New drug vs. afatinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares a new drug (FHND9041) to a standard targeted therapy (afatinib) for people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation. It aims to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has not been treated before with any cancer drugs
- Your tumor has a specific EGFR gene mutation (either exon 19 deletion or L858R)
- You have at least one measurable tumor that hasn't been radiated or biopsied recently
- You are generally healthy enough to be up and about (ECOG score 0 or 1)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two targeted therapy pills, aumolertinib and osimertinib, for people with a specific EGFR mutation in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer that has spread. Both drugs are designed to block cancer growth signals. The study aims to see which one works better as a first treatment.
This study tests three different targeted pills (osimertinib, afatinib, dacomitinib) in people with advanced EGFR-mutated lung cancer who haven't had targeted therapy before. The goal is to find which pill works best and has the fewest side effects.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—nintedanib and an EGFR inhibitor—for people with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has stopped responding to their first EGFR inhibitor treatment. The goal is to see if adding nintedanib can help control the cancer again.
This study tests an oral targeted therapy (firmonertinib) as the first treatment for advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. It uses blood tests (ctDNA) to see if the drug is working and to guide whether to continue or adjust treatment, aiming to improve outcomes while reducing side effects.
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (DZD9008 and AZD4205) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation and has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
This trial compares a new targeted therapy pill (firmanertinib) to standard chemotherapy in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have a specific EGFR mutation (PACC or L861Q). If you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer matches these mutations, this study may offer a more convenient oral option.
