Study Summary

This trial is studying osimertinib with or without bevacizumab for patients with EGFR positive non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation and spread to the brain. They should have a life expectancy over 3 months, be willing to use contraception, and not be breastfeeding or pregnant. No prior EGFR TKI treatment or immunotherapy is allowed, and they mustn't have symptomatic brain metastases or other active cancers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if osimertinib alone or combined with bevacizumab is more effective for patients whose lung cancer has spread to the brain. Osimertinib blocks enzymes needed by tumor cells; bevacizumab may prevent tumor growth by inhibiting blood vessel formation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Osimertinib can cause diarrhea, rash, dry skin, nail changes, mouth sores, reduced appetite and fatigue. Bevacizumab might lead to high blood pressure, bleeding problems, slow wound healing and could increase the risk of developing holes in your stomach/intestines.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm II (osimertinib)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients receive osimertinib PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT scan, MRI, tumor biopsy and blood sample collection throughout the study.
Group II: Arm I (osimertinib, bevacizumab)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive osimertinib PO QD on days 1-21 and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT scan, MRI, tumor biopsy and blood sample collection throughout the study.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Are there any analogous experiments involving Osimertinib?

"Currently, there are 450 trials exploring the effects of Osimertinib with 104 of them being in Phase 3. Many are concentrated around Taibei, Taiwan; however, it is being studied at over 21000 different locations world wide."

Answered by AI

What is the current enrollment capacity for this experiment?

"At this point, the trial is not actively recruiting. It was first created on June 23rd 2017 and modified as recently as July 2nd 2022. For those seeking alternatives, there are 3946 clinical trials for carcinoma non-small cell lung cancer as well as 450 studies searching for Osimertinib participants currently accepting enrolment."

Answered by AI

How does Osimertinib fare in terms of patient safety?

"The current level of safety data on osimertinib is assessed at 2, as the trial has reached Phase 2 but efficacy hasn't been fully established."

Answered by AI

Are there still sign-up opportunities for this research project?

"As evidenced by clinicaltrials.gov, the recruitment process for this medical study has ended; initial posting was June 23rd 2017 and it was last updated on July 2nd 2022. Despite the conclusion of this trial's participant search, there are currently 4396 other trials that remain eager to find subjects for their research."

Answered by AI

What diseases is Osimertinib typically employed to address?

"Primarily used to treat and manage malignant neoplasms, osimertinib has been successfully deployed in cases of recurrent platinum sensitive primary peritoneal cancer, stage IV epithelial ovarian cancer post-surgical resection, and locally advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancers."

Answered by AI

How widespread is the implementation of this experiment?

"This study is seeking participants at Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center in Columbus, Ohio, Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut and Nebraska Medicine-Bellevue in Bellevue. Additionally there are 18 other potential sites that can be found on the trial's website."
