Osimertinib and Tegavivint as First-Line Therapy for the Treatment of Metastatic EGFR-Mutant Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This phase Ib trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of osimertinib and tegavivint as first-line therapy in treating patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Osimertinib and tegavivint may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description
-----------------
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Assess the safety and tolerability of osimertinib (AZD9291) in combination with tegavivint (BC2059) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the objective response rate (ORR) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059. II. Determine the progression free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059. III. Determine the duration of response (DOR) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059. IV. Determine the overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059. CORRELATIVE/EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate biomarkers of EGFR, Notch3, and beta-catenin pathway activity in tumor biopsies and blood samples. II. Assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD9291 and BC2059 in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC. III. Assess circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (ctDNA) at baseline, following 2 and 4 weeks of treatment to evaluate for clearance, and at time of progression to assess for changes in EGFR mutation status. IV. Measure response using computed tomography (CT) tumor volumetry and dynamic positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. V. Identify a gene signature that may be predictive of treatment response or resistance using ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing of tumor tissue. OUTLINE: Patients receive osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and tegavivint intravenously (IV) on day 1. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive osimertinib PO QD on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days and then for 4 years.

Participation Criteria
=================
Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: Age >= 18 years. Children are excluded from this study because neither dosing nor safety data are currently available for AZD9291 or BC2059 in patients < 18 years of age Pathology-confirmed metastatic NSCLC A common activating mutation must be present in the EGFR gene, i.e., exon 19 deletion or L858R. The presence of uncommon EGFR mutations, e.g., G719X, S768I, or L861Q are also permitted if they co-occur with a common activating mutation. Mutation status must be determined using a tumor biopsy by local Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified assessment. Mutations identified by blood-based testing can be provided, but must be verified by tumor biopsy The presence of a concurrent T790M mutation, while uncommon in patients who are naïve to treatment with EGFR TKIs, is also permitted Measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 criteria Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%) The patient must be able to swallow pills Life expectancy > 3 months Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL Platelets >= 100,000/mcL Hemoglobin >= 90 g/L Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit normal (ULN) and up to 3 mg/dL for patients with Gilbert's Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase ALT (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 x institutional ULN and =< 5 x institutional ULN for patients with liver metastases Creatinine within 1.5 x ULN OR glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 50 mL/min/1.73 m^2 (measured or calculated by Cockcroft and Gault equation) -confirmation of creatinine clearance is only required for patients with creatinine levels above institutional upper limit of normal If evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy if indicated If history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, it must be treated and have an undetectable viral load Patients with treated brain metastases are asymptomatic and not requiring ongoing treatment Patients with new or progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or leptomeningeal disease are eligible if the treating physician determines that immediate central nervous system (CNS)-specific treatment is not required and is unlikely to be required during the first cycle of therapy. Clinical stability on a stable dose of decadron is permitted Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment will not interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational drugs are eligible for this trial Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients must be class 2B or better Ability to understand and sign a written informed consent document Exclusion Criteria: Prior treatment with an EGFR TKI in any setting Patients who have not recovered from adverse events (AEs) due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1), with the exception of alopecia Past medical history of interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial lung disease, radiation pneumonitis requiring steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease Patients who are receiving any other investigational agent or immunotherapy within five half-lives of the compound or 3 months, whichever is greater Patients with an uncontrolled intercurrent illness Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition as BC2059 or AZD9291. Patients with hypersensitivity to any of the inactive excipients should also be excluded Currently receiving (or unable to stop use prior to receiving the first dose of study treatment) medications or herbal supplements known to be potent inducers of CYP3A4 (wash-out periods vary. All patients must try to avoid concomitant use of any medications, herbal supplements and/or ingestion of foods with known inducer effects on CYP3A4 Pregnant women are excluded from this study because BC2059 has the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. There is also an unknown but potential risk for AEs in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with AZD9291 or BC2059. Breastfeeding patients will be excluded Patients with a significant history of cardiovascular disease (e.g., myocardial infarction [MI], thrombotic or thromboembolic event in the last 6 months) Any of the following cardiac criteria: Mean resting corrected QT interval (corrected QT [QTc] using Fredericia's formula [QTcF]) > 470 msec.

| Overall response rate (ORR) | Defined as patients with complete or partial response using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1. will be calculated as the proportion of patients who achieve a response to therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. An evaluable patient is defined as an eligible patient who has received at least one dose of therapy. All evaluable patients will be included in calculating the ORR for the study along with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals (CIs) (assuming that the number of patients who respond is binomially distributed). | Up to 4 years | 
| Progression free survival | Survival will initially be modeled using Kaplan-Meier methods, resulting in median survival times with 95% CI, assuming sufficient events have occurred. | From initiation of therapy to disease progression or death, assessed up to 4 years | 
| Duration of response |  | From objective response to disease progression or death, assessed up to 4 years | 
| Overall survival | Survival will initially be modeled using Kaplan-Meier methods, resulting in median survival times with 95% CI, assuming sufficient events have occurred. | From start of treatment until death of any cause, assessed up to 4 years |
