NCT ID NCT06029127

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tested a new drug called gimistotug (BGB-A445) combined with either another experimental drug (BGB-15025) or the standard chemo docetaxel in 35 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. All participants had already tried an immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The main goal was to see if the combinations could shrink tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

gimistotug (BGB-A445) plus BGB-15025 or docetaxel

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new combination treatment option for people with non-small cell lung cancer whose disease has progressed after standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 35 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drugs may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
