Summary

"This trial is comparing a new drug called DZD9008 to standard chemotherapy in patients with a type of lung cancer called NSCLC that has a specific genetic mutation. The study aims to see

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who haven't had systemic therapy for their advanced disease. They must have a certain type of mutation in their cancer cells (EGFR Exon20ins), be able to perform daily activities with minimal assistance, and have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
What is being tested?
The study compares DZD9008, an experimental drug, against standard platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC carrying the EGFR Exon20ins mutation. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these treatments and monitored to see which is more effective at slowing down cancer progression.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include those commonly associated with chemotherapy such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss, increased risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, and organ-specific issues. The new drug DZD9008 may also cause unknown or unexpected side effects.
