Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between TCM body constitution patterns (called "syndromes") and the effectiveness of EGFR-TKI targeted drugs in patients with lung cancer. Approximately 3000 patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer who are about to start or are already taking EGFR-TKI drugs as part of their regular medical care will be invited to join. Participants will be followed for up to 5 years. During routine clinic visits, researchers will collect their TCM information (such as tongue images and pulse readings) and store small samples of their blood, stool, and tongue coating for future research.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Advanced Cohort

Participants in this cohort are patients with stage IIIb-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring an EGFR sensitizing mutation, who are receiving or are planned to receive first-line EGFR-TKI therapy within 2 weeks as their first-line treatment.

EGFR-TKI

Intervention Type DRUG

Standard treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., gefitinib, erlotinib, osimertinib) for NSCLC. The study observes its association with TCM syndrome patterns.

Postoperative Cohort

Participants in this cohort are patients who have undergone complete surgical resection (R0) for NSCLC with an EGFR sensitizing mutation and who are receiving or are planned to receive adjuvant EGFR-TKI therapy within 2 weeks as their postoperative treatment.

EGFR-TKI

Intervention Type DRUG

Standard treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., gefitinib, erlotinib, osimertinib) for NSCLC. The study observes its association with TCM syndrome patterns.
