NCT ID NCT05258279

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

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding lenvatinib to a standard chemotherapy-plus-immunotherapy regimen can shrink tumors in people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation. Participants will receive lenvatinib capsules daily along with infusions of carboplatin, pemetrexed, and pembrolizumab every three weeks. The study aims to see how many patients respond to the combination and how safe it is.

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

Active substance
a combination of lenvatinib, carboplatin, pemetrexed, and pembrolizumab
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer whose disease has progressed after standard therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial, so the combination may not prove more effective than existing treatments and could cause significant side effects.
