Summary

This phase 3 trial tests an experimental drug called SY-5007 in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change (RET fusion). The drug is a daily pill designed to block the cancer-driving RET protein. The study aims to see how well the drug shrinks tumors and how safe it is. Participants have not had prior treatment for their advanced cancer.
