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

A Multi-center, Prospective Study to Determine the Efficiency of Icotinib Combined With Radiation Therapy Early Intervention or Late Intervention For NSCLC Patients With Brain Metastases and EGFR(Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) Mutation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of icotinib alone or in combination with radiation therapy for NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation with brain metastases. The primary endpoint is overall survival .

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Histological or cytological confirmation of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
• Positive EGFR mutation（Ex19del or 21L858R）

• Adequate renal function: Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN, or ≥ 50 ml/min.
• Adequate liver function: Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and -Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) < 2.5 x ULN in the absence of liver metastases, or < 5 x ULN in case of liver metastases.
• Female subjects should not be pregnant.
• All human subjects should able to comply with the required protocol and follow-up procedures, and able to receive oral medications.

Exclusion Criteria:

• CSF or MRI findings consistent with metastases of spinal cord, meninges or meningeal.
• Allergic to Icotinib.

• Participate in the other anti-tumor clinical trials in 4 weeks. have quit from the trail before.
• Any other serious underlying medical, psychological and other condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, may interfere with the planned staging, treatment and follow-up, affect patient compliance or place the patient at high risk from treatment-related complications.
