Brief summary

This study (the SAVANNAH study) will investigate the efficacy of osimertinib in combination with savolitinib in patients with EGFRm+ and MET+, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed following treatment with osimertinib

Detailed description

The combination of osimertinib with savolitinib in this study (the SAVANNAH study) will explore if the combination will overcome MET-amplification as a mechanism of resistance. The SAVANNAH study will investigate the efficacy of osimertinib in combination with savolitinib in patients with EGFRm+ and MET-amplified/overexpressed, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed following treatment with osimertinib. Eligible patients will be those with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of EGFRm+, MET amplified/overexpressed (FISH10+ and/or IHC90+) NSCLC that is locally advanced or metastatic and is not amenable to further surgery or radiotherapy with curative intent. The disease must have progressed following treatment with first line osimertinib. Patients must have confirmation of MET-amplified/overexpressed tumour by central FISH and IHC testing (requirements summarised in the main body of the protocol and fully explained in the Central Laboratory Manual). Patients must not have received prior or current treatment with savolitinib or another MET inhibitor. All patients confirmed as eligible will begin treatment on Day 1 with osimertinib + savolitinib combination therapy or placebo to osimertinib + savolitinib. Treatment will continue in 28 day cycles until either objective disease progression by investigator per RECIST 1.1 is assessed, unacceptable toxicity occurs, consent is withdrawn or another discontinuation criterion is met.

Intervention model description

Under Protocol versions 1-6 the study model was single arm (open-label). Starting protocol version 7 patients will be randomised in a double blinded manner to receive savolitinib in combination with osimertinib or savolitinib with placebo to osimertinib with crossover option upon disease progression assessed by Investigator.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients must be ≥18 years of age (≥20 years of age in Japan). All genders are permitted. * Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic EGFRm+ NSCLC harbouring an EGFR mutation known to be associated with EGFR TKI sensitivity and permitted in the osimertinib national label (such as either exon 19 deletion and/or L858R) which is not amenable to curative therapy. * Documented radiologic disease progression on 1L osimertinib. * MET amplification and/or overexpression (FISH10+ and/or IHC90+) as determined by FISH (central) and IHC (central) testing on tumour sample collected following progression on 1L osimertinib treatment. * Available tumour sample for central MET FISH and IHC analysis or willingness to collect additional sample for central testing which fulfils the following requirements: Obtained following progression on previous osimertinib therapy; obtained within 2 years of submission for MET analysis; sufficient tissue to meet the minimum tissue requirement defined in the current Laboratory Manual. * At least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, not biopsied during the screening period, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have short axis ≥15 mm) with CT or MRI which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements. If only 1 measurable lesion exists, it is acceptable to be used as long as baseline tumour assessment scans are done at least 14 days after the screening tumour sample collection is performed. * Prior lines of therapy in locally advanced/metastatic setting: Only prior 1L osimertinib treatment in metastatic setting is permitted. * Adequate haematological function defined as: * Absolute neutrophil count ≥1500/μL * Haemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (no transfusion in the past 2 weeks) * Platelets ≥100,000/μL (no transfusion in the past 10 days) * Adequate liver function * ALT, AST ≤2.5 x ULN with TBL ≤ ULN OR * TBL \>ULN to ≤1.5x ULN with ALT and AST ≤ ULN * Adequate renal function - defined as a serum creatinine \<1.5 times the institutional ULN OR a glomerular filtration rate ≥50 mL/min. Confirmation of creatinine clearance is only required when creatinine is only required when creatinine is \>1.5 times ULN. * Adequate coagulation parameters: INR \<1.5 and activated partial thromboplastin time \<1.5 x ULN unless patients are receiving therapeutic anti coagulation which affects these parameters. * Patients with known tumour thrombus or deep vein thrombosis are eligible if clinically stable on low molecular weight heparin for ≥2 weeks.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Recruitment for the study involved prescreening with central FISH/IHC for MET amplification/overexpression. Eligible participants (FISH5+/IHC50+ for CSP v1.0-v6.0; FISH10+/IHC90+ for CSP v7.0) proceeded to screening for full eligibility. After screening, assignment or randomization to a treatment cohort depended on the applicable CSP version.

Pre-assignment details

One site inadvertently processed a dosing transaction in IxRS causing the PRF enrollment number (367) to be higher than the enrollment number in the PRF (366).
