Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of alisertib when given with osimertinib for patients with EGFR-mutated stage IV lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with stage IV lung cancer characterized by specific EGFR mutations, who are currently taking and tolerating osimertinib. They must have good performance status, measurable disease, acceptable lab values, agree to provide samples for research, use contraception if applicable, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Excluded are those with certain brain metastases, extensive prior radiation therapy, severe medical conditions or those on conflicting medications.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This trial is testing the combination of two drugs: Alisertib (which blocks a protein that may help lung cancer grow) and Osimertinib (which targets mutant proteins to reduce tumor growth). The study aims to determine the safest dose of Alisertib when used with Osimertinib and observe their effects on advanced-stage lung cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues related to blocking Aurora Kinase A by Alisertib which could affect cell division leading to blood disorders or fatigue; while Osimertinib might cause skin reactions or diarrhea due to its action on EGFR. Both drugs' interactions can also result in unforeseen side effects.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Dose Expansion: Cohort BExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Stage IV EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients who are currently receiving first line osimertinib treatment and have received at least 3 months, but no more than 6 months, of osimertinib with a best response of PR or SD. Patients may receive alisertib therapy until lack of clinical benefit or intolerable toxicity.
Group II: Dose Expansion: Cohort AExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Stage IV EGFR-mutant NSCLC currently receiving and progressing on osimertinib who have received no more than one additional line of systemic cancer therapy other than osimertinib (e.g., chemotherapy +/- immunotherapy, amivantamab +/- Lazertinib) for metastatic disease. Patients may receive alisertib therapy until lack of clinical benefit or intolerable toxicity.
Group III: Dose Escalation (Closed to Enrollment)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients will continue to receive osimertinib 80 mg PO daily as part of standard of care therapy during screening and study treatments. Alisertib will be administered to eligible patients in combination with osimertinib at doses ranging from 20 mg to 50 mg PO twice daily on days 1-3, 8-10, and 15-17 of a 28-day cycle. The starting alisertib dose will be 30 mg twice daily (dose level 1). All patients at a given dose level must complete the DLT period before any additional cohorts can be opened.
