Her2-positive Lung Cancer Treated With Dedicated Drug

NCT03845270

Description:

HER2 (erbB-2/neu) is a member of the erbB receptor tyrosine kinase family. ERBB2 gene which encodes human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) is a major proliferative driver activating downstream signaling through PI3K-AKT and MEK-ERK. HER2 overexpression or gene amplification is associated with sensitivity to trastuzumab and lapatinib in breast cancer. Among actual lung cancer biomarker, HER2 remains apart. HER2 involvement is known for a long time but clinical research has been stopped for many years since the first clinical trials in unselected patients were negative. Recently trastuzumab + pertuzumab + docetaxel has been tested for first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (CLEOPATRA trial). Analysis of the primary end point showed that patients who received pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel (pertuzumab group) had a significantly longer median progression-free survival, as assessed by independent reviewers an did those who received placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel (control group) (hazard ratio favoring the pertuzumab group, 0.62). There is thus a strong rational for treating HER2 mutated lung cancer patient with these drugs.

Purpose

HER2 (erbB-2/neu) is a member of the erbB receptor tyrosine kinase family. ERBB2 gene which encodes human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) is a major proliferative driver activating downstream signaling through PI3K-AKT and MEK-ERK. HER2 overexpression or gene amplification is associated with sensitivity to trastuzumab and lapatinib in breast cancer. Among actual lung cancer biomarker, HER2 remains apart. HER2 involvement is known for a long time but clinical research has been stopped for many years since the first clinical trials in unselected patients were negative. Recently trastuzumab + pertuzumab + docetaxel has been tested for first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (CLEOPATRA trial). Analysis of the primary end point showed that patients who received pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel (pertuzumab group) had a significantly longer median progression-free survival, as assessed by independent reviewers an did those who received placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel (control group) (hazard ratio favoring the pertuzumab group, 0.62). There is thus a strong rational for treating HER2 mutated lung cancer patient with these drugs.

          5. Prior treatment with at least one regimen of platinum-based chemotherapy with
             documented disease progression.

             Note: taxanes are allowed provided that no grade >2 associated adverse event occurred
             (except hematological toxicity).

          6. Presence of at least one lesion that can be measured by CT scan (RECIST v1.1)

             are allowed to receive transfused RBC to achieve this level. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 ×
             ULN, except in patients with previously documented Gilbert's syndrome, in which case
             the direct bilirubin should be less than or equal to the ULN SGOT and SGPT ≤ 2.5 × ULN
             Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN, Alkaline phosphatase < 5×ULN and SGOT and SGPT <
             5×ULN for patients with hepatic and/or bone metastases Clearance creatinine ≥ 30
             mL/min INR and aPTT ≤ 1.5 x ULN This applies only to patients who are not receiving
             therapeutic anticoagulation; patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation should be
             on a stable dose.

             requirements and restrictions

         12. Estimated life expectancy > 3 months

         13. A female is eligible to enter and participate in this study if she is of:

             Non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant),
             including any female who has undergone:

               -  Hysterectomy.

               -  Bilateral oophorectomy (ovariectomy).

               -  Bilateral tubal ligation.

               -  Or who is post-menopausal:

               -  Patients not using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) must have experienced total
                  cessation of menses for ≥1 year and be greater than 45 years in age, OR, in
                  questionable cases, have a follicle stimulating hormone value >40 mIU/mL and an
                  estradiol value <40 pg/mL (<140 pmol/L).

               -  Patients must discontinue HRT prior to study enrolment due to the potential for
                  inhibition of cytochrome enzymes that metabolize estrogens and progestins. For
                  most forms of HRT, at least 2 4 weeks must elapse between the cessation of HRT
                  and determination of menopausal status; length of this interval depends on the
                  type and dosage of HRT. If a female subject is determined not to be
                  post-menopausal, they must use adequate contraception, as defined immediately
                  below.

             Childbearing potential, including any female who has had a negative serum pregnancy
             test within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment, preferably as close to
             the first dose as possible, and agrees to use adequate contraception during the study
             and for at least 7 months after the last dose of investigational product.
             Contraceptive methods acceptable to IFCT, when used consistently and in accordance
             with both the product label and the instructions of the physician, are as follow:

               -  A non-hormonal intrauterine device with a documented failure rate of less than 1%
                  per year.

               -  Vasectomized partner who is sterile prior to the female subject's entry and is
                  the sole sexual partner for that female.

               -  Complete abstinence from sexual intercourse for 14 days before exposure to
                  investigational product, through the dosing period, and for at least 7 months
                  after the last dose of investigational product.

               -  Two effective forms of non-hormonal contraception (condom with spermicidal jelly,
                  foam suppository or film; diaphragm with spermicide; or male condom and diaphragm
                  with spermicide).

             Note: Oral contraceptives are not allowed.

         14. Female patients who are lactating should discontinue nursing prior to the first dose
             of study drug and should refrain from nursing throughout the treatment period and for
             15 days following the last dose of study drug.

         15. A male with a female partner of childbearing potential is eligible to enter and
             participate in the study if he uses a barrier method of contraception or abstinence
             during the study and for at least 7 months after the last dose of investigational
             product.

         16. Patient will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if either affiliated to or a
             beneficiary of social security insurance.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. History of cancer except cancer dating from over two years ago and considered to be
             cured, appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin
             carcinoma and stage I uterine cancer.

          2. Any approved anti-cancer therapy ≤ 21 days before enrollment. Note: TKIs approved for
             the treatment of NSCLC must be discontinued ≥ 7 days prior to the first study
