New combo attack on tough lung cancer
NCT ID NCT03707938
Summary
This early study is testing a two-part treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer with a specific genetic change (ALK). First, patients take a targeted drug (brigatinib) to shrink tumors. Then, they receive focused radiation or surgery to try to eliminate any remaining cancer spots. The main goal is to see if this combined approach is safe and can help control the cancer for longer.
