Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with chemotherapy in combination with osimertinib compared to chemotherapy in combination with placebo in patients whose disease has progressed extracranially following first-line osimertinib treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of platinum plus pemetrexed chemotherapy plus osimertinib versus platinum plus pemetrexed chemotherapy plus placebo in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positive (EGFRm), locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with or wihout stable brain metastases who responded to first-line osimertinib therapy (complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\]) or stable disease (SD) for ≥ 6 months during first-line osimertinib treatment, and subsequently experienced radiological, extracranial disease progression. Approximately 204 patients were to be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to treatment with platinum plus pemetrexed chemotherapy plus osimertinib (Treatment Arm A) or platinum plus pemetrexed chemotherapy plus placebo (Treatment Arm B). However, the number of patients has been reduced to approximately 80 patients due to treatment landscape changes which outpaced study recruitment. Patients will be stratified based on the presence of brain metastases (stable brain metastases based on central nervous system (CNS) Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 \[RECIST 1.1\] assessments versus no brain metastases).

The 2 randomized treatment regimens are as follows:

* Treatment Arm A: Osimertinib 80 mg once daily (QD) with pemetrexed (500 mg/m\^2) (with pre-treatment) plus either cisplatin (75 mg/m\^2) or carboplatin (area under the concentration-time curve \[AUC\] 5), both administered on Day 1 of 21-day cycles for 4 cycles, followed by osimertinib 80 mg QD plus pemetrexed maintenance (500 mg/m\^2) on Day 1 of 21-day cycles
* Treatment Arm B: Placebo QD with pemetrexed (500 mg/m\^2) (with pre-treatment) plus either cisplatin (75 mg/m\^2) or carboplatin (AUC5), both administered on Day 1 of 21-day cycles for 4 cycles, followed by placebo QD plus pemetrexed maintenance (500 mg/m\^2) on Day 1 of 21-day cycles.

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
The patient, the Investigator, the study team (Sponsor, Contract research organization) and the study site staff will be blinded to osimertinib or placebo allocation. Patients may participate in the open label part of trial at the discretion of the investigator to receive osimertinib and continue any ongoing chemotherapy if intracranial progression is their first progression event.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment Arm A

All randomized patients will receive osimertinib 80 mg QD with pemetrexed (500 mg/m\^2) (with pre-treatment) plus either cisplatin (75 mg/m\^2) or carboplatin (\[AUC\] 5), both administered on Day 1 of 21-day cycles for 4 cycles, followed by osimertinib 80 mg QD plus pemetrexed maintenance (500 mg/m\^2) on Day 1 of 21-day cycles

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Osimertinib (AZD9291) pemetrexed cisplatin or carboplatin

Intervention Type DRUG

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form and in this protocol.
2. Pathologically confirmed non-squamous NSCLC.
3. Locally advanced (clinical stage IIIB or IIIC) or metastatic NSCLC (clinical stage IVA or IVB) or recurrent NSCLC, not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy.
4. Evidence of radiological extracranial disease progression following (Investigator-assessed) response or SD for ≥ 6 months during first-line osimertinib treatment, but who have not received further, subsequent treatment.
5. Tumor known to harbor 1 of the 2 or both common epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations known to be associated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sensitivity (Ex19del or L858R), either alone or in combination with other EGFR mutations, which may include T790M.
