Can a daily pill outsmart resistant lung cancer mutations?
NCT ID NCT05559645
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests an experimental daily pill, DZD9008, in adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors carry certain EGFR mutations. Some participants have already tried standard treatments and their cancer progressed, while others are new to treatment. Researchers measure how long the drug keeps cancer from growing and how well it shrinks tumors, while also tracking safety and side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DZD9008, an experimental oral drug taken daily that targets cancer cells with certain EGFR mutations
- What this could lead to
- If it works, DZD9008 could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced lung cancer whose tumors carry specific EGFR mutations, especially those that no longer respond to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study, so the drug may not shrink tumors or improve survival in all patients. Side effects are possible, and results may not apply to everyone with lung cancer.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. To provide a signed and dated, written informed consent. 2. Aged ≥ 18 years old 3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with documented EGFR mutations from a local laboratory 4. ECOG performance status 0-1. 5. Predicted life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks 6. Patient must have measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1. 7. Patient who has progressed or intolerant to standard therapy (except treatment naïve patients in Cohort 4 and Cohort 7: with EGFR Exon20ins; in Cohort 5 with EGFR sensitizing mutation; and in Cohort8 with EGFR PACC mutation). 8. Patients with brain metastasis (BM) can be enrolled under the condition that BM is stable, neurologically asymptomatic and does not require corticosteroid treatment. 9. Adequate organ system function. * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10\^9/L * Platelets ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L * Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN if no liver metastases or ≤ 3 x ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert's Syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) or liver metastases * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN if no liver metastases or ≤ 5 x ULN with liver metastases * Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN, concurrent with calculated or measured creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault method or ≥ 50 mL/min in 24 hours * International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 x ULN and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN; * Serum amylase ≤ 1.5 x ULN and serum lipase ≤ 1.5 x ULN Exclusion criteria: 1. Known history of bleeding diathesis. 2. Prior malignancy within 2 years requires active treatment. 3. Any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than CTCAE grade 1 at the time of first administration. 4. History of stroke or intracranial haemorrhage within 6 months before the first administration. 5. Spinal cord compression or leptomeningeal metastasis. 6. As judged by the investigator, any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol, or active infection including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). 7. Any of the following cardiac criteria: * Mean resting corrected QT interval (QTcF) \> 470 msec obtained from 3 electrocardiograms (ECGs); * Any clinically significant abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG, e.g., complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block, and second-degree heart block, PR interval \> 250 msec. * Any factors that increase the risk of QTcF prolongation, such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age in first degree relatives or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval. * Prior history of atrial fibrillation within 6 months of first administration of DZD9008, except prior drug treatment related and recovered. 8. Past medical history of interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial lung disease, radiation pneumonitis which required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease. 9. Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, inability to swallow the formulated product or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption of DZD9008. 10. History of hypersensitivity to active or inactive excipients of DZD9008 or drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to DZD9008. 11. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding. 12. Involvement in the planning and conduct of the study. 13. Judgment by the investigator that the patient should not participate in the study if the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements.
