NCT ID NCT04922658

First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase II trial tests the drug surufatinib, either alone or combined with the chemotherapy vinorelbine, in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have already tried at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if these treatments can slow tumor growth or shrink tumors. Participants take the drugs by mouth daily, and the study measures how long they live without the cancer getting worse.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced lung cancer who have run out of standard therapies.
