Clinical trial: Osimertinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB-IV or Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations

Summary: This phase II trial studies how well osimertinib works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation that is stage IIIB-IV or has come back. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  I. To evaluate the best objective response rate of AZD9291 (osimertinib) among patients with EGFR exon 20 insertions.
  SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  I. To determine the safety profile of 160 mg once daily (QD) dose of AZD9291 (osimertinib) in patients with EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations.
  II. To determine the progression-free survival. III. To determine the overall survival.
  TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
  I. To characterize molecular markers of response to treatment in circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
  II. To evaluate biomarkers of response to treatment through retrospective analyses of pre-treatment tumor tissue.
  III. To identify resistance mechanisms to AZD9291 (osimertinib) through post-progression tumor biopsies and circulating tumor (ct)DNA.
  OUTLINE:
  Patients receive osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (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 at 28 days and every 3 months for up to 5 years.
