Why do lung cancer patients quit a key drug? new study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT07542210
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study interviews about 85 patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and 15 doctors to find out what makes it hard or easy to keep taking the drug osimertinib after surgery. The goal is to identify barriers like side effects, cost, or communication issues, and facilitators like support from family or doctors. No new treatment is given; it is purely an information-gathering study.
