This phase Ib trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of
osimertinib and tegavivint as first-line therapy in treating patients with EGFR-mutant
non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic).
Osimertinib and tegavivint may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes
needed for cell growth.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Assess the safety and tolerability of osimertinib (AZD9291) in combination with tegavivint
(BC2059) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) and determine
the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the objective response rate (ORR) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC
treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059.
II. Determine the progression free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant
NSCLC treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059.
III. Determine the duration of response (DOR) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC
treated with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059.
IV. Determine the overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated
with the combination of AZD9291 and BC2059.
CORRELATIVE/EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate biomarkers of EGFR, Notch3, and beta-catenin pathway activity in tumor biopsies
and blood samples.
II. Assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD9291 and BC2059 in patients with metastatic
EGFR-mutant NSCLC.
III. Assess circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (ctDNA) at baseline, following 2
and 4 weeks of treatment to evaluate for clearance, and at time of progression to assess for
changes in EGFR mutation status.
IV. Measure response using computed tomography (CT) tumor volumetry and dynamic positron
emission tomography (PET)/CT.
V. Identify a gene signature that may be predictive of treatment response or resistance using
ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing of tumor tissue.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and tegavivint
intravenously (IV) on day 1. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 cycles in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive osimertinib PO QD on days
1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days and then for 4
years.

also permitted if they co-occur with a common activating mutation. Mutation status
must be determined using a tumor biopsy by local Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act
(CLIA)-certified assessment. Mutations identified by blood-based testing can be
provided, but must be verified by tumor biopsy
- The presence of a concurrent T790M mutation, while uncommon in patients who are naïve
to treatment with EGFR TKIs, is also permitted

[SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase ALT (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =<
2.5 x institutional ULN and =< 5 x institutional ULN for patients with liver
metastases
- Creatinine within 1.5 x ULN OR glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 50 mL/min/1.73 m^2

clearance is only required for patients with creatinine levels above institutional
upper limit of normal

undetectable on suppressive therapy if indicated

undetectable viral load
- Patients with treated brain metastases are asymptomatic and not requiring ongoing
treatment
- Patients with new or progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or
leptomeningeal disease are eligible if the treating physician determines that
immediate central nervous system (CNS)-specific treatment is not required and is
unlikely to be required during the first cycle of therapy. Clinical stability on a
stable dose of decadron is permitted
- Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment will
not interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational drugs are
eligible for this trial

treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac
function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be
eligible for this trial, patients must be class 2B or better
