New lung cancer pill could beat current standard in ROS1-Positive patients
NCT ID NCT06140836
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial compares two targeted drugs, repotrectinib and crizotinib, in about 190 people with advanced ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer who have not had prior targeted therapy. The main goal is to see which drug better delays cancer growth. Participants may have had up to one prior line of chemotherapy. The study is active but no longer recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- repotrectinib (a targeted drug) compared to crizotinib (a standard targeted drug)
- What this could lead to
- If repotrectinib works better, it could become a new first-choice treatment that helps people with this type of lung cancer live longer without their cancer growing.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage comparison in a specific genetic subtype of lung cancer. Repotrectinib may not prove superior to crizotinib, and side effects could be similar or worse.
