Study on Zongertinib for Treating Surgically Removed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with HER2 Mutations

Sponsor: Boehringer Ingelheim

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07195695

This clinical trial is testing whether a new medicine, zongertinib, can help people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific HER2 gene mutation live longer without their cancer returning after surgery, compared to standard treatments.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This study is for adults 18 and older who have early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a specific change in the HER2 gene. This change causes a faulty HER2 protein, which can lead to cancer growth. Participants must have had their lung cancer surgically removed and received certain other cancer treatments. The study aims to see if a new medicine, zongertinib, can help prevent the cancer from coming back after surgery, compared to standard treatments. Participants are randomly assigned to take either zongertinib daily for up to 3 years or receive a standard treatment, which could be an immunotherapy infusion or regular check-ups without active treatment. The study lasts up to 11 years, with regular check-ups and tests to monitor health and detect any cancer recurrence.
