Study Summary

This trial is testing a combination of two drugs to treat patients with STK11-mutated non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has recurred or is stage IV.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with stage IV or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has an STK11 gene mutation. Participants must not be pregnant, have had certain treatments recently, or have conditions affecting drug absorption. They should not have a history of severe allergies to monoclonal antibodies and must agree to blood specimen submissions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of Talazoparib (a drug blocking enzymes needed for tumor growth) and Avelumab (an immunotherapy antibody). It aims to see if this combo is more effective in treating lung cancers with an STK11 gene mutation compared to current therapies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions related to Avelumab, issues from immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs, fatigue, nausea, and potential complications due to Talazoparib's effect on cellular enzymes.

However, there are currently 5110 other studies that are still enrolling patients with stage iva lung cancer ajcc v8 and 168 studies that involve Talazoparib if you're interested in participating in clinical trials."

Answered by AI

How can interested individuals sign up for this research project?

"This particular trial is not currently looking for more patients, as it has already reached its recruitment goal. The study was first posted on February 14th, 2020 and was last updated on May 3rd, 2022.
