Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of Combining APL-101 with Osimertinib for Patients with EGFR-mutated Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04743505
This clinical trial is testing a new treatment that combines APL-101 with the standard drug osimertinib to see if it is safe and effective for patients with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread. The study will determine the best dose of APL-101 to use with osimertinib.

Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combining a new drug, APL-101, with osimertinib in patients who have metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an EGFR mutation. Participants must have been on osimertinib for 8 to 12 weeks without their cancer getting worse. The study will gradually increase the dose of APL-101 to find the highest dose that patients can tolerate. Once this dose is found, 10 more patients will be treated at this level to further assess its safety and effectiveness.
