New hope for HER2-Mutant lung cancer: phase 3 trial launches
NCT ID NCT07178795
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 3 trial is testing a new drug called BL-M07D1 against standard chemotherapy (pembrolizumab plus platinum chemo) as a first treatment for people with advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has a HER2 mutation. About 440 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the new drug or standard therapy. The main goal is to see if BL-M07D1 can delay cancer growth or improve survival.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BL-M07D1 (a drug given by IV every 3 weeks)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new first-line treatment option for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer that has a HER2 mutation.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 3 trial, so results are not yet known. The new drug may not be more effective than current standard therapy and could have unexpected side effects.

ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1; 9. Toxicity from previous anti-tumor treatments has recovered to ≤ Grade 1 as defined by NCI-CTCAE v5.0; 10. Organ function levels must meet the requirements; 11. For premenopausal women with childbearing potential, a pregnancy test must be conducted within 7 days prior to the start of treatment, and the serum pregnancy test must be negative. They must not be breastfeeding. All enrolled patients (regardless of gender) should take adequate and highly effective contraceptive measures throughout the treatment period and for 7 months after the end of treatment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Having undergone surgical treatment, radical radiotherapy, immunotherapy, etc., within 4 weeks prior to the first dose or within 5 half-lives; 2. Pathological findings indicating non-small cell carcinoma containing small cell carcinoma components and sarcomatoid carcinoma; 3. Concurrent presence of other driver gene mutations for which targeted drug therapy is available and approved for NSCLC indications; 4. Previous treatment with HER2-targeted therapy or ADC drugs with camptothecin derivatives as the toxin; 5. History of severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases within the past 6 months prior to screening; 6. Concurrent pulmonary diseases leading to severe impairment of lung function; 7. History of ILD/interstitial pneumonia requiring steroid treatment or current diagnosis of ILD/interstitial pneumonia; 8. Prolonged QT interval, complete left bundle branch block, third-degree atrioventricular block, frequent and uncontrollable arrhythmias; 9. Diagnosis of other primary malignancies within 5 years prior to the first dose; 10. Newly developed deep vein thrombosis within 14 days prior to screening; 11. Hypertension poorly controlled by antihypertensive medications; 12. Patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases, carcinomatous meningitis (leptomeningeal metastases), and/or spinal cord compression; 13. Patients with a history of severe allergies to any excipients or components of the investigational drug; 14. History of autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation; 15. Positive human immunodeficiency virus antibody, active hepatitis B virus infection, liver cirrhosis, or hepatitis C virus infection; 16. Occurrence of severe infections within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the investigational drug; 17. Patients with significant serous cavity effusion, symptomatic serous cavity effusion, or poorly controlled serous cavity effusion; 18. Systemic corticosteroid treatment with \>10 mg/d prednisone or equivalent prior to randomization; 19. Presence of severe neurological or psychiatric disorders; 20. Subjects with clinically significant bleeding or obvious bleeding tendencies within 4 weeks prior to signing informed consent; 21. Conditions such as intestinal obstruction, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or chronic diarrhea; 22. Subjects planning to receive or having received live vaccines within 28 days prior to the first dose; 23. Presence of other severe physical or laboratory abnormalities, poor compliance, or any other factors that may increase the risk of participation in the study, interfere with study results, or make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study as determined by the investigator.
