• Interventions: Drug: Gefitinib; Drug: HS-10296

• Registration Number: NCT03849768
• Lead Sponsor: Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter, phase III clinical study.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter, phase III clinical trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of HS-10296 compared to gefitinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor sensitizing mutations (EGFRm+) who have not received systemic therapy. Patients are randomly assigned to an HS-10296 treatment group or a gefitinib treatment group at a ratio of 1:1 and receive a once-daily oral dose of HS-10296 or gefitinib, in order to compare the efficacy and safety of the two different treatment regimens.

1. Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures, sampling and analyses.

2. Male or female, age at least 18 years.

3. Pathologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (e.g. this may occur systemic recurrence after prior surgery for early stage disease or patients may be newly diagnosed with stage IIIB/IV disease). Patients must be treatment-naïve for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Prior adjuvant and neo-adjuvant therapy is permitted (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, investigational agents) provided all other entry criteria are satisfied.

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: PARALLEL

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Gefitinib	Gefitinib	250mg PO once daily
HS-10296	HS-10296	110mg PO once daily

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression Free Survival (PFS)	From baseline, then every 6 weeks, until disease progression or discontinuation from study. From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, approximately 2 years.	PFS was defined as the time from the date of first dose until the date of radiological disease progression or until death due to any cause, based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, as assessed by investigators. Progression is defined as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Rate (ORR)	From baseline, then every 6 weeks, until disease progression or discontinuation from study.（up to 24 months）	ORR is defined as the percentage of patients who have at least 1 response of CR or PR prior to any evidence of progression. Target lesions and assessed by CT per RECIST v1.1 (Complete Response(CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.).
Assess the Anti-tumor Activity: Duration of Response (DoR)	From baseline, then every 6 weeks, until disease progression or discontinuation from study. (up to 24 months)	DoR is defined as the time from the date of first documented response until the date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression assessed up to 24 months.
Assess the Anti-tumor Activity: Disease Control Rate (DCR)	From baseline, then every 6 weeks, until disease progression or discontinuation from study.	The DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of CR, PR, or SD assessed up to 24 months.
Number of Participants With Dose Interruptions	From baseline, then every 6 weeks, until disease progression or discontinuation from study. (up to 24 months)	Participants had at least one delay in planned treatment due to treatment emergent adverse events.
Assess the Anti-tumor Activity: Depth of Response (DepOR)	From baseline, then every 6 weeks, until disease progression or discontinuation from study.（up to 24 months）	DepOR is defined as the percentage change in tumor shrinkage, based on longest diameter or reconstructed volume, observed at the lowest point (nadir) compared with baseline.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)/Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	Continuously throughout the study until 28 days after HS-10296 discontinuation.From first dose of study drug up to 28 days after last dose of study drug taken (up to data cut-off (15 Jan 2021)),approximately 2 years.	Safety was assessed by AEs, which included abnormalities identified during a medical test (e.g. laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram, etc.) if the abnormality induced clinical signs or symptoms, needed active intervention, interruption or discontinuation of study medication or was clinically significant. A treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) was defined as an AE observed after starting administration of the study drug. AEs were considered serious (SAEs) if the AE resulted in death, was life threatening, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, resulted in congenital anomaly, or birth defect or required inpatient hospitalization or led to prolongation of hospitalization.
Number of Participants With Dose Reductions	From baseline, then every 6 weeks, until disease progression or discontinuation from study. (up to 24 months)	Participants had at least one reduction in planned treatment dosage due to treatment emergent adverse events. Every participant took 2 pills of HS; -10296 + 1 pill of placebo(experimental arm) or 2pills of placebo + 1pill of Gefitinib (control arm). When a dose reduction was decided by INV, the set of "2 pills of placebo" was decreased resulting in no reduction of active compound in control arm, compliance with dose modification for AEs in Gefitinib's label which includes interruption, discontinuation but reduction.
