Targeted therapy before surgery for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of two targeted medicines (befotertinib and bevacizumab) before surgery for people with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed right away. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor and improve surgery outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific change called an EGFR mutation.
- Your cancer is at stage II or III, meaning it is in the chest but has not spread to other organs.
- Your cancer can be measured on a CT scan (at least 1 cm).
- You are healthy enough to undergo surgery, with good lung function and good performance status (ECOG 0-1).
- You have not received any prior treatment for lung cancer.
- You are at least 18 years old, and if of childbearing potential, you agree to use effective contraception.

This trial tests a new targeted pill (befotertinib) given before surgery, either with another targeted drug (bevacizumab) or with standard chemotherapy. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for people with a specific type of lung cancer.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and a targeted drug (befotertinib) for people with non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has stopped responding to a common type of targeted therapy. It aims to see if this new sequence can help overcome resistance.
This trial tests whether combining a targeted therapy (Firmonertinib) with a drug that blocks blood vessel growth (bevacizumab/Avastin) before surgery can shrink tumors in people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR mutation-positive, stages II–IIIB). The goal is to increase the chance of successful surgery.
This trial tests whether taking furmonertinib alone, or furmonertinib plus bevacizumab, before surgery can improve outcomes for people with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma that has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy followed by an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) before surgery helps people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutant, non-small cell) that is at a stage where surgery can be considered. The goal is to improve outcomes by shrinking the tumor before the operation.
This trial tests giving Furmonertinib (an oral targeted therapy) before surgery to shrink tumors in people with a specific EGFR gene mutation in their non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to make surgery more effective and improve outcomes.
