First seen Apr 08, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This early study looks at whether adding febuxostat (a gout medicine) to the standard lung cancer drug osimertinib can increase how much of the cancer drug gets into the brain fluid. Only 7 patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer and no brain metastases will take part. The goal is to measure drug levels, not to treat the disease directly.
