NCT ID NCT04849481

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study aims to understand the genetic makeup of non-small-cell lung cancer in 550 Taiwanese patients, especially those whose tumors are resistant to standard treatments. By analyzing tumor samples, researchers hope to find new drug targets and improve survival. Participants are adults with advanced lung cancer who have not responded to certain therapies.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help identify new treatment targets for lung cancer patients who have run out of options.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to new therapies, and results may not apply to other populations.
