NCT ID NCT05184712

First seen Mar 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding the experimental drug AK112 (ivonescimab) to standard chemotherapy can help people with advanced EGFR-mutant non-squamous lung cancer whose targeted therapy has failed. About 322 participants will receive either AK112 or a placebo, plus pemetrexed and carboplatin. The main goal is to see if the combination delays cancer progression.
