Summary

This trial is studying osimertinib vs platinum-based doublet chemotherapy to see if they are better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer whose disease has progressed with previous epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy and whose tumors contain a T790M mutation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has worsened after treatment with EGFR TKI therapy and have a specific mutation (T790M) in their cancer. They should be relatively healthy, able to receive chemotherapy, and not have had certain recent treatments or multiple lines of NSCLC treatment.
What is being tested?
The study compares Osimertinib, a targeted cancer drug, against standard platinum-based chemotherapy in patients whose lung cancer has progressed despite previous treatments. It's an open-label and randomized trial meaning both the researchers and participants know which treatment is being given.
What are the potential side effects?
Osimertinib may cause diarrhea, rash, dry skin, nail changes or mouth sores. Chemotherapy can lead to nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue and increased risk of infection. Side effects vary from person to person.
