Summary

This trial is testing a targeted therapy against lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and specific EGFR mutations can join this trial. They must have good organ function, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, use contraception, and agree to biopsies. Excluded are those who've had certain cancer treatments or uncontrolled brain metastases.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Osimertinib (Tagrisso), a targeted therapy for NSCLC with an EGFR mutation. Participants will take the drug and may have started treatment within three months before joining the study if they meet all criteria.
What are the potential side effects?
