Drug duo aims to turn inoperable lung cancer into surgical candidates
NCT ID NCT07323056
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether two drugs, sacituzumab tirumotecan and limertinib, can shrink EGFR-mutant lung cancer enough to allow surgery. About 36 adults with advanced but potentially removable lung cancer will receive the combination before surgery. The goal is to see how many patients have no cancer left after treatment and to find markers that predict who benefits most.
