Recruiting PHASE2 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

New treatment option for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Official title A Study of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in People With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07428044

What this study is testing

What is Trastuzumab Deruxtecan?

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.

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
The purpose of this study is to find out how many people with HER2-amplified or HER2-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) experience a decrease in tumor viability when they receive trastuzumab deruxtecan before routine surgery to remove tumors.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
