  • Patients who are on corticosteroids must be on stable or decreasing doses of corticosteroids for at least 14 days.
  • Adequate hematologic function defined as:
  • ANC ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
  • Platelets ≥ 150 x 10^9/L
  • Adequate hepatic function defined as:
  • Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). For subjects with Gilbert's Disease, Total bilirubin ≤3 x ULN
  • ALT and AST ≤3 x ULN. For subjects with documented liver metastases, ALT and AST ≤5×ULN
  • Adequate renal function defined as:
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 40 mL/minute as determined using the Cockcroft-Gault formula
  • Patients must be capable of taking oral medication and have no known gastrointestinal malabsorption disorder.
  • Patients must not be planning to receive any concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment while receiving treatment on this study. Concurrent use of hormones for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes and hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.
  • Brain MRI with contrast is required to have demonstrated progressive CNS disease or an LP with cytology is required to have demonstrated progressive leptomeningeal disease on osimertinib or lorlatinib within 21 days of starting study drugs. CT of brain with contrast can be used to demonstrate progressive disease if patients have a documented anaphylaxis to gadolinium contrast and/or other contraindication to MRI (e.g., severe claustrophobia that cannot be managed with anxiolytics).
  • Patients must not be pregnant. Women/men of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method (see section 6.6 for list of effective methods). Women must use an effective contraceptive method during the study and for 6 months following the last dose. Men having sex with women of reproductive potential are required to use effective contraception during the study and for 6 months following the last dose. A woman is considered to be of "reproductive potential" if she has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months. In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" (see section 6.6 for list of effective contraceptive methods) also includes heterosexual celibacy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a sideeffect of pregnancy prevention) defined as a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral tubal ligation. However, if at any point a previously celibate patient chooses to become heterosexually active during the time period for use of contraceptive measures outlined in the protocol, he/she is responsible for beginning contraceptive measures. Women of reproductive potential are not to be nursing during the study and for six months following the last dose of all study drugs.
  • Women on the lorlatinib arm who are of reproductive potential agree to use a non-hormonal method of contraception during the study and for the time periods outlined above.

  • C797S and EGFR exon 19 deletion or EGFR exon 21 point mutation and
  • T790M mutation and EGFR exon 19 deletion or EGFR exon 21 point mutation.
  • Prior therapy with temozolomide.
  • Patients must not receive surgery or radiation as local therapies for the progressing CNS disease for which they are being enrolled on this trial. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement will be allowed for leptomeningeal disease with symptomatic hydrocephalis. Radiation or surgery for progressing extra-CNS disease is allowed.

  • Clinically significant acute infection requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy. Suppressive therapy for chronic infections allowed, for example:
  • Subjects with HIV/AIDS with adequate antiviral therapy to control viral load would be allowed. Subjects with viral hepatitis with controlled viral load would be allowed while on suppressive antiviral therapy.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of Temozolomide in Combination With Targeted Therapy for NSCLC Patients With CNS Progression on Either Osimertinib or Lorlatinib

This trial is testing two novel combinations (temozolomide plus osimertinib OR temozolomide plus lorlatinib) which have not been evaluated in clinical trials. Thus, the exact benefits of these novel combinations are unclear. However, based on the mechanism of action of temozolomide and CNS(Central Nervous System) penetration/activity in other tumor types, it is hypothesized that adding temozolomide to osimertinib or temozolomide to lorlatinib may provide improvement in CNS disease control in patients with CNS progression on either of these latter two TKIs (Tyrosine kinase inhibitors).

Being tested
Temozolomide plus Osimertinib, Temozolomide plus Lorlatinib

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Temozolomide plus OsimertinibDrug

    Temozolomide is an oral alkylating chemotherapy which has good CNS penetration and has demonstrated CNS responses in both primary brain tumors (e.g., glioblastoma and anaplastic astrocytoma) and in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) brain metastases. Preclinical data from glioblastoma suggests potential synergy of concurrent ALK or EGFR inhibition with temozolomide and early phase trials in glioblastoma are ongoing investigating such combinations. It is felt that combining temozolomide with osimertinib or lorlatinib may be beneficial for patients with progressive CNS disease on either of these TKIs because of the high CNS penetration of temozolomide, good CNS activity of temozolomide in other tumor types and preclinical data from glioblastoma suggesting a potential enhanced effect of concurrent EGFR and ALK/ROS1 inhibition with temozolomide.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Temozolomide plus Osimertinib and Temozolomide plus Lorlatinib in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and CNS Progression, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

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 21 inclusion and 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse events (time frame: Up to 3.5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 16 May 2023.
