Lazertinib is an oral third-generation irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has proved to selectively inhibit EGFR-TKI sensitizing mutations (exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R) and be effective in patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases. However, all patients eventually experience disease progression. For patients with MRD, lazertinib plus cytotoxic anticancer drug can prolong the duration of response or even induce complete cure, indicating this combined treatment strategy is considered the safest and most effective. The objective of this phase 2 prospective two-arm clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lazertinib alone or in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy in EGFR-mutant (exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R) NSCLC patients without ctDNA clearance after lead-in lazertinib. If anticancer drugs are used only for patients with MRD, the risk of resistance development will decrease, improving PFS. Hypothesis: to evaluate the efficacy defined as the PFS rate of lazertinib alone or in combination with a cytotoxic anticancer drug in EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients without ctDNA clearance after lead-in lazertinib monotherapy.

Arm A will receive Lazertinib and Pemetrexed, Carboplatin combination. Lazertinib will be given 240 mg once a day daily PO until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Pemetrexed(500 mg/m2) will be administered IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Carboplatin(AUC5) will be administered IV infusions on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until 4 cycles.
Lazertinib will be given 240 mg once a day daily PO until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Progression-free survival
PFS is measured from the date of start of study to the date of disease progression or death from any cause.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months
