Summary
This trial tests whether taking firmonertinib after surgery can help prevent non-small cell lung cancer from coming back in people with certain uncommon EGFR mutations. Participants who had their tumor completely removed will receive either firmonertinib or a placebo daily. The study aims to see if the drug extends the time before the cancer returns.
