NCT03623750

Brief Summary

This is a multicentre, open-label, uncontrolled, Phase Ib clinical study. Patients who give informed consent will be screened for the study, including genotyping of the tumour and baseline characteristics. Eligible patients will receive a single pre-treatment of low dose of intravenous cyclophosphamide 200 mg/m2 (Day -3). Patients will commence daily oral therapy with the EGFR TKI afatinib as soon as possible, preferably on the same day as low dose cyclophosphamide. Afatinib will be prescribed according to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) of the product, and will continue in nominal 21-day cycles for as long as clinically indicated. The first day of dosing with EGF-PTI will be designated Day 1. Immunisation with EGF-PTI will commence 3 days after low dose cyclophosphamide and commencement of EGFR TKI, and will be repeated on Day 14, Day 28, Day 43, and Day 92. After the 5 th vaccination, patients will be followed up every 6 weeks for basic safety data and every 3 months for complete efficacy data, safety data, and maintenance (reduced) doses of EGF-PTI. Patients will continue in the study until disease progression, death, safety concerns (in the opinion of the investigator), non-compliance with the protocol, the patient withdraws from the study, 1 year after randomisation of the last patient, or the study is stopped the sponsor, whichever occurs sooner

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Frequency and severity of Adverse Events

    Evaluate the safety and tolerability of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor plus EGF-PTI in newly diagnosed patients with advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with EGFR mutations who are not candidates for local curative treatment throughout the patient's participation in the study.

    36 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical response efficacy assessments

    36 months

Study Arms (1)

EGFR-TK Inhibitor plus EGF-PTI

EXPERIMENTAL

Elegile patients will receive a single pre-treatment low dose of intravenous cyclophosphamide 200mg/m2 before experimental treatment starts. Daily oral therapy with afatinib according to the SmPC of the product in nominal treatment cycles of 21 days followed by immunisation with EGF-PTI.

Drug: EGFR-TK InhibitorBiological: EGF-PTIDrug: Cyclophosphamide

Interventions

Patients will commence daily oral therapy with the EGFR TKI afatinib as soon as possible, preferably on the same day as low dose cyclophosphamide. Afatinib will be prescribed according to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) of the product, and will continue in nominal 21-day cycles for as long as clinically indicated.

EGFR-TK Inhibitor plus EGF-PTI
EGF-PTIBIOLOGICAL

The first day of dosing with EGF-PTI will be designated Day 1. Immunisation with EGF-PTI will commence 3 days after low dose cyclophosphamide and commencement of EGFR TKI, and will be repeated on Day 14, Day 28, Day 43, and Day 92. After the 5 th vaccination, patients will enter a maintenance phase during which reduced dose vaccinations will be performed every 2 or 3 months in conjunction with the interval between detailed check-up of the patient. As this interval can vary between patients, the interval for maintenance vaccination can also vary between 2 and 3 months.

EGFR-TK Inhibitor plus EGF-PTI

Eligible patients will receive a single pre-treatment of low dose of intravenous cyclophosphamide 200 mg/m2 (Day -3).

EGFR-TK Inhibitor plus EGF-PTI

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18 years or older.
  • Histological confirmation of locally advanced or metastatic, non-squamous NSCLC with an activating EGFR mutation who are not candidates for local curative treatment.
  • Stage IV, according to TNM Version 8, including M1a (malignant effusion) or M1b (distant metastasis), or locally advanced disease for which there is no curative treatment (including patients who progress after chemoradiotherapy in Stage III disease).
  • Centrally confirmed EGFR exon 19 deletion, exon 21 (L858R, L861Q) or exon 18 (G719X) mutation before treatment (concomitant T790M pre-treatment mutation is permitted).
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1.
