Lung Cancer Clinical Trial

Osimertinib With or Without Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With EGFR Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Brain Metastases

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well osimertinib with or without bevacizumab works in treating patients with EGFR positive non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab may stop or slow non-small cell lung cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving osimertinib with or without bevacizumab may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the progression-free survival with AZD9291 (osimertinib) plus bevacizumab compared to AZD9291 (osimertinib) alone.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the safety and tolerability of the combination of AZD9291 (osimertinib) and bevacizumab.

II. To evaluate the time to progression in the central nervous system (CNS) with AZD9291 (osimertinib) plus bevacizumab versus single-agent osimertinib.

III. To determine the overall response rate and the intracranial response rate to the combination versus single agent.

IV. To assess the overall survival in patients receiving AZD9291 (osimertinib) plus bevacizumab compared to AZD9291 (osimertinib) alone.

TRANSLATIONAL OBJECTIVES:

I. To investigate mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance to combination AZD9291 (osimertinib) plus bevacizumab versus AZD9291 (osimertinib) by molecularly characterizing tumor samples including T790M status.

II. To assess whether circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in plasma can be used as an indicator of sensitivity and resistance to treatment.

III. To determine whether an angiogenic signature using a multiplex panel array is associated with benefit from the combination of AZD9291 (osimertinib) plus bevacizumab.

IV. To investigate angiogenesis, immune and signaling pathway markers in tumor samples to determine biomarkers predictive of benefit from combination therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 and bevacizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II: Patients receive osimertinib PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for a minimum of 4 weeks.

Patients must have at least one measurable CNS lesion that is asymptomatic, untreated, and does not require local therapy at the time of enrollment; measurable CNS disease is defined as a brain metastasis that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >= 5 mm (>= 0.5 cm) with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); if the lesion is 5-10 mm in size and is the only measurable disease, MRI imaging must be performed with 1.5 mm slice thickness or less; a history of previously treated brain metastases is allowed, however any lesion present at the time of whole brain radiotherapy or included in the stereotactic radiotherapy field (or within 2 mm of the treated lesion) will NOT be considered "untreated" unless it is new or documented to have progressed unequivocally since treatment
Patients are not required to have measurable systemic (i.e. non-CNS) disease; if present, measurable systemic disease must be able to be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as >= 20 mm (>= 2 cm) with conventional techniques or as >= 10 mm (>= 1 cm) with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical exam

Post-menopausal defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrheic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments
Women under 50 years old would be consider postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and with luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution
