Can adding radiation to osimertinib keep lung cancer in check?

NCT ID NCT05089916

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether it is safe and effective to continue the targeted therapy osimertinib while also giving radiation to areas where lung cancer has started to grow again. The study includes 42 adults with EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer who are already on osimertinib. Researchers will monitor side effects, cancer progression, and quality of life during and after the combined treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Osimertinib (Tagrisso) and radiotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that combining osimertinib with targeted radiation is safe and helps control cancer growth longer in patients with limited progression.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 42 participants, so results may not apply broadly. There is a risk of serious side effects like lung inflammation or heart problems from the combination.
