Recruiting PHASE3 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

New treatment option for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Official title A Phase III Study to Assess the Effects of Almonertinib Following Chemoradiation in Patients With Stage III Unresectable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04951635

What this study is testing

What is Almonertinib?

Almonertinib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily, being studied as a potential treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.

Also referred to as HS-10296.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
To assess the efficacy and safety of Almonertinib versus placebo following chemoradiation in patients with stage III unresectable epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positive (EGFRm+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
