5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To explore the survival benefit of the gefitinib combined with radiotherapy as adjuvant therapy for completely resected patients with Pathological stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC harbouring sensitive mutations of EGFR.
Detailed Description
Cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy is standard of care for patients with stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Activating somatic mutations of the tyrosine kinase domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have been characterized in a subset of patients with advanced NSCLC. The recently study of gefitinib (G) versus vinorelbine+cisplatin (VP) as adjuvant treatment in stage II-IIIA (N1-N2) NSCLC with EGFR-activating mutation (ADJUVANT)shows that G had significantly longer median DFS (28.7 months) than VP (18.0months). 3-year DFS was significantly better with G (34.0% vs 27.0%; p= 0.013) and subgroup analysis of patients treated with G, lymph node status (pN1/N2) demonstrated significant correlation with DFS. At present, postoperative radiotherapy has been widely used in the treatment of all kinds of cancer, and the guidelines also recommend postoperative radiotherapy for stage IIIA-pN2 NSCLC. The retrospective study of Lee et. al. reported on the use of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) as first strategy after resection of stage IIIA-pN2 NSCLC. The result showed that the five-year overall OS was significantly higher in patients treated with PORT and postoperative chemotherapy (POCT) than in patients treated with PORT alone. This open-label phase II trial is studying gefitinib combined with radiotherapy to see how well it works in treating patients who have undergone surgery for Pathological stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC with EGFR activating mutation.
