Summary

This study tested an experimental drug called MORAb-202 in 31 people with a type of advanced lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer adenocarcinoma) that had gotten worse after other treatments. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. The trial was stopped early, but researchers were looking at how safe the drug is and whether it can shrink tumors.

Active substance

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with a certain type of advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This was a small, early-phase trial that was terminated early, so results are limited. The drug may cause side effects and may not shrink tumors or improve survival.
