Can extended poziotinib use keep cancer in check?
NCT ID NCT03744715
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial offers continued treatment with poziotinib for people with non-small cell lung cancer or breast cancer who have already benefited from the drug in a previous study. The goal is to monitor safety and see how long the cancer remains controlled with extended use. Only patients whose doctors believe they are still gaining clinical benefit can join.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- poziotinib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a way for patients who respond to poziotinib to keep receiving it for longer, potentially extending disease control.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, open-label extension study with only 7 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Poziotinib can cause side effects like rash and diarrhea.
