A ctDNA-guided Phase II Trial of Osimertinib in Combination With Sacituzumab Tirumotecan in EGFR-mutated Advanced NSCLC Patients With Positive ctDNA After lead-in Osimertinib Monotherapy

Recruiting now · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

In brief

EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC patients without ctDNA clearance after lead-in osimertinib monotherapy have inferior PFS compared with those with ctDNA clearance. Consequently, these patients might need an intensified therapeutic strategy, such as osimertinib combined with chemotherapy or ADC. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of osimertinib in combination with sacituzumab tirumotecan adaptively in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC patients with positive ctDNA after lead-in osimertinib monotherapy.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Age ≥18 years at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF), regardless of gender;
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced (stage IIIB/IIIC) or metastatic (Stage IV) non-squamous NSCLC not amenable to radical surgery and/or radical radiotherapy (regardless of concurrent/sequential chemotherapy) (according to TNM staging of lung cancer published by the Union for International Cancer Control and American Joint Committee on Cancer (UICC/AJCC), 8th edition);
• Presence of sensitizing EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletion and/or L858R);
• Completion of 3\~5-week first-line treatment with osimertinib monotherapy. Non-PD as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1, and willing to undergo ctDNA testing (patients with positive ctDNA test results will be enrolled in Cohort 1; patients with negative ctDNA test results will be enrolled in observational Cohort 2);
• ≥1 measurable target lesion per RECIST v1.1;
• ECOG Performance Status score of 0 or 1 within 7 days before enrollment;
• Adequate organ and bone marrow function (no blood transfusion, recombinant human thrombopoietin, or colony stimulating factor therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose), defined as follows:
• Hematology: neutrophil count (NEUT) ≥ 1.5×109/L; platelet (PLT) ≥ 100×109/L; hemoglobin(Hb) ≥ 90g/L;
• Liver function: AST and ALT ≤ 2.5× ULN (if liver metastases are present, ≤5 × ULN); total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5×ULN (if liver metastases are present, ≤3 × ULN); serum albumin ≥30g/L;
• Renal function: serum creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min (calculated using the standard Cockcroft-Gault formula);
• Coagulation function: international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5× ULN;
• Use of effective medical contraception during the study treatment period and for 6 months after the end of dosing for female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects with partners of childbearing potential;
• Willingness to participate in the study, sign the ICF, and comply with the protocol-specified visits and relevant procedures.

You may not qualify if…

• For NSCLC, histologically or cytologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma component or presence of coexisting small cell lung cancer, neuroendocrine carcinoma, or carcinosarcoma component;
• Known presence of meningeal metastases, brainstem metastases, spinal cord metastases and/or compression, and active brain metastases. Patients with asymptomatic, focal leptomeningeal metastases on contrast-enhanced MRI may be eligible if, in the investigator's opinion, no local therapy or dehydration/symptomatic treatment is required;
• Prior treatment with systemic anti-tumor therapy for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC other than osimertinib;
• Prior treatment with any TROP2-targeted therapy or any therapy that targets topoisomerase I (including ADCs);
• Other malignancies (except cured local tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma of skin, squamous cell carcinoma of skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix) within 3 years prior to enrollment;
• Presence of any of the following cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or risk factors:
• Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, acute or persistent myocardial ischemia, Class III or IV heart failure [according to New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification], symptomatic or poorly controlled serious arrhythmia, cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, and other serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases within 6 months prior to enrollment;
• Previous history of myocardial diseases such as myocarditis, primary cardiomyopathy and specific cardiomyopathy;
• Any peripheral arterial thromboembolic event, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or other serious thromboembolic event within 3 months prior to enrollment;
• Major vascular disease such as aortic aneurysm, aortic dissecting aneurysm that may be life-threatening or require surgery within 6 months prior to first dose;
• Mean corrected QT interval (QTcF) between ventricular depolarization to repolarization > 470 ms;
• Uncontrolled systemic disease as judged by the investigator:
• Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (two consecutive fasting glucose ≥10 mmol/L);
• Poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg);
• Presence of clinically symptomatic pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage (> 1 time/week);
• History of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease (ILD) that required steroids, or has current pneumonitis/ILD, or suspected pneumonitis/ILD that cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening;
• Documented severe dry eye syndrome, severe meibomian gland disease and/or blepharitis, or history of corneal disease that prevents/delays corneal healing;
• Clinically severe lung impairment caused by complications that may involve the lung, or prior pneumonectomy;
• Presence of active chronic inflammatory bowel disease, GI tract obstruction, severe ulcers, gastrointestinal perforation, abdominal abscess, or acute GI tract bleed;
• Active gastrointestinal disease or other conditions that significantly affect the absorption and metabolism of osimertinib (e.g., refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal disease, inability to swallow drug, or previous major bowel resection);
• Tumor invasion or compression of surrounding important organs and blood vessels (e.g. heart, esophagus, superior vena cava, etc.) accompanied by related symptoms (e.g. superior vena cava syndrome), or presence of risk of developing esophagotracheal fistula or esophagopleural fistula;
• Toxicities treated by prior anti-tumor therapy having not recovered to ≤ Grade 1 (as per NCI CTCAE V5.0) or to the levels specified in the eligibility criteria;
• Serious infection within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or active infection requiring systemic anti-infective therapy within 2 weeks prior to enrollment;
• Known active tuberculosis;
• Presence of active hepatitis B (HBV-DNA test is required in case of hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] positive; HBV-DNA ≥ 2000 IU/mL or above the lower limit of detection, whichever is higher) or hepatitis C (hepatitis C antibody positive, and HCV-RNA > the lower limit of detection);
