NCT ID NCT07710612

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding an experimental drug called ABSK043 to the standard targeted therapy osimertinib can help people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (EGFR-mutated, PD-L1 positive). The study enrolls adults whose cancer has spread or cannot be surgically removed. Researchers will monitor safety, side effects, and how long the cancer stays under control.

What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with EGFR-mutated lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapy.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so the benefits and risks are not yet fully known. The combination may cause side effects or fail to improve outcomes.
