Brief Summary

Eligible subjects will be allocated to one of four cohorts based on tumour type and presence of specific biomarker. Subjects will receive open-label Dacomitinib as tablets for oral administration on a continuous daily basis at a dose of 30 mg for one cycle. After one cycle, a toxicity assessment will be conducted. Subjects with \>=G2 toxicity attributable to dacomitinib, will continue dacomitinib at 30 mg orally once daily. In subjects with \<=G1 toxicity, investigator and subjects will make a shared decision for dose escalation of dacomitinib to 45 mg orally once daily or continuation of dacomitinib at 30 mg orally once daily. Subjects will then continue on therapy until disease progression, new systemic anticancer therapy instituted, intolerable toxicities, withdrawal of consent, death, or investigator decision dictated by protocol compliance, whichever occurs first.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Objective Response Rate

  The proportion of subjects with a BOR of either CR or PR, where BOR is the best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression.

  From time of first study drug administration until first occurrence of disease progression, up to 36 months.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Progression Free Survival

  The time from start of treatment to the date of disease progression as defined by RECIST v1.1 per investigator review or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, up to 36 months.

• Duration of Response

  The time from the initial response to therapy to the date of subsequent disease progression as defined by RECIST v1.1 per investigator review or date of death (if cause of death is due to PD), whichever earlier, up to 36 months.

• Overall Survival

  The time from start of treatment to the date of death for any cause, up to 36 months.

Study Arms (1)

Dacomitinib

EXPERIMENTAL

Oral Dacomitinib tablets, once daily.

Drug: Oral Dacomitinib

Interventions

Oral Dacomitinib DRUG

All subjects will receive the open-label Dacomitinib as tablets for oral self-administration on a continuous daily basis at a dose of 30 mg for one cycle. For subjects eligible for dose titration after Cycle 1, and after shared patient and investigator decision, these subjects will receive Dacomitinib 45 mg orally on a continuous daily basis.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 21 Years - 99 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Provision of a voluntarily given, personally signed and dated, written informed consent document. If consent cannot be expressed in writing, it must be formally documented and witnessed, ideally via an independent trusted witness;
• Age ≥ 21 years, male or female;
• Documentation of the presence of low EGFR-AS1 lncRNA expression as determined using the specifically designed companion diagnostic biomarker suite provided by the Sponsor (cohorts 1 to 3) or the presence of a novel emerging biomarker of EGFR family pathway addiction as determined by the Sponsor (cohort 4);
• Study cohorts:
• Cohort 1: advanced or metastatic EGFR wildtype squamous NSCLC, after progression on or after, or intolerance to, one or more lines of standard of care (SOC) therapy, per local SOC guidelines. In subjects without an activating oncogenic driver mutation, after progression on or after, or intolerance to, platinum-containing combination chemotherapy. In subjects harbouring an activating oncogenic driver mutation, after progression on one or more SOC mutation-targeting TKI, per local SOC guidelines, or for whom no SOC mutation-targeting TKI is available. TKI therapy need not be the most recent prior therapy. Subjects harbouring an activating EGFR mutation are not eligible;
• Cohort 2: advanced or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, after progression on or after, or intolerance to, platinum-containing combination chemotherapy. This need not be the most recent or prior regimen;
• Cohort 3: all advanced or metastatic solid tumours (excluding squamous NSCLC and HNSCC), after progression on or intolerance to at least one line of SOC therapy per local guidelines;
• Cohort 4: all advanced or metastatic solid tumours, after progression on or intolerance to at least one line of SOC therapy per local guidelines;
• Have an ECOG PS of ≤2;
• Life expectancy of at least 3 months;
• Site of disease amenable to biopsy and be a candidate for tumour biopsy according to the treating institution's own guidelines and requirements for such procedure. Subjects must be willing to undergo a tumour biopsy at screening, and on treatment on this study;
• Radiologically measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 criteria:
• At least one target lesion that has not previously been radiated and is measurable according to RECIST v1.1;
• Acceptable radiologic procedures for disease assessment include contrast enhanced conventional or spiral computed tomography (CT), or contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);Non contrast CT scan is acceptable only for subjects who are both allergic to intravenous contrast and unable to cooperate with MRI, or MRI is not available. The following are not allowed as sole documentation of target lesions: CT component of a positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, ultrasound alone, nuclear scans (including bone or PET scans), chest X-ray or bone radiographs, and tumour markers;
• Adequate organ function, including:

You may not qualify if:

• Subjects with symptomatic brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases who are neurologically unstable or require increasing doses of steroids to manage central nervous system (CNS) symptoms within two weeks prior to starting dacomitinib;
• Any surgery (not including minor procedures such as lymph node biopsy), palliative radiotherapy or pleurodesis within 2 weeks of baseline assessments;
• Any clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities that may impair intake, transit or absorption of the study drug, such as the inability to take oral medication;
• Current enrollment in another therapeutic clinical study;
• Any psychiatric or cognitive disorder that would limit the understanding or rendering of informed consent and/or compromise compliance with the requirements of this study or known drug abuse/alcohol abuse;
• History of, or currently suspected, diffuse non-infectious pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease including:
• Past medical history of interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial disease, radiation pneumonitis which required steroid treatment or any evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease;
• Pre-existing idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis evidenced by CT scan at baseline;
• Insufficient lung function as determined by either clinical examination or an arterial oxygen tension of \<70 Torr.
• Any history of galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption;
• Clinically important abnormalities in cardiac rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG (e.g. complete left bundle branch block, second degree heart block, third degree heart block) OR:
• Diagnosed or suspected congenital long QT syndrome;
• Any history of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias (such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or Torsades de pointes);
• Prolonged QTc interval on electrocardiogram (ECG); QTc must be less than CTCAEv5.0 Grade 2 (≤480 msec) using Fridericia's or Bazett's correction formula with a manual reading by the investigator if required. The ECG may be repeated for evaluation of eligibility after management of correctable causes for observed QTc prolongation;
• Any history of second- or third-degree heart block;

Model Details: Eligible subjects will be allocated to one of four cohorts based on tumour type and presence of specific biomarker. All subjects in cohorts 1 to 3 will have tumours that demonstrate low EGFR-AS1 lncRNA expression as determined through a companion diagnostic biomarker suite (consisting of three components - EGFR Q787Q AA genotype, low AS1 lncRNA levels and increased EGFR isoform D/A ratio). * Cohort 1 will consist of squamous NSCLC patients with the presence of at least 1 out of 3 in the biomarker suite. * Cohort 2 will consist of HNSCC patients with the presence of at least 1 out of 3 in the biomarker suite. * Cohort 3 will consist of any other solid tumour with the presence of at least 1 out of 3 in the biomarker suite. * Cohort 4 will have tumours that demonstrate the presence of a novel emerging biomarker including but not limited to NRG1 fusions and specific MET SNPs.
