Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer | Drug: INC280 single agent Drug: erlotinib | Phase 1 |
The decision was taken to halt study enrollment with Cohort #3 in Phase Ib. Therefore, activities for the planned Phase II were not initiated.
This decision to stop further development of this combination was taken due to the challenge for enrollment in this very rare patient population along with the rapidly evolving disease landscape setting.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 23 participants |
Allocation: | Non-Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | The study started as a single assignment study which was to move to a parallel design (3 arms) but the study was stopped after cohort #3 in the phase I part and so never moved into phase 2. |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Masking Description: | The study started as a non-randomized study, and was to move into randomized part in phase II. However the study was stopped after cohort #3 in the phase I part and so never moved into phase II. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase Ib/II, Open-label, Multicenter Trial With Oral cMET Inhibitor INC280 Alone and in Combination With Erlotinib Versus Platinum With Pemetrexed in Adult Patients With EGFR Mutated, cMET-amplified, Locally Advanced/Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Acquired Resistance to Prior EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (EGFR TKI) |
Actual Study Start Date : | September 23, 2015 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | November 15, 2017 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | December 5, 2018 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: INC280 200mg BID + ERL 150mg QD
Subjects who took INC280 200mg twice a day (BID) in combination with erlotinib (ERL) 150mg one a day (QD)
|
Drug: INC280 single agent Drug: erlotinib |
Experimental: INC280 400mg BID + ERL 150mg QD
Subjects who took INC280 400mg twice a day (BID) in combination with erlotinib (ERL) 150mg one a day (QD)
|
Drug: INC280 single agent Drug: erlotinib |
- Phase Ib: Frequency and characteristics of Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLTs) to the INC280 and erlotinib combination [ Time Frame: First 28 days of dosing ]To determine MTD and/or RP2D of INC280 in combination with erlotinib
- Phase Ib: Overall response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Every 3 weeks, up to 5 years ]ORR, proportion of patients with a best overall response of complete response or partial Response (CR+PR)
- Phase Ib: Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Every 6 weeks, up to 2 years ]DCR, proportion of patients with best overall response of CR, PR or SD
- Phase Ib: Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Every 6 weeks, up to 2 years ]DOR, defined as time from the first documented CR or PR to first documented progression or death due to any cause
- Phase Ib: Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Every 6 weeks, up to 2 years ]PFS, defined as time from the first dose of study treatment to disease progression or death due to any cause
- Phase Ib: Number of patients with adverse events (AEs) as a measure of safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: Every 3 weeks, up to 2 years ]Safety and tolerability of INC280 in combination with erlotinib assessed by change in vital signs, laboratory results and electrocardiogram (ECG).
- Phase Ib: Plasma concentration-time profiles of INC280 and pharmacokinetic parameters [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Composite pharmacokinetics of INC280 in the presence of erlotinib.
- Phase Ib: Plasma concentration-time profiles of erlotinib in the presence of INC280 [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Composite pharmacokinetics of erlotinib in the presence of INC280.
