Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the disease control rate (DCR) of gefitinib as third-line retreatment in stage IIIB/IV NSCLC with EGFR 19del/L858R positive mutation patients who had benefited from first-line gefitinib treatment with EGFR 19del/L858R positive mutation and tumor progression after the second-line chemotherapy

Read the detailed description
  • Primary Study Objective: To evaluate the disease control rate (DCR) of gefitinib as third-line retreatment in stage IIIB/IV NSCLC with EGFR 19del/L858R positive mutation patients who had benefited from first-line gefitinib treatment with EGFR 19del/L858R positive mutation and tumor progression after the second-line chemotherapy
  • Secondary Study Objectives: To evaluate objective response rate (ORR), progressive-free survival (PFS), overall survival(OS) and quality of life (QoL) of gefitinib as third-line retreatment in NSCLC patients To evaluate the safety of gefitinib as third-line treatment in NSCLC patients
  • Exploratory analyses: To dynamically monitor EGFR mutation status and explore the relationship with clinical outcome

Inclusion criteria

  1. The subject or legal guardian could understand and sign informed consent form.
  2. Male or female aged 18 years or older;
  3. Subjects were diagnosed with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC before starting the first dose of gefitinib third-line treatment;

  7. Women of childbearing age refuse to take adequate contraception measures during gefitinib treatment
  8. Subjects with other malignant tumors combined;
  9. Known or suspected brain metastases or spinal cord compression, unless treated with surgery and/or radiation and stable without steroid treatment for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study medication;
  10. Subjects are unable to take medications orally or have digestive malabsorption;
