Metastatic Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma, Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVA Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVB Lung Cancer AJCC v8
Conditions
Brief summary
This phase Ib trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of osimertinib and tegavivint as first-line therapy in treating patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Osimertinib and tegavivint may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Assess the safety and tolerability of osimertinib (AZD9291) in combination with tegavivint (BC2059) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the objective response rate (ORR) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059. II. Determine the progression free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059. III. Determine the duration of response (DOR) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059. IV. Determine the overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059. CORRELATIVE/EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate biomarkers of EGFR, Notch3, and beta-catenin pathway activity in tumor biopsies and blood samples. II. Assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD9291 and BC2059 in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC. III. Assess circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (ctDNA) at baseline, following 2 and 4 weeks of treatment to evaluate for clearance, and at time of progression to assess for changes in EGFR mutation status. IV. Measure response using computed tomography (CT) tumor volumetry and dynamic positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. V. Identify a gene signature that may be predictive of treatment response or resistance using ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing of tumor tissue. OUTLINE: Patients receive osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle and tegavivint intravenously (IV) over 4 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive osimertinib PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan, CT, fludeoxyglucose F 18 (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), and blood sample collection throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo tissue sample collection on study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 or 90 days and then every 12 weeks for 4 years.

Clinical stability on a stable dose of decadron is permitted * Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment will not interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational drugs are eligible for this trial * Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients must be class 2B or better * Ability to understand and sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion criteria

|---|---|
| Maximum tolerated dose | Up to 28 days |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival | From start of treatment until death of any cause, assessed up to 4 years | Survival will initially be modeled using Kaplan-Meier methods, resulting in median survival times with 95% CI, assuming sufficient events have occurred. |
| Overall response rate (ORR) | Up to 4 years | Defined as patients with complete or partial response using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1. will be calculated as the proportion of patients who achieve a response to therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. An evaluable patient is defined as an eligible patient who has received at least one dose of therapy. All evaluable patients will be included in calculating the ORR for the study along with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals (CIs) (assuming that the number of patients who respond is binomially distributed). |
| Progression free survival | From initiation of therapy to disease progression or death, assessed up to 4 years | Survival will initially be modeled using Kaplan-Meier methods, resulting in median survival times with 95% CI, assuming sufficient events have occurred. |
| Duration of response | From objective response to disease progression or death, assessed up to 4 years | — |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fludeoxyglucose F 18 (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging | Baseline to 4 years | Assessed by static (standardized uptake value \[SUV\]max, average SUV, tumor-to-background ratio, metabolic tumor volume, total lesion glycolysis) and dynamic (net influx rate constant and glucose metabolic rate at 30 and 60 minutes) parameters will be assessed in patients with metastatic EGFR activating mutation positive NSCLC. 18F-FDG-PET parameters will also be summarized at baseline and after treatment using mean +/- SEM, range, and median. The changes in the FDG-PET/computed tomography parameter measurements from baseline to after treatment will be compared between responders and non-responders using two sample t-test or Wilcoxon test, whichever is appropriate. Logistics regression model might also be used to identify potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers beyond any genomic alteration with response to study drugs. |
