Beamion LUNG-3: A Study to Test Whether Zongertinib Helps People With Surgically Removed, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With HER2 Mutations Compared With Standard Treatment
What this study is about
This study is open to adults 18 years and older who have early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Their cancer must have a specific change in a gene called HER2. Genes provide the instructions for making proteins, and this change leads to a faulty HER2 protein. People can join if their lung cancer was removed by surgery, and they have already received certain other anti-cancer treatments.

Inclusion criteria
- Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial 2. Patients must be ≥18 years old or over the legal age of consent in their country 3. Male or female patients. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be ready and able to use dual highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information and in the study protocol 4. HER2 mutation: Documented Tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) activating Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutations 5. Histology and tumor sample: Histologically confirmed diagnosis of primary NSCLC 6. An archival tumor tissue sample must be submitted to the central laboratory after inclusion of the patient to retrospectively confirm the HER2 status 7. Staging: Pretherapeutic c

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.
