New hope for lung cancer patients when first targeted therapy stops working

NCT ID NCT06652048

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

Summary

This study tests whether a higher dose of the targeted drug furmonertinib, either alone or combined with chemotherapy, can help people with advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer whose first targeted treatment stopped working. About 60 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a higher dose of furmonertinib, an even higher dose, or furmonertinib plus standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see which approach delays cancer growth the longest.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Furmonertinib (a targeted cancer pill) and chemotherapy (pemetrexed plus carboplatin or cisplatin)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced lung cancer whose current targeted therapy has stopped working.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase (Phase 2) study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Higher doses of furmonertinib may cause more side effects, and combining it with chemotherapy increases toxicity risks.
