New drug cocktail aims to shrink lung tumors before surgery
NCT ID NCT07182708
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking two drugs—firmonertinib (a targeted pill) and bevacizumab (an infusion)—for three months before surgery can shrink tumors in people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutated, stage II-IIIB). After surgery, patients may continue firmonertinib for up to three years. The goal is to see if this approach leads to no cancer cells left in the removed tissue. About 62 adults will take part across multiple centers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Firmonertinib (a targeted cancer pill) and Bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood vessel growth to tumors)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could shrink lung tumors before surgery, potentially making surgery more effective and reducing the chance of cancer coming back.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 study with only 62 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Side effects from the drugs or surgery complications are possible, and the treatment may not work as hoped.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female, aged ≥18 years. 2. Histologically/cytologically confirmed primary non-small cell lung cancer within 60 days prior to the study. 3. Stage II-IIIB disease evaluated by endobronchial ultrasound guided tranbronchial needle aspiration(EBUS-TBNA), mediastinoscopy, or Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT), with lesions planned for radical resection after neoadjuvant therapy. 4. EGFR mutation-positive confirmed by local laboratory testing of tissue or blood samples. 5. Presence of at least one measurable lesion, with a baseline Computed Tomography (CT) scan showing the longest diameter ≥10 mm (except for lymph nodes, which must have a short axis ≥15 mm), and suitable for accurate repeated measurements. 6. ECOG performance status score of 0-1, with no deterioration within 2 weeks prior to the first dose administration. 7. Female patients should adopt fully effective contraceptive measures, must not be breastfeeding, and have a negative pregnancy test before the first administration of the study drug; or female patients must meet the following criteria at screening to confirm the absence of reproductive potential: 8. Postmenopausal, defined as age greater than 50 years and amenorrhea for at least 12 months after cessation of all exogenous hormonal therapies. 9. For women under 50 years of age, they are considered postmenopausal if they have not had a menstrual period for 12 months or more after stopping exogenous hormone therapy, and their luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels are within the postmenopausal range. 10. Documented irreversible sterilization procedures, including hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy, excluding tubal ligation. 11. Male patients should be willing to use barrier contraception, i.e., condoms. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of small cell lung cancer or mixed pathological types of NSCLC. EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation detected by genetic testing. 2. Exposure to any other antitumor therapy prior to enrollment, including perioperative radiotherapy. 3. The patient is in pregnancy or lactation. 4. History of other malignant tumors, or currently combined with other malignant tumors (except for malignancies that have undergone radical surgery with no recurrence within 5 years post-operation, such as cervical carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, and papillary thyroid carcinoma, etc.). 5. Presence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases requiring treatment, which the investigator deems unsuitable for trial participation, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic heart failure (New York Heart Association, NYHA Class III-IV), unstable angina, myocardial infarction within the past year, etc. 6. Severe gastrointestinal dysfunction, diseases, or clinical conditions that may affect the intake, transport, or absorption of the study drug, such as inability to take oral medications, uncontrollable nausea and vomiting, extensive gastrointestinal resection history, etc. 7. Any of the following laboratory tests indicate insufficient bone marrow reserve or organ reserve function. * Absolute neutrophil count \<1.5×10\^9/L * Platelet count \<100×10\^9/L * Hemoglobin \<90 g/L * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>2.5×upper limit of normal (ULN) * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>2.5×ULN * Total bilirubin \>1.5×ULN or \>3×ULN in cases of Gilbert's syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) 8. Known or suspected allergy to almonertinib mesylate, bevacizumab, or any other component of their formulations, or patients with other contraindications. 9. If the patient cannot comply with the study procedures, restrictions, and requirements, or if the investigator deems the patient ineligible or unsuitable for participation in the study for any other reason. 10. Patients currently or previously enrolled in any other anti-tumor clinical studies.
