Scientists test drug duo to outsmart lung Cancer's resistance

NCT ID NCT03122717

Summary

This study is testing if using two drugs, osimertinib and gefitinib, together works better than one alone for people newly diagnosed with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (EGFR mutation). The main goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer for longer by trying to prevent the cancer from becoming resistant to treatment. Researchers will test two different dosing schedules to find the best and safest way to give the drugs.
