Summary

This early-stage trial tests an experimental drug called BBO-8520 in 350 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS G12C). The drug is taken as a pill and aims to block cancer growth. The study will check for safety, side effects, and whether the tumor shrinks. Some participants may also receive the drug with other treatments like pembrolizumab.
