Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor

Osimertinib + Chemotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (FLAURA2 Trial)

Phase 3
Waitlist Available
Led By Pasi A. Jänne, MD
Research Sponsored by AstraZeneca
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
The tumor harbors 1 of the 2 common epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations known to be associated with Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) sensitivity (Ex19del or L858R), either alone or in combination with other epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, which may include T790M
Patients must have untreated advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy
Must not have
Prior treatment with an Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI)
Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, inability to swallow the formulated product, or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption of osimertinib
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up up to 45 months (maximum follow up 44.6 months)
Awards & highlights

Summary

This trial is testing whether adding chemotherapy to osimertinib will help people with non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific DNA mutation and has gotten worse despite osimertinib.

Who is the study for?
Adults with untreated advanced non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that can't be removed by surgery or cured with radiotherapy. They must have a specific EGFR mutation, good performance status, and life expectancy over 12 weeks. Those from Japan must be at least 20 years old. Participants should agree to use contraception and not have had prior treatments for advanced NSCLC.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if osimertinib combined with chemotherapy (Pemetrexed/Carboplatin or Pemetrexed/Cisplatin) is more effective than osimertinib alone in treating locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Patients are randomly assigned to either treatment group, with visits expected every few months for assessments.
What are the potential side effects?
Osimertinib may cause diarrhea, rash, dry skin, nail toxicity, and mouth sores. Chemotherapy can lead to fatigue, nausea/vomiting, hair loss, anemia and increased risk of infection due to low blood cell counts.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Osimertinib 80 mg QD and platinum-based chemotherapyExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Osimertinib 80 mg in combination with pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) plus cisplatin (75 mg/m2) or carboplatin (AUC5) on Day 1 of 21day cycles (every 3 weeks) for 4 cycles, followed by Osimertinib daily with pemetrexed maintenance (500 mg/m2) every 3 weeks. Dose may be reduced to allow for the management of IP related toxicity.
Group II: Osimertinib 80mg QDActive Control1 Intervention
Osimertinib (AZD9291) 80mg QD. All patients randomized into this will only receive Osimertinib 80mg. Dose may be reduced to allow for the management of IP related toxicity.
