Study population

Adult patients with HER2-mutated NSCLC who were receiving outpatient or inpatient care at each participating institution prior to the date of research approval, as well as patients who will receive outpatient or inpatient care between the date of research approval and 31 October 2029.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients aged ≥18 years
  2. Patients with or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
  3. Patients confirmed to be human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 () mutation-positive, as documented by a medical institution
  4. Patients who have received or are scheduled to receive zongertinib based on the package insert
  5. Patients who provided consent to participate in the study on or after the date of approval of the study conduct at each participating institution, through one of the following procedures:

A) Patients who, or whose legally acceptable representative, provided written for participation B) For patients transferred to another hospital, written informed consent is not mandatory, and registration through verbal informed consent will be permitted C) Patients for whom written or verbal informed consent cannot be obtained because they are deceased or cannot be contacted by the investigators can be enrolled through an opt-out procedure

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Patients for whom first-time zongertinib treatment is on or after fourth line (4L) treatment
  2. Patients who have received zongertinib as an drug
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

HER2

HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.

In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Groups and cohorts

  • Zongertinib first-line treatment (1L) group

    Japanese patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have received their first systemic anticancer therapy for metastatic or locally advanced NSCLC.

    Drug: Zongertinib

  • Zongertinib second-line treatment (2L) group

    Japanese patients with HER2-mutated NSCLC have received their systemic anticancer therapy administered after one prior line of systemic therapy for metastatic or locally advanced NSCLC.

    Drug: Zongertinib

  • Zongertinib third-line treatment (3L) group

    Japanese patients with HER2-mutated NSCLC have received their systemic anticancer therapy administered after two prior lines of systemic therapy for metastatic or locally advanced NSCLC.

    Drug: Zongertinib
