Beamion LUNG-3: Adjuvant Zongertinib vs Standard Treatment in People With Completely Resected Stage II-IIIB NSCLC Harboring Activating HER2 TKD Mutations

What this study is about

Beamion LUNG-3 study evaluates whether zongertinib, an oral HER2-targeted treatment, can improve outcomes compared with standard adjuvant treatment in adults with completely resected Stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have activating HER2 tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations. Eligible participants must have undergone curative-intent surgery and received guideline-appropriate perioperative systemic therapy, either neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy, or adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy. Participants are randomized 1:1 to receive zongertinib or standard of care, which may consist of approved adjuvant immunotherapy or active surveillance, based on local practice guidelines. The main purpose of the study is to determine whether zongertinib can prolong disease-free survival compared to standard treatment. Safety and patient-reported outcomes are also assessed.

Who can join (things the study team will check)

✅ You may be able to join if…

• Patients must be ≥18 years old or over the legal age of consent in their country
• Male or female patients. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be ready and able to use dual highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information and in the study protocol
• HER2 mutation: Documented Tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) activating Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutations
• Histology and tumor sample: Histologically confirmed diagnosis of primary NSCLC
• An archival tumor tissue sample must be submitted to the central laboratory after inclusion of the patient to retrospectively confirm the HER2 status
• Staging: Pretherapeutic classification not exceeding Stage IIIB
• Performance status and organ function:
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1
  • Adequate organ function based on laboratory values Further inclusion criteria apply.
