Phase 3 Study of Taletrectinib vs Placebo as an Additional Treatment in ROS1 Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Sponsor: Nuvation Bio Inc.
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07154706
This clinical trial is testing whether the drug taletrectinib can help prevent the return of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients with a specific genetic marker (ROS1 positive) after their tumor has been surgically removed. The study compares taletrectinib to a placebo (a sugar pill) to see which is more effective.

Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to find out if taletrectinib, a study drug, is better than a placebo at stopping early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from coming back after surgery. This study involves patients with a specific type of NSCLC that is ROS1 positive and at stages IB, II, or IIIA. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either taletrectinib or a placebo to see which treatment is more effective in preventing cancer recurrence.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Diagnosed with stage IB, II, or IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on specific medical criteria.
- Have a confirmed ROS1 genetic marker in the primary tumor.
- Provide a tumor sample for further testing.
- Be 18 years or older (or 20 years or older if required by local regulations).
- Be in good overall health with an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, meaning fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory.
- Have had surgery to remove the lung tumor, with no remaining cancer at the edges of the removed tissue.
- Fully recovered from surgery, which must have been done at least 4 weeks but no more than 16 weeks ago if no additional chemotherapy was given, or at least 4 weeks but no more than 30 weeks ago if chemotherapy was given.
- If chemotherapy was given after surgery, the last dose must have been at least 7 days before starting the study, and any side effects must have resolved to baseline or mild levels.
Exclusion Criteria
- Have received certain cancer treatments before, such as radiation therapy after surgery or more than 4 cycles of standard chemotherapy.
- Have received any other additional cancer treatments for NSCLC, except for a limited amount of immune therapy.
- Have had major surgery within 4 weeks before starting the study.
- Have had only limited surgery for the lung tumor, unless specific conditions are met.
- Have received experimental treatments for other conditions within 6 months before starting the study.
- Have other specific genetic mutations in the cancer.
- Have had other cancers, unless they were treated and have not returned for over 3 years.
- Have significant heart disease or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
- Have ongoing heart rhythm problems or are taking medications that affect heart rhythm.
- Have active infections, including hepatitis or HIV.
- Have a history of lung diseases that required steroid treatment.
- Are using certain medications that affect how the body processes drugs within 14 days before starting the study.
