Targeted Induction Therapy for Stage III Unresectable EGFR Mutant NSCLC

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This phase 2 interventional study enrolls adults with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer carrying EGFR mutations. Participants will receive fumetinib in combination with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, along with concurrent radiochemotherapy. The trial aims to assess whether this induction strategy can increase tumor response and enable subsequent surgical resection, while monitoring safety and tolerability. Eligibility requires confirmed EGFR mutation, lack of distant metastasis, adequate organ function, good performance status, and the potential to undergo radical surgery if feasible. The study is conducted at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital under lead sponsor Peng Zhang.
