Lung cancer combo trial halted early

NCT ID NCT05469178

Terminated Disease control Sponsor: BerGenBio ASA Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called bemcentinib added to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced non-squamous lung cancer. The study aimed to check safety and find the right dose, but it was terminated early. Only 26 people took part, so we cannot draw firm conclusions about how well it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

bemcentinib (a drug taken orally) combined with pembrolizumab, carboplatin, and pemetrexed (standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy)

What this could lead to

If it had succeeded, this could have pointed toward a new treatment option for people with a specific genetic mutation (STK11) in advanced lung cancer.

What could go wrong

The trial was terminated early, so results are limited. It was a small, early-phase study (Phase 1b/2a) focused on safety, not proof of effectiveness. The combination may also cause side effects from multiple drugs.
