COCOON Trial Summary

"This trial aims to see if better dermatologic care can help lower the occurrence of skin issues in lung cancer patients receiving specific treatment."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet and can't be removed by surgery. Participants should have a certain type of mutation in their cancer, be generally well enough to perform daily activities (ECOG 0-1), and could have had brain metastases if treated at least two weeks before the trial. They shouldn't need more than a low dose of steroids for brain symptoms.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether an enhanced skin care routine reduces skin-related side effects in patients taking Amivantamab and Lazertinib for lung cancer. The enhanced care includes antibiotics like Doxycycline or Minocycline, antiseptic washes, and moisturizers compared to standard skin care practices.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include rash and paronychia (nail infection) from the main drugs Amivantamab and Lazertinib. Antibiotics may cause stomach upset or allergic reactions, while skin products might lead to irritation or dryness.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm A: Enhanced Dermatologic ManagementExperimental Treatment7 Interventions
Participants will receive enhanced dermatologic management to reduce dermatologic toxicities in skin and nail with oral doxycycline tablet or minocycline capsule (100 milligrams [mg] twice daily for 12 weeks), clindamycin 1 percent (%) topical lotion, chlorhexidine 4% topical solution, and noncomedogenic skin moisturizer (once daily, sufficient quantity to cover skin) during background anticancer treatment of advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with amivantamab (1050 mg for body weight less than [<] 80 kilograms [kg] and 1400 mg for body weight greater than or equal to [>=] 80 kg as intravenous [IV] infusion, once weekly for the first 4 weeks and then once every 2 weeks) and lazertinib (240 mg, tablet, once daily) until documented disease progression using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version [v] 1.1).
Group II: Arm B: Standard-of-Care Dermatologic ManagementActive Control2 Interventions
Participants will receive standard care for dermatologic management according to local practice to reduce dermatologic toxicities in skin and nail during background anticancer treatment of advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC with amivantamab plus lazertinib.
