NCT ID NCT04797702

First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial is testing whether combining two drugs—glumetinib and toripalimab—can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to or is no longer controlled by standard treatments. The study is enrolling adults whose cancer has a specific marker (PD-L1 expression of 1% or higher) and who do not have certain genetic mutations. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective.

Active substance
a combination of two drugs: glumetinib (a MET inhibitor) and toripalimab (an immunotherapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have run out of standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so the benefits and risks are not yet clear. The combination may cause significant side effects, and it is unknown if it will work better than existing treatments.
