Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: Amivantamab With Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI) for Advanced NSCLC With ALK, ROS1, or RET Alterations
• Official Title: A Phase 1 / 2, Open Label, Study of Amivantamab (JNJ-61186372) Among Participants With Advanced NSCLC Harboring ALK, ROS1, and RET Gene Fusions in Combination With Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
• Brief Summary: Although non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), c-ros oncogene 1(ROS1), and ret proto-oncogene (RET) gene fusions initially respond well to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies, acquired resistance is inevitable. In many of these cases, increased activation of the erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homologue (ERBB) or cMet pathways appears to be a bypass signaling mechanism that allows these cancer cells to circumvent the selective pressure from TKIs. Recent data have suggested that these pathways compensate for each other in situations where one pathway is inhibited, leading to "kinase switch" drug resistance. Thus, the expected inhibition of both pathways via treatment with the amivantamab and combination TKI combination may improve overall efficacy by limiting the compensatory pathway activation.

Intervention

• Drug: Amivantamab 1050mg

  Amivantamab is a bispecific antibody that binds to the extracellular domains of EGFR and MET.

  In in vitro and in vivo studies amivantamab was able to disrupt EGFR and MET signaling functions through blocking ligand binding and, in exon 20 insertion mutation models, degradation of EGFR and MET. The presence of EGFR and MET on the surface of tumor cells also allows for targeting of these cells for destruction by immune effector cells, such as natural killer cells and macrophages, through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and trogocytosis mechanisms, respectively.

   2. Measurable, treated brain metastases (≥ 10mm) growing after whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) or resection are allowed as target lesions, but lesions growing after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are allowed as target lesions only if radiation necrosis or pseudoprogression is ruled out.
7. Participant has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0-2
8. Participant has a life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks, per investigator discretion.
9. Participant can ingest oral medications.
10. Participant has received the final dose of any of the following treatments/procedures*† with the specified minimum intervals before the first dose of study drug (unless in the opinion of the Sponsor-Investigator, the medication will not interfere with the study or compromise participant safety).

Chemotherapy‡ 21 days Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) 28 days Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) 28 days Locally ablative radiotherapy§ 28 days Palliative radiotherapy§ 14 days Major surgery 28 days

• The patient cannot have received an EGFR TKI (e.g. osimertinib, afatinib), EGFR-directed monoclonal antibody (e.g. cetuximab), MET-inhibitor (e.g., tepotinib, capmatinib, telisotuzumab vedotin, etc.) at any point prior to study entry.

  • Patients will be allowed to remain on their prior TKI without need for a washout therapy.

    • Chemotherapy washout period will be 21 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer. As patients are required to be on a stable dose of TKI for 3 months prior to study entry, this criterion would rarely (if ever) apply to any participant in this study.
