Experimental combo targets Hard-to-Treat lung cancer
NCT ID NCT05882734
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug, Tuvusertib, combined with an immunotherapy called Cemiplimab in people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (non-squamous non-small cell) that has worsened after prior treatments. The trial aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors and how safe it is. About 61 participants will receive the drugs until their disease progresses or side effects become too severe.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tuvusertib (M1774) and Cemiplimab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with a type of lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 61 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination may cause significant side effects or fail to improve outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants who are diagnosed with nsqNSCLC histologically or cytologically confirmed * Participants with Radiologically confirmed/documented disease progression during or after the following systemic therapies (all required): * At most, 1 line of anti-PD-(L)1 therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease. Rechallenge with the same anti-PD-(L)1 for disease considered sensitive to anti-PD-(L)1 therapy (e.g. after a treatment break) is considered 1 line * Platinum-based therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease, given in combination or sequentially with anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. Participants who received adjuvant platinum-based therapy meet this criterion if disease progression occurred within 6 months from the last dose that the participant received that therapy. No additional cytotoxic therapies after progression on platinum-based therapy are allowed * Prior best overall response of stable disease or better with anti-PD-(L)1 therapy * Disease progression must have occurred while the participant has been receiving anti-PD-(L)1 therapy or within 16 weeks of the last dose of anti-PD-(L)1 therapy * Participants with Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 * Participants with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS 0 or 1 * Adequate hematological, hepatic, and renal function as defined in the protocol. * Phase 2a part only: central liquid biopsy analysis of tumor molecular alterations with an assay with appropriate regulatory status * Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with tumors harboring actionable epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) genomic aberrations. Participants with tumors with other actionable aberrations are eligible and allowed to have received up to 1 line of available targeted therapy * Participants with history of additional malignancy within 3 years before the date of enrollment. Exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or malignancy that in the opinion of the Investigator, with concurrence of the Sponsor's Medical Monitor, is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence within 3 years * Participants with known brain metastases, unless clinically stable * Participant with history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis that required systemic corticosteroids or current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease * Other protocol defined exclusion criteria could apply
