WSD0922-FU for Lung Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment called WSD0922-FU for individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It targets those whose cancer has worsened after taking Osimertinib, a common first-line treatment, and who have a specific genetic change called the C797S mutation in the EGFR gene. The trial will test two different doses to evaluate their effectiveness and safety. Suitable candidates for this trial include those with advanced lung cancer who can no longer undergo surgery or radiation and have experienced disease progression despite previous treatments. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on assessing the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, offering participants a chance to contribute to significant advancements in lung cancer treatment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot have taken any investigational agents or other anticancer drugs from a previous treatment within 14 days before starting the study.
Is there any evidence suggesting that WSD0922-FU is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that WSD0922-FU has been tested for safety in earlier studies. Ongoing research indicates that most people can take it without serious problems. These initial studies aimed to find the best dose that patients can handle without major side effects.
In these studies, patients took WSD0922-FU orally. Researchers tested different doses to identify the safest one. Some side effects were noted, but they were usually manageable. This suggests that the treatment is reasonably safe for patients with lung cancer.
This background helps build confidence in its safety, but joining the trial remains a personal choice. It's important to discuss any concerns with the trial team.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for lung cancer?
Unlike the standard treatments for lung cancer, which often include chemotherapy, targeted therapies, or immunotherapy, WSD0922-FU offers a new approach by utilizing a novel active ingredient. Researchers are excited about WSD0922-FU because it targets specific molecular pathways that are not addressed by existing treatments, potentially offering a more effective and personalized option. Additionally, its twice-daily (BID) dosing could enhance its effectiveness while maintaining manageable side effects. This innovative mechanism and dosing schedule give hope for improved outcomes for lung cancer patients.
What evidence suggests that WSD0922-FU might be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer?
Research has shown that WSD0922-FU may help treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients whose cancer worsened after initial treatment with osimertinib. In this trial, participants will receive WSD0922-FU at either Dose level A or Dose level B, selected from a Phase I study. Earlier studies indicated that all patients who received the treatment at certain doses experienced benefits, with their cancer either stopping growth or shrinking. Specifically, one study found that every patient who received higher doses had positive results. These early findings suggest that WSD0922-FU could be effective for people with this type of lung cancer, particularly those with the C797S mutation in the EGFR gene.14567

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that worsened after first-line Osimertinib treatment and have a specific mutation (C797S) in their cancer. They must be relatively healthy, not planning to have children, and haven't had certain severe illnesses or unresolved side effects from previous treatments.Inclusion Criteria
