his study is a Phase II, multicenter clinical trial evaluating the combination of an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) called Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (SKB264) and brain radiotherapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. All participants have EGFR gene mutations and have experienced disease progression in the brain after prior treatment with a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
The study aims to assess how well this combination therapy controls brain tumor growth and its safety profile. Approximately 53 participants will be enrolled. The treatment involves SKB264 administered intravenously at a dose of 5 mg/kg every two weeks. Participants will receive one to two cycles of SKB264 alone, followed by brain radiotherapy (either stereotactic radiosurgery or whole-brain radiotherapy). SKB264 will be temporarily paused during radiotherapy and resumed afterward.
The study is conducted in two phases: a safety run-in phase with 5 participants to evaluate initial safety using a Bayesian monitoring model, followed by an expansion phase with 48 additional participants. The primary endpoint is intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS) as assessed by investigators using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Secondary endpoints include intracranial objective response rate (iORR), overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. Exploratory endpoints include functional MRI assessments of brain function and cognitive changes, quality of life evaluations using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire, and biomarker analyses.
The study is expected to run from March 2026 to March 2028, with each participant followed for approximately 12 months. This research is sponsored by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
