Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a single arm phase II clinical trial, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combination of gefitinib and doublet chemotherapy or antiangiogenesis in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with EGFR activating mutation, accompanied with Bim deletion or low activating EGFR mutation abundance.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Non-small-cell Lung Cancer	Drug: Gefitinib Drug: pemetrexed or gemcitabine plus carboplatin, Drug: bevacizumab	Phase 2

Detailed Description

BIM deletion polymorphism and low EGFR mutation abundance were poor clinical response markers to EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC patients who had EGFR mutations.This is a phase II clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of combination treatment for patients harboring risk factors.

Advanced EGFR mutated NSCLC Patients with Bim deletion or EGFR low mutation abundance were randomizely divided into three treatment groups:

A:Gefitinib 250mg Qd B:Gefitinib 250mg Qd combined with doublet chemotherapy: Pemetrexed (500mg/m²day 1 intravenously) plus carboplatin (AUC=5,day 1,intravenously) every 21 days, Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m² days 1, day8, intravenously) plus carboplatin (AUC=5,day 1,intravenously) every 21 days C:Gefitinib 250mg Qd combined with bevacizumab 7.5mg/kg intravenously per 21 days.
