Combining Pembrolizumab, Bevacizumab, and Chemotherapy for Advanced Lung Cancer with ALK Mutation
Official title: Bevacizumab and Chemotherapy With or Without Pembrolizumab in First Line Alectinib Failed ALK-rearranged Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients With Persistent 5'ALK: A Phase II Randmized Control Trial
Run by Hunan Province Tumor Hospital · NCT05266846 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new combination of two drugs and chemotherapy to see if it helps people with advanced lung cancer that has an ALK mutation and hasn't improved with another treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with Stage IV ALK-rearranged lung adenocarcinoma that has persisted after treatment with Alectinib.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active central nervous system metastases or other malignancies within the past five years 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 II clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of Pembrolizumab and Bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy for patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma that has an ALK gene mutation and has not responded to Alectinib. The study involves administering Pembrolizumab and Bevacizumab along with chemotherapy agents Pemetrexed and Carboplatin over multiple cycles. Patients will be monitored for progression-free survival and overall response to the treatment. The trial aims to gather data on the effectiveness of this combination therapy in a specific patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with ALK-rearranged lung cancer who have failed prior therapies.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in this specific context, similar combinations of immunotherapy and chemotherapy have shown promise in other studies.
