Clinical Trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer

An Investigator-sponsored Phase 2 Trial of Afatinib Plus Prednisone for Advanced Squamous 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

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.

HealthScout AI summary: This trial investigates the efficacy of a combination of afatinib, an EGFR-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and prednisone in improving progression-free survival for patients aged 18 or older with previously treated advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Enrolled patients must have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 and measurable disease.

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.

HealthScout 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.

HealthScout AI summary: This trial investigates the safety and efficacy of combining pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, with the experimental ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor DFMO in patients aged 18 or older with Stage IV NSCLC and STK11 mutations, focusing on those who are treatment-naïve or have progressed after previous therapies.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06219174

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.

HealthScout 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.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04701476

A Randomized Phase II Study of INC280 (Capmatinib) Plus Osimertinib With or Without Ramucirumab in Participants With EGFR-Mutant, MET-Amplified Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (Lung-MAP Sub-Study)

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.

HealthScout AI summary: The trial enrolls patients with advanced or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer having EGFR mutations and MET amplification, who progressed after osimertinib, to assess the efficacy of capmatinib (a MET inhibitor) and osimertinib with or without ramucirumab (an anti-angiogenic antibody).

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05642572

A Phase 2 Study of Nivolumab Plus Ramucirumab in Patients With Recurrent, Advanced, Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

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.

HealthScout AI summary: The trial investigates the efficacy of nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting the PD-1 receptor, combined with ramucirumab, a VEGFR2 inhibitor, in patients with recurrent, advanced, metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma who have previously received immunotherapy. It is specifically for patients treated with immunotherapy alone or with chemotherapy, regardless of PD-L1 status.
