New Clinical Trial: Study of Furmonertinib in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Activating, Including Uncommon, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) or Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) Mutations (NCT05364073)

Researchers are testing a new drug called furmonertinib in patients with advanced lung cancer that has specific genetic mutations. This is an early-stage study (Phase 1) with 160 patients to see if the drug is safe and how well it works. The drug targets uncommon mutations in EGFR and HER2 genes that some lung cancer patients have.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial addresses treatment options for patients with advanced NSCLC carrying uncommon EGFR or HER2 mutations, which typically have fewer targeted therapy options than common mutations.
