New hope for EGFR lung cancer: experimental drug SHR-A2009 takes on chemo in phase 3 trial
NCT ID NCT06671379
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 3 study compares a new experimental drug, SHR-A2009, to standard chemotherapy in 498 people with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer whose current targeted therapy (EGFR TKI) has stopped working. The goal is to see if SHR-A2009 can better control the cancer and extend life. Participants receive either SHR-A2009 or a chemo combination (pemetrexed plus carboplatin or cisplatin) by IV.

- Active substance
- SHR-A2009 (an experimental drug given by IV)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with EGFR-mutant lung cancer whose current targeted therapy has stopped working.
- What could go wrong
