About This Trial

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.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Naive Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With EGFR-sensitive Mutations (EGFR Exon 19 Deletion and Exon 21 L858R Mutation) and Symptomatic Brain Metastases and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 74 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Naive Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With EGFR-sensitive Mutations (EGFR Exon 19 Deletion and Exon 21 L858R Mutation) and Symptomatic Brain Metastases subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
