Study of Osimertinib in Patients With a Lung Cancer With Brain or Leptomeningeal Metastases With EGFR Mutation

NCT04233021

Description:

Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation is mainly based on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting EGFR. 1st or 2nd generation inhibitors have been shown to be superior to chemotherapy in terms of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) when used as 1st line treatment. In case of progression at several metastatic sites, systemic treatment will be considered and will depend on the presence of the TKI resistance mutation, the T790M mutation. In the presence of the T790M mutation, osimertinib is superior to chemotherapy in terms of progression-free survival, while in the absence of the T790M mutation, platinum salt chemotherapy is recommended. In case of local progression, treatment of the site in progression by radiotherapy and/or surgery is considered. As these local treatments can cause long-term adverse effects, systemic treatments are increasingly being considered in this indication. Brain and leptomeningeal metastases are the most frequent isolated site of progression in EGFR mutated patients treated with TKI. The high frequency of isolated cerebral and leptomeningeal progression is a consequence of the lower diffusion of 1st and 2nd generation TKIs in the central nervous system (CNS). Osimertinib is a 3rd generation TKI that has the particularity of overcoming the T790M mutation and having greater brain penetration than 1st or 2nd generation TKIs, which could make it an attractive therapeutic option in the event of brain progression or leptomeningeal progression. However, its efficacy in patients with cerebral or leptomeningeal metastases is still poorly understood.

Purpose

Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation is mainly based on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting EGFR. 1st or 2nd generation inhibitors have been shown to be superior to chemotherapy in terms of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) when used as 1st line treatment. In case of progression at several metastatic sites, systemic treatment will be considered and will depend on the presence of the TKI resistance mutation, the T790M mutation. In the presence of the T790M mutation, osimertinib is superior to chemotherapy in terms of progression-free survival, while in the absence of the T790M mutation, platinum salt chemotherapy is recommended. In case of local progression, treatment of the site in progression by radiotherapy and/or surgery is considered. As these local treatments can cause long-term adverse effects, systemic treatments are increasingly being considered in this indication. Brain and leptomeningeal metastases are the most frequent isolated site of progression in EGFR mutated patients treated with TKI. The high frequency of isolated cerebral and leptomeningeal progression is a consequence of the lower diffusion of 1st and 2nd generation TKIs in the central nervous system (CNS).

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Patient with NSCLC (histological or cytological diagnosis) stage IV (8th UICC TNM
             edition, 2017).

          2. Patients with brain and/or leptomeningeal metastases. For cohort 1, the diagnosis of
             leptomeningeal metastasis requires either 1) detection of cancer cell or EGFR mutation
             in the CSF, or 2) presence of both clinical and neuro-imaging findings typical of LM,
             according to EANO-ESMO criteria.

          3. Presence of an activating EGFR mutation. The following mutations are considered to be
             activating: L858R, exon 19 deletions, exon 19 insertions, L861Q, G719X. The inclusion
             of patients with other mutations should be discussed on a case-by-case basis with
             IFCT.

             The presence of co-mutations on an oncogenic driver should be discussed with the IFCT
             before inclusion of the patient.

          4. Testing for T790M mutation in circulating tumour DNA or tumour tissue sample at
             progression on the last treatment received before inclusion.

             half-lives of the compound or 3 months, whichever is greater, is needed.
