Telaglenastat Hydrochloride and Osimertinib in Treating Patients With EGFR-Mutated Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

NCT03831932

Description:

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of telaglenastat hydrochloride when given together with osimertinib in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and a mutation in the EGFR gene. Telaglenastat hydrochloride and osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Purpose

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of telaglenastat hydrochloride when given together with osimertinib in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and a mutation in the EGFR gene. Telaglenastat hydrochloride and osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To assess the safety and tolerability of osimertinib (AZD9291) and CB-839 hydrochloride
      (HCl) (telaglenastat) and determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) in patients with
      metastatic, EGFR activating mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine toxicity profile of the combination of AZD9291 and CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat)
      in patients with metastatic EGFR activating mutation positive NSCLC.

      II. To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat) and AZD9291 in patients
      with metastatic EGFR activating mutation positive NSCLC.

      EXPLORATORY/CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the progression free survival (PFS) of AZD9291 and CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat)
      in patients with EGFR mutation positive NSCLC who have developed progressive disease (PD) on
      front-line EGFR inhibitor therapy.

      II. To determine the overall survival (OS) of AZD9291 and CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat) in
      patients with EGFR mutation positive NSCLC who have developed PD on front-line EGFR inhibitor
      therapy.

      III. To assess cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (cfDNA) and measure changes with
      response to treatment as well as disease progression (EGFR sensitizing mutations, T790M
      resistance mutation, recognized bypass mechanisms).

      IV. To assess circulating levels of glutamine, glutamate, aspartate and asparagine, and
      measure changes with response to treatment as well as disease progression.

      V. To assess 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) parameters
      at baseline and after treatment to evaluate changes with response to treatment as well as
      emergence of disease resistance or progression. (Expansion cohort, select patients only)

      VI. To perform molecular profiling assays on malignant and normal tissues, including, but not
      limited to, whole exome sequencing (WES) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing (RNAseq), in
      order to:

      VIa. To identify potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers beyond any genomic alteration
      by which treatment may be assigned.

      VIb. To identify resistance mechanisms using genomic DNA- and RNA-based assessment platforms.

      OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of telaglenastat hydrochloride followed by
      a dose-expansion study.

      Patients receive telaglenastat hydrochloride orally (PO) twice daily (BID) and osimertinib PO
      once daily (QD) (starting cycle 1 day 16 of phase I). Cycles repeat every 28 days in the
      absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.

             metastases will be permitted as long as the dose is =< 10 mg of prednisone-equivalent
             and has not been increased within 2 weeks of screening

          -  Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does

          -  EXPANSION COHORT: Patients must have had progressive disease on prior first line EGFR
             inhibitor therapy with osimertinib

        Exclusion Criteria:

             patients who have completed definitive therapy, and have had a stable neurological
             status for at least 2 weeks after completion of definitive therapy. Patients may be on
             corticosteroids (=< 10 mg of prednisone-equivalent) to control brain metastases if
             they have been on a stable dose for 2 weeks (14 days) prior to the start 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 CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat) is a

             treatment of the mother with CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat) and AZD9291, breastfeeding
             should be discontinued if the mother is treated with CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat) and

             low-risk prostate cancer)

          -  Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolled
             hypertension and active bleeding diatheses, which in the investigator's opinion makes
             it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize
             compliance with the protocol, or active infection with human immunodeficiency virus
             (HIV). Screening for chronic conditions is not required

          -  Patients with symptomatic CNS metastases who are neurologically unstable

          -  Patients who are at risk for impaired absorption of oral medication including, but not
             limited to, refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases,
             inability to swallow the formulated product or previous significant bowel resection
