Defactinib, Avutometinib and Nivolumab for the Treatment of Anti-PD1 Refractory LKB1-Mutant Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
NCT06495125 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This phase II trial tests how well defactinib and avutometinib in combination with nivolumab works in treating patients with LKB1-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded (refractory) to an anti-PD1 treatment and may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Defactinib and avutometinib belong to a class of drugs called kinase inhibitors. These drugs target kinase proteins found in tumor cells. Tumor cells need these proteins to survive and grow. By blocking these proteins, defactinib and avutometinib may cause tumors to stop growing or grow more slowly. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving defactinib and avutometinib in combination with nivolumab may kill more tumor cells in patients with anti-PD1 refractory LKB1-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06495125
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06495125 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Emory University, which has 1,434 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8 appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Biospecimen Collection is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06495125 reports 3 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Georgia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
