New combo shows promise for Tough-to-Treat lung cancer

NCT ID NCT05941897

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

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of two drugs—ceralasertib (a pill) and durvalumab (an infusion)—in 39 adults with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has worsened after standard treatments like immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The main goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors. Researchers will also track how long any response lasts and how quickly it occurs.

What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced lung cancer who have run out of standard therapies.
