Current clinical trials for each drug class.

Drug Class Clinical Trials Description
ICI Ramucirumab and Atezolizumab After Progression on Any Immune Checkpoint Blocker in NSCLC (RamAtezo-1) [127] Assessing for a therapeutic advantage to administering ICI and VEGEF inhibitor to patients previously receiving immunotherapy.
EGFR Inhibitors
  • An Open-label, Single-Arm, Phase II Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Patients With Residual Oligometastases of NSCLC After 3rd Generation EGFR-TKIs [128]

After administering 3rd generation EGFR-TKIs, SBRT will be given until regression or intolerance.
ALK Inhibitors
  • Activity of Lorlatinib Based on ALK Resistance Mutations on Blood in ALK Positive NSCLC Patients Previously Treated With 2nd Generation ALK Inhibitor [129]

Identifying alterations in the ALK gene that may confer benefit from ALK inhibitor therapy.
MET Inhibitors Assessment of Anti-tumor and Safety in Glumetinib in Patients With c-MET-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer [130] Local or metastatic NSCLC patients with a METex14 mutation, not undergoing chemotherapy.
RET Inhibitors A Phase I Study of Oral LOXO-260 in Patients With RET Fusion-Positive Solid Tumors, Medullary Thyroid Cancer, and other Tumors with RET Activation Refractory to Selective RET Inhibitors [131] Testing of a next-generation RET inhibitor, which has exhibited in vitro effect against RET-positive tumors with acquired resistance mutations.
Bispecific Antibodies AK112 Neoadjuvant/Adjuvant Treatment for Resectable NSCLC [132]



AK104 Monotherapy as Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Therapy for Resectable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer [133]


Investigating the effect of an anti-PD1 and VEGF bispecific antibody in combination with platin and paclitaxel chemotherapy.

AK104 is a tetravalent bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4; this study aims to evaluate its efficacy and safety profile.
CAR T Cells Study of CXCR5 Modified EGFR Targeted CAR-T Cells for Advanced NSCLC [134] Early Phase I study investigating the pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor effect of a novel CAR T cell.
