Antibody-Drug conjugate takes aim at c-Met-High lung cancer
NCT ID NCT07821684
First seen Sep 16, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing whether an experimental drug called telisotuzumab adizutecan works better than standard chemotherapy for people with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has grown after earlier treatment. The trial enrolls about 660 participants whose tumors are EGFR wildtype and express high levels of the c-Met protein. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drug or standard care with docetaxel, with or without ramucirumab, and doctors track tumor response and overall survival.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- telisotuzumab adizutecan, an experimental antibody-drug conjugate
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new targeted option for people with non-squamous NSCLC whose tumors express high levels of c-Met and whose cancer has grown after standard treatments.
- What could go wrong
- The drug is still experimental, and this trial may show it does not beat standard chemotherapy. Antibody-drug conjugates can cause serious side effects, and results in this selected group may not apply to other lung cancers.
