A Phase II, Open Label, Multiple Arm Study of AUY922, BYL719, INC280, LDK378 and MEK162 in Chinese Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

A Phase II, Open Label, Multiple Arm Study of Single Agent AUY922, BYL719, INC280, LDK378 and MEK162 in Chinese Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of single agent BYL719, INC280, LDK378 and MEK162 in advanced NSCLC patients carrying specific molecular alterations.

There is a great unmet medical need in NSCLC patients with advanced or metastatic disease. Novel approaches using targeted therapeutic agents for these patient populations with molecular characterization could potentially identify subsets of advanced NSCLC patients who would benefit from targeted kinase inhibition. Study treatments, BYL719, INC280, LDK378 and MEK162, which target PIK3CA, c-MET, ALK/ROS1 and MEK respectively, have shown promising data in either preclinical or clinical lung cancer settings.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Adenocarcinoma Lung Cancer; Squamous Cell Lung Carcinoma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: BYL719; Drug: INC280; Drug: LDK378; Drug: MEK162

Detailed Description

To enter the screening phase of the study, the subjects' molecular alterations were determined using locally validated methodologies from a newly obtained tumor sample (preferred) or the most recent archival tumor sample available. Based on the molecular alterations of the tumor, subjects were assigned to one of the treatment arms. Subjects with multiple molecular alterations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the relevant pathways were excluded, except under the conditions described in Inclusion criteria.

The treatment period began on Cycle 1 Day 1 and continued in 28-day cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, death or the subject transferred to another Novartis study that could continue to provide the study drug.

All subjects were required to be followed up for 30 days for safety after receiving the last dose of study treatment. Subjects who discontinued study treatment for any reason other than disease progression were followed up for progression of disease. All subjects were required to be followed for survival. For subjects transferred to another Novartis study, an end of treatment visit (EOT) was required to be performed and the subject would not enter the follow-up period.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: BYL719 350 mg QD; Patient's tumor must have molecular alteration of the PIK3CA gene.	Drug: BYL719; BYL719 was dosed as 350 mg once daily.

The investigator must emphasized compliance and instructed the patient to take BYL719 exactly as prescribed.
Experimental: INC280 400 mg BID tab/600 mg BID cap; Patient's tumor must have molecular alteration of the c-MET gene.	Drug: INC280; INC280 was dosed as 600 mg (tablet) or 400mg(Capsule) twice daily. On the first day of each cycle, patient received a prescription of adequate drug supply for self-administration at home. The investigator must emphasized compliance and instructed the patient to takeINC280 exactly as prescribed.
Experimental: LDK378 750 mg QD; Patient's tumor must have ALK or ROS1 gene rearrangement.	Drug: LDK378; LDK378 was dosed as 750 mg once daily. On the first day of each cycle, patient received a prescription of adequate drug supply for self-administration at home. The investigator must emphasized compliance and instructed the patient to take LDK378 exactly as prescribed.
Experimental: MEK162 45 mg BID; Patient's tumor must have KRAS, NRAS or BRAF mutation.	Drug: MEK162; MEK162 was dosed as 45 mg twice daily. On the first day of each cycle, patient received a prescription of adequate drug supply for self-administration at home. The investigator must emphasized compliance and instructed the patient to take MEK162 exactly as prescribed.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall Response Rate (ORR)	Overall response rate is the proportion of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria (Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR). Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.	Up to 231 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Median Overall Survival (OS)	OS is defined as the time from date of randomization/start of treatment to date of death due to any cause.	Up to 231 weeks
Number of Participants With Progression-free Survival (PFS)	PFS event is defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause according to RECIST 1.1 criteria	Up to 231 weeks
Disease Control Rate (DCR)	DCR is the percentage of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria (DCR: CR+PR+SD) Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD	Up to 231 weeks
