Purpose

This phase II trial studies how well osimertinib works in treating participants with stage I-IIIA Epithelial Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) -mutant non-small cell lung cancer before surgery. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking mutant EGFR signaling in cancer cells.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To evaluate the efficacy of osimertinib as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with surgically
      resectable EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To evaluate the safety of osimertinib given as neoadjuvant therapy in early stage
      EGFR-mutant NSCLC participants.

      II. To evaluate whether neoadjuvant osimertinib treatment increases the frequency of tumors
      that are unresectable due to adverse events or disease progression.

      III. To evaluate secondary measures of clinical efficacy in early stage EGFR-mutant NSCLC
      patients treated with osimertinib induction therapy.

      TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To evaluate long-term measures of efficacy in patients treated with osimertinib
      neoadjuvant therapy.

      II. To explore tissue and cell-free biomarkers that may be predictive of response or primary
      resistance to osimertinib neoadjuvant therapy.

      OUTLINE:

      Participants receive osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats
      every 28 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
      toxicity. Patients then undergo surgical resection of their cancer.

      After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30 days then every 3
      months for up to 1 year.

Treatment (osimertinib)ExperimentalParticipants receive 80mg osimertinib orally, once a day (PO QD) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a minimum of 1 cycle prior to surgery in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Investigators will have the option to give a second cycle of study drug prior to surgery if clinically indicated. Depending on the timing of the final scans, patients may ultimately receive up to two weeks additional therapy with study drug beyond end of cycle 1 (or cycle 2) while awaiting surgery. Patients then undergo surgical resection of their cancer. No treatment with the study drug will be given after surgery.

Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Major pathological response rate (MPR)
Time Frame:Up to 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:Tumors that exhibit =< 10% viable tumor will meet the criteria for a major pathological response. MPR rate will be determined in patients who receive at least one dose of study drug and become ineligible for surgery either because of disease progression or adverse event will be deemed not to have achieved MPR. The major pathological response rate will be reported with 95% confidence intervals.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame:Up to 70 days
Safety Issue:
Description:The frequency and percentages of patients with a best overall response rate of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD) determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria and by investigator's assessment will be determined from the time of treatment until surgery. The frequency and percentages of patients with a best ORR of CR, PR, SD, or PD will be determined. The ORR will be reported with 95% confidence intervals.
Measure:Mean Disease-free survival (DFS)
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:DFS will be calculated as 1+ the number of days from date of surgical resection to documented radiographic relapse/progression or death due to any cause over a period of 60 months. The Kaplan-Meier analysis will be used to calculate the median DFS with 95% confidence interval.
Measure:Disease-free survival rate (DFS)
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:DFS will be calculated as 1+ the number of days from date of surgical resection to documented radiographic relapse/progression or death due to any cause over a period of 60 months. The 5-year DFS rate will be calculated as the percentage of patients who are disease free at 5 years. This will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method
Measure:Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:5-year OS rate will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method . OS will be defined as the 1+ the number of days from surgical resection to death due to any cause over a period of 60 months. The Kaplan-Meier analysis will be used to calculate the median OS with 95% confidence interval.
Measure:Depth of response (DpR)
Time Frame:Up to 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:DpR will be defined as the percentage change in tumor burden by RECIST criteria at best response versus baseline imaging. DpR will be summarized using descriptive statistics and correlated with patient outcomes using hazard ratios via the Cox proportional hazards model.
Measure:Pathologic complete response rate (pCR)
Time Frame:Up to 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:The pCR is defined as absence of (0%) viable tumor present histologically in the resected tumor specimen
Measure:Number of Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs)
Time Frame:Up to 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:Treatment-emergent adverse events will be classified according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03.
Measure:Percentage of participants unable to undergo surgical resection
Time Frame:Up to 70 days
Safety Issue:
Description:Rate of conversion from operable to non-operative will be recorded as rate of patients initially assessed as surgically resectable, who are subsequently unable to undergo surgical resection due to either treatment-related adverse events (AEs) or disease progression.
Measure:Percentage of surgical complications
Time Frame:Up to 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:Rate of surgical complications occurring prior to the end of treatment visit will be reported
