NCT ID NCT03924050

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial is testing whether adding the immunotherapy drug toripalimab to standard chemotherapy can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have a specific EGFR mutation and have stopped responding to TKI targeted therapy. About 440 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either toripalimab plus chemotherapy or a placebo plus chemotherapy. The study aims to see if the combination improves overall survival and other outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
toripalimab (an immunotherapy drug) combined with standard chemotherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with EGFR-mutated lung cancer whose tumors have stopped responding to TKI therapy, potentially extending survival.
What could go wrong
This is a phase III trial, but results are not yet known. The drug may not improve outcomes for all participants, and immunotherapy can cause immune-related side effects.
