Summary

This phase II trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, SKB264 and SKB118, can safely shrink tumors in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. The study includes a dose-finding phase and an expansion phase to better understand the treatment's effects. Participants must have a specific type of lung cancer without certain gene mutations and be in generally good health.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Sacituzumab tirumotecan (SKB264) and SKB118
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have limited alternatives.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase II trial, so the combination may not prove effective or could cause significant side effects. Results may not apply to all patients.
