NCT ID NCT05256290

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests an experimental oral drug called silevertinib (BDTX-1535) in about 200 adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer or glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. The drug is designed to block specific EGFR mutations that help these cancers grow. The trial has two phases: Phase 1 determined the safest dose, and Phase 2 is now checking how well the drug shrinks tumors. Participants take the drug daily in 21-day cycles.
