Experimental lung cancer drug shows promise but trial halted early
NCT ID NCT06685718
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tested an experimental drug called BG-60366 in 33 people with advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer. The drug is designed to break down the faulty EGFR protein that drives cancer growth. The study aimed to check safety and find the right dose, but it was terminated before completion, so full results are not available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BG-60366 (a drug that breaks down the faulty EGFR protein in cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with EGFR-mutant lung cancer whose disease has stopped responding to current therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very early (Phase 1) trial that was terminated, so results are limited. The drug may not be safe or effective enough to move forward.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC, carrying an EGFR activating mutation prior to receiving standard EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) * Phase 1a general inclusion criteria: * Disease progression on prior third-generation EGFR-TKI for advanced or metastatic disease, and either progressed or ineligible for currently available standard-of-care treatment (eg, platinum-based chemotherapy) after EGFR-TKI treatment * Phase 1a safety expansion * Documentation of EGFR resistance mutations (ie, C797s) * At least ≥ 1 evaluable lesion (for Phase 1a Dose Escalation) or at least ≥ 1 measurable lesion (for Phase 1a Safety Expansion or Phase 1b Dose Expansion) per RECIST v1.1 * EGFR resistance mutations may be detected locally either from tumor tissue or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood, and samples used for detection of resistance mutations must be collected after progression on the most recent systemic antitumor treatment * Adequate organ function * Stable Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤ 1 Exclusion Criteria: * Any previous histologic or cytologic evidence of small cell or combined small cell/non-small cell disease in the archival tumor tissue or tumor biopsy before enrollment * Symptomatic spinal cord compression * Brain metastases which are symptomatic and/or requiring emergency treatment (eg, starting steroid, or stereotactic radiation/whole-brain radiation within 2 weeks before first dose of study drug) * Prior treatment with fourth-generation EGFR-TKI, other CDAC/proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTAC) compounds targeting EGFR mutations, or other drugs with the mechanism of action specifically targeting EGFR resistance mutations (eg, C797X) (except for the first- to third-generation EGFR-TKIs) * Any history of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ≥ Grade 2 noninfectious pneumonitis ≤ 2 years before the first dose of study drug, or has current ILD/noninfectious pneumonitis, or where suspected active ILD/noninfectious pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging during screening * Uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring frequent drainage Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
