Study on Zipalertinib vs. Placebo for Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Uncommon EGFR Mutations After Tumor Removal
Sponsor: Taiho Oncology, Inc.
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07128199
This clinical trial is comparing the effectiveness and safety of the drug zipalertinib with a placebo, both combined with chemotherapy, in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have uncommon EGFR mutations and have had their tumors surgically removed.

Program Overview
The aim of this study is to see if zipalertinib, when used with chemotherapy, is more effective than a placebo with chemotherapy in treating early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has been surgically removed and has uncommon EGFR mutations. The study will involve about 360 participants who will be randomly assigned to receive either zipalertinib or a placebo, both in combination with standard chemotherapy.
Description
This study is testing a new drug called zipalertinib, which targets specific mutations in the EGFR gene, in combination with standard chemotherapy drugs (cisplatin or carboplatin plus pemetrexed) for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has been surgically removed. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will receive zipalertinib with chemotherapy, and the other group will receive a placebo with chemotherapy. Each treatment cycle will last 21 days. The study will monitor the safety and effectiveness of the treatments, and an independent committee will review safety data during the trial.
