Alisertib in Combination With Osimertinib in Metastatic EGFR-mutant Lung Cancer

Recruiting now · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Lung Cancer Metastatic, EGFR Gene Mutation

In brief

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of alisertib when given together with osimertinib in treating patients with EGFR-mutated stage IV lung cancer. Alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking a specific protein (Aurora Kinase A) that researchers believe may be important for the growth of lung cancer. Osimertinib may reduce tumor growth by blocking the action of a certain mutant protein (EGFR). This study may help researchers test the safety of alisertib at different dose levels in combination with osimertinib, and to find out what effects, good and/or bad, it has on EGFR-mutated lung cancer.

• Measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria.
• Clinical laboratory values as specified below within 7 days before the first dose of study drug (if applicable):
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1500/mm\^3
• Absolute lymphocyte count > 500 mm\^3
• Platelets > 100,000/mm\^3
• Hemoglobin (Hgb) > 9 g/dL. Values must be obtained without need for red blood cell transfusion support within 14 days. However, erythrocyte growth factor is allowed as per published American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidelines.
• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). Patients with Gilbert's syndrome may be allowed on study if total bilirubin is <= 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) if direct bilirubin is <= 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
• Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) / aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) / alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 2.5 x ULN. AST and/or ALT may be up to 5 x ULN if with known liver metastases.
• Renal function as defined by calculated creatinine clearance >=30 ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault Formula).
• Willing to provide blood and tissue for correlative research purposes.
• Willing to undergo pre-treatment research biopsy, OR donate archived tissue from a biopsy performed within 60 days of the first dose of study drug is available.
• Female patients who:
• Are postmenopausal (see Appendix 6) for at least 1 year before the screening visit, OR
• Are surgically sterile, OR
• If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 1 highly effective method of contraception and 1 additional effective (barrier) method at the same time (see Appendix 6), from the time of signing the informed consent through 180 days after the last dose of study drug, OR
• Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods], withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female and male condoms should not be used together.)
• Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post-vasectomy), who:
• Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 120 after the last dose of study drug, OR
• Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods], withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female and male condoms should not be used together.)
• Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study-related procedure not part of standard of care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care.
• Currently receiving and tolerating osimertinib 80 mg PO daily with no current grade 2 or greater AE attributable to osimertinib.

You may not qualify if…

• Radiation therapy to more than 25% of the bone marrow. Whole pelvic radiation is considered to be over 25%.
• Prior allogeneic bone marrow or organ transplantation
• Known Gastrointestinal (GI) disease or GI procedures that could interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of alisertib. Examples include, but are not limited to partial gastrectomy, history of small intestine surgery, and celiac disease
• Inability to swallow oral medication or inability or unwillingness to comply with the administration requirements related to alisertib.
• Known history of uncontrolled sleep apnea syndrome and other conditions that could result in excessive daytime sleepiness, such as severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; requirement for supplemental oxygen.
• Requirement for constant administration of proton pump inhibitor, Histamine 2 (H2) antagonist, or pancreatic enzymes throughout the study. The intermittent use of H2-antagonists and antacids (including carafate) is only allowed within these guidelines:
• H2 antagonists until Day -1 and after the dosing of alisertib is done
• Antacid formulations until 2 hours before dosing and after 2 hours following dosing.
• Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) is allowed until Day -5 of first alisertib dose. PPIs are prohibited throughout the study.

Prior to study entry, any electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality at Screening has to be documented by the investigator as not medically relevant.
• QT interval corrected (QTc) using Fridericia's method (QTCF) > 470 milliseconds (msec). The following formula can be used to calculate QTcF for subjects with a wide QRS complex caused by the bundle branch block, QTcF = measured QTcF - (QRS - 100msec).
