Local Consolidative Therapy and Brigatinib in Treating Patients With Stage IV or Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-01-28
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This early phase I trial studies the side effects and how well local consolidative therapy (LCT) and brigatinib works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent). Giving LCT, such as surgery and/or radiation, after initial treatment may kill any remaining tumor cells. Brigatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving LCT and brigatinib may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

• Phase: Early Phase 1

• Activated PTT (aPTT) =< 1.5 x ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulant

• Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test documented at time of screening

• Female patients who: a.) Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, OR b.) Are surgically sterile, OR c.) If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent through 4 months after the last dose of study drug, or agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse

• Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post-vasectomy), who: a.) Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 4 months after the last dose of study drug, or b.) Agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse

• Have normal QT interval on screening electrocardiography (ECG) evaluation, defined as QT interval corrected (Fridericia) (QTcF) of ·450 milliseconds (msec) in males or =< 470 msec in females

• Voluntary agreement to provide written informed consent and the willingness and ability to comply with all aspects of the protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

• Have been diagnosed with another primary malignancy other than NSCLC, except for adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical cancer in situ; definitively treated non-metastatic prostate cancer; or patients with another primary malignancy who are definitively relapse-free with at least 2 years elapsed since the diagnosis of the other primary malignancy

• Previously received any prior TKI, including ALK-targeted TKIs

• Note: on-going first-line brigatinib use as specified in the Inclusion criteria is allowed

• Previously received more than 1 regimen of chemotherapy or immunotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease; Note that history of consolidative immunotherapy after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (for locally advanced disease) is allowed

• Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastasis. Asymptomatic CNS disease requiring increasing dose of corticosteroids within 7 days prior to study enrollment is also not permitted

• Have current spinal cord compression (symptomatic or asymptomatic and detected by radiographic imaging). Patients with leptomeningeal disease and without cord compression are allowed

• The presence of pulmonary interstitial disease, drug-related pneumonitis, or radiation pneumonitis at screening

• Have a known or suspected hypersensitivity to brigatinib or its excipients

• Have malabsorption syndrome or other gastrointestinal (GI) illness or condition that could affect oral absorption of the study drug

• Be pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding

• Have significant, uncontrolled, or active cardiovascular disease, specifically including, but not restricted to: a.) Myocardial infarction (MI) within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug b.) Unstable angina within 6 months prior to first dose of study drug c.) Decompensated congestive heart failure (CHF) within 6 months prior to first dose of study drug d.) History of clinically significant atrial arrhythmia (including clinically significant bradyarrhythmia), as determined by the treating physician e.) Any history of ventricular arrhythmia f.) Cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to first dose of study drug

• Have uncontrolled hypertension. Patients with hypertension should be under treatment on study entry to control blood pressure

• Have an ongoing or active infection, including, but not limited to, the requirement for intravenous (IV) antibiotics

• Have a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Testing is not required in the absence of history

• Have any condition or illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise patient safety or interfere with the evaluation of the study drug
