About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Phase 3 Clinical Study of ASKC202 Plus Limertinib Versus Osimertinib for First-Line Therapy for Patients With EGFRm+/MET+ Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASKC202 combined with limertinib as the first-line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC
Read the detailed description
This is a randomized, controlled, multicenter, Phase 3 clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASKC202 plus limertinib (double-blind Arm A) versus osimertinib (double-blind Arm B) as first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC harboring EGFR sensitizing mutations (19Del or 21 L858R) and MET protein overexpression. In addition, Arm C (open-label) will concurrently evaluate the efficacy and safety of osimertinib plus pemetrexed and cisplatin or carboplatin as first-line treatment for patients with EGFRm+/MET+ locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC.
Eligible participants will be stratified by EGFR mutation status (19Del vs. L858R) and brain metastasis (yes vs. no) and randomly assigned in a 2:2:1 ratio to Arm A, Arm B, or Arm C. Participants in each arm will receive the corresponding study treatment (21-day cycle) until disease progression, death, intolerable toxicity, or fulfillment of any other protocol-defined treatment discontinuation criterion, whichever occurs first.

Measured: 3 years
Overall Survival (OS)
The time from the date of randomization to the date of death.
Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing ASKC202, osimertinib and pemetrexed in people with EGFR Activating Mutation and Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), run by Jiangsu Aosaikang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Jiangsu Aosaikang Study Director (+86 025 52169999, ctr-contact@ask-pharm.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) by BICR (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Oct 2026.
