Run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute · NCT07622706 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether taking firmonertinib before and around surgery helps patients with resectable EGFR-mutated NSCLC see more tumor shrinkage before the operation.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with resectable stage II–IIIB EGFR-mutated NSCLC (EGFR 19Del or L858R, with or without T790M) eligible for radical resection and with measurable disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without significant tumor shrinkage or those who cannot proceed to surgery after neoadjuvant therapy may not 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 an open-label, single-arm Phase 2 trial evaluating neoadjuvant firmonertinib in adults with resectable stage II–IIIB EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. Participants receive escalating doses of firmonertinib (80 mg daily for 8 weeks, 160 mg daily for 8 weeks, then 80 mg daily for 16 weeks) followed by radical resection and potential adjuvant therapy. The primary goal is to assess major pathologic response after neoadjuvant treatment as a measure of efficacy. Eligibility includes confirmed EGFR mutation, measurable disease, good performance status, and tumor characteristics suitable for surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could increase tumor response before surgery and potentially improve long-term outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Neoadjuvant EGFR inhibitors have shown encouraging pathologic responses in some EGFR-mutated NSCLC studies, but results vary by agent and regimen.

Female patients should take adequate and effective contraception, must not breastfeed, and have a negative pregnancy test before the first administration of the study drug; or female patients must meet the following criteria at screening to demonstrate infertility: (1) Postmenopausal, defined as older than 50 years of age and having no menstruation for at least 12 months after stopping all exogenous hormone therapy. (2) For women under 50 years old, if there is no menstruation for 12 months or longer after stopping exogenous hormone therapy, and luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels are in the postmenopausal range, they are considered postmenopausal. (3) Documented irreversible sterilization surgery, including hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy, excluding tubal ligation. * 9\. Male patients should be willing to use barrier contraception, i.e., condoms. Exclusion Criteria: * 1.Tumors with squamous cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma, or neuroendocrine components such as small cell carcinoma. * 2.Presence of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation detected by genetic testing. * 3.Prior exposure to other antitumor therapies before enrollment. * 4.Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug (including surgery for the primary tumor, excluding procedures for vascular access). * 5.Scheduled or planned medical procedures (e.g., endoscopy or biopsy) or surgical operations within the next 4 months. * 6.The patient is pregnant or breastfeeding. * 7.Use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors within 7 days, or strong CYP3A4 inducers within 21 days prior to the first dose of study drug; use of traditional Chinese medicines or herbal preparations indicated for antitumor treatment, those with tumor adjuvant effects, or any other agents with known antitumor activity within 14 days prior to the first dose. * 8.History of other malignancies or concurrent malignancies, except for those that have been definitively treated with curative intent and with no evidence of recurrence for at least 5 years (e.g., carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, or papillary thyroid carcinoma). * 9.Patients with severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases requiring treatment, deemed unsuitable for participation by the investigator. These include but are not limited to: uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, chronic heart failure (NYHA class III-IV), unstable angina, myocardial infarction within the past year, active bleeding disorders; hepatitis B (including all HBsAg-positive patients), hepatitis C (HCV antibody positive), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; as well as patients with active infections requiring intravenous treatment. * 10.Patients with severe gastrointestinal dysfunction or clinical conditions that may affect the intake, transport, or absorption of the study drug, such as inability to take oral medication, uncontrolled nausea and vomiting, or a history of extensive gastrointestinal resection. * 11\. Meets any of the following cardiac assessment criteria: (1) Resting ECG corrected QT interval (QTc) \>470 msec, with QTc corrected using the Fridericia formula (if the initial ECG shows QTc \>470 ms, repeat the ECG twice and take the average of the three QTc results). (2) Any clinically significant abnormalities in heart rhythm, conduction, or morphology on resting ECG, such as complete left bundle branch block, second-degree or third-degree atrioventricular block, etc. (3) Any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or arrhythmia events, such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome, sudden unexplained death in first-degree relatives under 40 years old, or taking any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval that cannot be discontinued. * 12\. History of interstitial lung disease (ILD), drug-induced interstitial lung disease, radiation pneumonitis requiring glucocorticoid treatment, or patients with clinical manifestations suspected to be interstitial lung disease. * 13\. Any of the following laboratory test results indicating insufficient bone marrow or organ reserve function: (1) Absolute neutrophil count \<1.5×10\^9/L; (2) Platelet count \<100×10\^9/L; (3) Hemoglobin \<90 g/L; (4) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>2.5× upper limit of normal (ULN); (5) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>2.5×ULN; (6) Total bilirubin \>1.5×ULN or, in the case of Gilbert's syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia), \>3×ULN; (7) Creatinine clearance \<50 mL/min (calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula); (8) Prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) \>=1.5 times ULN; * 14\.
