Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have specific EGFR mutations and meet the study's inclusion criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have not been diagnosed with EGFR mutations or those who have received prior systemic therapies for advanced disease may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2 clinical study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of ABSK043 combined with Firmonertinib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The study is divided into two parts: a dose escalation phase to determine the optimal dosage and a dose expansion phase to assess the treatment's efficacy as a first-line therapy. Participants will be closely monitored for safety throughout the trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with advanced lung cancer harboring EGFR mutations.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar combination therapies targeting EGFR mutations, indicating potential for success in this approach.

6. Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease
7. Has a known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection that is not well controlled.
8. Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled diseases or other factors which in the Investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the patients to participate in the study.
