Lung cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer death worldwide. It is projected that the vast majority, approximately 80% -85% of all lung cancer diagnosis is Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Although there are significant improvements in the treatment of Lung Cancer in recent years, there is still an unmet medical need for a specific population which has advanced NSCLC and mostly is refractory to existing treatments. In NSCLC the molecular profile is important to direct the treatment. Specifically, for cases with an EGFR+, ALK+, ROS1+ or PD1/PDL1+ molecular profile, targeted treatments are available. PVT-1 is a safe, orally administrable and well-tolerated drug directed against a specific therapeutic target of cancer cells what has demonstrated efficacy in NSCLC with a molecular profile EGFR-, ALK-, ROS1- and refractory to anti-PD1 / PDL1, in last line, which also represents the highest percentage of patients and with the highest chances of cancer progression with currently available treatments.
