What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial is testing whether adding an experimental drug called NXP900 to the standard treatment lorlatinib can help people with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. The study includes adults who have already been treated with lorlatinib and whose cancer has not been cured. Researchers are looking at safety, tumor response, and how long any benefit lasts.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
NXP900 combined with lorlatinib
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced ALK-positive lung cancer whose disease has progressed on lorlatinib alone.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so the combination may not prove more effective than lorlatinib alone, and there is a risk of unexpected side effects.
Why investors are watching

Nuvectis Pharma is testing its experimental drug NXP900 together with the approved lung cancer medicine lorlatinib in 54 patients with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. For a micro-cap company with few products, this early-stage combination trial is a key test of whether NXP900 adds value in a real patient group. A clear signal of disease control could make the drug more attractive to larger partners or support further development.

If it works: A positive result could show that NXP900 safely combines with lorlatinib and helps control the cancer, which might strengthen the company's position in the lung cancer field. That outcome could lead to larger trials or partnership deals.

If it fails: Phase 1 trials often fail to show enough benefit or reveal safety problems, and this one is small and early. A poor result or delay could hurt the company's prospects, since it has few other products to fall back on.
