Study on ZEN003694 for Treating Squamous Cell Lung Cancer
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05607108
This clinical trial is testing a new drug called ZEN003694 to see if it can effectively treat advanced squamous cell lung cancer in patients with a specific gene mutation. The drug works by blocking certain proteins that may help slow or stop cancer growth.

Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to find out if ZEN003694 is an effective treatment for people with advanced squamous cell lung cancer that has a mutation in the NSD3 gene. ZEN003694 is a type of drug known as a BET inhibitor. Researchers believe it may help because it blocks proteins called BET proteins, which might counteract the effects of NSD3 on tumor growth. By blocking these proteins, the drug may slow or stop the cancer from growing.
