Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) with histologically or cytologically confirmed non-squamous NSCLC that is unresectable and locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic, harboring EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations, and no prior systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without the EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutation or those whose disease is not responsive to BEBT-109–based regimens may not experience benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, open-label Phase 2 study evaluating BEBT-109 in combination with injectable pemetrexed disodium and a platinum agent, or BEBT-109 alone, as first-line therapy for NSCLC with EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations. The study uses two cohorts: cohort 1 combines BEBT-109 with chemotherapy (pemetrexed plus carboplatin or cisplatin), with three dosing groups (A: 180 mg once daily; B: 120 mg twice daily; C: 120 mg once daily). Cohort 2 assesses BEBT-109 monotherapy (180 mg daily). Safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy will guide dose expansion and potential adjustments. DLT-driven decisions determine whether to expand cohorts or modify dosing. Enrollment starts with small cohorts to monitor tolerability before broader enrollment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a new first-line option for NSCLC patients harboring EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations, potentially improving response and progression-free outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in EGFR Exon 20 insertion NSCLC have shown signals with targeted approaches, but this combination strategy with BEBT-109 is a relatively novel approach with ongoing assessment of safety and efficacy.
