About this trial

The goal of this Single-arm, Phase II clinical trial is to learn whether ablation or stereotactic radiotherapy combined with furmonertinib can treat early-stage non-small cell lung cancer in patients who are inoperable or refuse surgery.

The main purposes of this study is to answer:

Can ablation or stereotactic radiotherapy combined with furmonertinib improve survival in patients with early-stage NSCLC who are inoperable or refuse surgery? Can ablation or stereotactic radiotherapy combined with furmonertinib reduce recurrence in patients with early-stage NSCLC who are inoperable or refuse surgery?

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Voluntarily participate in the clinical study

Aged ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form

Histologically or cytologically confirmed early-stage T1-3 N0 NSCLC, or patients with multiple primary lesions or solitary pulmonary parenchymal recurrence

Confirmed presence of EGFR-sensitive mutations by genetic testing, including but not limited to Exon 19 deletion, L858R, G719X, L861Q, S768I, and their compound mutations

Disqualifiers

Known severe allergic reaction (NCI-CTCAE v5.0 grade ≥ 3) to any monoclonal antibody or any excipient of the study drug

Known contraindications to ablation or radiotherapy

Failure to meet the minimum requirements for target coverage and dose constraints to organs at risk in the SABR treatment plan

Active infection requiring systemic anti-infective therapy within 14 days prior to the first dose

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • furmonertinib

    Drug

    furmonertinib 80 mg once daily (QD), administered orally for 3 consecutive years

  • ablation

    Procedure/Surgery

    1. Immobilization and image guidance: Supine or prone position; vacuum cushion or mask to limit motion. CT guidance for entry point, angle, and depth; ultrasound for selected peripheral lesions. 2. Ablation target planning: Ablation zone should cover GTV with ≥5-10 mm margin. For tumors near critical structures, pursue adequate margin when safe; consider heat sink or thermal isolation. 3. Ablation procedure: Choose MWA, RFA, or cryoablation based on tumor size, location, anatomy, and resources. 4. Intraprocedural monitoring and endpoint assessment: CT during/after ablation to confirm ground-glass opacity covers tumor with planned margin. Ablation zone ≥5 mm beyond tumor = technical success. If inadequate, reposition and supplement. 5. Post-procedure management and follow-up: Monitor vital signs; manage complications as needed.

  • stereotactic body radiotherapy

    Radiation

    1. Immobilization: Use a thermoplastic mask or vacuum cushion for immobilization based on the treatment site. 2. CT simulation: After immobilization and stabilization of breathing, laser alignment is performed, followed by 4D-CT simulation (preferred) or conventional CT simulation. 3. Radiotherapy target delineation and dose: GTV includes the primary lung tumor and metastatic lymph nodes after chemotherapy. A 5-mm margin is added to form the PTV. 4. Radiotherapy plan: For peripheral lesions: 48 Gy in 4 fractions or 50 Gy in 5 fractions; for central lesions: 60 Gy in 8 fractions or 60 Gy in 10 fractions.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

2-year EFS rate

defined as the proportion of patients who experience no event (including disease progression, recurrence, distant metastasis, discontinuation of treatment for any reason, or death) within 24 months from the start of treatment, relative to the total enrolled population.

Time frame
Within two years after the treatment

Secondary outcomes

1

3-year EFS rate

defined as the proportion of patients who experience no event (including disease progression, recurrence, distant metastasis, or death) within 36 months from the start of treatment, relative to the total enrolled population.

Time frame
Within three years after the treatment
2

overall survival

defined as the time from the start of treatment to death from any cause

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 5 year
3

Local control rate (LCR)

defined as the proportion of patients who show no radiographic enlargement or recurrence of the primary tumor during follow-up

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 1 year
4

Time to distant metastasis

defined as the time from the start of treatment to the first occurrence of distant metastasis (e.g., to bone, brain, liver, or distant lymph nodes)

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 1 year
