What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This phase 2 trial tested the drug furmonertinib in 24 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has EGFR mutations and spread to the brain. The goal was to see how long the drug could keep brain tumors from growing. Participants took a daily pill, and researchers measured brain tumor response and safety.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Furmonertinib
What this could lead to
If successful, furmonertinib could offer a new treatment option for patients with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the brain, potentially controlling the disease longer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 24 participants and no comparison group. Results may not apply to all patients, and side effects are possible.
