Preoperative Amivantamab or Amivantamab and Carboplatin/Pemetrexed Treatment in Patients With Resectable Non-small-cell Lung Cancer Harboring Oncogenic EGFR Mutations (NEOpredict-EGFR)

Recruiting now · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

In brief

The primary objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of four weeks of preoperative antibody therapy with amivantamab. Amivantamab will be administered as monotherapy (stage 1), and combined with carboplatin/pemetrexed chemotherapy (stage 2). Study treatment is followed by standard of care surgery, and (if clinically indicated) standard of care adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy) in patients with early stage or locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer harboring oncogenic EGFR mutations who are eligible for curative resection.

You may qualify if…

• Patients with histologically (core biopsy) or cytologically (e.g., bronchoscopy-guided biopsy) confirmed non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) eligible for anatomic resection, with the following specifications:
• Clinical stages I B, II or selected stage III A (T3 N1, T4 with satellite nodule in the same lung N0/N1, selected T1a-T2b N2 cases considered suitable for primary surgical approach by the multidisciplinary tumor board) according to UICC 8th edition
• Confirmation of an oncogenic EGFR mutation (EGFR p.L858R, EGFR exon 19 in-frame deletion, EGFR exon 20 in-frame insertions, EGFR p.S768I, EGFR p.L861Q, EGFR p.G719x - additional EGFR mutations with clinically validated oncogenicity and susceptibility to amivantamab may be eligible following discussion and approval by the coordinating investigator in his capacity as sponsor representative) by validated assaytechnology (e.g., diagnostic NGS or PCR-based genotyping, adhering to quality standards defined by the nNGM Lung Cancer biomarker standard operating procedure (version 007 or higher) in Germany, or equivalent in Belgium and the Netherlands) in a pretreatment biopsy (primary tumor or lymph node metastasis)
• Males and females, ages >= 18 years, inclusive
• A participant of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG]) within 24 hours prior to the start of study treatment and must agree to further serum or urine pregnancy testing during the study.
• A participant must be (as defined in Appendix IV: Contraceptive Guidance and Collection of Pregnancy Information) either of the following:
• Not of childbearing potential
• Of child-bearing potential and practicing true abstinence during the entire period of the study, including up to 6 months after the last dose of study treatment is given
• Of childbearing potential and practicing 2 methods of contraception, including 1 highly effective user independent method and a second method (examples of highly effective methods of contraception are located in Appendix IV: Contraceptive Guidance and Collection of Pregnancy Information).Participant must agree to continue contraception throughout the study and through 6 months after the last dose of study treatment.
• Note: If the childbearing potential changes after start of the study (e.g., participant of childbearing potential who is not heterosexually active becomes active, premenarchal participant experiences menarche) the participant must begin birth control, as described above
• A participant must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for 6 months after receiving the last dose of study treatment.
• A participant must wear a condom when engaging in any activity that allows for passage of ejaculate to another person during the study and for 6 months after receiving the last dose of study treatment. A participant who is sexually active with a partner of childbearing potential must agree to use a condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository and their partner must also be practicing a highly effective method of contraception (i.e., established use of oral, injected, or implanted hormonal methods of contraception; placement of an intrauterine device [IUD] or intrauterine hormone-releasing system [IUS]). If the participant is vasectomized, they must still use a condom (with or without spermicide) for prevention of passage of exposure through ejaculation, but their partner is not required to use contraception.
• A participant must agree not to donate sperm for the purpose of reproduction during the study and for a minimum of 6 months after receiving the last dose of study treatment.
• Participant must be willing and able to adhere to the lifestyle restrictions specified in this protocol.
• ECOG performance status ≤ 1
• Exclusion of extensive mediastinal lymph node metastases (multilevel N2, N3) by PET/CT and/or invasive mediastinal lymph node staging by EBUS-TBNA and/or staging mediastinoscopy as performed by institutional guidelines.
• Exclusion of distant metastases by standard of care imaging studies, which include but are not limited to PET/CT or PET/MRI, or CT or MRI of thorax, abdomen including pelvic region, and bone scan. Asymptomatic brain metastases will be excluded by MRI or contrastenhanced CT as indicated by institutional guidelines and patient factors.
• Measurable target tumor (pre RECIST 1.1) prior to preoperative study therapy using standard imaging techniques.
• Sufficient pulmonary function (ppFEV1>30%, ppDLCO>30%) to undergo curative lung cancer surgery. Exercise tests should be performed in all patients with FEV1 or DLCO <60% of normal. In case of cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the following basic cut-off values for VO2-peak should be considered: >75% predicted or >20 mL·kg-1·min-1 qualify for pneumonectomy; <35% predicted or <10 mL·kg-1·min-1 indicate high risk for any resection. There is insufficient evidence to recommend specific cut-off values for lobectomy or segmentectomy.
• Adequate hematological, hepatic and renal function parameters:
• Leukocytes ≥ 2,000/mm³, platelets ≥ 100,000/mm³, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/μL, hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (stage 1) or 10 g/dL (stage 2)
• Anti-platelet therapy (such as but not limited to clopidogrel) should be discontinued pre-operatively according to local standards. If this therapy cannot be interrupted due to severe cardiovascular comorbidity, patient is ineligible for the trial
• Adequate coagulation function as defined by International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5, and a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤ 5 seconds above the upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless receiving anticoagulation therapy). Patients receiving warfarin/phenprocoumon or direct oral anticoagulants are to be bridged according to local standards and have achieved stable coagulation profile prior to surgery
• Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal and creatinine clearance >45 mL/min as measured or calculated by Cockcroft- Gault formula for estimated creatinine clearance (Appendix VII)
• Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal, AST and ALT ≤ 3.0 x upper limit of normal, alkaline phosphatase ≤ 6 x upper limit of normal. Subjects with Gilbert's syndrome can be enrolled if conjugated bilirubin is within normal limits
