It will enrol more than 400 patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed after receiving a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor osimertinib.
Summit will enrol subjects from the US, Canada and Europe while its partner Akeso will be responsible for enrolment in China, which started earlier.
Two primary endpoints of the study are overall survival and progression-free survival.
