The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of YK-029A as first-line treatment with that of platinum-based chemotherapy in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors has epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups YK-029A group or Platinum-based chemotherapy group. Participants will receive YK-029A orally and pemetrexed/cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin via vein until the participants experience worsening disease (PD) as assessed by blinded independent review committee (IRC), intolerable harmful effects or another discontinuation criteria.
The drug being tested in this study is called YK-029A. YK-029A is being tested to evaluate the efficacy as a first line treatment compare with platinum-based chemotherapy in the participants with locally advanced or NSCLC whose tumors harbor EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. The study will enroll 350 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups-YK-029A Group (Arm A) or Platinum-based Chemotherapy Group (Arm B). The participants will be administered with YK-029A orally in arm A and pemetrexed/cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin intravenously (IV) in arm B until the participants experience progressive disease (PD) as assessed by blinded independent review committee (IRC), intolerable toxicity or another discontinuation criteria. Participants in the chemotherapy group should not be allowed to cross over to treatment with YK-029A after IRC-assessed PD is documented. Randomized treatment with YK-029A or platinum-based chemotherapy may be continued after PD, at the discretion of the investigator and with the sponsor's approval, if there is still evidence of clinical benefit. This multi-center trial will be conducted in China . The overall time to participate in this study is until 3 years after the last participant is randomized. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic and will be followed for survival, subsequent anticancer therapy, subsequent disease assessment outcome until disease progression on a subsequent anticancer therapy, and participant-reported health status (EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-LC13) for 3 years after the last participant is randomized in the study and 30 days after the last dose of study drug for safety follow-up.

YK-029A 200 milligram (mg) , orally without food,once daily until the participants experience PD as assessed by blinded IRC, intolerable toxicity, or another discontinuation criteria.
Participants randomized into chemotherapy arm can receive up to 6 cycles of pemetrexed + carboplatin (pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 + carboplatin area under the plasma concentration-time curve 5 mg/ml per minute (AUC5), IV infusion, every 3 weeks) as the initial treatment. Participants whose disease has not progressed after 4 cycles of first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy may receive pemetrexed maintenance monotherapy until a treatment discontinuation criterion is met.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Review Committee (IRC) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 .
PFS is defined as the time interval from the date of randomization until the first date at which the criteria for progressive disease (PD) according to RECIST Version 1.1 are met or death, whichever occurs first.
Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months after the first participant is randomized.
Confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Review Committee (IRC) per RECIST Version 1.1
Confirmed ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who are confirmed to have achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Confirmed responses are responses that persist on repeat imaging ≥4 weeks after initial response.
Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months after the first participant is randomized.
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the interval from the date of randomization until death.
Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months after the first participant is randomized.
Progression Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the Investigator
PFS is defined as the time interval from the date of randomization until the first date at which the criteria for PD according to RECIST Version 1.1 are met or death, whichever occurs first.
Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months after the first participant is randomized.
Confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by the Investigator
Confirmed ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who are confirmed to have achieved CR or PR. Confirmed responses are responses that persist on repeat imaging ≥4 weeks after initial response.
Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months after the first participant is randomized.
Duration of Response, as Assessed by the Blinded Independent Review Committee (IRC) and the Investigator.
Duration of response is defined as the time interval from the time that the measurement criteria are first met for CR/PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that PD or death (whichever occurs first) is objectively documented.
Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months after the first participant is randomized.
Disease Control Rate (DCR) as Assessed by the Blinded Independent Review Committee (IRC) and the Investigator
DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who have achieved CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) (in the case of SD, measurements must have met the SD criteria at least once after study entry at a minimum interval of 6 weeks) after the initiation of study drug.
Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months after the first participant is randomized.
Patient-reported Symptoms, Functioning, and Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as Assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30
EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific questionnaire which comprises of 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning); 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea/vomiting); and a global health status/quality-of-life (QoL) scale. Six single-item scales are also included (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Raw scores will be converted into scale scores ranging from 0 to 100. For the functional scales and the global health status/QoL scale, higher scores represent better HRQoL, whereas for the symptom scales lower scores represent better HRQoL (i.e., a low level of symptomatology/problems).
Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months after the first participant is randomized.
Participant-reported Symptoms as Assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire, Lung Cancer Module (QLQ-LC13).
EORTC QLQ-LC13 is a cancer-specific questionnaire which comprises of 13 questions assessing lung cancer-associated symptoms (cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, and site-specific pain), treatment-related side effects (sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, and alopecia), and use of pain medication. Raw scores will be converted into scale scores ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores represent a high level of symptomatology/problems.
Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months after the first participant is randomized.
