Recruiting PHASE1 Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma

New treatment option for Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma

Official title Gilteritinib for the Treatment of ALK NSCLC

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06225427

What this study is testing

What is Gilteritinib?

Gilteritinib is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for lung non-small cell carcinoma.

Also referred to as ASP-2215, ASP2215.

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 phase I trial is studying the safety, side effects, and best dose of gilteritinib in treating patients with stage IV ALK positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed on other treatments. While there are many approved targeted drugs for ALK NSCLC, resistance to these drugs frequently occur.
