About this study

Official title: High-dose Furmonertinib Versus Osimertinib as First-line Treatment in Advanced EGFR Mutation-positive NSCLC Patients With Brain Metastases: a Multi-center, Randomized, Controlled, Prospective, Phase II Clinical Trial

The investigators were to explore whether high-dose Furmonertinib, compared with osimertinib, could achieve longer survival in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC with CNS metastasis.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer incidence and death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 80-85%, and EGFR mutations occur in about 45-55% of the Asian population. In newly diagnosed NSCLC patients, the rate of brain metastases in advanced NSCLC can be as high as 25% to 44%. The brain metastasis rate of advanced lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutation can reach 60%. For NSCLC patients with CNS metastases and EGFR mutations, the PFS of EGFR-TKIs was improved compared with chemotherapy, but neither was satisfactory, even with Osimertinib (third-generation EGFR-TKI). The PFS of patients with CNS metastases treated with Osimertinib was only 15.23 months. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer patients with brain metastases is still a difficult problem to improve the long-term survival rate of lung cancer. Clinical data and early preclinical studies have shown that Furmonertinib(AST2818) can effectively inhibit the classical mutation of EGFR, especially for intracranial lesions, and is well tolerated. In the FURLONG study, the PFS of patients with CNS metastases was 20.8 months and the ORR were 91%, respectively. This may be due to the unique molecular structure of Furmonertinib, which has the advantage of "double entry into the brain". Furthermore, the investigators' previous research showed that patients treated with 160mg of Furmonertinib after third-generation EGFR-TKIs treatment resistance were divided into intracranial progression mode group and extracranial progression mode group, and finally proven that Furmonertinib 160mg with or without antiangiogenic agents could be an option for patients with advanced NSCLC who have developed resistance after third-generation EGFR-TKIs, especially those who have developed resistance due to intracranial lesion progression. Based on above, the investigators propose to develop a multi-center, randomized, controlled, prospective, Phase II clinical trial in order to explore whether high-dose Furmonertinib could achieve longer survival in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC with CNS metastasis, particularly long-term control of intracranial lesions.

A Phase 2 study testing Furmonertinib and Osimertinib in people with Lung Cancer, Nonsmall Cell, run by Taizhou Hospital.

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 19 inclusion and 32 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 20 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Dongqing Lyu, MD (13867622009, lvdq@enzemed.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

progression free survival(PFS) (time frame: 5 years from first patient randomized.). 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 NCT06319950.

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 20 Mar 2024.
