Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma, an EGFR mutation and brain metastases that cause symptoms, who have had no cancer treatment yet.
- Age
- 18-75 years
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma with symptomatic brain metastases confirmed by contrast-enhanced CT/MRI. 1-10 brain lesions need a higher radiation dose, and at least one is 10 mm or larger. At least one measurable lesion outside the brain. ECOG performance status 0-2. Expected survival of at least 12 weeks.
- Earlier treatment
- No anti-tumor treatment for non-small cell lung cancer before. No blood components or cell growth factors within 14 days.
- Biomarker or test result
- EGFR-sensitive mutation: exon 19 deletion (19del) or exon 21 L858R mutation.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Meningeal metastasis
- Uncontrollable fluid build-up in the chest or belly (pleural effusion, ascites)
- Problems that stop oral drugs from being swallowed or absorbed
- Known pregnancy, planned pregnancy, or refusing contraception for women who can have children
- Active interstitial lung disease or clinically significant ECG abnormalities
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 21 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Signed a written informed consent form prior to enrollment
- Aged 18-75 years
- Histopathologically confirmed non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma (NSCLC); EGFR gene test confirmed EGFR sensitive mutations, including exon 19 deletion (19del) and exon 21 L858R mutation (verified and confirmed by investigators at the respective study centers)
- Brain metastasis confirmed by contrast-enhanced cranial CT/MRI; the number of brain metastatic lesions requiring local dose escalation is 1-10, with at least one measurable intracranial lesion having a diameter ≥10 mm; the distance between metastatic lesions and important cerebral functional areas meets radiotherapy-related requirements; at least one measurable lesion (per RECIST v1.1 criteria) confirmed by contrast-enhanced extracranial CT/PET-CT
- Symptomatic brain metastasis
- ECOG performance status score: 0-2
- Expected survival time of no less than 12 weeks
- No prior anti-tumor treatment received for NSCLC
- Normal function of vital organs, meeting the following requirements (no blood components or cell growth factors administered within 14 days):
- Routine blood test criteria: Hb ≥100 g/L; ANC ≥1.5×10⁹/L; PLT ≥75×10⁹/L; B) Biochemical test criteria: TBIL ≤1.5×ULN (upper limit of normal); ALT and AST ≤2.5×ULN (for patients with liver metastasis, ALT and AST ≤5×ULN); serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN, creatinine clearance rate ≥50 ml/min (calculated based on the Cockroft-Gault formula); C) Coagulation function criteria: INR ≤1.5×ULN and APTT ≤1.5×ULN; D) Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%
- For non-surgically sterilized patients or women of childbearing potential: a medically approved contraceptive method (e.g., intrauterine device, oral contraceptives, or condoms) must be used during the study treatment period and for 3 months after the end of study treatment; non-surgically sterilized women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine HCG test within 7 days prior to study enrollment, and must not be breastfeeding; All subjects voluntarily participate in the study, with good compliance and willingness to cooperate with safety and overall survival follow-up
Who cannot take part
- Presence of multiple factors impairing oral drug administration and absorption (e.g., inability to swallow, post-gastrointestinal resection, chronic diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, etc.)
- Patients with severe concomitant diseases or those deemed ineligible for enrollment by the investigator
- Participation in other drug clinical trials within 4 weeks prior to enrollment
- Concurrent receipt of other anti-tumor therapies
- A known history of psychotropic drug abuse, alcoholism, or drug addiction in the subject
- Underlying diseases that may interfere with study drugs (e.g., clinically significant electrocardiographic abnormalities, active interstitial lung disease)
- Any other conditions deemed by the investigator to potentially harm the subject or render them unable to meet or comply with the study requirements
- Presence of uncontrollable third space effusion (e.g., pleural effusion, ascites) that cannot be managed with drainage or other interventions
- Patients who are known to be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or women of childbearing potential who refuse to adopt effective contraceptive measures throughout the study period
- Patients with meningeal metastasis

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This is a single-arm, multicenter, open-label, phase Ⅱ exploratory clinical study, which plans to enroll 74 treatment-naive patients with EGFR-sensitive mutations (exon 19 deletion, exon 21 L858R mutation) and symptomatic brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary objective is to evaluate the intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS) of hippocampal-sparing whole-brain radiotherapy (PTV: 20Gy/10 fractions) combined with simultaneous integrated boost to brain metastases (PGTV: 40Gy/10 fractions) plus osimertinib (80mg orally once daily). The secondary objectives are to assess efficacy indicators including overall progression-free survival (PFS), intracranial/systemic objective response rate (ORR), as well as safety. The primary endpoint is iPFS, supplemented by secondary endpoints such as PFS, ORR, disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), adverse events (AE) evaluated per NCI-CTCAE v5.0 criteria, and neurocognitive function scores (MMSE/HVLT-R). By optimizing the combined mode of radiotherapy and targeted therapy, this study aims to provide a safer and more effective treatment option for such patients, balancing tumor control and quality of life protection.
