About this trial
This study is designed as a prospective, multi-center investigation to explore the efficacy and safety of furmonertinib combined with upfront thoracic radiotherapy with or without metastatic lesion radiotherapy in subjects with EGFR-mutant NSCLC and malignant pleural effusion (MPE), aiming to provide additional evidence-based medical support for optimizing the management of NSCLC-MPE subjects. In addition, peripheral blood ctDNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) will be performed at two time points-before the first furmonertinib treatment and one month after the completion of thoracic radiotherapy-to identify subpopulations most likely to benefit from this therapeutic approach and to elucidate resistance mechanisms specific to the radiotherapy-plus-furmonertinib combination, ultimately facilitating more personalized care for these subjects.
