osimertinib plus chemotherapy in uncommon egfrm nsclc

Conditions: Lung Cancer

Summary: this is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, exploratory phase ii study sponsored by astrazeneca investment (china) co., ltd. to evaluate the efficacy and safety of osimertinib with platinum plus pemetrexed chemotherapy, as first-line treatment in recurrent or locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc) patients with uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor mutations (egfrm).

participants successfully enrolled into the study will receive 80mg osimertinib qd p.o. plus standard chemotherapy composed of cisplatin or carboplatin and pemetrexed i.v. on day 1 of a 21 day cycle (every 3 weeks) for 4 to 6 cycles, followed by osimertinib 80 mg qd p.o. plus pemetrexed maintenance i.v. every 3 weeks until recist 1.1-defined radiological progression as judged by the investigator. tumour assessments will be performed as per recistv1.1 criteria, using computed tomography (ct)/magnetic resonance imaging (mri). the baseline assessment is part of the screening procedures and should be performed before the start of study intervention. safety will be assessed in the whole treatment period as well as 28 days after study drug termination for any reason.

symptomatic and unstable brain metastases, except for those participants who have completed definitive therapy, are not on steroids, and have a stable neurological status for at least 2 weeks after completion of the definitive therapy and steroids. participants with asymptomatic brain metastases can be eligible for inclusion if in the opinion of the investigator immediate definitive treatment is not indicated. 2 past medical history of ild, drug-induced ild, radiation pneumonitis that required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active ild. 3 any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolled hypertension and active bleeding diatheses, which in the investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the participant to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol, or active infection including any patients receiving treatment for infection but not limited to hepatitis b, hepatitis c and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). screening for chronic conditions is not required. 4.any of the following cardiac criteria: * mean resting corrected qt interval (qtc) \>470 msec, obtained from 3 electrocardiograms (ecgs), using the screening clinic ecg machine-derived qtcf value;
