Purpose

This is an open -label, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Antitumor Activity of Vactosertib in Combination with durvalumab in patients advanced NSCLC who progressed following platinum-based chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

      This is Phase 1b/2a, open label, multi-center study to assess safety, tolerability,
      pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor activity of vactosertib in combination with durvalumab in
      patients advanced NSCLC. This study has been designed to allow for an investigation of the
      optimal dose of vactosertib in combination with durvalumab. There are two parts to this
      study: Phase 1b, vactosertib dose-escalation study to determine the recommended phase 2 dose
      (RP2D) and Phase 2a, non-randomized parallel dose expansion study to confirm RP2D.

      In the current dose-escalation (Phase 1b) study to determine RP2D, vactosertib dosing will
      begin at 100 mg BID for 5 days per week in combination with durvalumab 1500 mg, Q4W.
      According to the following dose escalation rule, 200 mg BID oral dose as maximum administered
      dose (MAD) will be administered in combination with durvalumab.

      This phase 2a study is a study designed to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of vactosertib in
      combination with durvalumab in a total of 45 patients with PD-L1 positive advanced NSCLC who
      progressed following platinum-based chemotherapy (no prior immunotherapy)

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the
             requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this
             protocol.

          2. Age ≥19 years at the time of screening

          3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1 at
             enrollment

          4. Histological or cytological confirmation of advanced NSCLC who progressed following
             platinum-based chemotherapy.

          5. If there is measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1 identified by the investigator at
             screening and there is at least one non-irradiated lesion suitable for selection as a
             target lesion according to RECIST 1.1 on imaging test, tumor assessment by computed
             tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) must be performed within 28
             days prior to the first dose.

          6. No prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy including, but not limited to, other anti
             CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti programmed cell death ligand 2 (anti-PD-L2)
             antibodies, excluding therapeutic anticancer vaccines for treatment purpose.

          7. In dose escalation phase, 6 DLT evaluable patients whose tumor cell PD-L1 expression
             less than 25% will be enrolled in each cohort. In dose expansion phase, 45 patients
             with confirmed PD-L1-positive NSCLC by using the Ventana SP263 IHC assay will be
             enrolled

               -  Evaluation in newly acquired tumor tissue (preferred) or archival tissue (≤3
                  years old).

               -  If the patient's PD-L1 status has already been assessed using Ventana SP263
                  assay, this test result can be used to assess eligibility for enrollment.

               -  Note: A positive PD-L1 sample is measured using a defined cut-off based on ≥1% of
                  tumor cells with membrane staining of any intensity for PD-L1.

          8. All patients must be able to provide an available tumor sample collected within ≤3
             years after the last anticancer therapies prior to screening. At least 25 patients
             enrolled in the dose expansion phase must be able to provide newly acquired tumor
             biopsy taken within 6 months prior to the first dosing. Tumor lesions used for newly
             acquired biopsies should not be target lesions, unless there are no other lesions
             suitable for biopsy, and only a core needle (not excisional/incisional) biopsy is
             allowed when biopsies are performed on target lesions as there is no other lesions
             suitable for biopsy. In patients with only one target lesion, biopsy for baseline
             tumor evaluation should be performed prior to the imaging test with an interval of at
             least 2 weeks after biopsy. Samples with limited tumor content and fine needle
             aspirate specimens are not acceptable. Specimens from metastatic bone lesions are
             typically unacceptable unless there is a significant soft tissue component. The tumor
             specimen quantity should be as sufficient as possible to allow for exploratory
             biomarker analyses and is preferred in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded blocks. An
             additional subsequent tumour biopsy will be performed on C2D3~6 or C2D10~13 only in
             patients who provide newly acquired tumor biopsy taken within 6 months prior to the
             first dosing. The same tumor lesion should be biopsied at all timepoints, if feasible,
             to avoid introduction of heterogeneity related to the site of tumor or metastasis.

          9. Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:

               -  Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL

                  consultation with their physician.

               -  ALT and AST ≤2.5 × ULN; for patients with hepatic metastases, ALT and AST ≤5 ×
                  ULN

          9. In the case of brain metastases or spinal cord compression, patients with suspected
             brain metastases at screening should undergo a brain MRI (preferred) or CT test using
             IV contrast medium prior to study entry. Brain metastases will not be recorded as

             treated may participate provided they show radiographic stability defined as 2 brain
             imaging results, both of which are obtained after treatment to the brain metastases.
             These imaging scans should both be obtained at least 4 weeks apart and show no
             evidence of intracranial progression. In addition, any neurologic symptoms that
             developed either as a result of the brain metastases or their treatment must have
             resolved or be stable either, without the use of steroids, or are stable on a steroid

             time has not occurred due to the medication administration schedule or PK properties
             of an agent, a longer wash-out period will be required, as agreed by Sponsor and the
             Investigator. Concurrent use of following therapies is acceptable.
