Despite complete (R0) resection, patients with EGFR-mutant stage IIA-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) still face a substantial risk of postoperative recurrence. Although adjuvant EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors have improved disease-free survival, conventional fixed-duration adjuvant therapy is applied uniformly to all patients and does not distinguish those who genuinely require treatment from those who could be safely spared. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) profiling enables minimal residual disease (MRD) detection that is both earlier and more accurate than imaging, and has therefore emerged as a promising tool for individualizing postoperative adjuvant therapy.
This prospective, real-world, interventional study will enroll 50 patients with resected (R0), EGFR 19del or L858R mutant, stage IIA-IIIB non-squamous NSCLC. For three years after surgery, adjuvant treatment is dynamically guided by serial MRD testing performed 3-10 days and 4 weeks (±7 days) after surgery and every 3-6 months thereafter. Patients with a positive MRD result at either of the first two time points receive aumolertinib-based adjuvant therapy, with the regimen determined by the mutations detected in blood: aumolertinib monotherapy (110 mg once daily) when only the EGFR mutation is detected, or aumolertinib combined with chemotherapy (pemetrexed plus carboplatin for four cycles, followed by pemetrexed maintenance) when co-mutations are detected. Patients whose MRD remains negative undergo observation with regular ctDNA monitoring; if MRD turns positive or imaging progression occurs, aumolertinib-based adjuvant therapy is initiated according to the same rules. Treatment is discontinued once MRD becomes undetectable; patients with persistently negative MRD over three years receive no aumolertinib. After three years, subsequent treatment is at the investigator's discretion.
The primary endpoint is the 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate, defined as the proportion of patients remaining free from recurrence or death for at least 24 months after surgery. Secondary endpoints include the 2-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates, 3-year total treatment cost, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, rate of timely postoperative recurrence diagnosis, and cumulative duration of aumolertinib treatment; exploratory analyses will assess the association between ctDNA/MRD molecular features and clinical efficacy. This study aims to establish a dynamic MRD-guided precision adjuvant strategy that avoids overtreatment while improving outcomes in resected EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

Exclusion Criteria:
All participants receive dynamic MRD-guided aumolertinib-based adjuvant therapy for up to 3 years after R0 resection. Serial MRD testing is performed 3-10 days and 4 weeks (±7 days) after surgery and every 3-6 months thereafter. Patients positive for MRD at either initial time point receive aumolertinib-based therapy per blood mutations: aumolertinib monotherapy (110 mg once daily) if only the EGFR mutation is detected; or aumolertinib plus chemotherapy (pemetrexed 500 mg/m² plus carboplatin AUC 5, four cycles then pemetrexed maintenance) if co-mutations are detected. Aumolertinib is stopped if MRD clears. Patients negative at both initial time points are observed with regular ctDNA monitoring; if MRD turns positive or imaging progression occurs, aumolertinib-based therapy is started per the same rules. Patients with persistently negative MRD for 3 years receive no aumolertinib. After 3 years, treatment is at the investigator's discretion.
Drug: Aumolertinib · Drug: Pemetrexed · Drug: Carboplatin
110 mg orally once daily, for up to 3 years as adjuvant therapy. The dose may be reduced to 55 mg once daily based on adverse events.
500 mg/m² by intravenous infusion on day 1 of each 21-day cycle for four cycles, followed by pemetrexed maintenance. Administered in combination with aumolertinib to patients whose blood MRD shows co-mutations.
AUC 5 by intravenous infusion on day 1 of each 21-day cycle for four cycles. Administered in combination with aumolertinib and pemetrexed to patients whose blood MRD shows co-mutations.
2-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate
DFS is defined as the time from the date of surgery to the first occurrence of disease recurrence (local/regional recurrence or distant metastasis) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. The 2-year DFS rate is the proportion of patients remaining free from recurrence or death for at least 24 months after surgery.
Time frame: 24 months after surgery
2-year overall survival (OS) rate
OS is defined as the time from the date of surgery to death from any cause. OS rate at 2 years after surgery will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: 24 months after surgery
3-year overall survival (OS) rate
OS is defined as the time from the date of surgery to death from any cause. OS rate at 3 years after surgery will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: 36 months after surgery
5-year overall survival (OS) rate
OS is defined as the time from the date of surgery to death from any cause. OS rate at 5 years after surgery will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: 60 months after surgery
3-year total treatment cost
Total direct treatment costs incurred during the 3 years following surgery, including the costs of adjuvant therapy, MRD testing, and follow-up examinations.
Time frame: 3 years after surgery
Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER)
The incremental cost per unit of effectiveness (e.g., cost per disease-free year gained) of MRD-guided aumolertinib-based adjuvant therapy relative to conventional adjuvant approaches.
Time frame: 3 years after surgery
Rate of timely postoperative recurrence diagnosis
The proportion of disease recurrences that are diagnosed in a timely manner during postoperative follow-up, as enabled by serial MRD monitoring (i.e., earlier than or concurrent with radiological evidence of progression).
Time frame: Through the follow-up period, up to 5 years after surgery
Cumulative duration of aumolertinib treatment
The cumulative duration of aumolertinib administration during the 3-year postoperative period.
Time frame: Up to 3 years after surgery
Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs)
AEs will be graded according to NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 and summarized by incidence and severity, including serious adverse events (SAEs) and laboratory abnormalities.
Time frame: From the first dose through 30 days after the last dose of study treatment
Association between ctDNA/MRD molecular features and clinical efficacy
Assessment of the association between ctDNA/MRD molecular features (including mutation profiles and MRD positivity/clearance dynamics) and clinical efficacy endpoints (DFS, OS).
Time frame: Through the study period, up to 5 years after surgery
