Firmonertinib versus standard EGFR drugs as first treatment for advanced NSCLC with EGFR PACC mutations
Official title: A Global, Phase 3, Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Firmonertinib Compared With Investigator's Choice of Osimertinib or Afatinib as First-Line Treatment in Participants Who Have Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor P-Loop and Alpha C-Helix Compressing (PACC) Uncommon Mutations (ALPACCA)
Run by ArriVent BioPharma, Inc. · NCT07185997 · Data updated 2026-11-12

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have a documented EGFR PACC mutation and have not received prior systemic therapy for advanced disease (prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant allowed if treatment-free ≥12 months) are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without EGFR PACC mutations, those previously treated with EGFR-targeted therapy for advanced disease, or those with uncontrolled symptomatic brain metastases or poor organ function are unlikely to benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This global, randomized, multicenter, open-label Phase 3 trial assigns participants 1:1 to oral firmonertinib 240 mg once daily or investigator's choice of osimertinib 80 mg once daily or afatinib 40 mg once daily as first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with documented EGFR PACC mutations. Eligible participants must be treatment-naive for advanced disease, with prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy allowed only if a treatment-free interval of at least 12 months has passed. Asymptomatic CNS metastases are permitted and patients are followed for efficacy and safety endpoints including tumor response and progression-free survival. Local testing of tumor tissue or blood is used to confirm EGFR PACC mutation status and the open-label design means both patients and investigators know the assigned treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, firmonertinib could provide better tumor control or longer progression-free survival than current EGFR inhibitor options for patients with EGFR PACC mutations.
How similar studies have gone: Some EGFR TKIs like osimertinib and afatinib have shown activity against certain uncommon EGFR mutations, but randomized phase 3 data specific to PACC mutations are limited and firmonertinib is a novel agent in this subgroup.
