Summary
A Phase I/2 multi-center open-label study of BGB324 (bemcentinib) in combination with erlotinib in participants with Stage IIIb or Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Bemcentinib is a potent selective small molecule inhibitor of Axl, a surface membrane protein kinase receptor which is connected with poor prognosis and acquired resistance to therapy.Phase:

Criteria
General Criteria1. Provision of written informed consent to participate in this investigational study.
2. Histological or cytological confirmation of Stage IIIb or Stage IV (unresectable)
NSCLC.
3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.
4. Age 18 years or older at the time of consent.
5. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy
test within 7 days prior to taking their first dose of BGB324. Male participants and
female participants of reproductive potential must agree to practice highly effective
methods of contraception (such as hormonal implants, combined oral contraceptives,
injectable contraceptives, intrauterine device with hormone spirals, total sexual
abstinence, vasectomy) throughout the study and for >=3 months after the last dose of
BGB324. Female participants are considered NOT to be of childbearing potential if they
have a history of surgical sterility, including tubal ligation, or evidence of post
menopausal status defined as any of the following:
- Natural menopause with last menses >1 year ago.

existing licensed therapies for NSCLC.
Additional Inclusion Criteria for Arm A

1. Has received >=6 weeks historical treatment with erlotinib. Erlotinib treatment
must be re started >=1 week before the first dose of BGB324 (Cycle 1, Day 1).

Additional Inclusion Criteria for Arm B

L85R substitution or other rearrangement of the EGFR gene). EGFR mutation may be
confirmed historically (prior to study entry) and during the 28 day screening period
confirmation of negative T790M status (confirmed with blood test or biopsy from a
progressing tumor). Participants who have previously been treated with a T790M
inhibitor (i.e., osimertinib) and have progressed will not require T790M testing.

tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1.
14. Has progressed after receiving erlotinib or any other an approved EGFR inhibitor
(i.e., afatinib, or gefitinib) at any time during therapy for advanced disease.
15. Erlotinib related toxicities being well-controlled and
EGFR inhibitors to be
16. Participants must have completed afatinib and/or gefitinib treatment at least 1 week
before the first dose of BGB324.
17. Toxicity from other prior therapy has resolved to <=Grade 1 (previous treatment with
bevacizumab and other licensed antibody therapies is permitted).
18. Participants who have an activating EGFR mutation may have up to 4 lines of previous
treatment in the advanced setting. Additional chemotherapy may also have been given
for treatment of limited stage disease in the adjuvant setting provided this was
completed at least 6 months prior to study treatment.
Additional Inclusion Criteria for Arm C
19. Known EGFR mutation status:
20. Presence of an activating EGFR mutation (including exon 19 deletion or exon 21 [L858R]
substitution mutation or other rearrangement of the EGFR gene).
21. Disease that is measurable or evaluable according to RECIST Version 1.1.
22. Is currently receiving erlotinib for NSCLC and will have received >=12 weeks'
treatment at the time of the first dose of BGB324 (Cycle 1, Day 1).
23. Have erlotinib related toxicities that are well controlled and
24. No prior treatment for advanced NSCLC except erlotinib and/or previous surgery
(participants who have received treatment for their NSCLC while awaiting confirmation
of EGFR status, may be eligible to participate and the inclusion of such participants
should be discussed with the Medical Monitor).
Exclusion Criteria
1. Pregnant or lactating.
2. Abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (less than the lower limit of normal for a
participants of that age at the treating institution or <45%).
3. Treatment with any of the following; histamine receptor 2 inhibitors, proton pump
inhibitors or antacids within 3 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer. The

providing they are taken in the evening.
4. History of an ischemic cardiac event, including myocardial infarction, within 3 months
of consent.
5. Pulmonary hemorrhage or hemoptysis >2.5 mL blood within 6 weeks of consent unless
cause has been addressed and is medically resolved.
6. Congestive cardiac failure of >Class II severity according to the New York Heart
Association (NYHA) defined as symptomatic at less than ordinary levels of activity.

defined by the need for change in medication for lack of disease control within 3
months of consent.
