Can common antibiotics throw off a lung cancer Drug's levels?
NCT ID NCT07809815
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are studying whether rifampicin or itraconazole change how the body handles befotertinib, an oral medicine for lung cancer. Thirty-six healthy volunteers take a single dose of befotertinib alone, then again after several days of rifampicin or itraconazole. The study measures drug levels in the blood to see if these combinations alter befotertinib's processing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- befotertinib, an oral cancer drug, tested alongside rifampicin or itraconazole
- What this could lead to
- If the results show these drugs change befotertinib levels in the body, doctors could adjust doses to keep the cancer treatment safe and effective.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers, so the findings may not apply to cancer patients. Participants take rifampicin or itraconazole, which can cause side effects and interact with other medicines.
