Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

New treatment option for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

Official title EZH2 Inhibitor, Tulmimetostat, and PD-1 Blockade for Treatment of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05467748

What this study is testing

What is Tulmimetostat?

Tulmimetostat is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for non small cell lung cancer.

Also referred to as Pembrolizumab.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is an open label, single arm, phase Ib/II clinical trial of checkpoint blockade, pembrolizumab and EZH2 inhibitor, tulmimetostat combination therapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have progressed from front or second-line treatment. Patients will be enrolled at multiple Veterans Affairs Medical Centers.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
