First Patient Dosed in Ph 3 ALPACCA Trial of Firmonertinib in 1L EGFR PACC Mutant NSCLC
“Initiation of our pivotal Phase 3 ALPACCA trial marks an important milestone in our strategy to expand the global reach of firmonertinib,” said Bing Yao, Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ArriVent. “Patients with EGFR PACC mutant NSCLC currently have limited treatment options and represent a clear unmet medical need.
