Brief Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of onalespib lactate when given together with erlotinib hydrochloride and to see how well they work in treating patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that has come back (recurrent) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Erlotinib hydrochloride and onalespib lactate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Conditions

Recurrent Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma; Stage IV Lung Non-Small Cell Cancer AJCC v7

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Number of Participants With at Least One Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

  Adverse events were graded by CTCAE, v4. DLTs defined as ≥Gr 3 non-hematologic toxicity except nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that could be controlled by appropriate medical intervention or prophylaxis and that resolved within 48 hours, except electrolyte toxicities that can be corrected within 48 hours. Gr 3 rash attributed to the combination was considered a DLT if it remained Gr 3 despite maximal medical management for \> 72 hours. Hematologic toxicities qualifying as DLTs included febrile neutropenia; Gr 4 neutropenia for \> 7 days or thrombocytopenia \< 25,000/mm3 (Gr 4) if associated with a bleeding event that did not result in hemodynamic instability but required an elective platelet transfusion; or a life-threatening bleeding event that resulted in urgent intervention and admission to an intensive care unit. Delay in starting cycle 2 of ≥14 days due to toxicity related to one or more protocol drugs was also considered a DLT. The first 28-day cycle was considered the DLT period.

  28 days from the start of treatment.

• Recommended Phase II Dose

  The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Onalespib IV in combination with 150 mg Erlotinib PO daily is based on toxicities observed during the first cycle and is defined as the highest dose tested in which fewer than 33% of patients experience an attributable DLT to the study drug, when at least 6 patients are treated at that dose and are evaluable for toxicity. Dose escalations proceeded according to a standard 3+3 design.

  28 days from start of treatment.

• Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities.

  During the first course of therapy patients will be monitored for dose-limiting toxicities (DLT). Dose escalation will follow a 3+3 design, motivated by the desire to limit the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity to the lowest feasible levels and determine the recommended phase II dose. This outcome measure has been addressed in primary outcome measures 1 \& 2.

  Up to 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Number of Subject With Overall Response

  Up to at least 1 year

• Progression-free Survival

  From start of treatment to time of progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to at least 1 year

• Number of Subject With Overall Response (Recommended Phase II Dose)

  Up to at least 1 year

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (erlotinib hydrochloride, onalespib lactate)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive erlotinib hydrochloride PO daily and onalespib lactate IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for at least 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• PHASE I: Patients must have metastatic/recurrent, histologically confirmed NSCLC that harbors an EGFR activating mutation (exon 21 L858R, exon 19 deletion, exon 18 G719X, exon 21 L861Q) with progressive disease by RECIST 1.1 on a previous EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI); OR patients must have metastatic/recurrent histologically confirmed NSCLC that harbors an EGFR exon 20 insertion with progressive disease on platinum containing chemotherapy
• PHASE II COHORT A: Patients must have metastatic/recurrent histologically confirmed NSCLC that harbors an EGFR activating mutation (exon 21 L858R, exon 19 deletion, exon 18 G719X, exon 21 L861Q) with stable disease by RECIST 1.1 as best response on erlotinib compared to pre-treatment erlotinib imaging by RECIST 1.1 or progressive disease compared to pre-treatment imaging by RECIST 1.1 after a minimum duration of treatment on erlotinib of 12-weeks; patients must be enrolled within 6 months of initiation of erlotinib
• PHASE II COHORT B: Patients must have metastatic/recurrent histologically confirmed NSCLC that harbors an EGFR exon 20 insertion with progressive disease on or after platinum doublet chemotherapy
• FOR PHASE I: If patient is on erlotinib at the time of signed consent, the patient does NOT need to be discontinued prior to initiation of erlotinib and onalespib; other EGFR-TKIs must be discontinued at least 7 days prior to initiation of erlotinib and onalespib
• FOR PHASE II COHORT A: If patient is on erlotinib at the time of signed consent, erlotinib does NOT need to be discontinued prior to receiving treatment erlotinib and onalespib; last dose of erlotinib must be less than 28 days from when patient signs consent
• FOR PHASE II COHORT B: (EGFR exon 20 insertions): Prior EGFR-TKIs including erlotinib is allowed; if patient is on erlotinib at the time of signed consent, erlotinib does NOT need to be discontinued prior to initiation of erlotinib and onalespib
• Local testing for EGFR-mutations for this study is acceptable provided it was performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) certified lab
• Patients with a prior history of brain metastases are eligible provided:
• The brain metastases have been treated
• The patient is asymptomatic from the brain metastases
• Corticosteroids prescribed for the management of brain metastases have been discontinued at least 7 days prior to registration
