Repurposed leukemia drug tested as new hope for Tough-to-Treat lung cancer

NCT ID NCT06225427

Summary

This early-stage study is testing a drug called gilteritinib in patients with advanced, ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to other targeted treatments. The main goals are to find the safest dose and understand the side effects. Researchers are studying this drug, which is already approved for a type of leukemia, because lab tests suggest it might work against lung cancer cells that have become resistant to current therapies.
