Brief summary

This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well afatinib works in treating patients with cancer that has certain genetic changes. Afatinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It is used in patients whose cancer has a certain mutation (change) in the EGFR gene. It works by blocking the action of mutated EGFR that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps to stop or slow the spread of cancer cells.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the proportion of patients with objective response (OR) to targeted study agent(s) in patients with advanced refractory cancers/lymphomas/multiple myeloma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the proportion of patients alive and progression free at 6 months of treatment with targeted study agent in patients with advanced refractory cancers/lymphomas/multiple myeloma. II. To evaluate time until death or disease progression. III. To identify potential predictive biomarkers beyond the genomic alteration by which treatment is assigned or resistance mechanisms using additional genomic, ribonucleic acid (RNA), protein and imaging-based assessment platforms. IV. To assess whether radiomic phenotypes obtained from pre-treatment imaging and changes from pre- through post-therapy imaging can predict objective response and progression free survival and to evaluate the association between pre-treatment radiomic phenotypes and targeted gene mutation patterns of tumor biopsy specimens. OUTLINE: Patients receive afatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening and on study, as well as during follow-up as clinically necessary. Patients also undergo echocardiography (ECHO) or nuclear study throughout the trial as clinically necessary. Patients undergo biopsies and blood sample collection on study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 1 year. THE MATCH SCREENING TRIAL: Please see NCT02465060 for information on the MATCH Screening Protocol and applicable documents.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients must have met applicable eligibility criteria in the Master MATCH Protocol EAY131/ NCI-2015-00054 prior to registration to treatment subprotocol * Patients must fulfill all eligibility criteria of MATCH Master Protocol at the time of registration to treatment step (Step 1, 3, 5, 7) * Patient's tumor must have either of the below, or another aberration, as determined via the MATCH Master Protocol: * Activating mutations of EGFR (del 19, L858R) OR * Any malignancy harboring any of the following mutations: EGFR G719A, G719C, G719D, G719S EGFR L861Q, EGFR S768I * Tumors with an exon 20 insertion alone without the above mutations will be excluded, with the exception of exon 20 insertions approved as inclusion variants as part of the dynamic actionable mutation of interest (aMOI) process * Patients must have an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to treatment assignment and must have no clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG (e.g. complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block) * Patients with known left ventricular dysfunction must have ECHO or a nuclear study (multigated acquisition scan \[MUGA\] or first pass) within 4 weeks prior to registration to treatment and must not have left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< institutional lower limit of normal (LLN). If the LLN is not defined at a site, the LVEF must be \> 50% for the patient to be eligible * NOTE: Pre-treatment LVEF determination in patients without known left ventricular dysfunction is NOT otherwise required * Patients must not have known hypersensitivity to afatinib or compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition * Patients must have =\< grade 1 renal function as defined below: * Creatinine =\< 1.5 x normal institutional limits OR * Measured creatinine clearance \>= 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal or as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation * The above renal eligibility criteria should be strictly followed and will override the MATCH Master Protocol requirements * Patients must not have had prior treatment with an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (e.g. afatinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, neratinib, dacomitinib, AZD9291, cabertinib, CO-1686) * Patients with non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer will be excluded * Patients with a history of interstitial lung disease will be excluded * Patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) will be excluded * Patients must have =\< grade 1 diarrhea at baseline

Objective Response Rate (ORR)Tumor assessments occurred at baseline, then every 2 cycles for the first 26 cycles and every 3 cycles thereafter until disease progression, up to 3 years post registrationORR is defined as the percentage of patients whose tumors have a complete or partial response to treatment among analyzable patients. Objective response is defined consistent with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1, the Cheson (2014) criteria for lymphoma patients, and the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology criteria for glioblastoma patients. Details about how to define complete response and partial response can be found in the master protocol. 90% two-sided binomial exact confidence interval is calculated for ORR.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Subprotocol A was activated on August 12, 2015. Nineteen patients were enrolled between February 2018 and January 2020. All patients were enrolled though the outside laboratory and had their samples centrally confirmed.

Pre-assignment details

EGFR variants allowing entry into subprotocol A included classic activating deletion 19 and L858R EGFR mutations, EGFR G719A, G719C, G719D, G719S, L861Q, and S768I. The mutation status was determined by a CLIA-approved assay performed in an NCI-MATCH approved laboratory, these cases had to be confirmed to be used in primary analysis.
