Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of TAK-788 to platinum-based chemotherapy in participants with NSCLC whose tumors have EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations.

See full description
Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced non-squamous NSCLC and specific EGFR exon 20 mutations, who haven't had systemic treatment for advanced disease. They should have a life expectancy of at least 3 months, an ECOG performance status of 0-1, adequate organ function, and no other primary malignancies or conditions like spinal cord compression.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of TAK-788 taken orally against platinum-based chemotherapy (pemetrexed with cisplatin or carboplatin) given intravenously in patients with certain genetic mutations in their lung cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to one of these treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
TAK-788 may cause side effects such as diarrhea, rash, nausea; while platinum-based chemotherapies can lead to nerve damage (neuropathy), kidney problems, hearing issues, and increased risk of infections due to lowered blood cell counts.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: TAK-788 Group (Arm A)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
TAK-788 160 milligram (mg) with or without food, capsules, orally, once daily until the participants experience PD as assessed by blinded IRC, intolerable toxicity, or another discontinuation criteria.
Group II: Platinum-based Chemotherapy Group (Arm B)Active Control3 Interventions
Pemetrexed 500 milligram per meter square (mg/m\^2) plus cisplatin 75 mg/m\^2, infusion, IV, once on Day 1 of 21-day cycle pemetrexed 500 mg/m\^2 plus carboplatin, infusion, IV, once at a dose calculated to produce area under curve (AUC) of 5 milligram\*minute per milliliter (mg\*min/mL) on Day 1 of 21-day cycle until the participants experience PD as assessed by blinded IRC, intolerable toxicity, or another discontinuation criteria. Pemetrexed/cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin will be repeated every 3 weeks for 4 cycles, followed by maintenance treatment with pemetrexed 500 mg/m\^2, on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle thereafter.
