Official title
A Prospective Cohort Observational Study of Local Therapy for the Primary Tumor in EGFR-Mutant Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Following Osimertinib Plus Chemotherapy (FLAURA2 Regimen)
Overview
This is a single-arm, open-label, phase II study evaluating the clinical outcomes of local therapy (surgery or radiotherapy) to the primary tumor in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have achieved disease control following first-line treatment with the FLAURA2 regimen (osimertinib plus platinum-based chemotherapy). The primary objective is to assess the median progression-free survival (PFS) after local therapy.
Detailed description
This prospective, single-arm, multicenter observational study is designed to estimate the median progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who receive salvage local treatment after achieving disease control with first-line osimertinib plus chemotherapy. A total of 70 patients will be enrolled. The primary endpoint is median PFS, and the sample size was calculated to ensure that the 95% confidence interval around the estimated median has a width of no more than ±3 months, using Greenwood's approximation. Patients will be followed for a minimum of 24 months after the last enrollment, with an overall study duration of up to 72 months.
Interventions
- Other Local Therapy (Surgery or Radiotherapy)
Patients will receive local therapy, either surgical resection or radiotherapy, to the primary lung tumor following disease control after first-line treatment with osimertinib plus platinum-based chemotherapy (FLAURA2 regimen). The specific modality (surgery or radiotherapy) will be determined based on tumor characteristics, patient condition, and multidisciplinary team assessment.
Primary outcome measures
- Median progression-free survival (PFS) [Time frame: Up to 60 months (through June 30, 2030; patients followed for ≥24 months after last enrollment)]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Overall survival (OS) [Time frame: Up to 72 months (through June 30, 2031)]
- Local Control Rate [Time frame: Up to 60 months (through June 30, 2030)]
- Adverse events (AEs) [Time frame: Up to 60 months (through June 30, 2030)]
Eligibility criteria
<Inclusion Criteria>
Participants must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible:
- Age ≥ 20 years at the time of consent.
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- Presence of activating EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletion or L858R).
- Stage IV (metastatic) NSCLC at initial diagnosis.
- Completion of four cycles of first-line osimertinib plus platinum-based chemotherapy (FLAURA2 regimen).
- Radiologic evidence of disease control (complete response, partial response, or stable disease) after systemic therapy.
- Residual primary lung tumor suitable for local therapy (surgery or radiotherapy), as determined by multidisciplinary evaluation.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
- Adequate organ function based on institutional laboratory criteria.
- Ability to understand and willingness to provide written informed consent.
<Exclusion Criteria>
Participants will be excluded if they meet any of the following criteria:
- Radiologic or clinical evidence of progressive disease during first-line osimertinib-chemotherapy.
- Extensive, unresectable metastatic disease not amenable to local therapy.
- Untreated or clinically unstable brain metastases.
- Known contraindications to surgery or radiotherapy.
- Active second malignancy requiring concurrent treatment.
- Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with study participation or interpretation of results.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding at the time of enrollment.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
