New drug aimed at Hard-to-Treat lung cancer enters Mid-Stage trial
NCT ID NCT06568939
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing three different doses of an investigational drug called telisotuzumab vedotin in about 150 adults with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer that has high levels of a protein called c-Met and no EGFR mutation). The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Researchers will monitor safety, side effects, and whether the tumors shrink. The study is currently recruiting at sites worldwide.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Telisotuzumab vedotin (a drug that targets cancer cells with high c-Met protein)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with a specific type of lung cancer that has not responded to prior therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug can cause side effects like lung inflammation, nerve damage, and eye problems.

Inclusion Criteria: * Projected life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. * Must have c-Met overexpressing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (defined as \>= 25% tumor cells with 3+ staining (high \[\>= 50% 3+\]; intermediate \[\>= 25% - \< 50%\]) as assessed by a Sponsor designated immunohistochemistry (IHC) laboratory * Must have histologically or cytologically documented NSCLC that is locally advanced or metastatic. * Must have a known epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutation status. * Actionable alterations in genes other than EGFR are permitted. * Must have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. * Must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 1. * Must have received no more than 1 line of prior systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy in the locally advanced or metastatic setting, as stated in the protocol. * Must have progressed on at least 1 line of prior therapy for locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC, as stated in the protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * Adenosquamous or neuroendocrine histology, or sarcomatoid features. * EGFR activating mutations (e.g., EGFR Exon 19 deletions, T790M, Exon 21 L858R, or Exon 20 insertion mutations). * Received prior c-Met-targeted antibodies, prior telisotuzumab vedotin, or prior antibody-drug conjugates either targeting c-Met or consisting of monomethylauristatin E. * Received prior docetaxel therapy. * Metastases to the central nervous system (CNS). Participants with CNS metastases are eligible only after adequate treatment (such as surgery or, radiotherapy, or drug therapy) is provided, as stated on the protocol. * History of other malignancies except those stated in the protocol. * History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan, as noted in the protocol. * Unresolved clinically significant adverse event (AE) \>= Grade 2 from prior anticancer therapy, except for alopecia or anemia. Participants with hormone deficiencies caused by prior anticancer therapy who are asymptomatic and on a stable dose of replacement hormone are eligible for study. * Major surgery within 21 days prior to randomization. * Clinically significant condition(s) including but not limited to those listed in the protocol. * Clinically significant liver disease, including hepatitis, current alcohol abuse, or cirrhosis. * Grade \>= 2 edema or lymphedema. * Grade \>= 2 ascites or pleural effusion. * Grade \>= 2 neuropathy. * Active uncontrolled bacterial or viral infection. * Active corneal disorder.
