New drug cocktail targets hard-to-treat lung cancer before surgery

NCT ID NCT07472478

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

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a sequence of targeted therapy (garsorasib), immunotherapy (ivonescimab), and chemotherapy before and after surgery for people with a specific type of lung cancer (KRAS G12C mutation) that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach increases the chance of no cancer remaining at surgery and delays the cancer coming back. The study plans to enroll 32 adults with stage IB to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer who have not had prior treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Garsorasib (a KRAS G12C inhibitor) and ivonescimab (an immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin)

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could improve the chance of eliminating all cancer before surgery and delay recurrence afterward for people with this specific lung cancer mutation.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug combination also carries risks of serious side effects from chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
