Lung cancer resistance mystery: new study digs into entrectinib failures

NCT ID NCT07199959

First seen Oct 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 40 times

Summary

This observational study aims to understand why some ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancers stop responding to the drug entrectinib. Researchers will analyze tissue or blood samples from 38 patients who have already taken entrectinib as part of their regular care. By using genetic sequencing, they hope to identify the mechanisms behind acquired resistance.
