First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding two antibody drugs (trastuzumab and necitumumab) to the standard pill osimertinib can shrink tumors in people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (EGFR-mutated) that has stopped responding to osimertinib alone. About 30 participants will receive the combination to find the best dose and see how well it works. The goal is to overcome drug resistance and improve outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

trastuzumab, necitumumab, and osimertinib

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Adding more drugs also raises the risk of side effects.
