Osimertinib and Necitumumab in Treating Patients With EGFR-Mutant Stage IV or Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Progressed on a Previous EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT02496663

Purpose

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of necitumumab when given together with osimertinib in treating patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) and who have progressed on a previous EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as necitumumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving necitumumab with osimertinib may be a better treatment for EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.

   L858R, Exon 19 deletion, Exon 18 G719X, Exon 21 L861Q or for EGFR Exon 20 insertion
   expansion cohort D, NSCLC must harbor an EGFR Exon 20 insertion performed by a
   Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) certified test

   - For Dose escalation cohort - progressive disease on at least one prior EGFR-TKI
   (previous treatment with 3rd generation EGFR-TKI including osimertinib (AZD9291)
   allowed for dose escalation)

   gefitinib or afatinib as last previous systemic treatment, 2) have biopsy of tumor
   taken after progression on erlotinib, gefitinib or afatinib which must be EGFR-T790M
   negative confirmed by central testing prior to treatment (if EGFR-T790M status is
   unknown, patients may consent for trial and for biopsy and testing for EGFR T790M will
   be performed as part of initial biopsy for trial), and 3) be treatment naive to 3rd
   generation EGFR-TKI (rociletinib, EGFR inhibitor HM61713 [HM61713] and osimertinib
   [AZD9291]) and EGFR monoclonal antibodies

   tumor taken after progression on last EGFR-TKI that indicates loss of EGFR-T790M
   (EGFR-T790M negative) confirmed by central testing prior to treatment (if EGFR-T790M
   status is unknown, patients may consent for trial and for biopsy, and testing for EGFR
   T790M will be performed as part of initial biopsy for trial)

   - For Dose Expansion Cohort C: patient must 1) have progression of disease on a 3rd
   generation EGFR-TKI such as osimertinib (AZD9291), rociletinib, HM61713, 2) be

   biopsy for trial)

   - For Dose Expansion Cohort D: patient must 1) tumor that harbors an EGFR Exon 20
   insertion by a CLIA certified test, and 2) have progressive disease on or after
   platinum based chemotherapy, and 3) be treatment naïve to 3rd generation and beyond
   EGFR-TKI (i.e., osimertinib [AZD9291], poziotinib, TAK-778) and EGFR monoclonal
   antibody; patient who received 1st or 2nd generation EGFR-TKI (such as erlotinib,
   gefitinib, afatinib) are eligible provided that they did not achieve a response to
   treatment or they did not have a duration of treatment on EGFR-TKI of 6 months or more

   - For Dose Expansion Cohort E: patient must have progressive disease on osimertinib

   treatment naive to EGFR-monoclonal antibody

   - Adequate archival tissue from a biopsy performed after progression of disease on
   previous EGFR-TKI or willing to consent for a fresh tumor biopsy; (mandatory for
   Cohorts A, B, C; optional for dose escalation and Cohort D, and Cohort E)

   least one dimension >= 10 mm (>= 1 cm) by computed tomography (CT) imaging or magnetic
   resonance imaging (MRI) within 42 days prior to registration; the CT from a combined
   positron emission tomography (PET)/CT may be used only if it is of diagnostic;
   laboratory parameters are not acceptable as the only evidence of disease

   - Any number of prior therapies is allowed

   - Age >= 18 years. NSCLC is exceedingly rare in patients < 18 years of age. Because no
   dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of and necitumumab in
   patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study

   - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 1

   - Creatinine clearance >= 50 mL/min

   - The effects of osimertinib (AZD9291) and necitumumab on the developing human fetus are
   unknown; for this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use
   adequate contraception using one of the methods listed below prior to study entry, for
   the duration of study participation, and for 3 months for women and 6 months for men
   following the date of the last dose of osimertinib (AZD9291) and/or necitumumab:

      - Total abstinence from sexual intercourse (minimum one complete menstrual cycle
      prior to study drug administration);

      - Vasectomized male subject or vasectomized partner of female subjects

      - Hormonal contraceptives (oral, parenteral, transdermal or vaginal ring) prior to
      study drug administration; if the subject is currently using a hormonal
      contraceptive, she should also use a barrier method during this study and for 3
      months after study completion;

      - Intrauterine device (IUD);

      - Double-barrier method: male condom plus diaphragm or vaginal cap with spermicide

   pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this
   study, she should inform her treating physician immediately

   - Patients with untreated brain metastases are allowed provided that the patient is
   clinically asymptomatic and stable; patients with a prior history of symptomatic brain
   metastases are eligible provided:

      - The brain metastases have been treated

      - The patient is asymptomatic from the brain metastases at enrollment

      - Corticosteroids prescribed for the management of brain metastases have been
      discontinued at least 7 days prior to registration

      - The brain metastases are stable on pre-registration imaging

   - Patients must have completed last chemotherapy >= 3 weeks or radiotherapy >= 2 weeks
   prior to receiving study drugs

   - Patients must have recovered from adverse events attributable to previous treatment to

Exclusion Criteria:

   - Major surgery within 21 days of starting protocol treatment

   - Patients must discontinue previous EGFR-TKI at least 7 days prior to study enrollment
   with the exception that patients on osimertinib (AZD9291) for cohorts B, C and E can
   continue osimertinib (AZD9291) and need not discontinue prior to enrollment

   - Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents; patients must have
   discontinued any other investigational agents for at least 5 half-lives or 3 months,
   whichever is greater, prior to initiation of osimertinib (AZD9291) in an
   investigational setting

   - Past medical history of interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial lung
   disease, radiation pneumonitis requiring steroid treatment, or any evidence of
   clinically active interstitial lung disease

   - Patients currently receiving (or unable to stop use prior to receiving the first dose
   of study treatment) medications or herbal supplements known to be potent inducers of
   CYP3A4 (at least 3 weeks prior); all patients must try to avoid concomitant use of any
   medications, herbal supplements and/or ingestion of foods with known inducer effects
   of CYP3A4

   - Patients with active malignancies other than NSCLC or prior curatively treated
   malignancy at high risk of relapse during the study period with the exception of
   localized squamous or basal cell skin cancers

   - Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
   infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
   arrhythmia, gastrointestinal disease limiting absorption of osimertinib (AZD9291) such
   as a malabsorption syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease or psychiatric
   illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

   - Mean resting corrected QT interval (QTc using Fridericia's formula [QTcF]) > 470 msec

   - Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting
   electrocardiography (ECG) (e.g., complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart
   block, second degree heart block)

   - Any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events
   such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of
   long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age in first degree
   relatives or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval and cause
   torsades de pointes

   - Left ventricular ejection fraction < 50% on echocardiogram or multi-gated acquisition
   (MUGA)

   - The effects of osimertinib (AZD9291) and necitumumab on the developing human fetus are
   unknown; for this reason and because EGFR inhibitors are known to be teratogenic,
   pregnant women are excluded from this study; because there is an unknown but potential
   risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother
   osimertinib (AZD9291) and necitumumab breastfeeding should be discontinued if the
   mother is treated with osimertinib (AZD9291) and necitumumab; these potential risks
   may also apply to other agents used in this study

   - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral
   therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with
   osimertinib (AZD9291)
