Brief summary:
This is a single-arm, non-randomized multicentre phase 2 study in NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation, whose disease has progressed on standard chemotherapy.

Detailed description:
EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutant NSCLCs are generally resistant to 1st-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as well as 2nd-generation EGFR TKIs (overall response rates of 0-8.7%). Osimertinib is an oral, potent, irreversible EGFR-TKI selective for sensitizing EGFR and EGFR T790M resistance mutations with a significant selectivity margin against wild-type EGFR. Osimertinib is potent with a wide therapeutic window in Ba/F3 cells with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. Therefore, this study will be performed to investigate the efficacy of osimertinib in NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation

Arms: arm 1: Osimertinib at 80mg dose will be administered orally once daily.
Interventions: intervention 1: Osimertinib 80 MG [Tagrisso]
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Osimertinib 80mg once daily until disease progression

Objectives 
Primary Objective 
Outcome Measure 
To determine the efficacy of osimertinib in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR 
exon 20 insertion mutation who show disease progression on standard chemotherapy. 
 
Investigator-assessed objective response as defined by RECIST version 1.1 
 
Secondary Objectives 
Outcome Measure 
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of osimertinib AEs/SAEs as defined by NCI CTCAE version 4.0 
To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) PFS as defined by RECIST version 1.1 
To evaluate overall survival (OS) 
 
To evaluate the efficacy based on subtypes of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation 
 
To evaluate PFS based on subtypes of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation 
 
 
Target subject population 
Adult patients at age ≥ 19 years with locally advanced (stage IIIB) or metastatic (stage IV) NSCLC 
with confirmed EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation, who have received prior standard chemotherapy. 
 
Duration of treatment 
Patients may continue to receive osimertinib as long as they continue to show clinical benefits, as 
judged by the investigator, and in the absence of discontinuation criteria. 
 
Investigational product, dosage and mode of administration 
Osimertinib is an oral, potent, selective, irreversible inhibitor of both EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor 
(TKI)-sensitizing and -resistant mutations in NSCLC with a significant selectivity margin over wild-
type EGFR. Osimertinib at 80mg dose will be administered orally once daily. 
 


 
 
Statistical methods 
The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the proportion of patients who achieved an 
objective response as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1. Up to 30 patients 
will be enrolled and dosed in order to obtain at least 27 evaluable patients according to Simon’s 
minimax two-stage design as follows: objective response, P0=0.05 and P1=0.20; type 1 error 5%, 
power 80%, and confidence limit 95%; stage 1 (objective response ≥1/13) plus stage 2 (objective 
response ≥4/27). All data will be presented for the overall full analysis set, and also by cohorts 
defined by subtypes of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations (C-helix vs. loop following C-helix). 
Descriptive statistics will be used for all variables, as appropriate. Continuous variables will be 
summarised by the number of observations, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and 
maximum. Categorical variables will be summarised by frequency counts and percentages for each 
category. OS and PFS will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates of the median event time 
and quartiles together with their 95% confidence intervals.

1. Introduction 
1.1 Background and rationale for conducting this study 
EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations are typically located after the C-helix of the tyrosine kinase 
domain of EGFR1 and account for up to 4% of all EGFR mutations.2 EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutant 
NSCLC cells are generally resistant to 1st-generation EGFR TKIs (gefitinib, erlotinib) as well as 2nd-
generation EGFR TKIs (neratinib, afatinib, and dacomitinib). Clinically, overall response rates were 0% 
and 8.7% for NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation who received gefitinib/erlotinib3 
and afatinib,4 respectively.  
 
AZD9291 is an oral, potent, irreversible EGFR-TKI selective for sensitizing EGFR and EGFRT790M 
resistance mutations 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 EGFRT790M mutation.  AZD9291 is 
currently under investigation as a treatment option in: 1) Patients with advanced EGFRT790M-
positive NSCLC who have previously failed an EGFR-TKI; 2) Patients with advanced EGFR-mutant 
NSCLC who are treatment naïve; 3) In combination with novel agents for patients with EGFR TKI-


 
 
resistant NSCLC. 
 
In the phase 1 dose escalation study of AZD9291 (D5160C00001, AURA1), no dose-limiting toxicities 
were reported in any of the dose escalation cohorts (20, 40, 80, 160, and 240mg) and a non-
tolerated dose has not been defined. Based on the totality of the safety, pharmacokinetic and 
preliminary efficacy data, 80 mg once daily was selected as the recommended phase II dose.5 Data 
from the ongoing phase I AURA study (D5160C00001) in patients with EGFRT790M-positive NSCLC 
who were previously treated with EGFR TKI, have achieved promising efficacy with AZD9291; 61% 
(95% CI, 52-70%) of subjects achieved a response, 95% (95% CI, 90-98%) achieved disease control, 
medium duration of response of 12.4 months (95% CI, 8.3-not reach) and median PFS based on 38% 
maturity of data was 13.5 months (95% CI, 8.3-not reach), as assessed by blinded independent 
central review. Confirmatory phase 2 study of AZD9291 (AURA2) revealed 70% (95% CI, 64-77%) of 
patients achieved objective response in patients with EGFRT790M-positive NSCLC.6 In addition, 
AZD9291 had significantly greater efficacy than platinum-doublet chemotherapy in patients with 
EGFRT790M-positive NSCLC (AURA3).7 Promising evidence of efficacy has also observed in patients 
with treatment-naïve EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with AZD9291 as first line EGFR TKI.8  
 
Although disease progression was observed in one NSCLC patient with EGFR exon 20 insertion 
mutation who received AZD9291 40mg once daily,5 its efficacy had not been well studied in a 
homogenous patient population with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation. In addition, although in 
vitro efficacy of AZD9291 against EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation (H773_V774HVdup) was initially 
disappointing,9 AZD9291 was potent with a wide therapeutic window in Ba/F3 cells with EGFR exon

H773_V774insNPH, H773_V774insH, and H773_V774insAH (unpublished data). Therefore, this study 
will be performed to investigate the efficacy of AZD9291 in NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 
insertion mutation. 
 
Clinical experience with AZD9291 is described in the current version of the AZD9291 IB. 
1.2 Rationale for study design, doses and control groups 
This open-label, single-arm, non-randomized phase 2 study has been designed to evaluate the 
efficacy of AZD9291 80mg once daily in NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation who 


 
 
failed to standard chemotherapy. 
 
In the phase 1 dose escalation study of AZD9291 (D5160C00001, AURA1), once daily doses of 20, 
40, 80, 160, and 240mg of AZD9291 were evaluated.5 Based on the totality of the safety, 
pharmacokinetic and preliminary efficacy data, 80 mg once daily was selected as the recommended 
phase II dose.  Please refer to the AZD9291 IB for additional details. No dosage adjustment is 
required due to patient age, body weight, gender, ethnicity and smoking status. 
 
  
1.3 Benefit/risk and ethical assessment 
This study is designed to assess the primary objective for AZD9291 efficacy while minimizing the 
number of patients exposed to AZD9291 based on Simon’s minimax two-stage design. Pre-clinical 
and emerging clinical tolerability data from patients indicate that AZD9291 is generally well tolerated 
by patients with advanced cancer. At least 1,258 subjects have been exposed to study treatment 
(AZD9291 alone or AZD9291 in combination with another treatment) in the ongoing osimertinib 
clinical programe (excluding healthy volunteers who only received single doses of osimertinib, and 
excluding patients treated with osimertinib in the ongoing Studies D5160C00003, D5160C00007 and 
D5165C00001). The safety data from AURA extension and AURA2, supported by consistent data 
from AURA Phase I, indicate that osimertinib 80 mg has an acceptable safety and tolerability profile 
in terms of the type, frequency and severity of events, for use in patients with NSCLC.5,6 The most 
common AEs reported with osimertinib were consistent across AURA extension and AURA2 and in 
line with the expected profile of an EGFR TKI. AEs of decreased appetite, fatigue, and nausea 
occurred at an incidence of >10%, but were mostly mild in nature and non-serious. These non-
specific AEs represent a range of symptoms related to NSCLC and its treatment and were reported 
frequently in the past medical history of this patient population (decreased appetite [12.9-16.9%], 
fatigue [15.7-18.4 %], nausea [6.7-9.0%]). Across all cohorts and dose levels, there were 12 patients 
who died due to an AE; the most frequently reported AE that led to death was pneumonia (6 
patients). No other AE that led to death was reported in more than 1 patient. Taken together, 
AZD9291 is well tolerated and active in patients with EGFRT790M-positive NSCLC, suggesting that 
clinical benefits exceed the risk.  
 
However, there has been no approved targeted agent for NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 
insertion mutation who show disease progression on standard chemotherapy (platinum doublet 


 
 
chemotherapy, etc). Based on the totality of the safety and pharmacokinetic data as well as in vitro 
efficacy data, AZD9291 80mg once daily might be safe and beneficial in patients with NSCLC with 
EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation. Please refer to the AZD9291 IB for details. 
 
1.4 Study Design  
This is a single-arm, non-randomized multicentre phase 2 study in NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 
20 insertion mutation, whose disease has progressed on standard chemotherapy. Full details of the 
assessments conducted at each visits are shown in Table 1. 
 
Figure 1 Study flow chart 
 
 
(a) Patients will continue to receive osimertinib until objective disease progression (according to RECIST 1.1) or for as long as they are receiving clinical benefit in the opinion of the Investigator 
unless any of the criteria for treatment discontinuation are met first.  Patients who discontinue study treatment for reasons other than disease progression must continue tumour assessments as per 
the protocol schedule until progression.

patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements 
15. 
Previous allogeneic bone marrow transplant. 
16. 
Non-leukocyte depleted whole blood transfusion within 120 days of the date of the genetic 
sample collection. 
3.3 Subject enrolment 
Investigator(s) should keep a record, the subject screening log, of subjects who entered pre-study 
screening. 
The Investigator(s) will: 
1. 
Obtain signed informed consent from the potential subject before any study specific 
procedures are performed. 
2. 
Assign potential subject a unique enrolment number. 
3. 
Determine subject eligibility. See Sections 0.1 and 3.2. 
If a subject withdraws from participation in the study, then his/her enrolment code cannot be reused. 
3.4 Procedures for handling incorrectly enrolled or randomized subjects 
Subjects who fail to meet the eligibility criteria should not, under any circumstances, be enrolled or 
receive study medication. There can be no exceptions to this rule.  Subjects who are enrolled, but 
subsequently found not to meet all the eligibility criteria must not be randomized or initiated on 


 
 
treatment, and must be withdrawn from the study. 
Where a subject does not meet all the eligibility criteria but is randomized in error, or incorrectly 
started on treatment, the Investigator should inform the sponsor immediately, and a discussion 
should occur between the sponsor and the investigator regarding whether to continue or 
discontinue the patient from treatment. The sponsor must ensure all decisions are appropriately 
documented. 
3.5 Methods for assigning treatment groups (Not applicable) 
3.6 Methods for ensuring blinding (Not applicable) 
3.7 Methods for unblinding (Not applicable) 
3.8 Restrictions 
The following restrictions apply while the patient is receiving AZD9291 and for the specified times 
before and after: 
1. 
Females of child-bearing potential should use reliable methods of contraception from the 
time of screening until 3 months after discontinuing AZD9291. Acceptable methods of contraception 
include total and true sexual abstinence, tubal ligation, hormonal contraceptives that are not prone 
to drug-drug interactions (IUS Levonorgestrel Intra Uterine System [Mirena], Medroxyprogesterone 
injections [Depo-Provera]), copper-banded intra-uterine devices, and vasectomized partner. All 
hormonal methods of contraception should be used in combination with the use of a condom by 
their male sexual partner for intercourse. 
2. 
Male patients should be asked to use barrier contraceptives (i.e., by use of condoms) during 
sex with all of their female partners during the trial and for a washout period of 3 months. Patients 
should not father a child for 6 months after completion of AZD9291 treatment. Patients should 
refrain from donating sperm from the start of dosing until 6 months after discontinuing AZD9291 
treatment. If male patients wish to father children they should be advised to arrange for freezing of 
sperm samples prior to the start of AZD9291treatment. 
3. 
If medically feasible, patients taking regular medication, with the exception of potent 
inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 (see above), should be maintained on it throughout the access 
program period (30 days post-last dose). Patients taking concomitant medications whose disposition 
is dependent upon CYP3A4 and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and which have a narrow 
therapeutic index should be closely monitored for signs of changed tolerability as a result of 
increased exposure of the concomitant medication whilst receiving AZD9291.  Patients taking 
concomitant medications whose disposition is dependent upon CYP3A4, CYP1A2, CYP2C or p-


 
 
glycoprotein and which have a narrow therapeutic index should be closely monitored for reduction 
in therapeutic activity as a result of the reduced exposure of the concomitant medication while 
receiving AZD9291. Guidance on medications to avoid, medications that require close monitoring 
and on washout periods is provided (see Appendix A). 
Up to 1.5-fold increase in exposure may occur in statin exposure when coadministered with 
AZD9291. It is recommended that the starting and maintenance dose of statins should be as low 
as possible and should be guided by the statin prescribing information.  
Patients taking warfarin should be monitored regularly for changes in prothrombin time or 
international normalized ratio (INR). 
4. 
Patients who wear contact lenses must discontinue wearing their lenses if they have any 
mild to moderate eye symptoms (CTCAE grade ≤2) while receiving treatment with AZD9291 until 
at least one week after symptoms have resolved.  If a patient has a recurrence of eye symptoms or 
experiences any severe (CTCAE grade ≥3) ocular events, they must discontinue wearing their contact 
lenses until at least one week after treatment with AZD9291 is permanently discontinued.  Patients 
must not use any eye drops or ointment for treatment of eye symptoms, unless agreed to by a 
access program doctor, at any time during the access program until 1 week after AZD9291 has been 
permanently discontinued.  Patients should consult their clinician promptly if they have any 
concerns.  
3.9 Discontinuation of investigational product 
Subjects may be discontinued from osimertinib in the following situations: 
• 
Subject decision. The subject is at any time free to discontinue treatment, without prejudice 
to further treatment 
• 
Adverse Event 
• 
Severe non-compliance with the study protocol  
• 
Progressive disease or no clinical benefits 
Patients experiencing corneal ulceration or Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) will not be permitted to 
restart study treatment. 
3.9.1 Procedures for discontinuation of a subject from investigational product  
At any time, subjects are free to discontinue investigational product or withdraw from the study (i.e., 
investigational product and assessments – see Section 0), without prejudice to further treatment. A 
subject that decides to discontinue investigational will always be asked about the reason(s) and the 


 
 
presence of any adverse events.  If possible, they will be seen and assessed by an Investigator(s).  
Adverse events will be followed up (See Section 0); and all study drugs should be returned by the 
subject. If a subject is withdrawn from study, see Section 0. 
3.10 Criteria for withdrawal  
3.10.1 Screen failures  
Screening failures are patients who do not fulfil the eligibility criteria for the study, and therefore 
must not be treated in the study.   
3.10.2 Withdrawal of the informed consent 
Patients are free to withdraw from the study at any time (investigational product and assessments), 
without prejudice to further treatment. A patient who withdraws consent will always be asked about 
the reason(s) and the presence of any adverse events (AE).  The investigator will follow up AEs 
outside of the clinical study. If a subject withdraws from participation in the study, then his/her 
enrolment code cannot be reused. Withdrawn subjects will be replaced.  
3.11 Discontinuation of the study 
The study may be stopped if, in the judgment of sponsor, trial subjects are placed at undue risk 
because of clinically significant findings that: 
• 
meet individual stopping criteria or are otherwise considered significant  
• 
are assessed as causally related to study drug,  
• 
are not considered to be consistent with continuation of the study 
Regardless of the reason for termination, all data available for the subject at the time of 
discontinuation of follow-up must be recorded in the CRF. All reasons for discontinuation of 
treatment must be documented. In terminating the study, the Sponsor will ensure that adequate 
consideration is given to the protection of the subjects’ interests.

4.1 Enrolment/screening period 
Procedures will be performed according to the Study Plan (Table 1). At screening, consenting 
subjects are assessed to ensure that they meet eligibility criteria (Sections 3.1 and 3.2). Subjects who 
do not meet these criteria must not be enrolled in the study. All subjects will be required to provide 
consent to supply a sample of their archival tumor samples for entry into this study. This consent is 
included in the main subject informed consent form. 
4.2 Treatment period 
Descriptions of the procedures for this period are included in the Study Plan (Table 1) with 
exceptions of the following specific requirements for the treatment period: Subjects will receive 
osimertinib 80mg once daily until disease progression, unacceptable toxicities, or no clinical benefits. 
4.3 Follow-up period 
Descriptions of the procedures for this period are included in the Study Plan (Table 1) with 
exceptions of the following specific requirements for the follow-up period: Patients will return to 
the clinic/hospital for follow-up assessments 30 days (±7 days) after their last dose. If a patient 
discontinues AZD9291, they will also attend a study treatment discontinuation visit. 
5. Study assessments   
The investigator will ensure that data are recorded on the electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs) as 
specified in the study protocol and in accordance with the instructions provided. 
The investigator ensures the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of the data recorded and of 
the provision of answers to data queries according to the sponsor agreement. The investigator will 
sign the completed eCRFs. A copy of the completed eCRFs will be archived at the study site. 
5.1 Efficacy assessments 


 
 
RECIST 1.1 guidelines for measurable, non-measurable, target lesions (TLs) and non-target lesions 
(NTLs) and the objective tumour response criteria are present. Baseline CT or MRI assessments of 
chest and abdomen (including liver and adrenal glands) must be performed no more than 28 days 
before the start of study treatment, and ideally should be performed as close as possible to the 
start of study treatment. Additional imaging may be performed based on individual patient signs 
and symptoms. The methods of assessment used at baseline should be used at each subsequent 
follow-up assessment.  Follow-up assessments should be performed every 2 cycles (± 7 days) after 
the start of treatment until objective disease progression as defined by RECIST 1.1. Any other sites 
at which new disease is suspected should also be appropriately imaged. If an unscheduled 
assessment is performed and the patient has not progressed, every attempt should be made to 
perform subsequent assessments at the scheduled visits whilst the patient remains on study 
treatment. 
Categorisation of objective tumour response assessment will be based on the RECIST 1.1 guidelines 
for response: CR (complete response), PR (partial response), SD (stable disease) and PD (progression 
of disease). Target lesion progression will be calculated in comparison to when the tumour burden 
was at a minimum (i.e. smallest sum of diameters previously recorded on study).  In the absence 
of progression, tumour response (CR, PR, SD) will be calculated in comparison to the baseline 
tumour measurements obtained before starting treatment. If the investigator is in doubt as to 
whether progression has occurred, particularly with response to NTLs or the appearance of a new 
lesion, it is advisable to continue treatment and reassess the patient’s status at the next scheduled 
assessment or sooner if clinically indicated.  If repeated scans confirm progression, then the date 
of the initial scan should be declared as the date of progression. To achieve ‘unequivocal progression’ 
on the basis of non-target disease, there must be an overall level of substantial worsening in non-
target disease such that, even in presence of SD or PR in target disease, the overall tumour burden 
has increased sufficiently to merit discontinuation of therapy.  A modest ‘increase’ in the size of 
one or more NTLs is usually not sufficient to qualify for unequivocal disease progression status. It 
is important to follow the assessment schedule as closely as possible.  
 
5.2 Safety assessments 
5.2.1 Laboratory safety assessments 
Blood and urine samples for determination of clinical chemistry, haematology, and urinalysis will be 
taken at the times indicated in the Study Plan . The date, time of collection and results (values, units 
and reference ranges) will be recorded on the appropriate eCRF. The clinical chemistry, haematology 
and urinalysis will be performed at a local laboratory at or near to the Investigator site.  Sample 


 
 
tubes and sample sizes may vary depending on laboratory method used and routine practice at the 
site. 
The following laboratory variables will be measured: 
 
 
Table 2 Laboratory Safety Variables 
Haematology/Haemostasis (whole blood) 
Clinical Chemistry (serum or plasma) 
B-Haemoglobin (Hb) 
S/P-Creatinine 
B-Leukocyte count 
S/P-Bilirubin, total 
B-Leukocyte differential count (absolute count) 
S/P-Alkaline phosphatise (ALP) 
B-Platelet count S/P-Aspartate transaminase (AST) 
 
S/P-Alanine transaminase (ALT) 
Urinalysis (dipstick) 
S/P-Albumin

U-Protein/Albumin  
S/P-Calcium, total 
U-Glucose  
S/P-Sodium 
 
S/P-Creatine kinase (CK) 
The Investigator should make an assessment of the available results with regard to clinically relevant 
abnormalities.  The laboratory results should be signed and dated and retained at centre as source 
data for laboratory variables.  For information on how AEs based on laboratory tests should be 
recorded and reported, see Section. 
NB. In case a subject shows an AST or ALT ≥3xULN or total bilirubin ≥ 2xULN please refer to 
Appendix C ‘Actions required in cases of combined increase of Aminotransferase and Total Bilirubin 
– Hy’s Law’, for further instructions. 
5.2.2 Physical examination 
A physical examination will be performed and include an assessment of the following: general 
appearance, skin, head and neck (including ears, eyes, nose and throat), respiratory, cardiovascular, 
abdomen, lymph nodes, thyroid, musculo-skeletal (including spine and extremities) and neurological 


 
 
systems. 
5.2.3 ECG 
Patients should be monitored for ECG changes at every cycle. ECGs should be reviewed and any 
abnormalities noted. 
5.2.3.1 Resting 12-lead ECG 
Twelve-lead ECGs will be obtained after the patient has been resting semi-supine for at least 10 
minutes prior to times indicated. All ECGs should be recorded with the patient in the same physical 
position. For each time point three ECG recordings should be taken at about 5 minute intervals. A 
standardised ECG machine should be used and the patient should be examined using the same 
machine throughout the study if possible. 
The investigator or designated physician will review each of the ECGs and may refer to a local 
cardiologist if appropriate. A paper copy should be filed in the patient’s medical records. If an 
abnormal ECG finding at screening or baseline is considered to be clinically significant by the 
investigator, it should be reported as a concurrent condition.  For all ECGs details of rhythm, ECG 
intervals and an overall evaluation will be recorded. 
 
5.2.4 Ophthalmologic exam 
Full ophthalmic assessment, including slit lamp examination, should be performed at screening and 
if a patient experiences any visual symptoms (including blurring of vision), 
with additional tests if clinically indicated. Ophthalmology examination results should be 
collected in the eCRF. 
 
Any clinically significant findings, including those confirmed by the ophthalmologist must be 
reported as an AE. Photographs should be performed to record any clinically significant findings. 
These photographs should be available for submission to AstraZeneca representatives if necessary. 
 
5.2.5 Vital signs 
Vital signs will be measured at the times specified in the study plans (Table 1) and recorded in the 
eCRF. However, the Investigator reserves the right to add extra assessments if there are any abnormal 
findings or for any other reason the Investigator feels meets this requirement. 


 
 
5.2.5.1 Pulse and blood pressure 
Pulse and blood pressure will be measured at the times specified in the study plans (Table 1). 
5.2.5.2 Body temperature 
Body temperature will be measured at the times specified in the study plans using a semi-automatic 
body temperature recording device. 
5.2.6 Other safety assessments (Not applicable) 
5.3 Other assessments (Not applicable) 
5.4 Pharmacokinetics (Not applicable) 
5.5 Pharmacodynamics (Not applicable) 
5.6 Pharmacogenetics (Not applicable) 
5.7 Biomarker analysis  
The subject’s consent to the use of donated biological samples is mandatory. Biological samples 
(e.g., archived tumour samples and cfDNA) will be collected and may be analysed for exploratory 
biomarkers to assess correlations with disease activity, effects of study drug, clinical outcomes and 
toxicity. 
5.7.1 Storage, re-use and destruction of biological samples 
Samples will be stored for a maximum of 15 years from the date of the Last Subject’s Last Visit, 
after which they will be destroyed.  The results of this biomarker research will be reported either 
in the Clinical Study Report itself or as an addendum, or separately in a scientific report or 
publication.  
5.7.2 Labelling and shipment of biological samples 
The Principal Investigator ensures that samples are labelled and shipped appropriately. 
5.7.3 Chain of custody of biological samples  
A full chain of custody is maintained for all samples throughout their lifecycle. The Principal 
Investigator keeps full traceability of collected biological samples from the subjects while in storage 
at the centre until shipment or disposal (where appropriate) and keeps documentation of receipt of 
arrival. The sample receiver keeps full traceability of the samples while in storage and during use 
until used or disposed of or until further shipment and keeps documentation of receipt of arrival. 
The sponsor keeps oversight of the entire life cycle through internal procedures, monitoring of study 


 
 
sites and auditing of external laboratory providers. Samples retained for further use should be 
documented and stored during the entire life cycle. 
5.7.4 Withdrawal of Informed Consent for donated biological samples  
If a subject withdraws consent to the use of donated biological samples, the samples will be 
disposed of/destroyed, and the action documented.  If samples are already analysed, the sponsor 
is not obliged to destroy the results of this research. 
The Principal Investigator: 
• 
Ensures subjects’ withdrawal of informed consent to the use of donated samples is notified 
immediately 
• 
Ensures that biological samples from that subject, if stored at the study site, are 
immediately identified, disposed of /destroyed, and the action documented 
• 
Ensures the laboratory(ies) holding the samples is/are informed about the withdrawn 
consent immediately and that samples are disposed of/destroyed, the action documented and the 
signed document returned to the study site 
• 
Ensures that the subject and the sponsor are informed about the sample disposal. 
The sponsor ensures the central laboratory(ies) holding the samples is/are informed about the 
withdrawn consent immediately and that samples are disposed of/destroyed and the action 
documented and returned to the study site. 
6. SAFETY REPORTING AND MEDICAL MANAGEMENT 
The Principal Investigator is responsible for ensuring that all staff involved in the study are familiar 
with the content of this section. 
6.1 Definition of adverse events 
An adverse event is the development of an undesirable medical condition or the deterioration of a 
pre-existing medical condition following or during exposure to a pharmaceutical product, whether 
or not considered causally related to the product.  An undesirable medical condition can be 
symptoms (e.g., nausea, chest pain), signs (e.g., tachycardia, enlarged liver) or the abnormal results 
of an investigation (e.g., laboratory findings, electrocardiogram).  In clinical studies, an AE can 
include an undesirable medical condition occurring at any time, including run-in or washout periods, 
even if no study treatment has been administered. The term AE is used to include both serious and 
non-serious AEs. 


 
 
6.2 Definitions of serious adverse event 
A serious adverse event is an AE occurring during any study phase (i.e., treatment, follow-up), that 
fulfils one or more of the following criteria: 
• 
Results in death 
• 
Is immediately life-threatening 
• 
Requires in-patient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation  
• 
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability 
to conduct normal life functions 
• 
Is a congenital abnormality or birth defect 
• 
Is an important medical event that may jeopardise the subject or may require medical 
intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. 
The causality of SAEs (their relationship to all study treatment/procedures) will be assessed by the 
investigator(s) and communicated to AstraZeneca in accordance with the agreed process. 
6.3 Recording of adverse events 
6.3.1 Time period for collection of adverse events 
Adverse Events will be collected from time of signature of informed consent, enrolment throughout 
the treatment period and including the 30-day follow-up period. SAEs will be recorded from the 
time of informed consent. 
6.3.2 Follow-up of unresolved adverse events 
Any AEs that are unresolved at the subject’s last visit in the study are followed up by the Investigator 
for as long as medically indicated, but without further recording in the CRF. The sponsor retains the 
right to request additional information for any subject with ongoing AE(s)/SAE(s) at the end of the 
study, if judged necessary. 
6.3.3 Variables  
The following variables will be collect for each AE; 
• 
AE (verbatim) 
• 
The date when the AE started and stopped 
• 
Whether the AE is serious or not 


 
 
• 
Investigator causality rating against the Investigational Product (yes or no), 
comparator/combination drug (yes/no) 
• 
Action taken with regard to investigational product/ comparator/combination agent 
• 
Outcome. 
In addition, the following variables will be collected for SAEs: 
• 
Date AE met criteria for serious AE 
• 
Date Investigator became aware of serious AE 
• 
AE is serious due to 
• 
Date of hospitalisation 
• 
Date of discharge 
• 
Probable cause of death 
• 
Date of death 
• 
Autopsy performed 
• 
Causality assessment in relation to Study procedure(s) 
• 
Causality assessment in relation to Other medication 
• 
Description of AE. 
It is important to distinguish between serious and severe AEs.  Severity is a measure of intensity 
whereas seriousness is defined by the criteria in Section6.2 .  An AE of severe intensity need not 
necessarily be considered serious.  For example, nausea that persists for several hours may be 
considered severe nausea, but not a SAE unless it meets the criteria shown in Section0. On the 
other hand, a stroke that results in only a limited degree of disability may be considered a mild 
stroke but would be a SAE when it satisfies the criteria shown in Section 6.2. 
6.3.4 Causality collection 
The Investigator will assess causal relationship between Investigational Product and each Adverse 
Event. For SAEs causal relationship will also be assessed for other medication and study procedures. 
Note that for SAEs that could be associated with any study procedure the causal relationship is 
implied as ‘yes’. 
6.3.5 Adverse events based on signs and symptoms 


 
 
All AEs spontaneously reported by the subject or revealed by observation will be collected and 
recorded in the CRF. When collecting AEs, the recording of diagnoses is preferred (when possible) 
to recording a list of signs and symptoms.  However, if a diagnosis is known and there are other 
signs or symptoms that are not generally part of the diagnosis, the diagnosis and each sign or 
symptom will be recorded separately. 
6.3.6 Adverse events based on examinations and tests 
Deterioration as compared to baseline in protocol-mandated laboratory values, vital signs should 
only be reported as AEs if they fulfil any of the SAE criteria or are the reason for discontinuation of 
treatment with the investigational product. 
If deterioration in a laboratory value/vital sign is associated with clinical signs and symptoms, the 
sign or symptom will be reported as an AE and the associated laboratory result/vital sign will be 
considered as additional information.  Wherever possible the reporting Investigator uses the clinical, 
rather than the laboratory term (e.g., anaemia versus low haemoglobin value). In the absence of 
clinical signs or symptoms, clinically relevant deteriorations in non-mandated parameters should be 
reported as AE(s). Any new or aggravated clinically relevant abnormal medical finding at a physical 
examination as compared with the baseline assessment will be reported as an AE. 
6.3.7 Hy’s Law 
Cases where a subject shows elevations in liver biochemistry may require further evaluation and 
occurrences of AST or ALT ≥ 3xULN together with total bilirubin ≥ 2xULN may need to be reported 
as SAEs. Please refer to Appendix for further instruction on cases of increases in liver biochemistry 
and evaluation of Hy’s Law. 
6.3.8 Disease progression 
Disease progression can be considered as a worsening of a subject’s condition attributable to the 
disease for which the investigational product is being studied.  It may be an increase in the severity 
of the disease under study and/or increases in the symptoms of the disease.  The development of 
new, or progression of existing metastasis to the primary cancer under study should be considered 
as disease progression and not an AE.  Events, which are unequivocally due to disease progression, 
should not be reported as an AE during the study. 
6.3.9 New cancers 
The development of a new primary cancer should be regarded as an AE and will generally meet at 
least one of the serious criteria (see Section 6.4.2).  New primary cancers are those that are not the 
primary reason for the administration of the study treatment and have developed after the inclusion 


 
 
of the patient into the study.  They do not include metastases of the original cancer.  Symptoms 
of metastasis or the metastasis itself should not be reported as an AE/SAE, as they are considered 
to be disease progression. 
6.3.10 Lack of efficacy 
When there is deterioration in the condition for which the study treatment(s) is being used, there 
may be uncertainty as to whether this is lack of efficacy or an AE.  In such cases, unless the Sponsor 
or the reporting physician considers that the study treatment contributed to the deterioration of 
the condition, or local regulations state to the contrary, the deterioration should be considered to 
be a lack of efficacy and not an AE. 
6.3.11 Deaths 
All deaths that occur during the study, or within the protocol defined 30 day post study follow up 
period after the administration of the last dose of study treatment, must be reported as follows: 
• 
Death clearly the result of disease progression should be reported to the study monitor at 
the next monitoring visit and should be documented in the eCRF but should not be reported as an 
SAE. 
• 
Where death is not due (or not clearly due) to progression of the disease under study, the 
AE causing the death must be reported to the study monitor as a SAE within 24 hours (see 
Section6.3.8 for further details).  The report should contain a comment regarding the co 
involvement of progression of disease, if appropriate, and should assign main and contributory 
causes of death.  This information can be captured in the ‘death eCRF’. 
• 
Deaths with an unknown cause should always be reported as a SAE.  A post mortem 
maybe helpful in the assessment of the cause of death, and if performed a copy of the post-mortem 
results should be forwarded to AstraZeneca within the usual timeframes. 
 
6.4 Reporting of serious adverse events 
Investigators and other site personnel must inform the KFDA, via a MedWatch/AdEERs form, of any 
serious or unexpected adverse events that occur in accordance with the reporting obligations of 21 
CFR 312.32, and will concurrently forward all such reports to AZ.  A copy of the MedWatch/AdEERs 
report must be faxed to AstraZeneca at the time the event is reported to the KFDA.  It is the 
responsibility of the investigator to compile all necessary information and ensure that the KFDA 
receives a report according to the KFDA reporting requirement timelines and to ensure that these 
reports are also submitted to AstraZeneca at the same time. 


 
 
* A cover page should accompany the MedWatch/AdEERs form indicating the following: 
• 
Investigator Sponsored Study (ISS) 
• 
The investigator IND number assigned by the KFDA 
• 
The investigator’s name and address 
• 
The trial name/title and AstraZeneca ISS reference number 
* Investigative site must also indicate, either in the SAE report or the cover page, the causality of 
events in relation to all study medications and if the SAE is related to disease progression, as 
determined by the principal investigator. 
* Send SAE report and accompanying cover page by way of fax to AstraZeneca’s designated fax 
line:  
If a non-serious AE becomes serious, this and other relevant follow-up information must also be 
provided to AstraZeneca and the KFDA. 
Serious adverse events that do not require expedited reporting to the KFDA need to be reported 
to AstraZeneca preferably using the MedDRA coding language for serious adverse events.  This 
information should be reported on a monthly basis and under no circumstance less frequently than 
quarterly. 
For all studies of AZD9291, the Sponsor should continue sending SUSARs to AZ in parallel to 
regulatory authorities as defined per AZ standard minimum requirements for safety data collection; 
all other SAEs should be sent to AZ on a monthly basis.  
In the case of blinded trials, AstraZeneca will request that the Sponsor either provide a copy of the 
randomization code/ code break information or unblind those SAEs which require expedited 
reporting. 
All SAEs have to be reported to AstraZeneca, whether or not considered causally related to the 
investigational product.  All SAEs will be documented.  The investigator is responsible for 
informing the IRB and/or the Regulatory Authority of the SAE as per local requirements. 
Non-serious adverse events and SAEs will be collected from the time consent is given, throughout 
the treatment period and up to and including the 30 day follow-up period.  After withdrawal from 
treatment, subjects must be followed-up for all existing and new AEs for 30 calendar days after the 
last dose of trial drug and/or until event resolution.  All new AEs occurring during that period must 
be recorded (if SAEs, then they must be reported to the FDA and AstraZeneca).  All study-related 
toxicities/ SAEs must be followed until resolution, unless in the Investigator’s opinion, the condition 


 
 
is unlikely to resolve due to the patient’s underlying disease. 
6.5 Overdose 
There is no specific treatment in the event of AZD9291 overdose, and symptoms of overdose are 
not established. In the event of an overdose, physicians should follow general supportive measures 
and should treat symptomatically. 
For overdoses associated with a SAE, the standard agreed reporting timelines apply, see Section6.3.8 .   
6.6 Pregnancy 
All pregnancies and outcomes of pregnancy should be reported to AstraZeneca. 
6.6.1 Maternal exposure 
If a subject becomes pregnant during the course of the study AZD9291 should be discontinued 
immediately. Pregnancy itself is not regarded as an adverse event unless there is a suspicion that 
the investigational product under study may have interfered with the effectiveness of a contraceptive 
medication.  Congenital abnormalities/birth defects and spontaneous miscarriages should be 
reported and handled as SAEs.  Elective abortions without complications should not be handled as 
AEs.  The outcome of all pregnancies (spontaneous miscarriage, elective termination, ectopic 
pregnancy, normal birth or congenital abnormality) should be followed up and documented even 
if the subject was discontinued from the study. If any pregnancy occurs in the course of the study, 
then the Investigator or other site personnel informs the appropriate AstraZeneca representatives 
within 1day i.e., immediately but no later than 24 hours  of when he or she becomes aware of it. 
The designated AstraZeneca representative works with the Investigator to ensure that all relevant 
information is provided to the AstraZeneca Patient Safety data entry site within 1 or 5 calendar days 
for SAEs and within 30 days for all other pregnancies. 
The same timelines apply when outcome information is available. 
6.6.2 Paternal exposure  
Pregnancy of the subject’s partners is not considered to be an adverse event. However, the outcome 
of all pregnancies (spontaneous miscarriage, elective termination, ectopic pregnancy, normal birth 
or congenital abnormality) should if possible be followed up and documented. To capture 
information about a pregnancy from the partner of a male subject, the male subject’s partner 
consent must be obtained to collect information related to the pregnancy and outcome; the male 
subject should not be asked to provide this information. A consent form specific to this situation 
must be used. The outcome of any conception occurring from the date of the first dose until 6 
months after dosing ends should be followed up and documented. 


 
 
6.7 Management of IP related toxicities 
Dose adjustment for adverse events should be in accordance with the following table: 
 
Table 3. AZD9291 dose adjustment information for adverse reactions 
Target Organ 
Adverse Reactiona  
Dose Modification  
Pulmonary  
ILD/Pneumonitis Permanently discontinue AZD9291  
Cardiac QTc interval greater than 500 msec on at least 2 separate ECGs 
 
Withhold AZD9291 until QTc interval is less than 481 msec or recovery to baseline if 
baseline QTc is greater than or equal to 481 msec, then restart at a reduced dose (40 mg). 
 
QTc interval prolongation with signs/symptoms of serious arrhythmia Permanently 
discontinue AZD9291 
 
Other  Grade 3 or higher adverse reaction Withhold AZD9291 for up to 3 weeks  
 
If Grade 3 or higher adverse reaction improves to Grade 0-2 after withholding of AZD9291 
for up to 3 weeks  
AZD9291 may be restarted at the same dose (80 mg) or a lower dose (40 
mg) 
 
Grade 3 or higher adverse reaction that does not improve to Grade 0-2 after withholding 
for up to 3 weeks  
Permanently discontinue AZD9291  
a Note: The intensity of clinical adverse events graded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) 
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. 
 
If a patient experiences a CTCAE grade 3 or higher and/or unacceptable toxicity (any grade), where 
the clinician considers the event of concern to be specifically associated with AZD9291 (and not 
attributable to the disease or disease-related processes for which patient is being treated), dosing 
will be interrupted and supportive therapy administered as required in accordance with local 
practice/guidelines.  Detailed information on the clinical management of events may be found in 
Appendix B, “Guidance for the Management of Adverse Events in Studies using 80mg AZD9291.” 
 
Patients with QTc prolongation (i.e., confirmed QTc prolongation to >500 msec absolute or a > 60 


 
 
msec increase from baseline) should have AZD9291 treatment interrupted and regular ECGs 
performed until resolution to baseline.   
If the toxicity resolves or reverts to ≤CTCAE grade 2 within 3 weeks of onset, treatment with 
AZD9291 may be restarted at the same dose (80 mg, daily) or a lower dose (40 mg, daily) using 
the rules below for dose modifications (Table 4). There will be no individual modifications to dosing 
schedule in response to toxicity, only potential dose reduction or dose interruption.  
 
If the toxicity does not resolve to ≤CTCAE grade 2 after 3 weeks, then the patient should be 
withdrawn from the study and observed until resolution of the toxicity. 
 
Table 4. Dose Interventions

On resolution of toxicity within 3 weeks: 
If an event subsequently requires dose interruption, AZD9291 may restart at the same dose or the 
reduced dose, on resolution/improvement of the event at the discretion of the clinician. 
6.7.1 Pulmonary Symptoms 
If new or worsening pulmonary symptoms (e.g., dyspnea) or radiological abnormality suggestive of 
interstitial lung disease is observed, an interruption in AZD9291 dosing is recommended, and the 
AstraZeneca representative should be informed. It is strongly recommended to perform a full 
diagnostic workup, to exclude alternative causes such as lymphangitic carcinomatosis, infection, 
allergy, cardiogenic edema, or pulmonary hemorrhage.   
Where ILD is suspected, administer corticosteroids at a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone 
equivalents for Grade 2 or greater pneumonitis, followed by corticosteroid taper. Permanently 
discontinue for severe (Grade 3) or life-threatening (Grade 4) pneumonitis and withhold until 
resolution for moderate (Grade 2) pneumonitis. 
In the absence of a diagnosis of interstitial lung disease AZD9291 may be restarted. 
 


 
 
6.7.2 QTc Prolongation 
Patients with QTcF prolongation fulfilling the following criteria (i.e., confirmed QTcF prolongation to 
> 500 msec absolute or a > 60 msec increase from baseline) should have AZD9291 interrupted and 
regular ECGs performed until resolution to baseline. If the toxicity does not resolve to < grade 1 
within 3 weeks the patient will be permanently withdrawn from AZD9291 treatment.  
 
6.7.3 Corneal Ulceration 
Patients experiencing corneal ulceration will not be permitted to restart AZD9291 treatment. 
 
6.7.4 Skin reactions  
Recommendations for appropriate management of skin reactions, including guidance on dose-
adjustments for clinically significant and/or intolerable skin reactions that are considered by the 
clinician to be causally related to AZD9291 is provided in Appendix B, Guidance for the Management 
of Adverse Events in Studies using 80mg AZD9291.” 
6.7.5 Diarrhea 
Recommendations for appropriate management of diarrhea, including dose-adjustments for adverse 
events of diarrhea that are of CTCAE grade ≥3 or that are clinically significant and/or intolerable 
and considered by the clinician to be causally related to AZD9291, is provided in Appendix B,  
“Guidance for the Management of Adverse Events in Studies using 80mg AZD9291.” 
 
6.8 Study governance and oversight 
An Executive Steering Committee will be set up. It will involve experts with the relevant knowledge 
and experience required for the study. This Executive Committee will have the executive oversight 
and supervision of the study. It will also be involved in the publication strategy of the study. 
7. INVESTIGATIONAL PRODUCT AND OTHER TREATMENTS 
7.1 Identity of investigational product (AZD9291) 
 
Investigational product 
Dosage form and strength 
Manufacturer 
AZD9291 
 
40mg Tablets 


 
 
80mg Tablets 
 
AstraZeneca 
 
AstraZeneca will supply AZD9291 as tablets for oral administration as a single daily dose of 80 mg. 
AZD9291 will usually be supplied as either bulk or unlabelled bottles for ISS/ESR studies. Additional 
information about the Investigational product may be found in the Investigators’ Brochure. 
7.2 Dose and treatment regimens 
AZD9291 is administered as 80 mg once daily. AZD9291 can be taken without regard to food. 
Doses should be taken approximately 24 hours apart at the same time point each day.  Doses 
should not be missed.  If a patient misses taking a scheduled dose, within a window of 12 hours, 
it is acceptable to take the dose.  If it is more than 12 hours after the dose time, the missed dose 
should not be taken, and patients should be instructed to take the next dose at the next scheduled 
time.  If a patient vomits after taking their AZD9291, they should not make up for this dose, but 
should take the next scheduled dose. 
The dose of 80 mg AZD9291 daily can be reduced to 40 mg AZD9291 once daily under 
circumstances described in Section 6.7.  Further dose reductions are not possible. Once a dose has 
been reduced, it should not be re-escalated at future cycles.  Any change from dosing schedule, 
dose interruptions, or dose reductions should be recorded. 
7.3 Labelling 
Labels will be prepared in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and local regulatory 
guidelines.  The labels will fulfil GMP Annex 13 requirements for labelling. 
 
7.4 Storage 
All study drugs should be kept in a secure place under appropriate storage conditions.  The 
investigational product label on the bottle and the Investigator Brochure specifies the appropriate 
storage. 
7.5 Compliance 
The administration of all study drugs (including investigational products) should be recorded in the 
appropriate sections of the Case Report Form. 
7.6 Accountability 
The study drug provided for this study will be used only as directed in the study protocol. 


 
 
The study personnel will account for all study drugs dispensed to and returned from the subject. 
7.7 Concomitant and other treatments  
Once enrolled all patients must try to avoid concomitant use of medications, herbal supplements 
and/or ingestion of foods with known potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 whenever feasible, 
but patients may receive any medication that is clinically indicated for treatment of adverse events. 
Such drugs must have been discontinued for an appropriate period before they enter screening 
and for a period of 3 months after the last dose of AZD9291.  All concomitant medications should 
be captured on the CRF.  Guidance on medicines to avoid, medications that require close 
monitoring and on washout periods is provided (see Appendix A). 
If medically feasible, patients taking regular medication, with the exception of potent inhibitors or 
inducers of CYP3A4 (see above), should be maintained on it throughout the study period. Patients 
taking concomitant medications whose disposition is dependent upon CYP3A4,and BCRP and which 
have a narrow therapeutic index should be closely monitored for signs of changed tolerability as a 
result of increased exposure of the concomitant medication whilst receiving AZD9291. Additionally 
due to the potential CYP450 and p-glycoprotein induction risk exposure of drug that are 
metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP1A2 or CYP2C or whose deposition is mediated by p-glycoprotein 
could also be reduced and should also be monitored for reduction in therapeutic activity (especially 
those which have narrow therapeutic index).  Guidance on medications to avoid, medications that 
require close monitoring and on washout periods should be provided (see Appendix A) 
Patients should be advised of the potential reduction in effectiveness of oral hormonal 
contraceptives (due to CYP3A4 induction) when used with AZD921. A change to a non-oral method 
of contraception (e.g. IUS Levonorgestrel Intra Uterine System, Medroxyprogesterone injections), or 
addition of a barrier method (e.g. condoms, diaphragm) to the primary hormonal method, is 
recommended prior to the commencement of treatment. Up to 1.5-fold increase in exposure may 
occur in statin exposure when co administered with AZD9291. It is recommended that the starting 
and maintenance dose of statins should be as low as possible and should be guided by the statin 
label. Monitoring of low- density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels is advised. If the patient 
experiences any potentially relevant adverse events suggestive of muscle toxicity including 
unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, particularly if accompanied by malaise or fever, 
the statin should be stopped, creatine kinase (CK) levels should be checked, and any appropriate 
further management should be taken. Patients taking warfarin should be monitored regularly for 
changes in prothrombin time or INR. 
7.7.1 Other concomitant treatment 


 
 
Other medication other than that described above, which is considered necessary for the subject’s 
safety and well-being, may be given at the discretion of the Investigator and recorded in the 
appropriate sections of the Case Report Form. 
7.8 Post Study Access to Study Treatment (Not applicable) 
 
8. STATISTICAL ANALYSES BY SPONSOR 
8.1 Statistical considerations 
• 
All personnel involved with the analysis of the study will remain blinded until database lock 
and protocol violators identified. 
• 
Analyses will be performed by the Sponsor or its representatives. 
• 
Refer to SAP for details (if such a document exists and more details will be added). 
8.2 Sample size estimate 
The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the proportion of patients who achieved an 
objective response as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1. Up to 30 patients 
(withdrawal 10%) will be enrolled and dosed in order to obtain at least 27 evaluable patients 
according to Simon’s minimax two-stage design as follows: objective response, P0=0.05 and P1=0.20; 
type 1 error 5%, power 80%, and confidence limit 95%; stage 1 (objective response ≥1/13) plus 
stage 2 (objective response ≥4/27). All data will be presented for the overall full analysis set, and 
also by cohorts defined by subtypes of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations (C-helix vs. loop following 
C-helix). Descriptive statistics will be used for all variables, as appropriate. Continuous variables will 
be summarised by the number of observations, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and 
maximum. Categorical variables will be summarised by frequency counts and percentages for each 
category. OS and PFS will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates of the median event time 
and quartiles together with their 95% confidence intervals. 
 
8.3 Definitions of analysis sets 
The full analysis sets will include all subjects who received at least one dose of study treatment 
(safety) and dose patients with a baseline tumour assessment (efficacy). 
8.4 Outcome measures for analyses 
Outcome measures for analyses are presented in Section 2. 


 
 
8.5 Methods for statistical analyses 
8.5.1 Analysis of the primary variable (s) 
The investigator-assessed objective response will be evaluated according to RECIST version 1.1 
including 95% confidence intervals.  
8.5.2 Analysis of the secondary variable(s) 
PFS will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates of the median time to progression. OS will 
be summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates of the median time to death or censoring and 
quartiles together with their 95% confidence intervals.  
8.5.3 Subgroup analysis (Not applicable) 
8.5.4 Interim analysis (Not applicable) 
8.5.5 Sensitivity analysis (Not applicable) 
8.5.6 Exploratory analysis (if applicable)  
All patients will be requested to provide a plasma sample. These samples will be used for the 
extraction and analysis of circulating free tumour DNA (cfDNA). The cfDNA may be used to further 
investigate the blood-borne biomarkers.  
 
9. STUDY AND DATA MANAGEMENT  
9.1 Training of study site personnel 
The principal investigator will ensure that appropriate training relevant to the study is given to all 
of these staff, and that any new information relevant to the performance of this study is forwarded 
to the staff involved. The principal investigator will maintain a record of all individuals involved in 
the study (medical, nursing and other staff). 
9.2 Monitoring of the study 
 
During the study, a sponsor representative will have regular contacts with the study site, 
including visits to: 
• 
Provide information and support to the Investigator(s) 
• 
Confirm that facilities remain acceptable 
• 
Confirm that the investigational team is adhering to the protocol, that data are being 


 
 
accurately and timely recorded in the CRFs, that biological samples are handled in accordance with 
the Laboratory Manual and that study drug accountability checks are being performed 
• 
Perform source data verification (a comparison of the data in the CRFs with the subject’s 
medical records at the hospital or practice, and other records relevant to the study) including 
verification of informed consent of participating subjects. This will require direct access to all original 
records for each subject (e.g., clinic charts) 
• 
Ensure withdrawal of informed consent to the use of the subject’s biological samples is 
reported and biological samples are identified and disposed of/destroyed accordingly, and the 
action is documented, and reported to the subject. 
The sponsor representative will be available between visits if the Investigator(s) or other staff at the 
centre needs information and advice about the study conduct. 
9.2.1 Source data 
9.2.2 Study agreements 
Agreements between AstraZeneca and the Investigator Sponsor should be in place before any 
study-related procedures can take place, or subjects are enrolled. 
9.2.3 Archiving of study documents 
The study site (and the Principal Investigator) will retain essential documents in accordance to ICH 
GCP. 
9.2.4 Deviation from the clinical study protocol 
The Investigator(s) must not deviate from or make any changes to the protocol without documented 
agreement between the Principal Investigator and the IRB approval based on its deliberations.  
However, this shall not apply to cases where the deviation or change is necessary to avoid an 
immediate hazard to the subjects or for other compelling medical reasons.  
9.3 Study timetable and end of study 
The end of the study is defined as ‘the last visit of the last patient undergoing the study’. End 
of treatment will not occur until the LPLV occurs of the patient who was deriving clinical 
benefit or when AZD9291 is discontinued. The study is expected to start in Q2 2017 and to end by 
Q2 2019. The study may be terminated at individual centres if the study procedures are not being 
performed according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), or if recruitment is slow. AstraZeneca may also 
terminate the entire study prematurely if concerns for safety arise within this study or in any other 


 
 
study with AZD9291. 
9.4 Data management  
Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Reconciliation 
SAE reconciliation reports are produced and reconciled with the Patient Safety database 
and/or the investigational site. 
 
Data Management of genotype data 
Any genotype data generated in this study will be stored in the appropriate secure system within 
principle investigator site. 
 
Data associated with human biological samples 
Data associated with biological samples will be transferred from each participating centres to 
principle investigator site. 
10. ETHICAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 
10.1 Ethical conduct of the study 
The study will be performed in accordance with ethical principles that have their origin in the 
Declaration of Helsinki and are consistent with ICH/Good Clinical Practice, and all applicable 
regulatory requirements.   
10.2 Subject data protection 
The Informed Consent Form will incorporate (or, in some cases, be accompanied by a separate 
document incorporating) wording that complies with relevant data protection and privacy legislation. 
10.3 Ethics and regulatory review 
An Ethics Committee should approve the final study protocol, including the final version of the 
Informed Consent Form and any other written information and/or materials to be provided to the 
subjects.  The Investigator will ensure the distribution of these documents to the applicable Ethics 
Committee, and to the study site staff. The opinion of the Ethics Committee should be given in 
writing.  If required by local regulations, the protocol should be re-approved by the Ethics 
Committee annually. Before enrolment of any subject into the study, the final study protocol, 
including the final version of the Informed Consent Form, is approved by the national regulatory 


 
 
authority or a notification to the national regulatory authority is done, according to local regulations. 
Safety updates/reports will be provided to regulatory authorities, ethics committees and Principal 
Investigators in accordance with local requirements and agreement with AstraZeneca. 
10.4 Informed consent 
The Principal Investigator(s) at each centre will: 
• 
Ensure each subject is given full and adequate oral and written information about the 
nature, purpose, possible risk and benefit of the study 
• 
Ensure each subject is notified that they are free to discontinue from the study at any time 
• 
Ensure that each subject is given the opportunity to ask questions and allowed time to 
consider the information provided 
• 
Ensure each subject provides signed and dated informed consent before conducting any 
procedure specifically for the study 
• 
Ensure the original, signed Informed Consent Form(s) is/are stored appropriately 
• 
Ensure a copy of the signed Informed Consent Form is given to the subject 
• 
Ensure that any incentives for subjects who participate in the study as well as any provisions 
for subjects harmed as a consequence of study participation are described in the informed consent 
form that is approved by an Ethics Committee. 
10.5 Changes to the protocol and informed consent form 
If there are any substantial changes to the study protocol, then these changes will be documented 
in a study protocol amendment and where required in a new version of the study protocol (Revised 
Clinical Study Protocol). The amendment is to be approved by the relevant Ethics Committee and if 
applicable, also the national regulatory authority approval, before implementation.  Local 
requirements are to be followed for revised protocols. 
If a protocol amendment requires a change to a centre’s Informed Consent Form, the centre’s Ethics 
Committee are to approve the revised Informed Consent Form before the revised form is used. If 
local regulations require, any administrative change will be communicated to or approved by each 
Ethics Committee.
