A Study of ASP2215 in Combination With Erlotinib in Subjects With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Activating Mutation-Positive (EGFRm+) Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Who Have Acquired Resistance to an EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)

A Phase 1b/2 Study of ASP2215 in Combination With Erlotinib in Subjects With EGFR Activating Mutation-Positive (EGFRm+) Advanced NSCLC Who Have Acquired Resistance to an EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)

The purpose of the Phase 1b part of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASP2215 in combination with erlotinib and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ASP2215. The purpose of the Phase 2 part of the study was to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of the RP2D of ASP2215 in combination with erlotinib.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)		Cycle 1 and Cycle ≥2 (up to 141 days)
Number of Participants With Adverse Events	Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) was defined as an adverse event (AE) that started after administration of the study drugs and occurred within 30 days of the last dose of the study drugs. If a participant experienced an event both during the preinvestigational period and during the investigational period, the event was considered a TEAE only if it worsened in severity.	From first dose of study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of study (maximum study drug exposure 114 days)

Concentration Immediately Prior to Dosing at Multiple Dosing (Ctrough) of Gilteritinib	All participants in Gilteritinib 120 mg + Erlotinib 150 mg group discontinued before cycle 3.	Predose on Day 1, 3, 8, 15, 22, 28 of cycle 1, Day 1 of cycle 3 and Day 1 of cycle 4
AUC24 of Erlotinib		0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 24 hours post-dose on Day 28 of cycle 1
Cmax of Erlotinib		0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 24 hours post-dose on Day 28 of cycle 1
Tmax of Erlotinib		0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 24 hours post-dose on Day 28 of cycle 1
Ctrough of Erlotinib		Day 8, 15, 22, 28 of cycle 1
Objective Response Rate (ORR) in Phase 1b	ORR was defined as Objective Response Rate (ORR) was the proportion of patients whose best overall response was complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST version 1.1.
