New drug combo aims to outsmart resistant lung cancer

NCT ID NCT07322783

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding savolitinib to osimertinib can help people with a certain type of advanced lung cancer (EGFR-mutated NSCLC) that has become resistant to osimertinib. The study enrolls 60 adults whose tumors have low levels of MET amplification. Participants take both drugs daily until the disease worsens or side effects become too severe. The main goal is to see how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Osimertinib and savolitinib (two cancer drugs taken as pills)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with a specific type of lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply widely. The combination may cause side effects or fail to improve outcomes.
