Combining PD-1 and Pyrotinib for Advanced Lung Cancer with HER2 Mutation

the Effectiveness and Safety Study on PD-1 Combined With Pyrotinib for First-line Chemotherapy Failed HER2 Insertion Mutation Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 2 Interventional Hunan Province Tumor Hospital · NCT04144569

This study is testing whether combining two cancer treatments can help people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific genetic mutation and hasn’t improved with previous chemotherapy.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of combining PD-1 inhibitors with Pyrotinib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have a HER2 insertion mutation and have failed first-line chemotherapy. The approach aims to target specific genetic mutations in cancer cells to improve treatment outcomes. Participants will be monitored for measurable lesions to assess the treatment's impact on tumor progression.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with advanced NSCLC who have a confirmed HER2 insertion mutation and have experienced failure with first-line chemotherapy.

Not a fit: Patients without measurable tumor lesions or those who have previously received PD-1 or Pyrotinib will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced NSCLC who have limited treatment choices after chemotherapy failure.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, similar studies combining targeted therapies with immunotherapy have shown promise in other cancer types, suggesting potential for success.
