Common painkiller may boost lung cancer Drug's power
NCT ID NCT04184921
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding aspirin to the targeted drug osimertinib helps control advanced EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer. 216 participants received the combination as their first treatment. The goal was to see if it delays cancer progression and improves survival.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- osimertinib and aspirin
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this combination could help control advanced EGFR-positive lung cancer longer than osimertinib alone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial without a comparison group, so results may not confirm benefit. Aspirin also carries bleeding risks.
