EGFR-TKIs plus PD-1 antibody in first-line EGFR-mutant NSCLC

Official title: A Clinical Study Evaluating the Preliminary Antitumor Activity and Safety of EGFR-TKIs Combined With PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody as First-Line Therapy in Patients With EGFR-Mutant Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University · NCT07637448 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether adding a PD-1 antibody to a first-line EGFR-TKI helps people with EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC see longer progression-free survival.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with untreated EGFR-mutant (19del or L858R) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, ECOG 0-1, and adequate organ function, who are eligible for a third-generation EGFR-TKI and planned PD-1 maintenance.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose disease does not achieve stable disease after starting EGFR-TKI therapy or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit from the combination.

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

What this trial studies

This open-label, multicenter, single-arm Phase 2 trial enrolls 32 treatment-naïve adults with EGFR-mutant locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Participants receive a standard-dose third-generation EGFR-TKI as initial therapy, followed by maintenance with a PD-1 monoclonal antibody after achieving stable disease. Primary endpoint is progression-free survival, with secondary endpoints including objective response rate, disease control rate, overall survival, and treatment-emergent adverse events. Exploratory analyses will examine serum lipid profiles and tumor immune microenvironment for correlations with safety and resistance mechanisms. Imaging assessments occur every 6 weeks in the first 24 weeks, then every 9 weeks thereafter.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could extend the time patients live without disease progression and potentially improve overall outcomes for EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in EGFR-mutant NSCLC have explored combinations with PD-1 inhibitors, with mixed results; this trial adds a prospective, unified protocol in first-line settings.

Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed, previously untreated EGFR-mutant (19del/L858R) locally advanced or metastatic (stage IIIB/IIIC or IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to the 9th edition of the TNM staging system for lung cancer jointly issued by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC);
2. Male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years;
3. Patients who are willing to receive third-generation EGFR-TKI targeted therapy, followed by maintenance therapy with a PD-1 antibody during the stable phase of the disease (defined as no further tumor shrinkage for at least two consecutive assessments based on RECIST v1.1 criteria);

8. Presence of uncontrolled concomitant diseases, including but not limited to decompensated cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, uncontrolled metabolic disorders, etc.;
9. History of severe gastrointestinal ulcer, gastrointestinal perforation, fistula or obstruction, intra-abdominal abscess, or acute gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months prior to the first dose, or other gastrointestinal diseases that, in the investigator's opinion, may predispose to bleeding or perforation;

14. Active or history of documented inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or chronic diarrhea), intestinal obstruction, or extensive bowel resection;
15. Diagnosis of Gilbert's syndrome;
16. Severe infection within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, including but not limited to complications requiring hospitalization, sepsis, or severe pneumonia;
17. Known active pulmonary tuberculosis;
18. Known active syphilis infection;
19. Known history of immunodeficiency, or positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody;
20. Presence of active hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection;
21. Known allergy to any component of any study drug, history of severe allergic reactions (e.g., anaphylactic shock), history of severe hypersensitivity to other monoclonal antibodies or recombinant protein-based substances, or history of severe infusion reactions;
22. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study period;
23. Any disease, medical condition, organ system dysfunction, or social circumstance (including but not limited to psychiatric illness, substance/alcohol abuse, history of drug abuse, etc.) that, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with the subject's ability to provide informed consent, adversely affect the subject's cooperation and participation in the study, or confound the interpretation of study results.
