Brief Summary

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) that targets Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations. Unfortunately, despite the benefit observed for patients treated with EGFR-TKI, the vast majority of cancers are expected to develop resistance to the drug over time. The exact reasons why resistance develops are not fully understood but based upon clinical research it is hoped that combining PLB1004 with another type of anti-cancer therapy known as chemotherapy will delay the onset of resistance and the worsening of a patient's cancer.

In recent years, clinical studies on the combination of EGFR-TKI and chemotherapy have made important progress, suggesting that the combination of EGFR-TKI and chemotherapy further enhances the therapeutic benefit in EGFR-mutant positive NSCLC.

Both preclinical and clinical data indicate that PLB1004 exhibit good antitumor activity and relatively durable efficacy in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations. They can reduce tumor burden, control tumor progression, and improve the survival benefit of patients, which is expected to provide an effective treatment option for such patients.

Detailed Description

This study is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion Ib/II phase study, aiming to evaluate the clinical safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy of PLB1004 combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations. The study consists of two parts: the phase Ib dose-escalation study and dose-expansion study, as well as the phase II clinical study. The target population of the phase Ib study is patients with confirmed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations who have received or not received systemic antitumor therapy. The II phase clinical study sets up two cohorts. Cohort 1: patients with confirmed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations who have received or not received systemic antitumor therapy; Cohort 2: patients with newly diagnosed resectable stage II-III NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations who have not received systemic antitumor therapy. A total of 79-108 patients are planned to be enrolled in the study, which is divided into a screening period, a treatment period and a follow-up period. During the administration of the study drug, follow-up will be conducted every 6 weeks in the first year and every 12 weeks from the second year onwards.
