Summary

This trial is studying how well the combination of these two drugs works in treating patients with NSCLC that has an EGFR mutation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have specific EGFR mutations and are new to treatment. They must be in good physical condition, not pregnant or breastfeeding, willing to use contraception, and have no history of severe allergic reactions to similar drugs. Prior cancer treatments should not include EGFR-targeted therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic disease.
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of Osimertinib (Tagrisso) and Selumetinib as potential treatments for NSCLC with an EGFR mutation. It aims to see how well these two targeted therapies work together compared to current standard care.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include heart issues, uncontrolled bleeding, infections like hepatitis B/C or HIV, lung problems such as interstitial lung disease, nausea/vomiting, difficulty swallowing/absorbing oral meds due to gastrointestinal conditions.
