Olaparib (LYNPARZA) Plus Durvalumab (IMFINZI) in EGFR-Mutated Adenocarcinomas That Transform to Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Other Neuroendocrine Tumors

NCT04538378

Description:

Background: Lung cancers with EGFR mutations may develop resistance to therapies targeting this protein by evolving/being transformed into small cell or neuroendocrine cancers. There are no standard treatments for it. Researchers want to see if a new combination of drugs can help. Objective: To see if the combination of durvalumab and olaparib will cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older who had EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that was treated and now transformed to SCLC or another neuroendocrine tumor. Design: Participants will be screened under a separate protocol. They may have a tumor biopsy. Participants will have a physical exam. They will have a review of their symptoms, their medicines, and their ability to do their normal activities. They will have blood tests. They will have an electrocardiogram to evaluate their heart. Participants will have a computed tomography (CT) scan, a series of x-rays taken of parts of the body. Participants will get durvalumab on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle. It is given through a small plastic tube that is put in an arm vein. They will take olaparib by mouth twice every day. They will keep a medicine diary. Participants will take the study drugs until their disease gets worse or they have unacceptable side effects. About 30 days after they stop taking the study drugs, participants will have a follow-up visit. Then they will be contacted every 6 months for the rest of their life....

Detailed Description

      Background:

      Targeted therapies designed for specific genetic alterations, known as cancer driver
      mutations, have changed the treatment paradigm in advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma
      (NSCLC). Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are
      effective in NSCLC with activating mutation in the EGFR. Although most patients achieve
      robust responses to EGFR TKIs with tumor shrinkage and symptomatic relief, drug resistance
      eventually develops in the majority of patients.

      Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) transformation has been reported as one of the mechanisms of
      acquired resistance to EGFR TKIs.

      Several phase III trials showed durable response with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)
      inhibitors in the breast and ovarian cancer with BRCA mutation, a tumor suppressor gene
      involving homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway, and several PARP inhibitors are now
      FDA approved for these cancers.

      Immune checkpoint blockade appears to be most effective against hypermutated tumors,
      suggesting that clinical responses correlate with an increased propensity to produce
      neoantigens.

      EGFR-mutated transformed SCLC is an aggressive cancer whose clinical course is similar to
      that of SCLC. There are no standard treatments for this disease and prospective studies have
      not been conducted to date. Immune checkpoint inhibitors alone are not effective for
      EGFR-mutated transformed SCLC. Analyses of EGFR transformed SCLC tumors suggest that these
      tumors are HRR deficient.

      Objective:

      To assess the efficacy of a combination of durvalumab and olaparib with respect to best
      overall response (BOR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria (RECIST 1.1) in patients
      with EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that transform to SCLC and other
      neuroendocrine carcinomas.

      Eligibility:

      Subjects with initial diagnosis of EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and
      histologically or cytologically confirmed transformation to small cell/neuroendocrine tumors
      following treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

      Subjects should have received platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy for
      small cell/neuroendocrine transformation or refused such therapy.

      Age >=18 years.

      Subjects must have measurable disease.

      ECOG performance status <= 2

      Adequate organ function

      Design:

      This is an open label Phase II study

      Patients will be treated with durvalumab (1,500 mg), IV, every 4 weeks and olaparib (BID, 600
      mg total daily dose) in a 28-day cycles.

      Patients will be evaluated for toxicity every 4 weeks by CTCAE v5.0, and for response every 8
      (+/-1) weeks by RECIST 1.1

      Treatment will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

          -  The effects of the study treatment on the developing human fetus are unknown; thus,
             women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
             (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) from the time of screening
             throughout the total duration of the protocol treatment and for at least three months
             after the last dose of the study drug (s). 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. Postmenopausal or evidence of
             non-childbearing status for women of childbearing potential: negative urine or serum
             pregnancy test within 28 days of enrollment and confirmed prior to treatment on day 1.
             Postmenopausal is defined as: amenorrheic for 1 year or more following cessation of
             exogenous hormonal treatments; luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating
             hormone (FSH) levels in the post- menopausal range for women under 50,

             menopause with more than one-year interval since last menses; surgical sterilization
             (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy). Male patients must use a condom from the
             time of screening throughout the total duration of the protocol treatment and for 3
             months after the last dose of study treatment when having sexual intercourse with a
             pregnant woman or with a woman of childbearing potential. Female partners of male
             patients should also use a highly effective form of contraception if they are of
             childbearing potential.

          -  Patients with symptomatic brain metastases will be excluded from trial secondary to
             poor prognosis. However, patients who have had treatment for their brain metastasis
             and whose brain disease is stable without steroid therapy for 2 weeks may be enrolled.
             Imaging to rule out brain metastases is not required for screening but should be
             performed prior to study enrollment if clinically indicated.

          -  Subjects must be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent
             document

        EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

          -  Major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) within 28 days prior to
             enrollment. Note: local surgery of isolated lesions for palliative intent is
             acceptable.

          -  Patients receiving any medications or substances that are moderate and strong
             inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4.

             corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of
             prednisone or an equivalent corticosteroid. In the case of short-term use of systemic
             corticosteroids (less than 24 hours within 28 days) of greater than 10 mg/day of
             prednisone or an equivalent corticosteroid, the required washout period prior to
             enrollment is 7 days.

             composition of olaparib or durvalumab.

          -  Resting ECG indicating uncontrolled, potentially reversible cardiac conditions, as
             judged by the investigator (e.g., unstable ischemia, uncontrolled symptomatic
             arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, QTcF prolongation >500 ms, electrolyte
             disturbances, etc.), or patients with congenital long QT syndrome.

          -  Active infection including tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical
             history, physical examination and radiographic findings, and TB testing), hepatitis B
             (known positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) result), hepatitis C. Patients with a past
             or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody
             [anti-HBc] and absence of HBsAg) and patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody
             are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HBV or HCV RNA..

          -  HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of potential
             pharmacokinetic interactions with study drugs. However, patients with long-standing
             (>5 years) HIV on antiretroviral therapy > 1 month (undetectable HIV viral load and
             CD4 count > 150 cells/microliters) may be eligible if the PI determines no anticipated
             clinically significant drug-drug interactions.

             ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina
             pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia requiring medications ((except chronic atrial
             fibrillation/flutter with controlled vascular rate), or psychiatric illness/social
             situations that may impair the patient s tolerance of study treatments and, in the
             judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for the study.

          -  Patients unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with
             gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the study medication
             based on primary investigator decision.

          -  Pregnant women are excluded from this study because olaparib is a PARP inhibitor agent
             with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an
             unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to
             treatment of the mother with durvalumab and olaparib, breastfeeding should be
             discontinued if the mother is treated with study drugs.
