Observation or Upfront Cranial RT in Oncogene Mutated NSCLC With Asymptomatic BM: A Phase III RCT

Study Purpose

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) especially higher generation TKI have higher CNS penetration rates and have shown favorable response rates in brain metastases. Brain radiotherapy/surgery is the standard treatment in brain metastases especially symptomatic metastases, however, the role of local treatment especially in driver mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer with asymptomatic brain metastases is being questioned given their potential side effects. No randomized trial has shown the superiority of early vs.#46;delayed cranial RT in asymptomatic BM of driver mutated NSCLC.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years - 99 Years
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05236946
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 3
