A Study of Amivantamab and Lazertinib in Combination With Platinum-Based Chemotherapy Compared With Platinum-Based Chemotherapy in Patients With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)-Mutated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non- Small Cell Lung Cancer After Osimertinib Failure
This study is for people with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung carcinoma, where the cancer has specific gene changes (EGFR mutation) and has grown or spread despite treatment with a drug called osimertinib. We are testing new combinations of drugs, including amivantamab and lazertinib, alongside standard chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin). The main goal is to see if these new combinations are more effective than standard chemotherapy alone in shrinking the cancer or slowing its growth. We also want to understand if these new combinations are safe to use. After the main part of the study, there might be an option for participants to continue receiving their assigned treatment for longer.

What is this study about?
This research study is about finding better ways to treat a specific type of lung cancer known as non-small cell lung carcinoma. This particular cancer has a genetic change, or mutation, in a gene called EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor). These EGFR mutations can sometimes make the cancer grow and spread more easily.
Patients taking part in this study have already been treated with a drug called osimertinib, but their cancer has unfortunately started to grow again or has spread. This study is testing whether adding new drugs, amivantamab and lazertinib, to standard chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin) can be more effective than chemotherapy on its own. The hope is that these new combinations might help control the cancer for longer or shrink it more effectively.
The study involves comparing different treatment groups to see which one works best and is safest. Looking at these new drug combinations helps doctors learn more about how to best treat this type of lung cancer when osimertinib is no longer working. It's an important step in trying to improve care for people with this condition.
Key takeaways
- Tests new drug combinations for advanced lung cancer (EGFR-mutated NSCLC).
- For patients whose cancer has worsened after osimertinib treatment.
- Compares new drug combinations against standard chemotherapy.
- Aims to find more effective and safer treatments.
- You might receive new drugs or standard chemotherapy, decided by chance.
- Participation is voluntary and you can withdraw at any time.
Who may be eligible?
This study is looking for adults aged 18 and over who have been diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread or is difficult to treat locally. Your cancer must have specific genetic changes called EGFR Exon 19del or Exon 21 L858R mutations. It's important that your cancer has previously been treated with the drug osimertinib, but has since started to get worse.
You should generally be well enough to take part in a study like this, meaning you can mostly look after yourself. If you have had cancer spread to your brain, it must have been treated and be stable. Also, any side effects from your previous treatments should have mostly cleared up to a mild level.
Women who could become pregnant will need to have negative pregnancy tests and agree to use effective contraception during the study. The study team will check all these details carefully to make sure it's safe for you to participate.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Are you an adult aged 18 or older?
- Do you have non-small cell lung cancer with specific EGFR gene changes?
- Has your cancer started to grow or spread again after being treated with osimertinib?
- Are you generally well enough to participate in a study?
- If you had cancer spread to your brain, was it treated and is it now stable?
- Are any side effects from your previous treatments mostly mild?
What does participation involve?
If you join this study, you would be randomly assigned to one of several treatment groups. This means neither you nor your doctor can choose which treatment you receive, it's decided by chance, like flipping a coin. You will receive either the new drug combinations with chemotherapy or just chemotherapy. You will have regular visits to the hospital for treatment, which will be given through a drip (intravenous infusion), and to have tests like blood samples and scans (such as CT or MRI scans) to see how you are responding to treatment.
The study will also involve regular check-ups to monitor any side effects and your general health. The length of time you participate will depend on how your cancer responds to the treatment and whether you experience any difficult side effects. After the main part of the study, there might be a chance to continue receiving your assigned treatment if it is helping you. The total duration of active treatment and follow-up will be explained by the study team.

Common questions
What type of lung cancer is this study for?
This study is for a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung carcinoma, specifically with certain changes (mutations) in the EGFR gene.
What does 'osimertinib failure' mean?
It means your lung cancer has started to grow or spread again, even though you have been treated with the medicine osimertinib.
What are the new drugs being tested?
The study is looking at drugs called amivantamab and lazertinib, in combination with standard chemotherapy.
Will I definitely get the new drugs?
No, participants are randomly assigned to different treatment groups, so you might receive the new drugs with chemotherapy, or just standard chemotherapy.
Can I leave the study at any time?
Yes, taking part is voluntary, and you can withdraw from the study at any point without it affecting your future medical care.
