New drug targets Hard-to-Treat lung cancer in early trial
NCT ID NCT06855771
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a drug called navlimetostat in about 130 people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change (MTAP deletion) and has worsened after other treatments. The main goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors. Researchers will also monitor safety and how long any benefit lasts.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Navlimetostat (BMS-986504)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 130 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not shrink tumors or could cause side effects.
