Local Ablative Therapy to Oligoresidual Metastasis in EGFR Mutated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

February 11, 2026 updated by: Molly SC Li, Chinese University of Hong Kong

ATOM2: A Randomized Phase II Trial on Ablative Therapy to Oligoresidual Metastasis in EGFR Mutated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer After Osimertinib Treatment

This is an open-label, multicentre, randomized phase II clinical trial. Patients with stage IV (AJCC 9th edition) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation, who had less than or equal to 3 active oligoresidual cancer sites amenable to local ablative therapy (LAT) (as determined by physician) after 3-6 months of firstline osimertinib treatment, are eligible. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to osimertinib with or without LAT.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 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.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18 years of age or older and able to understand and give written informed consent
  • Pathologically proven non-small cell lung cancer
  • Positive for EGFR exon 19 deletion or EGFR exon 21 L858R mutation (either by tissue or plasma testing)
  • Stage IV disease
  • Receive first line osimertinib monotherapy for stage IV disease
  • Undergo a PET-CT scan after 12-24 weeks of initiation of osimertinib treatment, with no evidence of disease progression, and less than or equal to 3 active disease sites (including primary tumour) amenable to local ablative therapy, as determined by investigator
  • At least one brain imaging (CT Brain or MRI Brain with contrast, preferably MRI Brain), either at time of diagnosis or while on osimertinib treatment but before randomization, to document CNS status for stratification. Patients with asymptomatic CNS metastases are eligible. For patients with brain metastases diagnosed at baseline, follow up brain imaging is recommended before randomization.
  • Patients with history of palliative radiotherapy are eligible
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
  • Adequate haematological values: haemoglobin ≥9.0g/dL, absolute neutreophil count ≥1.0 x 109/L, platelet count ≥100 x 109/L
  • Adequate hepatic function: bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN, AST/ALT ≤2.5 x ULN
  • Adequate renal function: creatinine clearance ≥30ml/min, according to the formula of Cockcroft-Gault equation
  • Willing and able to comply with the requirements and restrictions in this protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous or concomitant malignancy within 5 years prior registration with the exception of adequately treated localized non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical cancer in situ.
  • Mixed SCLC and NSCLC histology
  • Positive pregnancy test
  • Contraindication to radiotherapy
  • Any serious underlying medical, psychiatric, psychological, familial condition that in the judgement of the investigator, that may interfere with planned staging, treatment and follow up, affect patient compliance, or place the patient at high risk from treatment related complications

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Radiotherapy arm
  • Continue osimertinib as per standard of care (40mg or 80mg daily).
  • Undergo radiotherapy to 1-3 disease sites as determined by the investigator.
Radiation: Local ablative therapy
Local ablative therapy (LAT) will be given in the form of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) or hypofractionated radiotherapy. LAT should be started within 90 days from the screening PET-CT scan.
Active Comparator: Control arm
Continue osimertinib as per standard of care (40mg or 80mg daily)
Drug: Osimertinib alone
Continue osimertinib as per standard of care (40mg or 80mg daily)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
18 month progression-free survival rate (PFS) in per-protocol population as determined by investigator.
Time Frame: up to 2 years
up to 2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: 2 years
2 years
Safety and tolerability reflected by number of participants with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0, number of participants with SAE
Time Frame: 2 years
2 years
Time to treatment failure (TTF), defined as the time period between osimertinib initiation and cessation or death
Time Frame: 2 years
