Brief summary
This Phase III study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of YH25448 as first-line treatment in locally advanced or metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR mutations
Detailed description
YH25448 is an oral, highly potent, mutant-selective and irreversible EGFR Tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that targets both the T790M mutation and activating EGFR mutations while sparing wild type EGFR. This is a Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind study evaluating the efficacy and safety of YH25448 (240 mg orally, once daily) versus Gefitinib (250 mg orally, once daily) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC that is known to be EGFR sensitizing mutation (EGFRm) positive, treatment-naïve and eligible for first-line treatment with an EGFR-TKI.
Interventions
The initial dose of lazertinib 240 mg (3 tablets of 80 mg lazertinib) once daily can be reduced to 160 mg once daily (2 tablets of 80 mg lazertinib) under specific circumstances
The initial dose for Gefitinib (250 mg once daily) cannot be reduced to a lower dose
The initial dose of lazertinib-matching placebo 240 mg (3 tablets of 80 mg lazertinib-matching placebo) once daily can be reduced to 160 mg once daily (2 tablets of 80 mg lazertinib-matching placebo) under specific circumstances
The initial dose for Gefitinib-matching placebo (250 mg once daily) cannot be reduced to a lower dose

Intervention model description
Approximately 380 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either lazertinib (n=190) or gefitinib (n= 190). Following objective disease progression according to RECIST v1.1, as per investigator assessment, patients who were randomized to gefitinib arm may have the option to receive open-label lazertinib
