NCT ID NCT06321510
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how patients with advanced EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer fared while taking dacomitinib in real-world settings in Taiwan. Researchers tracked 29 adults who took dacomitinib pills at home until their cancer stopped responding. The goal was to see how often doses were changed or stopped, and how long patients lived without their disease getting worse.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
dacomitinib (a targeted therapy pill taken by mouth)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could confirm that dacomitinib is a safe and effective first-line treatment for advanced EGFR-positive lung cancer in real-world settings.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study with only 29 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It does not compare dacomitinib to other treatments, so its relative effectiveness is unclear.
