About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if first-line Almonertinib plus upfront stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) works to treat EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does first-line Almonertinib plus upfront stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy to residual primary lung lesions prolong the progression-free survival of EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Participants will:
Take first-line Almonertinib for 2-4 months, then deliver SABR to residual primary lung lesions, after that go on Almonertinib maintenance treatment; Visit the hospital once every 3 months for checkups and tests; Keep a diary of their symptoms ;
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Aged 18 years or older (including 18 years) and less than 75 years (including 75 years).
Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable NSCLC and stage IIIB-IV tumours (as determined by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Manual of Thoracic Tumour Staging, 8th edition). Oligometastatic lesions (≤5) in the brain on head-enhanced MRI were eligible for enrolment, and at least 1 lesion in the brain could be accurately measured at baseline, with the longest diameter at baseline ≥5 mm. Measurements were made by MRI (layer thickness 1.5 mm).
Have not received any systemic therapy after diagnosis of NSCLC or have not progressed with 1-2 cycles of chemotherapy.
Tumour tissue samples or blood samples diagnosed with NSCLC are tested and confirmed to have an EGFR-sensitive mutation (including exon 19 deletion or L858R, either alone or coexisting with mutations in other EGFR loci). Tumour tissue is recommended if the tumour tissue is accessible; if the tumour tissue is inaccessible or the patient is not amenable to tissue biopsy, blood samples will be sent to test EGFR mutation.
Disqualifiers
Patients with postoperative recurrence.
prior use of any EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI);
prior radiotherapy for any lung cancer;
patient has undergone major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug;
