Osimertinib Alone or With Chemotherapy for EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancers

What this study is about

This study will compare the effectiveness of osimertinib alone with the combination of osimertinib and chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in people with metastatic lung cancer that has a change (mutation) in the gene EGFR. Osimertinib alone is the usual treatment for metastatic EGFR-mutant lung cancer.

View original scientific description

This study will compare the effectiveness of osimertinib alone with the combination of osimertinib and chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in people with metastatic lung cancer that has a change (mutation) in the gene EGFR. Osimertinib alone is the usual treatment for metastatic EGFR-mutant lung cancer. Researchers think adding chemotherapy to osimertinib could possibly add to the anticancer effects of the usual treatment and help stop cancer from growing or spreading.

Interventions

DRUG

Osimertinib

80mg orally daily

DRUG

Carboplatin

Carboplatin (AUC 5 IV q 3 weeks)

DRUG

Pemetrexed

Pemetrexed (500mg/m2 IV q 3 weeks) for a total of 4 cycles

Primary outcome measures

Determine the progression-free survival

Time frame: 2 years

As the primary endpoint for the treatment comparison, it is the duration of time from randomization to the time of disease progression (in the CNS or systemically) or death. In addition, as a secondary endpoint, PFS is measured from the start of treatment to disease progression or death. Intracranial progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from time of randomization to time of progression (in the CNS) or death, whichever occurs first. Overall survival (OS) is defined as the duration of time from first treatment to time of death.

  • Where liver signs and symptoms of viral reactivation appear (HBV DNA levels exceeding 10-fold from baseline or ≥100 IU/ml (if baseline HBV DNA levels are undetectable) or conversion of HBsAg negative to positive):
  • Expert hepatologist/specialist oversight of the patient is required
  • Consider interruption or discontinuation of study treatment, based on riskbenefit assessment

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
