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 |
|
After administering 3rd generation EGFR-TKIs, SBRT will be given until regression or intolerance. |
ALK Inhibitors |
|
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. |
