First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This completed Phase 1/2 trial tested a combination of two drugs, amivantamab and docetaxel, in 12 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that had spread. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the combo could shrink tumors. The study focused on patients whose cancer had worsened after standard treatments like chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Amivantamab and docetaxel
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 12 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Side effects can be serious, including severe toxicity and lung inflammation.
