Cirtuvivint plus irinotecan for relapsed small-cell lung cancer
This trial will test whether adding cirtuvivint to irinotecan helps people with relapsed small-cell lung cancer respond better and live longer.
-
LY4175408 for selected advanced lung, endometrial, and triple‑negative breast cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug called LY4175408 to see if it is safe and works for people with advanced or metastatic non‑small cell or small cell lung cancer, endometrial cancer, or triple‑negative breast cancer.

Higher-dose twice-daily chest radiotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial will test if higher-dose, twice-daily chest radiotherapy given with standard cisplatin and etoposide helps people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer live longer and delay recurrence.

Phase I testing of 225Ac-ETN029 for advanced DLL3-positive tumors
This trial will test 225Ac-ETN029, with 111In-ETN029 used for imaging, to see if the treatment is safe, tolerable, and shows early anti-tumor activity in adults with advanced DLL3-positive neuroendocrine cancers.

Hospital-at-Home program for patients receiving Tarlatamab
This study is testing if a Hospital-at-Home program can help adults with advanced small cell lung cancer who are getting tarlatamab feel better while being monitored from home instead of staying in the hospital.

Evaluating NKT3964 for Adults with Advanced Solid Tumors
This study is testing a new drug called NKT3964 to see if it can safely help adults with advanced solid tumors, like ovarian or triple-negative breast cancer, after other treatments have failed.
-
Evaluating radiotherapy in advanced small cell lung cancer treatment
This study is testing if adding radiotherapy to the treatment of advanced small cell lung cancer can help patients live longer without their cancer getting worse while they are already receiving chemo-immunotherapy.
-
Ongoing collection of blood and tumor samples from people with lung cancer
Collect and store blood and tumor samples over time from adults with newly diagnosed or metastatic lung cancer to build a real-world biobank for research.

-
Imaging small cell lung cancer with a new tracer
This study is testing a new imaging agent to see if it can help doctors better see and identify small cell lung cancer and some related tumors in patients.
