New combo therapy shows promise for Drug-Resistant lung cancer
NCT ID NCT04606771
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether adding savolitinib to osimertinib can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth in people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (EGFR-mutated, MET-amplified) that has worsened despite osimertinib treatment. About 30 adults will receive either the drug combination or savolitinib with a placebo. The main goal is to see how many patients have their tumors shrink significantly.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- savolitinib and osimertinib (drug combination)
- 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 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination may not improve outcomes or could cause additional side effects.
