Brief Summary

Complete surgical resection is the standard treatment in early-stage lung cancer. However, the patients with early resected Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor(EGFR)-mutated lung cancers have high recurrence rate. The efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment by first-generation EGFR-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor(TKI) has been demonstrated, however, that of the third-generation EGFR-TKI(lazertinib) has not yet been fully investigated. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant Lazertinib in resectable EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC and clinical application of extracellular vesicles(EVs) based BALF liquid biopsy to identify EGFR mutation without invasive tissue biopsy.

Conditions

Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

Keywords

EGFR mutation; extracellular vesicle; bronchoalveolar lavage; liquid biopsy; lazertinib

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Objective response rate

  The objective response rate (ORR) evaluated with RECIST version 1.1. It is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after 9 weeks of lazertinib administration

  9 weeks after the starting day of the lazertinib

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Down-staging rate

  From the day of screening to an average of 16 weeks after the first dose

• Major pathological response

  From the day of screening to an average of 16 weeks after the first dose

• Disease-free survival rate

  up to 3 years after surgery

• The concordance rate of EGFR mutations between surgical tissue and BAL fluid samples

  From the day of screening day to an average of 16 weeks after the first dose
