Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of the study is to separately assess the potential of dexamethasone, montelukast and methotrexate administration, prior to amivantamab infusion given through a needle in the vein, to decrease the incidence and/or severity of first-dose infusion related reactions.

Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?

The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Amivantamab + Lazertinib in treating non-small cell lung cancer?

Research shows that Amivantamab combined with Lazertinib is effective in treating non-small cell lung cancer, especially in patients who have relapsed after using osimertinib. In studies, this combination showed significant tumor reduction and improved progression-free survival in patients with specific genetic mutations. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Is Amivantamab safe for humans?

Amivantamab, also known as Rybrevant, has been approved by the FDA for treating certain types of non-small cell lung cancer, indicating it has undergone safety evaluations. Studies have reviewed its safety and clinical applicability, suggesting it is generally safe for use in humans with this condition. ^{2 3 4 6 7}

How is the drug Amivantamab + Lazertinib unique for treating non-small cell lung cancer?

Amivantamab combined with Lazertinib is unique because it targets specific mutations in non-small cell lung cancer that have become resistant to other treatments, like osimertinib. Amivantamab is a bispecific antibody that targets both EGFR and MET mutations, while Lazertinib is a third-generation EGFR inhibitor, making this combination effective for patients who have relapsed after standard treatments. ^{1 2 3 4 8}

Treatment Details

Interventions

• Amivantamab

Trial Overview The study tests if premedication with dexamethasone, montelukast, or methotrexate can reduce reactions to the first dose of amivantamab infusion. Amivantamab is given through an IV alongside oral lazertinib to see how well they work together against NSCLC after other treatments have failed.

Participant Groups

Group I: Background Anti-cancer Therapy with Amivantamab Plus Lazertinib Experimental Treatment 5 Interventions

Participant will receive following treatments in 4 different cohorts prior to administration of combination therapy of IV Amivantamab and oral Lazertinib (anti-cancer regimen): dexamethasone dose-1 in Cohort A; dexamethasone dose-2 in Cohort A2; montelukast in Cohort B; and methotrexate in Cohort C.

Amivantamab is already approved in United States, European Union for the following indications:

Approved in United States as Rybrevant for:

• Locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations
• Locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations

Approved in European Union as Rybrevant for:

• Locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations
• Locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations

Findings from Research

The ongoing CHRYSALIS study shows that the combination of amivantamab, an EGFR-MET bispecific antibody, and lazertinib, a third-generation EGFR TKI, is effective in treating both treatment-naive patients and those who have relapsed after osimertinib.

The MARIPOSA study is a phase 3 trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of the amivantamab and lazertinib combination therapy against single-agent osimertinib, aiming to improve first-line treatment outcomes for patients with EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer.

MARIPOSA: phase 3 study of first-line amivantamab + lazertinib versus osimertinib in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer. Cho, BC., Felip, E., Hayashi, H., et al.[2022]

In a phase III trial involving 657 patients with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer, both amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared to standard chemotherapy, with median PFS of 6.3 and 8.3 months versus 4.2 months, respectively.

The combination therapies also showed a higher objective response rate (64% and 63% for amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy, respectively) compared to chemotherapy (36%), although the amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy regimen had more hematologic adverse events.

Amivantamab, approved for treating non-small cell lung cancer with specific genetic mutations, works by targeting two pathways: the epithelial growth factor receptor and mesenchymal epithelial transition factor, enhancing the immune response against cancer cells.

Preclinical studies indicate that Amivantamab effectively inhibits cancer cell growth in models with exon20 insertions of the epithelial growth factor receptor, suggesting its potential as a targeted therapy for this specific patient population.

Amivantamab, a bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and MET, received accelerated FDA approval for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with specific EGFR mutations, showing a 40% objective response rate in a Phase I/IB trial with a median response duration of 11.1 months.

In patients with other EGFR mutations, amivantamab alone had a 19% response rate, while combining it with lazertinib improved the response to 36%, indicating potential benefits of combination therapy in NSCLC treatment.

Amivantamab: First Approval. Syed, YY.[2021]

The combination of amivantamab and lazertinib showed a 36% overall response rate in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer who had progressed on previous treatments, indicating potential efficacy in a challenging treatment setting.

The safety profile of the combination therapy was consistent with previous studies, with only 4% of patients experiencing severe side effects, suggesting that this treatment may be safe for patients who are chemotherapy naive.
