First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests gilteritinib, a drug already approved for leukemia, in 30 people with stage IV ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goals are to find the safest dose and check for side effects. Researchers hope the drug can overcome common resistance that develops to current ALK-targeted therapies.
