A Study to Determine the Efficiency For Brain Metastasis NSCLC Patients Treated With Icotinib Alone or Combined With Radiation Therapy

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2018
Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the malignant tumors with the highest incidence of brain metastases, and most patients died due to the progression of brain metastases. Some research show that icotinib combined with radiation therapy can improve the efficiency of NSCLC with brain metastases, but there is still controversial about the timing of radiation therapy intervention . This study is a prospective, multi‐center, randomized, controlled trial of icotinib combined with early intervention or late intervention radiation therapy for NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation with brain metastases. They will be treated with icotinib and divided into 2 groups. Group 1: the radiation therapy will start within 1 month after icotinib treatment; Group2: the patients will be treated with icotinib first, radiation therapy intervene if disease progress.
