Lazertinib + Amivantamab for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
(Chrysalis-2 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores the safety and effectiveness of combining Lazertinib and Amivantamab (Rybrevant) for individuals with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific mutation. Researchers aim to determine if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes for patients who have previously tried other therapies. It is suitable for those with NSCLC with EGFR mutations who have experienced progression after treatments like osimertinib or chemotherapy. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new combination therapy.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you should discuss your current medications with the study team to ensure they don't interfere with the trial treatments.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that combining Lazertinib and Amivantamab is generally safe. Patients who received this combination usually tolerated it well, with manageable side effects. One study found that this combination was more effective than Lazertinib alone for certain lung cancers, and adding Amivantamab did not significantly increase serious side effects.
The FDA has already approved Amivantamab for some lung cancers, supporting its safety. Common side effects include skin reactions and infusion-related reactions, which are usually mild and manageable.
Earlier studies have also shown Lazertinib alone to be safe. The most common side effects were mild, such as rash and changes in liver enzyme levels, and could be managed with supportive care.
Overall, both treatments appear well-tolerated according to available data. Participating in clinical trials can further clarify their safety when used together.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about these treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) because they offer a fresh approach compared to standard therapies like chemotherapy and first- or second-generation EGFR inhibitors. Amivantamab and Lazertinib, used individually or in combination, target specific mutations in the EGFR gene, which are often responsible for cancer growth. This targeted mechanism of action is different from traditional treatments, which don't specifically target these mutations. Moreover, the combination therapy aims to address resistance issues seen with current treatments, potentially offering more effective and longer-lasting results for patients with specific genetic profiles.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for non-small cell lung cancer?
Research has shown that using Lazertinib and Amivantamab together, as studied in several arms of this trial, may help treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific genetic changes known as EGFR mutations. Studies have found that this combination can extend patient survival compared to the current standard treatment, osimertinib. It also helps prevent the cancer from developing resistance, a common issue with other therapies. Additionally, Amivantamab alone, studied in a separate arm of this trial, has proven effective for certain EGFR mutations, suggesting it could be beneficial on its own. Overall, this combination treatment offers hope for patients with specific genetic types of NSCLC.25678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR mutations. Participants may have had previous treatments like chemotherapy or EGFR inhibitors, but must not have uncontrolled illnesses, active infections, severe gastrointestinal issues, or untreated brain metastases. They should be able to swallow pills and comply with study requirements.Inclusion Criteria
