Brief Summary:
To evaluate the effect of re-administration of gefitinib to EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients who had been treated with at least one line of TKIs followed by another line of treatment (non-TKI)
Detailed Description:
Rationale: Gefitinib is a registered first-line treatment for EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients. There is a lack of evidence for second and third line therapies in this category of patients. Several case reports have described successful re-administration of gefitinib to NSCLC patients who achieved objective response with the initial administration of gefitinib before eventual progression.
Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the disease control rate (DCR; confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD)) of gefitinib using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.1 in patients with activating sensitising Epidermal Growth Factor mutation positive (EGFR M+) NSCLC. The secondary objectives of the study are: objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST, progression free survival (PFS) according to RECIST, overall Survival (OS), EGFR Mutational status of tumour tissue both activating and resistance EGFR mutations analysis and the association between the Veristrat assay (Biodesix) and both PFS and OS will be assessed.
