  • Meeting any of the following cardiac function or disease criteria:
  • Mean corrected QT interval (QTc) > 470 ms based on three routine ECG assessments performed at least 5 minutes apart (preferably completed within 1 hour) during the screening period at rest.

To explore the efficacy and safety of vebreltinib plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy as first-line therapy in patients with driver gene-negative, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with MET overexpression.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm Phase II clinical study designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of vebreltinib combined with platinum-based chemotherapy in treatment-naïve patients with driver gene-negative, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with MET overexpression.In this study, all eligible participants will provide written informed consent, and after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria during screening, will receive vebreltinib (150 mg orally Bid) plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy. Oral vebreltinib (150 mg Bid) will be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Vebreltinib and Chemotherapy in people with Lung Neoplasms, run by Shanghai Chest Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 25 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wei Nie (021-63846590, niewei-1001@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: up to 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07549061, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Apr 2026.
