First seen Jan 29, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding a new drug (LY2875358) to the standard treatment erlotinib works better than erlotinib alone for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific gene change (EGFR mutation). All 168 participants took erlotinib for 8 weeks first. Those whose cancer did not get worse were then randomly assigned to continue erlotinib alone or add the new drug. The main goal was to see if the combination helped keep cancer from growing longer.
