About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of AZD9291 in Patients With Advanced Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Following Prior EGFR TKI Therapy With EGFR and T790M Mutations Detected in Plasma Circulating Tumor DNA (PLASMA)

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a highly specific and effective biomarker for the detection of EGFR mutation status. We hypothesise AZD9291 is efficacious in patients with EGFR sensitizing mutations and T790M detected in plasma ctDNA.

This is a prospective, open label, multi-centre single arm phase II study assessing the efficacy and safety of AZD9291 monotherapy in patients with stage IIIB or IV harboring sensitising EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations) and T790M who have progressed following prior treatment with an approved EGFR TKI. Approximately 106 subjects will be enrolled.

All patients must have documented radiological progression on EGFR-TKI treatment and on the last treatment administered prior to enrolling in the study.

Read the detailed description

As T790M is the most common mechanism of acquired resistance to EGFR TKI, EGFR TKIs targeting T790M has been developed.

AZD9291 is an oral, potent, irreversible EGFR-TKI selective for sensitizing (EGFRm) and T790M resistance mutation with a significant selectivity margin against wild-type EGFR. As a result, AZD9291 can effectively block EGFR signaling both in EGFR single mutant cells with activating EGFR mutations and in double mutant cells bearing the resistance T790M mutation.

This is a prospective, open label, multi-centre single arm phase II study assessing the efficacy and safety of AZD9291 monotherapy in patients with stage IIIB or IV harboring sensitising EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R substitution mutations) and T790M who have progressed following prior treatment with an approved EGFR TKI. Approximately 108 subjects will be enrolled.

All patients must have documented radiological progression on EGFR-TKI treatment and on the last treatment administered prior to enrolling in the study.

Target patient population:

Patients will be > 18 years of age, with a diagnosis of locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy with documented activating EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R substitution mutations) at the time of initial diagnosis, have radiological disease progression following either 1st line EGFR TKI treatment OR following prior therapy with an EGFR TKI and a platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. Plasma sample must harbour an EGFR mutation known to be associated with EGFR TKI sensitivity (exon 19 deletion, L858R as well as presence of T790M by central lab testing from a plasma sample taken after confirmation of disease progression on the most recent treatment regimen. Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function and ECOG PS 0-2.

Treatment and regimens:

Patient will be treated with AZD9291 at a starting dose of 80mg once a day until the patient completes the study, withdraws from the study or closure of the study. A cycle of treatment is defined as 28 days of once daily AZD9291 treatment. Patients may continue to receive AZD9291 until objective disease progression (determined by RECIST 1.1) or if the subject is no longer receiving clinical benefit in the Investigator's opinion.

A Phase 2 study testing AZD9291 in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by National University Hospital, Singapore at 8 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 25 inclusion and 24 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ross Soo ((65) 6779 5555, ross_soo@nuhs.edu.sg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: From the time of their first treatment with daily AZD9291 till 28 days after discontinuation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02811354, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Sep 2018.
