FLAURA2: This phase III trial is trying to determine whether it is more or less effective to use an oral targeted therapy alone or in combination with a type of chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancerA Phase III, Open-label, Randomized Study of Osimertinib With or Without Platinum Plus Pemetrexed Chemotherapy, as First-line Treatment in Patients With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutation Positive, Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Clinical summary

Summary

Eligible participants will be randomised to receive Osimertinib alone or in combination with Pemetrexed chemotherapy, plus cisplatin or carboplatin chemotherapy. Participants will be expected to attend, on average, approximately 15 visits over the first 12 months and then approximately 4 visits per year afterwards.

Conditions

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

A Phase III, Open-label, Randomized Study of Osimertinib With or Without Platinum Plus Pemetrexed Chemotherapy, as First-line Treatment in Patients With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutation Positive, Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Eligibility

Inclusion

  1. Male or female, at least 18 years of age; patients from Japan at least 20 years of age.
  2. Pathologically confirmed non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC of mixed histology is allowed.
  3. Newly diagnosed locally advanced (clinical stage IIIB, IIIC) or metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (clinical stage IVA or IVB) or recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy.
  4. The tumor harbors 1 of the 2 common epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations known to be associated with Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) sensitivity (Ex19del or L858R), either alone or in combination with other epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, which may include T790M.
  5. Patients must have untreated advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy.
  6. WHO PS of 0 to 1 at screening with no clinically significant deterioration in the previous 2 weeks.
  7. Life expectancy >12 weeks at Day 1.
  8. Willing to use contraception as appropriate during the study and for a period of time after discontinuing study treatment.

Exclusion

  1. Spinal cord compression; and unstable brain metastases, with stable brain metastases who have completed definitive therapy, are not on steroids, and have a stable neurological status for at least 2 weeks after completion of the definitive therapy and steroids can be enrolled. Patients with asymptomatic brain metastases can be eligible for inclusion if in the opinion of the Investigator immediate definitive treatment is not indicated
  2. Past medical history of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), drug-induced Interstitial Lung Disease, radiation pneumonitis that required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active Interstitial Lung Disease.
  3. Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolled hypertension and active bleeding diatheses, which in the Investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol, or active infection including Hep. B, Hep. C and HIV. Screening for chronic conditions is not required. Active infection will include any patients receiving treatment for infection.
  4. QT prolongation or any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm.
  5. Inadequate bone marrow reserve or organ function as demonstrated by any of the following laboratory values:

    • Absolute neutrophil count below the lower limit of normal (<LLN)
    • Platelet count below the LLN
    • Hemoglobin <90 g/L. The use of granulocyte colony stimulating factor support, platelet transfusion and blood transfusions to meet these criteria is not permitted.
    • ALT >2.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) if no demonstrable liver metastases or >5 x ULN in the presence of liver metastases
    • AST >2.5 x ULN if no demonstrable liver metastases or >5 x ULN in the presence of liver metastases
    • Total bilirubin >1.5 x ULN if no liver metastases or >3 x ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert's Syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) or liver metastases
    • Creatinine clearance <60 mL/min calculated by Cockcroft and Gault equation or 24 hour urine collection (refer to Appendix I for appropriate calculation)
  6. Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, inability to swallow the formulated product, or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption of osimertinib.
  7. Prior treatment with any systemic anti-cancer therapy for advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) not amenable to curative surgery or radiation including chemotherapy, biologic therapy, immunotherapy, or any investigational drug. Prior adjuvant and neo-adjuvant therapies (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, investigational agents), or definitive radiation/chemoradiation with or without regimens including immunotherapy, biologic therapies, investigational agents are permitted as long as treatment was completed at least 12 months prior to the development of recurrent disease.
  8. Prior treatment with an Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI).
  9. Major surgery within 4 weeks of the first dose of investigational product (IP). Procedures such as placement of vascular access, biopsy via mediastinoscopy or biopsy via video assisted thoracoscopic surgery are permitted.
  10. Radiotherapy treatment to more than 30% of the bone marrow or( with a wide field of radiation within 4 weeks of the first dose of investigational product (IP).
  11. History of hypersensitivity to active or inactive excipients of investigational product (IP) or drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to investigational product (IP).

Exclusion

  • You have been diagnosed with a prior or secondary type of cancer.
  • You have certain types of non-cancer medical conditions.
  • You have previously been treated (or are currently being treated) on a clinical trial.
