The assessment of the type and frequency of EGFR and KRAS mutations in lung cancer patients, as well as clinical-prognostic correlation, are crucial in the era of targeted therapies. EGFR-activating mutations predict responsiveness to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and KRAS analysis will be useful in a near future for newest target drugs. In Brazil, few data about the prevalence of EGFR and KRAS mutations is available and their knowledge would allow optimize personalized medicine.
Treatment for patients with mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with specific domain tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has given place to objective clinical response, increase in progression-free survival (PFS) compared to cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, despite clinical success with different TKIs, most patients eventually develop acquired resistance to these agents after an average period of time of 10 months. Recently metformin, an oral hypoglycemic agent, has been associated with reduction in the global risk of incidence and mortality of different types of cancer, by exercising anti-tumor properties. Its role as a chemo-preventive and adjuvant drug in overcoming acquired resistance to chemotherapy, target therapy and immunotherapy in NSCLC is still under discussion. However, preclinical data support the role as an adjuvant drug in the treatment of NSCLC in combination with chemotherapy or EGFR-TKIs. This evidence led to examine the effects of metformin in combination with EGFR-TKIs in a NSCLC cellular line panel, obtaining a different sensibility to the unique use with EGFR-TKIs. The combination of metformin and TKIs reduced the colony forming capacity and proliferation, and induced a huge pro-apoptotic effect in NSCLC cellular lines and resistance in EGFR-TKIs. This suggests that metformin may reduce the resistance to TKIs. A retrospective study in patients from our institution from 2008 to 2014, showed significant clinical benefit in patients who used metformin, improving the global survival. Based on these considerations, we propose a phase II randomized study to assess the effect and safety of metformin in combination with TKIs as second line therapy in patients with NSCLC in advanced stages with EGFR mutation. The main objective of this study is to assess the progression-free survival period in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer in treatment with TKIs and metformin versus TKI alone.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of neratinib in combination with everolimus, palbociclib, or trametinib in participants with solid tumors with EGFR mutation/amplification, HER2 mutation/amplification, HER3/4 mutation, or KRAS mutation that do not respond to treatment (refractory) and have spread to other parts of the body (advanced or metastatic). Neratinib, palbociclib, and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as everolimus, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving neratinib with everolimus, palbociclib, or trametinib may work better than neratinib alone in treating participants with solid tumors.
This phase IIa trial studies how well recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein and pembrolizumab work in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body or head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back or spread to other places in the body. Recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein and pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung or head and neck squamous cell cancer.
YH25448 is an oral, highly potent, mutant-selective and irreversible EGFR Tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targets both the T790M mutation and activating EGFR mutations while sparing wild type-EGFR. YH25448 is expected to beneficial for the NSCLC patients with brain metastasis due to good blood brain barrier (BBB) penetration property as well as for the treatment of primary lung lesion and extracranial lesions. This study will be conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of YH25448 in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations.
A comparison of baseline tumor characteristics in oncogene-driven cancers to tumor characteristics after early response to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) targeted treatment will allow identification of early adaptive mechanisms of cell survival. This will facilitate targeting and termination of these survival/ resistance pathways before they develop with rational combinations of therapeutic agents to improve outcomes.
BIM deletion polymorphism might be associated with a poor clinical response to EGFR-TKIs in patients who had NSCLC with EGFR mutations. In the study, the investigators want to use EGFR-TKI with/without chemotherapy as first line treatment in stage IIIB/IV NSCLC patients with both EGFR mutation and BIM deletion polymorphism.
This is a study for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with changes to their cancer cells called EGFR mutations. Mutated EGFR is important in the growth of cancer cells. Medical studies have shown that patients with EGFR mutation-positive lung cancer gain more benefit from targeted therapy drugs such as EGFR inhibitors than with standard chemotherapy. However, a significant proportion of patients carrying these sensitizing mutations do not respond well to the first-generation EGFR-TKIs (erlotinib and gefitinib), indicating the existence of intrinsic resistance mechanisms. Moreover, despite initial response to EGFR-TKIs, acquired resistance is inevitable in all patients. The investigators have recently shown that Cripto-1 overexpression in EGFR mutant NSCLC contributes to the intrinsic resistance to EGFR-TKIs through activation of the SRC oncogene. They have also shown that a combination of an EGFR-TKI (both erlotinib and osimertinib) and a Src inhibitor are synergistic in Cripto-1 overexpressing tumors in the laboratory. This study will be testing a combination of two drugs, dasatinib and osimertinib, to overcome resistance to EGFR-TKIs. Osimertinib (AZD9291) is a third-generation EGFR-TKI, which selectively blocks the activity of EGFR mutants, but spares that of wild type. The advantage of using osimertinib is that it inhibits not only the sensitizing EGFR mutations, but also the T790M mutant, which is the most common mechanism of acquired resistance. Dasatinib is a potent, orally available ABL1/SRC TKI, approved for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in first-line and in patients with imatinib-resistant disease or intolerant, and is being actively studied in patients with advanced solid tumors. The first part of the study will involve finding the highest dose of dasatinib that can be given with osimertinib without causing severe side effects, finding out the side effects seen by giving dasatinib at different dose levels with osimertinib, and measuring the levels of dasatinib and osimertinib in blood at different dose levels. The second part will determine the effects of the combination of dasatinib and osimertinib and determine if the amount of Cripto-1 protein in your tumor or blood makes you more likely to have a good response to the combination of dasatinib and osimertinib.
