Recruiting PHASE1 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

New treatment option for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Official title A Study of Tepotinib and Ivonescimab in People With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07619339

What this study is testing

What is Tepotinib?

Tepotinib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, 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 researchers are doing this study to find out whether the combination of tepotinib and ivonescimab is a safe and effective treatment for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is positive for METex14 skipping. The researchers will test up to two different doses of tepotinib in combination with ivonescimab to find the best dose of tepotinib that causes few or mild side effects in participants.
