Official title: Adjuvant Treatment Based on Minimal Residual Disease for Resectable Non-squamous Non-Small-Cell-Lung-Cancer With EGFR Mutations

Run by Guangdong Association of Clinical Trials · NCT05536505 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if a specific cancer treatment can help people with a certain type of lung cancer after surgery, based on whether they have leftover cancer cells in their body.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-80 with completely resected stage IB-IIIB EGFR-mutant non-squamous NSCLC.

Probably not a fit

Patients with non-EGFR mutations or those who have not undergone complete surgical resection may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of postoperative adjuvant therapy using EGFR-TKIs in patients with stage IB-IIIB EGFR-mutant non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on their minimal residual disease (MRD) status. Participants will undergo MRD assessments shortly after surgery and will be categorized into MRD positive or negative groups. Those in the MRD positive group will receive icotinib, with treatment adjustments based on their MRD status, while the MRD negative group will be monitored and treated with osimertinib if their MRD status changes. The primary endpoints focus on disease-free survival rates.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve disease-free survival rates for patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches targeting MRD in cancer treatment, indicating potential for success.
