Osimertinib to Suppress the Progression of Remaining GGN for EGFR Mutation-positive Stage IB-IIIA Lung Adenocarcinoma

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is an open label, phase II study to assess the efficacy of osimertinib (80 mg, orally, once daily) to suppress the progression of remaining GGN(s) in other lobes following surgical resection for actionable EGFR mutation-positive stage IB-IIIA lung adenocarcinoma.

Detailed Description
-----------------
GGN (Ground-glass opacity nodule) is defined as rounded areas of homogeneous or heterogeneous increased attenuation in computed tomography (CT) scans, which are lower in density with regard to surrounding soft tissue structures, such as vessels, that is generally associated with the early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (Lee et al 2011). Therefore, some insist that the malignancy-favored GGO should be called GGN. Multiple pure GGO lesions detected in patients undergoing pulmonary resection for lung adenocarcinoma have a high possibility of malignancy if the size is greater than 7.5 mm. (Kim et al 2009) Nowadays, GGNs of the lung are increasingly detected with thin-section CT scan. GGNs are categorized as pure GGNs and mixed GGNs according to the images from a high-resolution CT. Usually, lung adenocarcinoma with synchronous GGNs is considered a distinct disease entity in multiple synchronous lung cancers. Few studies have performed next-generation sequencing analysis of these synchronous sequential lesions. Recent study shows that multiple synchronous lesions in the same patient showed different mutation profiles (Park et al 2018) That suggests that adenocarcinoma and synchronous GGNs are genetically independent tumor. But interestingly, driver gene mutations were homogeneously distributed. These findings support the relevance of molecular characterization of lung adenocarcinoma and accompanying GGNs. The development of a standardized approach to the interpretation and management of GGNs remain critically important given that peripheral adenocarcinomas represent the most common type of lung cancer, with evidence of increasing frequency. The surgical management of patients with remaining GGN(s) who underwent surgery for the main tumor is still controversial. Although surgical approaches for the remaining lesions depend on their anatomical location, size, and number, as well as the patient's age and pulmonary function, the decision usually depends on the surgeon's judgment; no standard criteria have been established for the selection of the lesions to be treated, nor the method of management of the residual nodules in cases of resectable lung adenocarcinoma with synchronous GGNs. If GGNs are located deep in the hilum or scattered in different lobes or contralateral lung, they cannot be resected simultaneously so that may require additional surgery or radiation therapy. Investiators hypothesized that, in patients with confirmed EGFR mutation positive disease, postoperative osimertinib may regress synchronous GGNs, and eventually, avoid the need of repeated surgery. The purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of osimertinib to regress synchronous GGNs in other lobes by osimertinib for stage IB-IIIA adenocarcinoma after curative resection.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| To assess the efficacy of osimertinib on the regression of additional GGN(s) | Regression rate of each individual GGN using investigator assessments by comparing the size of GGN(s) on the initial CT scan (at screening) to that in the last follow-up scan, assessed by a blinded independent central review (BICR) of the radiologic examination of each patient; We will conduct the quantitative analysis of GGNs on the initial and follow-up CT scans via VOI (Volume of Interest) segmentation. The findings of each GGN on the initial and follow-up CT scans will be analyzed as follows: (1) diameter of the GGO component, (2) diameter of the solid component, (3) volume, (4) mass, (5) density, and (6) a histogram of CT attenuation. Regression is defined as follows: (1) disappearance of GGN, 2) more than 25% decrease in longest diameter and no increase of mean density or 3) documented evidence of 25% decrease in kurtosis, skewness, mean density or mass in case of less than 25% decrease in longest diameter | The imaging modalities used for GGN assessments will be CT scan (1 mm thin-section) of chest. Baseline, 12weeks, 24weeks, 36weeks, 52weeks and then every 24weeks until 5years assessments should be performed |
