PAPILLON Trial Summary

This trial will compare how effective amivantamab is at treating NSCLC with EGFR Exon 20ins mutations, compared to chemotherapy alone. The metric for success is progression-free survival (PFS).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific mutation called EGFR Exon 20 insertion. They must have measurable disease, be in good physical condition (ECOG status 0 or 1), and agree to genetic tests of their tumor. Women who can have children must test negative for pregnancy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of Amivantamab combined with Carboplatin-Pemetrexed chemotherapy versus just the chemotherapy alone. The main goal is to see which treatment stops the cancer from progressing longer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the infusion site, fatigue, nausea, low blood counts increasing infection risk, potential lung problems like pneumonitis or ILD, and allergic reactions to components of the therapy.

PAPILLON Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm B: Chemotherapy AloneExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive pemetrexed 500 mg/m^2 IV infusion (with vitamin supplementation) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, in combination with carboplatin for up to 4 cycles, and then as maintenance monotherapy until disease progression. Carboplatin AUC 5 IV infusion will be administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 4 cycles. Following the primary analysis for efficacy, the study will transition to an OLE phase and participants will either continue to receive the chemotherapy or cross over to amivantamab in OLE phase. Participants who completed OLE period will enter LTE period and continue to receive same treatment.
Group II: Arm A: Amivantamab + ChemotherapyExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will receive pemetrexed 500 milligram per meter square (mg/m^2) intravenous (IV) infusion (with vitamin supplementation) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, in combination with carboplatin for up to 4 cycles, and then as maintenance monotherapy until disease progression. Carboplatin area under the concentration-time curve 5 milligram per milliliter (mg/mL) per minute (AUC 5) will be administered as IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle, for up to 4 cycles. Participants will receive amivantamab 1400 mg (1750 mg if body weight is >=80 kilogram [kg]) by IV infusion once weekly up to Cycle 2 Day 1, then 1750 mg (2100 mg if body weight is >=80 kg) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, starting with Cycle 3. Following the primary analysis for efficacy, the study will transition to an OLE phase and participants will continue to receive the amivantamab plus chemotherapy in OLE phase. Participants who completed OLE period will enter LTE period and continue to receive same treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any slots open for this research project?

"That is correct. The listing on clinicaltrials.gov currently includes this trial, which was first posted on October 13th 2020 and last updated November 9th 2020. They are seeking 300 participants total, across 18 different sites."

Answered by AI

How many total patients are being included in this experiment?

"To move forward, this clinical trial needs 300 patients that meet the pre-specified inclusion criteria. Luckily, patients can enroll at Texas Oncology Pa in Tyler, Texas or Pacific Shores Medical Group in Long Beach, California."

Answered by AI

Has Amivantamab been used in other research trials before?

"Amivantamab was first researched in 2002 at Edinburgh Royal Hospital for Sick Children. In the last two decades, there have been 1037 completed clinical trials. As of now, 800 are recruiting patients with a significant portion being based in Tyler, Texas."

Answered by AI

Are there any other continents where this research study is taking place?

"Currently, this trial is enrolling patients in Tyler, Texas at Texas Oncology Pa, Long Beach, California at Pacific Shores Medical Group, Orange, Georgia at University of California, Irvine, and 18 other locations."

Answered by AI

What are some potential side effects of Amivantamab?

"Amivantamab's safety has been well-documented in Phase 3 clinical trials, and it has been shown to be effective in multiple rounds of testing. Therefore, we believe it to be a safe medication."

Answered by AI

What are the off-label benefits of Amivantamab?

"Amivantamab is often the first intervention doctors recommend to patients. It is also an effective treatment for advanced thymoma, advanced testicular cancer, and carcinoma, neuroendocrine."

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I did not try any medication. I am allergic to many meds. I have allergic asthma. I can be only a control group. I use Spiriva to improve my breathing and some herbal supplement to support imine and the respiratory system. I have also follicular Lymphoma, which I get after covid Vacination.
