Sequential Chemotherapy With Befotertinib in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients With Resistance to Third-Generation EGFR-TKI
Sponsor: Betta Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.
Summary
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for over 85% of lung cancers. Approximately 30-40% of East Asian adenocarcinoma patients harbor EGFR mutations. Third-generation EGFR-TKIs achieve a median PFS of about 20 months as first-line therapy, but resistance eventually develops. Studies like MARIPOSA-2 confirm that amivantamab combined with chemotherapy ± lazertinib or immunotherapy regimens (ivucitinib/sintilimab + bevacizumab + chemotherapy) can extend median PFS post-resistance from approximately 4 months to 6-8 months. As a third-generation TKI, befitinib has demonstrated PFS of 16-22 months in both first-line and post-T790M mutation settings. This study aims to further evaluate the feasibility and safety of "pemetrexed + carboplatin followed by befotertinib" for patients resistant to third-generation TKIs.

Interventions
Befotertinib
Befotertinib was administered orally at a starting dose of 75 mg per day for 21 days, which could be increased to 100 mg per day if grade 2 or higher thrombocytopenia or headache did not occur within 21 days, or maintained at the original dose (75 mg per day) if grade 2 or higher thrombocytopenia or headache occurred within 21 days.
Pemetrexed + Carboplatin
pemetrexed (500 mg/m²) and carboplatin (AUC 5), administered every 3 weeks, for a total of 2\~4 cycles.
