Summary

This trial will study the effects of a new cancer drug combination on lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have an EGFR mutation and MET amplification. They must have only received osimertinib previously, shown resistance to it, and be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1). Patients with a history of certain lung diseases, uncontrolled hypertension, brain metastasis requiring steroids, or inadequate organ function cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of two drugs: Tepotinib (a MET inhibitor) and Osimertinib (an EGFR inhibitor), in patients whose NSCLC has worsened after treatment with Osimertinib alone. It aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of this drug combo.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues affecting lungs like interstitial lung disease, problems related to liver and kidney function, heart complications, high blood pressure not controlled by medication, as well as general chemotherapy-related side effects.
