What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Befotertinib + Icotinib placeboDrug

    The initial dose of Befotertinib is 75 mg orally once daily (QD) for 21 days, and then increased to 100 mg orally QD in the absence of serious side effects , CTCAE grade ≥ 2 headache or thrombocytopenia during the 21 days.

    Befotertinib can be taken on an empty stomach or after meals, and the medication is used until the disease relapses or intolerable toxicity occurs, or the treatment lasts for 3 years (disease recurrence includes local recurrence and/or distant metastasis)

    Icotinib placebo 125 mg three times daily, on an empty stomach or in combination with food, use medication until the disease relapses or intolerable toxicity occurs or treatment lasts for 2 years (disease recurrence includes local recurrence and/or distant metastasis).

  • Icotinib + Befotertinib placeboDrug

    Icotinib 125 mg three times daily, on an empty stomach or in combination with food, use medication until the disease relapses or intolerable toxicity occurs or treatment lasts for 2 years (disease recurrence includes local recurrence and/or distant metastasis).

    The initial dose of Befotertinib placebo is 75 mg orally once daily (QD) for 21 days, and then increased to 100 mg orally QD in the absence of serious side effects , CTCAE grade ≥ 2 headache or thrombocytopenia during the 21 days.

    Befotertinib placebo can be taken on an empty stomach or after meals, and the medication is used until the disease relapses or intolerable toxicity occurs, or the treatment lasts for 3 years (disease recurrence includes local recurrence and/or distant metastasis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and EGFR Sensitive Mutation, run by Betta Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. at 3 sites 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 10 inclusion and 28 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Shun Lu, M.D. (+86 21 2220 0000, shunlu@sjtu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease free survival (DFS) evaluated by investigator in patients with stage II-IIIB (T3N2M0) (time frame: up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Sep 2023.
