra-patient dose escalation based on tolerability and disease control. Excludes symptomatic CNS/LM disease and significant cardiac/QTc risks; assesses safety with secondary efficacy endpoints (including intracranial response).

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07140016

A Front-Line Window-of-Opportunity Phase 2 Study of Tarlatamab (Bispecific T Cell Engager: DLL3-CD3) in Patients With Extensive-Stage 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: Enrolling adults with newly diagnosed extensive-stage (metastatic/recurrent) small-cell lung cancer (ECOG 0–2) with measurable disease, including treated/stable asymptomatic brain metastases and select asymptomatic untreated brain metastases without edema. Patients receive first-line tarlatamab IV monotherapy (DLL3×CD3 bispecific T-cell engager redirecting T cells to DLL3-expressing SCLC) on a window-of-opportunity basis, with early progressors at 4 weeks transitioning to standard platinum chemotherapy plus an immune checkpoint inhibitor, and close monitoring for CRS/ICANS.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07423585

A Phase 1, Open-Label Study of ABSK112 to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics in Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

No known activity

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

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial evaluates ABSK112, a small molecule targeting EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer characterized by these mutations, focusing on its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics. The study involves dose escalation and an expansion cohort, enrolling adults with measurable disease and a life expectancy of at least three months.
