Summary

This study looks at whether adding febuxostat (a gout medicine) to the standard lung cancer drug osimertinib can increase the amount of osimertinib that reaches the brain. It involves 7 adults with a specific type of advanced lung cancer who are already taking osimertinib. Researchers will measure drug levels in spinal fluid before and after adding febuxostat to see if the combination works.
