Enrollment

No longer recruiting

No. of patients

Up to 40 patients may be recruited to each cohort within Groups A and B. Initially, the study will include 5 cohorts across Groups A and B

Population

Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-sensitizing mutation whose disease has progressed on first-line monotherapy with osimertinib

Design

This is an open-label, multicentre, multi-drug, biomarker-directed Phase 2 platform study in patients with advanced NSCLC harbouring an EGFR-sensitizing mutation with evidence of radiological disease progression following first-line monotherapy with the EGFR inhibitor osimertinib, without any further treatment, allowing for initial assessment of the efficacy, safety and tolerability of multiple study treatments

Key outcome parameters

Primary endpoints:

  • To assess the efficacy of each treatment by evaluation of objective response rate

Endpoint/variable:

  • Endpoint based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1); ORR

Secondary endpoints:

  • To assess the efficacy of each treatment by evaluation of tumour response and overall survival
  • To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of each treatment

Endpoints/variables:

  • Endpoints based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours(RECIST 1.1)
    • Progression-free survival (PFS)
    • Duration of response (DoR)
    • Overall survival (OS)
  • Plasma concentrations of therapeutic agents at selected time points

Note: Plasma concentrations may be measured only for specific agents at limited time points in each study treatment

Intervention

The study will be conducted in three groups (Groups A, B and C). Patient allocation to a study treatment within each group will be based on tumour molecular profile.

Biomarker positive patients will be allocated to a biomarker-matched study treatment in Group A, patients without a biomarker will be allocated to a study treatment in Group B, patients who are not eligible for either of these 2 groups will be allocated to Group C (observational; patients managed in accordance with local practice). Group C ensures that the best treatment choice for each patient is always possible, as certain treatments for specific molecular profiles may be available locally at a given site but not as a treatment within Groups A or B of ORCHARD.

Additionally, Group C allows for continued follow-up of these patients to assess their outcomes and contextualise the results from Groups A and B.

The structure of the protocol will follow a modular design. Study information applicable to all patients participating in this study will be described in the core protocol; each specific study treatment will be described in a separate module

Key inclusion criteria

  • Ability to provide signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol
  • Provision of signed and dated written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures, sampling and analyses

Genetics sample stored for future genetic research (optional) For inclusion in the optional genetic research, study patients must provide informed consent for the genetics (Gx) sampling and analyses. If a patient declines to participate in the genetics research, there will be no penalty or loss of benefit to the patient. A patient who declines genetics research participation will not be
excluded from any other aspect of the main study.

  • Female or male patients aged 18 years or over (Japan only- male or female patients aged 20 years or older) at the time of signing the ICF
  • NSCLC with the following features:
    • Locally advanced or metastatic disease (ie, advanced NSCLC) not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy at study entry
    • Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the lung (patients with mixed histology are eligible if adenocarcinoma is the predominant histology) harbouring EGFR mutation(s) known to be associated with EGFR TKI sensitivity at diagnosis
    • Received only 1 line of therapy, with single-agent osimertinib, for advanced NSCLC, with clinical benefit as judged by investigator discretion

(Note: a ‘line’ of therapy is defined as a daily anti-cancer treatment administered for >14 days, or a single infusion of an intravenous anti-cancer treatment. For instance, patients who have had <14 days of a first- or second- generation TKI prior to osimertinib and stopped due to AEs, would be eligible to enter this study, see also exclusion criteria). Patients previously treated adjuvantly or neo-adjuvantly are eligible per exclusion criteria.

  • Evidence of radiological disease progression on first-line monotherapy with osimertinib 80 mg once daily
  • Suitable for a mandatory biopsy defined as having an accessible tumour; by whichever modality the site uses and, ideally, confirmed by the person who will perform the procedure; and a stable clinical condition that will allow the patient to tolerate the procedure. The biopsy should be performed within 60 days prior to the planned first dose of study treatment
  • Patients must have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1, as defined by at least 1 lesion that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥10 mm at the longest diameter (exceptlymph nodes which must have a short axis ≥15 mm) with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements. Previously irradiated lesions or a lesion in the field of radiation should not be used as measurable disease unless the lesion(s) has/have demonstrated unequivocal disease progression by RECIST 1.1. Target lesions should not be used for the baseline tumour biopsy, unless there are no other lesions suitable for biopsy

  • A minimum life expectancy of 12 weeks
  • Ability to swallow and retain oral medication and have adequate venous access
  • Provision of archival tumour tissue for exploratory research (if such tissue/sample isavailable, its provision is mandatory)
  • Ability and willingness to comply with the study and follow-up
  • Adequate coagulation parameters, defined as:
    • International Normalisation Ratio (INR) <1.5 × ULN and activated partial thromboplastin time <1.5 × ULN unless patients are receiving therapeutic anti-coagulation which affects these parameters
  • Patients with known tumour thrombus or deep vein thrombosis are eligible if clinically stable on low molecular weight heparin, factor Xa inhibitors or thrombin inhibitors for ≥2 weeks
  • Willingness to adhere to the study treatment-specific contraception requirements (please refer to the module describing the patient’s study treatment)
