Small cell lung cancer clinical trials

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 10% to 15% of all lung cancer cases.¹

SCLC is a less common form of lung cancer.

SCLC can be challenging because it grows faster than other types of lung cancer and is usually not detected until it has spread to other parts of the body (). Our goal is to discover new options that may treat SCLC.

There is a lot to consider when deciding whether to participate in a clinical trial. Any clinical trial includes risks, which the study doctor will review with you. Make sure you understand the risks before participating.
