HERTHENA-Lung01: This Phase II trial is trying to understand the effectiveness of an immunotherapy (patritumab deruxtecan) in people with metastatic or locally advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancerA Phase 2 Randomized Open-Label Study of Patritumab Deruxtecan (U3-1402) in Subjects With Previously Treated Metastatic or Locally Advanced EGFR-mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Clinical summary

Summary

This is a randomised trial with two experimental arms. Participants in Experimental Arm 1 will receive patritumab deruxtecan (fixed dose) 5.6mg/kg, administered intravenously, every 3 weeks (Q3W). Participants in Experimental Arm 2 will receive patritumab deruxtecan (Up-Titration), administered intravenously, every 3 weeks (Q3W).

Conditions

This trial is treating patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Eligibility

Inclusion

Participants must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for inclusion in this study.

  • Sign and date the tissue informed consent form (ICF) and the main ICF, prior to the start of any study-specific qualification procedures.
  • Male or female participants aged ≥18 years (follow local regulatory requirements if the legal age of consent for study participation is >18 years old).
  • Histologically or cytologically documented locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC not amenable to curative surgery or radiation.
  • Documentation of radiological disease progression while on/after receiving most recent treatment regimen for locally advanced or metastatic disease. Participants must have received both of the following:

    • Prior treatment with osimertinib. Participants receiving an EGFR TKI at the time of signing informed consent should continue to take the EGFR TKI until 5 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Participants in South Korea known to harbor a clinically actionable genomic alteration in addition to EGFR mutation (e.g., anaplastic lymphoma kinase [ALK] or ROS1 protocol oncogene 1 [ROS1] fusion) for which treatment is available must have also received prior treatment with at least 1 approved genotype-directed therapy, unless unable (i.e., if contraindicated). No new testing for these genomic alterations (e.g., ALK or ROS1 fusion) is required for Screening.
    • Systemic therapy with at least 1 platinum-based chemotherapy regimen.
  • Documentation of an EGFR-activating mutation detected from tumor tissue or blood sample: exon 19 deletion or L858R.
  • At least 1 measurable lesion confirmed by BICR as per RECIST v1.1
  • Consented and willing to provide required tumor tissue of sufficient quantity and of adequate tumor tissue content. Required tumor tissue can be provided as either:

    • Pretreatment tumor biopsy from at least 1 lesion not previously irradiated and amenable to core biopsy OR
    • Archival tumor tissue collected from a biopsy performed within 3 months prior to signing of the tissue consent and since progression while on or after treatment with the most recent cancer therapy regimen.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Standard of 0 or 1 at Screening.
  • Has adequate bone marrow reserve and organ function based on local laboratory data within 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1:

    • Platelet count : ≥100,000/mm^3 or ≥100 × 10^9/L (platelet transfusions are not allowed up to 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 to meet eligibility)
    • Hemoglobin: ≥9.0 g/dL (transfusion and/or growth factor support is allowed)
    • Absolute neutrophil count: ≥1500/mm^3 or ≥1.5 × 10^9/L
    • Serum creatinine (SCr) or creatinine clearance (CrCl): SCr ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), OR CrCl ≥30 mL/min as calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation or measured CrCl
    • Aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase: ≤3 × ULN (if liver metastases are present, ≤5 × ULN)
    • Total bilirubin: ≤1.5 × ULN if no liver metastases (<3 × ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert's syndrome [unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia] or liver metastases)
    • Serum albumin: ≥2.5 g/dL
    • Prothrombin time (PT) or PT-International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)/PTT: ≤1.5 × ULN, except for subjects on coumarin-derivative anticoagulants or other similar anticoagulant therapy, who must have PT-INR within therapeutic range as deemed appropriate by the Investigator

Exclusion

Participants meeting any exclusion criteria for this study will be excluded from this study.

  • Any previous histologic or cytologic evidence of small cell OR combined small cell/non-small cell disease in the archival tumor tissue or pretreatment tumor biopsy.
  • Any history of interstitial lung disease (including pulmonary fibrosis or radiation pneumonitis), has current interstitial lung disease (ILD), or is suspected to have such disease by imaging during screening.
  • Clinically severe respiratory compromise (based on Investigator's assessment) resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses including, but not limited to:

    • Any underlying pulmonary disorder (eg, pulmonary emboli within 3 months prior to the study enrollment, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD]), restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion);
    • Any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders with pulmonary involvement (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis); OR prior complete pneumonectomy.
  • Is receiving chronic systemic corticosteroids dosed at >10 mg prednisone or equivalent anti-inflammatory or any form of immunosuppressive therapy prior to enrollment. Participants who require use of bronchodilators, inhaled or topical steroids, or local steroid injections may be included in the study.
  • Evidence of any leptomeningeal disease.
  • Evidence of clinically active spinal cord compression or brain metastases.
  • Inadequate washout period prior to Cycle 1 Day 1, defined as:

    • Whole brain radiation therapy <14 days or stereotactic brain radiation therapy <7 days;

    • Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy <21 days;
    • Major surgery (excluding placement of vascular access) <28 days;

    • Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer;
    • Superficial bladder tumors (Ta, Tis, T1);
    • Adequately treated intraepithelial carcinoma of the cervix uteri;
    • Low risk non-metastatic prostate cancer (with Gleason score <7, and following local treatment or ongoing active surveillance);
    • Any other curatively treated in situ disease.
  • Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease prior to Cycle 1 Day 1
  • Active hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C infection, such as those with serologic evidence of viral infection within 28 days of Cycle 1 Day 1.
  • Participant with any human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
