Testing the Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, Entinostat, to the Usual Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy Treatment (Atezolizumab, Carboplatin and Etoposide) for Previously Untreated Aggressive Lung Cancer That Has Spread
NCT04631029 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This phase I trial seeks to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of entinostat in combination with atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide for the treatment of previously untreated aggressive lung cancer that has spread (extensive-stage small cell lung cancer). Entinostat and etoposide may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Carboplatin is a chemotherapy drug that attaches to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. Giving entinostat in combination with atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide may work better than atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide alone.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04631029
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04631029 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 3 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Cancer Institute (NCI), which has 2,390 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Malignant Solid Neoplasm appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Carboplatin is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04631029 reports 5 study locations spanning 5 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include New York, Pennsylvania, Utah. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
