Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of Amivantamab as a monotherapy and in combination with lazertinib, and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) (monotherapy), recommended Phase 2 combination dose (RP2CD) (combination therapy), and to determine recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2q3W) with combination chemotherapy (Amivantamab in combination with standard of care carboplatin and pemetrexed) in 21 day treatment cycle for participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Description:

This open label (all participants know the identity of the study drug), multicenter (more than one study site), first-in-human study consists of 2 parts. Part 1 is a Amivantamab Monotherapy and Combination Dose Escalations and Part 2 Amivantamab Monotherapy and Combination Dose Expansions. In Part 1, participants with evaluable NSCLC will be enrolled into cohorts at increasing dose levels of Amivantamab monotherapy, the RP2CD of the Amivantamab and lazertinib combination which will be administered in 28 day treatment cycles, and RP2q3W of Amivantamab in combination with standard of care carboplatin and pemetrexed (chemotherapy combination) which will be administered in 21 day treatment cycles. The dose will be escalated until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD, or maximum administered dose [MAD], if no MTD is found) is reached. Part 1 will follow a traditional 3+3 design. At each dose level, 3 participants will complete Cycle 1. If no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) occurs in these 3 participants, then escalation will continue in a new cohort of 3 participants. Data from Part 1 will be used to determine one or more RP2D regimen(s). In Part 2, participants with documented epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and measurable disease, whose disease has progressed after previous treatment will be enrolled and receive Amivantamab at the RP2D determined in Part 1 as a monotherapy at the RP2D regimen(s), or in combination with lazertinib at the RP2CD regimen. For both parts, the study consists of following periods: an optional pre-Screening period; a Screening period (up to 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug); a Treatment period (first dose of study drug until 30(+7) days after the last dose of study drug or prior to starting any subsequent anti-cancer treatment, whichever comes first); and a Follow Up period (approximately 6 months). All participants will be followed for survival in the post-treatment follow-up period until the end of study and safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participant must have histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is metastatic or unresectable. Participants must have either progressed after prior standard of care therapy (Cohorts C and hepatocyte growth factor receptor gene [MET]-1: epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR] tyrosine kinase inhibitor [TKI]; Cohort D: platinum-based chemotherapy; MET-2: per regional standard of care; Cohorts wild-type adenocarcinoma (WT-Ad) and wild-type squamous cell carcinoma (WT-Sq): platinum-containing chemotherapy and programmed death- 1/ ligand-1 (PD-1/L1) therapy, either as a combined regimen or as separate lines of therapy) for metastatic disease, or be ineligible for, or have refused all other currently available therapeutic options. In cases where participants refuse currently available therapeutic options, this must be documented in the study records. For Part 1 Chemotherapy Combination Cohort only: Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC that is metastatic or unresectable and be eligible for treatment with combination carboplatin and pemetrexed, in accordance with standard of care, and be willing to receive additional investigational therapy with Amivantamab
• For Part 1 Combination Dose Escalation with lazertinib only: Participants must have been diagnosed with EGFR Exon 19del or L858R activating mutation and (a) be treatment naïve for metastatic disease, without access to third generation TKI in the front-line setting, or (b) have progressed after front-line treatment with first (erlotinib or gefitinib) or second generation (afatinib) TKI and are ineligible for Cohort MET-1, or (c) have been treated with a third generation TKI (e.g., osimertinib) in either the front line or second-line setting, and are not eligible for enrollment in either Cohort C or MET-1. For Part 1 Chemotherapy Combination Cohort: Participants may be diagnosed with EGFR mutated or EGFR wild type NSCLC. For Part 2 Cohorts C, D, MET-1, and MET-2 only: Participants must also have disease with a previously diagnosed activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (includes both inhibitor sensitive primary mutations such as Exon 19 deletion and L858R (Cohort C, E, and MET-1), as well as marketed TKI-resistant mutations such as Exon 20 insertion (Cohort C, D and MET-1) or activating cMet Exon 14 skipping mutation (Cohort MET-2). Documentation of primary activating EGFR or cMet mutation eligibility by CLIA-certified laboratory (or equivalent) testing is required. For Part 2 Cohorts WT-Ad and WT-Sq: Participants must have wild-type EGFR, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and absence of MET Exon 14 skipping mutation as tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved test or a CLIA-certified laboratory (or equivalent). The pathology report or equivalent must be in the medical record for verification. Where testing for EGFR and ALK are not part of standard of care for participants with squamous cell carcinoma histology, documentation of the absence of these mutations is not necessary for enrollment into the WT-Sq cohort
• For Part 1: Participant must have evaluable disease. For Part 2: Participant must have measurable disease according to Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
• For Part 2: Cohorts A and B: Participants EGFR mutated disease must have most recently progressed following treatment with a marketed EGFR inhibitor.

Cohort C: Participants with primary EGFR mutated disease, with a documented EGFR alteration (example, C797S) mediating resistance to previous treatment with a third generation EGFR TKI (for example, osimertinib), in participants with primary Exon 20ins disease, the documented EGFR alteration may arise following treatment with a TKI with known activity against Exon 20ins disease (for example, poziotinib). Cohort D: participants must have been previously diagnosed with an EGFR Exon 20 insertion and have not been previously treated with a TKI with known activity against Exon 20ins disease (example, poziotinib). Cohort MET-1: Participants with documented primary EGFR mutated disease and documented MET amplification or MET mutation after progression on any EGFR TKI. Participants with disease characterized by both MET amplification and EGFR resistance mutations to prior third generation EGFR TKI will be preferentially enrolled into Cohort C.

Cohort MET-2: Participants with documented primary MET Exon 14 skipping mutation non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Cohort E (combination Amivantamab and lazertinib): Participants must have been diagnosed with EGFR Exon 19del or L858R activating mutation and have progressed after first or second-line treatment with a third generation TKI (e.g., osimertinib). Cohort WT-Ad: Participant must have been diagnosed with NSCLC of adenocarcinoma histology, with positive EGFR and/or MET expression as detected on a validated immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay performed by the central laboratory and have progressed on prior platinum containing chemotherapy and PD-1/L1 therapy, either as a combined regimen or as a separate line of therapy. Eligibility may be determined through IHC analysis of either archival (pre-screening) or mandatory fresh tumor tissue collected during the Screening period.
