New drug duo tested for Tough-to-Treat lung cancer

NCT ID NCT03202940

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a second drug, cobimetinib, to the standard drug alectinib can help control advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to alectinib alone. Researchers want to find the safest dose of this combination and see if it can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth. The study is for adults with a specific type of lung cancer (ALK-positive) that has spread and worsened despite prior treatment.
