Purpose

This research study is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for EGFR-Mutated Advanced Lung Cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are Niraparib and Osimertinib.

Detailed Description

      This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational
      drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for
      further studies. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied.

      The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved niraparib for this specific
      disease but it has been approved for other uses.

      The FDA has approved osimertinib as a treatment option for this disease.

      Niraparib is a type of drug called a "PARP inhibitor", which blocks DNA (the genetic material
      of cells) damage from being repaired or may prevent damage from occurring in the first place.
      In cancer treatment, inhibiting PARP may help kill cancer cells through deadly DNA damage.
      PARP inhibition may be a treatment option for participants with this type of cancer due to
      altered repair and protection of tumor DNA.

      Osimertinib is an inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). In this type of
      cancer there is a mutation in the EGFR which is allowing the cancer to grow when it is not
      supposed to. Osimertinib blocks mutated EGFR, which may cause tumor regression (when the
      tumor starts to shrink) and prevent the spread of the cancer.

      In this research study, the investigators are looking to see whether the combination of
      niraparib and osimertinib is safe and well tolerated and what the best dose of niraparib is
      in participants with EGFR-Mutated Advanced Lung Cancer. The investigators also hope that the
      combination of niraparib and osimertinib will stop the cancer from growing and spreading.

             may enroll with permission of the PI.

          -  The effects of Niraparib on the developing human fetus are unknown but based on its
             mechanism of action Niraparib may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant
             woman. Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate
             contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study
             entry through 180 days after the last dose of study treatment. Should a woman become
             pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this
             study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled
             on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for
             the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of Niraparib
             administration.

          -  Female participant must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days
             prior to taking study treatment if of childbearing potential, or is of nonchildbearing
             potential. Nonchildbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical
             reasons):

             --≥ 45 years of age and has not had menses for >1 year

               -  Patients who have been amenorrhoeic for <2 years without history of a

                  Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of
                  the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation must be
                  confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure, otherwise the patient
                  must be willing to use 2 adequate barrier methods throughout the study, starting
                  with the screening visit through 180 days after the last dose of study treatment.
                  See Section 4.4 for a list of acceptable birth control methods. Information must
                  be captured appropriately within the site's source documents. Note: Abstinence is
                  acceptable if this is the established and preferred contraception for the
                  patient.

          -  Ability to take oral medications whole.

             characteristics of the individual therapy, after discussion with the Study PI. For
             investigational therapy, the time frame will not be shortened to less than at least 5

             compression, superior vena cava syndrome, or psychiatric illness/social situations
             that would limit compliance with study requirements.

          -  Participants must not have had any known Grade 3 or 4 anemia, neutropenia or

             abnormality (including active or uncontrolled myelosuppression [ie, anemia,
             leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia]) that might confound the results of the
             study or interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the study
             treatment or that makes it not in the best interest of the patient to participate in
             the opinion of the investigator or sponsor.

          -  Patients must not have known, active hepatitis B/C.

          -  Known disorder affecting gastrointestinal absorption.

          -  Patients must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive children,
             within the projected duration of the study treatment, or for 180 days after the last
             dose of study treatment.

          -  Known HIV-positive participants are ineligible because of the potential for
             pharmacokinetic interactions with Niraparib. In addition, these participants may be at
             increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy.
             Appropriate studies will be undertaken in participants receiving combination
             antiretroviral therapy when indicated, However, HIV testing is not required.
