About This Trial

This research study aims to explore the combination of two targeted drugs as first-line treatment for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with uncommon EGFR mutation.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Metastatic 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 23 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.
