About This Trial

This study will evaluate whether the combination of sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and bevacizumab will result in shrinkage of brain metastases from patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with disease progression on chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against NSCLC Stage IV and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 25 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria: 1. Signed willing to sign a consent form must be obtained prior to participation in the study. 2. Participant is an adult ≥ 18 years of age at the time of willing to sign a consent form. 3. ECOG performance status ≤1. 4. Estimated life expectancy of 12 weeks or more. 5. Pathology proven metastatic non-squamous NSCLC 6. For those without an actionable oncogenic driver: progression on immunotherapy and/or platinum-doublet chemotherapy (concurrent or sequential, in any order).

Maximum BM size 2 cm in longest diameter (for each BM). 10. At least one untreated brain metastasis ≥ 5mm: 1. Patients with largest measurable intracranial lesion ≥5 mm but \<10 mm may be allowed to enroll upon agreement with the principal investigator (for patients with target lesions of ≥ 5mm but \<10 mm, 1.5 mm slice thickness brain MRI is required). 2. Prior local treatment is permissible provided unequivocal progression in the lesion has since occurred (discussed in neuro-oncology MDT) or if new lesions have occurred. 3. For at least 7 days prior to first dose of SG and bevacizumab in this study: Patient must be asymptomatic from cancer that has spread to the brain and on a stable dose of corticosteroids, with a maximum of 4 mg dexamethasone/day.
