Experimental gene therapy aims to revive lung cancer treatment

NCT ID NCT04486833

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

Summary

This study tests an experimental gene therapy called quaratusugene ozeplasmid (Reqorsa) combined with the drug osimertinib (Tagrisso) in people with advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has stopped responding to osimertinib alone. The gene therapy delivers a tumor-suppressing gene to cancer cells. The trial has three parts: a dose-finding phase, an open-label phase, and a randomized phase comparing the combination to chemotherapy. About 158 participants will be enrolled.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

quaratusugene ozeplasmid (Reqorsa) plus osimertinib (Tagrisso)

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced lung cancer whose current medication stops working.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The gene therapy is experimental and may cause side effects or not improve outcomes.
