To explore the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant furmonertinib combined with bevacizumab in the treatment of resectable and potentially resectable stage III-IVA EGFR mutation-positive lung adenocarcinoma.

The best treatment for lung cancer is still radical resection, which is indicated for stage I-II and some stage III patients, but surgery is only suitable for 20-25% of NSCLC patients. Furmonertinib is a third-generation TKI drug. Compared with first and second-generation TKI drugs, it has good benefits in the Chinese population, patients with brain metastases, and patients with 19del/L858R mutation, with better and longer-lasting effects, and can significantly improve the progression-free survival of patients. Neoadjuvant therapy can shrink the tumor, increase the rate of complete surgical resection, remove micrometastases, and reduce the risk of recurrence. Cases of patients with locally advanced (IIIA-N2) NSCLC have been reported with neoadjuvant TKI therapy, and it has been found that neoadjuvant TKI therapy can downgrade or even complete tumor remission. However, for locally advanced potentially resectable, or EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC patients with single-organ metastasis, the efficacy of third-generation EGFR-TKI combined with VEFGR inhibitor combined with targeted therapy after induction and surgery is still unclear. Limited clinical research data suggest that this new treatment mode (induction therapy-surgery-adjuvant therapy) can significantly improve the progression-free survival of patients. However, the overall survival rate under the new treatment mode and the promotion of clinical work urgently need higher-level clinical evidence to support clinical decision-making.

It refers to the proportion of patients who have had a complete response or partial response (according to RECIST1.1) as confirmed by CT evaluation after 3 weeks in all patients who have completed the neoadjuvant therapy. Only patients with measurable lesions at baseline will be analyzed.

It refers to the time from radical surgery to relapse or death of a participant due to disease progression. In the case of a patient who still survives at the time of analysis, the latest evaluation date will be used for interpolation (censoring).

It is defined as the time from enrollment to death of participant due to any cause. In the case of a patient who still survives at the time of analysis, the date of last contact will be taken as the censoring date. In the event of a patient with the survival status unknown, the date when the patient is last known to be alive will be used for interpolation (censoring).

The assessment is made according to the Quality of Life Scale for Lung Cancer Patients (EORTC-QLQ-C30 \& LC13, Version 3). EORTC's QLQ-C30 \& LC13 (V3.0) is a core scale for lung cancer patients, with a total of 43 items. Among them, Item 29 and 30 are divided into seven grades, which are assigned with 1 to 7 scores according to the answer options. The other items are divided into 4 grades: Not at All, A Little, Quite a Bit, and Very Much, assigned with 1 to 4 scores respectively. The higher score, the worse quality.

It refers to the time from the first administration of SHR1316 in this study to the disease progression or death (including any cause of death in the case of no progression) , regardless of whether the patient exits from the treatment or receives other anti-cancer treatment before progression.

It is defined as the proportion of patients with negative surgical margin and no residual found under microscope after resection in all patients who have completed the treatment.

It is defined as the proportion of patients who have completed the 8-week treatment with afatinib before operation and have achieved a T stage downing of the tumor as confirmed by CT evaluation after 3 weeks in all patients who have completed the treatment.

It refers to the number of adverse events related to furmonertinib plus bevacizumab therapy or furmonertinib monotherapy as evaluated according to CTCAE v4.0.

It refers to the number of cases with no residual invasive cancer in the primary tumor and lymph node HE staining accounted for the proportion of all patients who completed the treatment.

①Neoadjuvant treatment stage: the enrolled patients take afatinib at a dosage of 40mg per day, 8-16 weeks in total; and receive CT scan re-examination in the 4th/8th/12th post-therapy week.

②Surgical treatment stage: the patients who respond to alfatinib treatment (CR+PR) and the patients who do not respond to alfatinib therapy but could still undergo surgery (SD and PD) will receive radical lung lobectomy+systematic lymph node dissection.

③Adjuvant treatment stage: The CR, PR and SD patients who have been treated surgically will take alfatinib at a dosage of 40mg per day for at least 1 year. The SD and PD patients who could not receive operation and the PD patients who have received operation will be transferred into medical oncology or/and radiation oncology and receive comprehensive therapy (chemotherapy or/and radiotherapy, the regimen is designed by oncologist and radiologist)

In general, for patients with stage I or II disease, surgery provides the best chance for cure.EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)are standard first-line treatment for EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC.Afatinib was a 2nd-generation EGFR TKI that covalently bound and irreversibly blocked signaling through activated EGFR, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and ErbB4 receptors, and the FDA has approved afatinib for first-line treatment of patients with metastatic NSCLC who have sensitizing EGFR mutations.The treatment of stage III NSCLC remains a matter of debate. Current multimodality treatment options for stage III included definitive chemoradiation, surgery followed by adjuvant therapy,or neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgical resection.Previous studies have revealed that adjuvant EGFR-TKI could significantly prolong disease free surivival, and have less toxicity than adjuvant chemotherapy for early resectable EGFR mutation positive NSCLC patients.EMERGING-CTONG1103 regarding neoadjuvant erlotinib vs chemotherapy (Gemcitabine plus cisplatin) for stage III NSCLC reveal that erlotinib has improved ORR (54%), major pathological response, operation rate, R0 resection and lymph node downstaging, and progression-free survival (PFS).A phase II trial (ASCENT) of neoadjuvant afatinib for stage III EGFR-mutation NSCLC concludes that afatinib yields the highest ORR (75%) up to now and verifies the feasibility of neoadjuvant EGFR TKIs for stage III NSCLC. However, no more studies are available so far to confirm the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant afatinib in the treatment of resectable stage III EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC, and there is a lack of studies based on the Chinese population. Given that the neoadjuvant therapy has delayed the operation time and there is a potential risk of cancer progression, more data are needed to perform evaluation.
