Brief summary

In this single-arm, phase II clinical trial, patients with resectable, EGFR-mutated, stage II-IIIB NSCLC received neoadjuvant therapy with furmonertinib (oral, 80 mg once daily, stopped 1 week preoperatively) in combination with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy every 3 weeks for a total of 3 cycles. Surgery was performed 4-6 weeks after chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, major pathological response (MPR) rate, TNM downstaging rate, R0 resection rate, EFS, overall survival (OS), drug safety and surgical complications.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective response rate7 days before surgerythe proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by investigators according to RECIST version 1.1

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Major pathological response rate7 days after surgeryMPR was defined as the presence of ≤10% residual viable tumor cells in the primary tumor and all lymph nodes from surgical specimens following R0 resection, and the MPR rate was subsequently calculated as the proportion of patients who achieved MPR
Pathological complete response rate7 days after surgerypCR was defined as the absence of viable tumor cells in the primary tumor and all sampled regional lymph nodes from surgical specimens following R0 resection, and the pCR rate was calculated as the proportion of patients achieving this response
R0 resection rate7 days after surgerythe proportion of patients achieving R0 resection among all patients undergoing tumor resection surgery
the TNM downstaging rate7 days before surgerydefined as the proportion of patients whose post-neoadjuvant therapy TNM stage (prior to surgery) was lower than their baseline TNM stage
Event-free survival2 yearsdefined as the time from the date of informed consent to loss of surgical eligibility due to disease progression, postoperative recurrence, or death from any cause
Overall survivalApproximately 5 years following the first dose of study drugsThe time from enrolment to death of any reason
drug safety and surgical complicationsAdverse events (AEs) will be followed up for 30 days, serious adverse events (SAEs) will be followed up until resolution (assessed up to 60 days), and surgical complications will be followed up for 90 days.Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 and Number of participants with surgical complications as assessed by Clavien-Dindo
