Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 27 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2016-08-30
• Study Completion Date: 2023-12-04

Brief Summary

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of osimertinib and navitoclax when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with previously treated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-positive non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has not responded to previous treatment with initial EGFR kinase inhibitor. Osimertinib and navitoclax may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the safety and tolerability of osimertinib (AZD9291) in combination with navitoclax in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following resistance to prior EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR TKI).

II. To evaluate the feasibility of treatment with AZD9291 plus navitoclax for patients with T790M-mediated acquired resistance to EGFR TKI.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To study the pharmacokinetic profile of the combination of AZD9291 plus navitoclax.

II. To observe and record anti-tumor activity.

CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:

I. To study plasma genotype levels as a response biomarker in patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer.

II. To explore tissue biomarkers of apoptosis and their association with treatment response.

OUTLINE: This is a phase Ib, dose-escalation study followed by a dose-expansion study.

Patients receive navitoclax orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and osimertinib PO QD on days 4-28 (days 1-28 during dose-expansion). Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Histologically confirmed non-squamous NSCLC, with incurable advanced or metastatic disease
• Prior genotyping positive for an EGFR activating mutation (L858R, exon 19 deletion, G719X, L861Q)
• Progression after prior treatment with an EGFR TKI; in addition to this one prior line of therapy, any additional prior lines of therapy are permitted; prior treatment with a third-generation EGFR TKI is allowed for the dose escalation phase, but is not permitted for the expansion cohort
• Adequate archival tissue from a biopsy performed after progression of disease on previous EGFR TKI; or willing to undergo a new tumor biopsy prior to registration (for the dose escalation portion only this requirement can be waived if T790M status has already been determined using a local assay)
• For the dose expansion portion only, patient must: 1) have a tumor which is EGFR-T790M positive and 2) be treatment naive to T790M-directed EGFR TKI (e.g. AZD9291, rociletinib, etc); T790M testing may be done locally or centrally on study, but if done locally, tissue must be available for central confirmation
• Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)
• Any number of prior therapies are 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 AZD9291 in combination with navitoclax in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 1 (Karnofsky >= 70%)
• Patients must have the ability to swallow oral dosage forms
• Life expectancy of greater than 3 months
• Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL
• Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL
• Hemoglobin >= 8.0 g/dL
• Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
• Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT) =< 1.2 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN (patients with Gilbert's syndrome may have serum bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN)
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 3.0 x institutional ULN
• Creatinine =< 2.0 mg/dL OR
• Creatinine clearance >= 50 mL/min
• The effects of AZD9291 and navitoclax 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 AZD9291 and/or navitoclax:

• 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) for at least 3 months 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 (contraceptive sponge, jellies or creams)
• Additionally, male subjects (including those who are vasectomized) whose partners are pregnant or might be pregnant must agree to use condoms for the duration of the study and 6 months following completion of therapy
• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to initiation of treatment; women will be considered not of childbearing potential if they are surgically sterile (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy) and/or post-menopausal (amenorrheic for at least 12 months)
• Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately

• Pregnant women are excluded from this study because AZD9291 and navitoclax have the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with AZD9291 and navitoclax, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with AZD9291 and navitoclax
• History of hypersensitivity to AZD9291 (or drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to AZD9291) or any excipients of these agents
• Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with AZD9291
