Lung Cancer Clinical Trial
A Study of BGB324(Bemcentinib) in Combination With Erlotinib in Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Summary
A Phase I/2 multi-center open-label study of BGB324 (bemcentinib) in combination with erlotinib in participants with Stage IIIb or Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Bemcentinib is a potent selective small molecule inhibitor of Axl, a surface membrane protein kinase receptor which is connected with poor prognosis and acquired resistance to therapy.
Full Description
This is a multi-center, multi-arm open-label Phase I/2 study that will be conducted at up to 10 clinical sites in the US.
Up to approximately 40 participants with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed Stage IIIb or Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer will receive bemcentinib( BGB324) as a single agent (Run-in Cohort(mono therapy)) or in combination with erlotinib (Arms A, B, C).
Run-in Arm to establish the safety and tolerability of bemcentinib(BGB324) administered as a single agent bemcentinib will be administered at a loading dose of 600 mg on Day 1 and Day 2 of Cycle 1, followed by 200 mg daily thereafter. After 6 participants have been dosed and safety established Arm A ( dose escalation arm) will be opened to confirm the bemcentinib dose to be used in combination with erlotinib.
In Arm A the dose of bemcentinib (BGB324) will be escalated in a standard 3+3 fashion until an maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination (bemcentinib + erlotinib) is established. The dose of bemcentinib to be investigated in arm B and C will be confirmed upon recommendation of a Safety Review Committee.
Arm B and C will open in parallel and will investigate bemcentinib in combination with erlotinib.

Additional Inclusion Criteria for Arm B
Participants must have documented EGFR mutation (including exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L85R substitution or other rearrangement of the EGFR gene). EGFR mutation may be confirmed historically (prior to study entry) and during the 28 day screening period confirmation of negative T790M status (confirmed with blood test or biopsy from a progressing tumor). Participants who have previously been treated with a T790M inhibitor (i.e., osimertinib) and have progressed will not require T790M testing.

Has progressed after receiving erlotinib or any other an approved EGFR inhibitor (i.e., afatinib, or gefitinib) at any time during therapy for advanced disease.
Erlotinib related toxicities being well-controlled and
Toxicity from other prior therapy has resolved to <=Grade 1 (previous treatment with bevacizumab and other licensed antibody therapies is permitted).
Participants who have an activating EGFR mutation may have up to 4 lines of previous treatment in the advanced setting. Additional chemotherapy may also have been given for treatment of limited stage disease in the adjuvant setting provided this was completed at least 6 months prior to study treatment.
Additional Inclusion Criteria for Arm C
Known EGFR mutation status:
Presence of an activating EGFR mutation (including exon 19 deletion or exon 21 [L858R] substitution mutation or other rearrangement of the EGFR gene).
Disease that is measurable or evaluable according to RECIST Version 1.1.
Is currently receiving erlotinib for NSCLC and will have received >=12 weeks' treatment at the time of the first dose of BGB324 (Cycle 1, Day 1).
