Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, onalespib, to see if it can help treat lung cancer that has returned or spread. Onalespib works by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has certain EGFR mutations. They must have adequate organ function, not be on certain medications, and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with uncontrolled illnesses, specific heart conditions, a history of severe drug reactions, or who are pregnant.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the combination of Erlotinib Hydrochloride and Onalespib Lactate to see if they can stop tumor growth by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. It includes lab biomarker analysis and pharmacological studies to determine the best dose and effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include issues related to liver function, blood clotting problems, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or diarrhea, skin rash due to erlotinib hydrochloride and possible visual disturbances.
