Almonertinib Plus Microwave Ablation in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (MWA)

September 2, 2021 updated by: Lili Cao, Qianfoshan Hospital

Almonertinib Plus Microwave Ablation Versus Almonertinib in Previously Untreated，Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, a Randomized，Controlled，Phase II Clinical Trial

Almonertinib, as a third-generation EGFR-TKI, has been used for the treatment of advanced non small cell lung cancer. How to improve the progression free survival in advance was a challenge. Our previous study showed that first-line EGFR-TKIs plus microwave ablation had PFS survival advantage versus EGFR-TKIs alone. So we conducted this prospective study to verify the efficacy and safety of the combination in a randomized, controlled, phase II clinical trial.

Detailed Description

Almonertinib, as a third-generation EGFR-TKI, has been used for the treatment of advanced non small cell lung cancer. How to improve the progression free survival in advance was a challenge. Our previous study showed that first-line EGFR-TKIs plus microwave ablation had PFS survival advantage versus EGFR-TKIs alone. So we conducted this prospective study to verify the efficacy and safety of the combination in a randomized, controlled, phase II clinical trial. Patients were assigned into two groups.In the experiment group, patients were treated with both Almonertinib and microwave ablation. In the control group, patients were treated with Almonertinib alone. The primary end point was progression free survival. Second endpoints included overall survival and safety.

Phase

Phase

The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

When the best response achieved, microwave ablation was conducted in the primary tumors, and then followed by Almonertinib treatments.
