Authorised Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC

Beamion 44: A study to test how well zongertinib is tolerated by people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with HER2 mutations when given in combination with chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab

EU CTIS ID: 2025-523567-38-00

What this study is testing

The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of zongertinib together with combination partners by assessing the occurrence of discontinuation and/or prolonged interruption of zongertinib due to treatment-related AEs in the first 2 cycles of treatment.
