NSCLC | Drug: Poziotinib Once Daily Dosing Drug: Poziotinib Twice Daily Dosing Drug: Poziotinib Once Daily Dosing or Twice Daily Dosing as determined in Phase 1 | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter study in Japanese patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. This study will be conducted in two parts. Phase 1 is designed to observe the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) of poziotinib when administered once daily or twice daily. Phase 2 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the dose determined in Phase 1. Study participation includes a 30 day screening period, up to 24 months of treatment, and long-term follow-up for a maximum of 24 months after discontinuation of study treatment.
Phase 1 will enroll up to 36 patients into a dose finding study with two parallel, randomized dose groups. Each group will undergo a dose-finding scheme using a 3+3 design with the assessment of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) at up to three dose levels. Patients will be randomized into once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) dose groups. The DLT assessment will be conducted in the first cycle of treatment and therefore, poziotinib dose modifications are not permitted during this cycle. Patients will be hospitalized for the first 2 weeks.
Phase 2 will enroll 40 additional NSCLC patients with EGFR (20 patients) or HER2 (20 patients) exon 20 insertion mutations. Efficacy and safety of the dose and dosing regimen determined in Phase 1 will be evaluated. All patients will be treated in 28-day cycles for up to 24 months.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 76 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Phase 1 will have two randomized, parallel dose groups comparing daily dosing and twice daily dosing at 3 dose levels. Phase 2 will be a single dose group evaluating the safety and efficacy of the dose determined in Phase 1 in 2 Cohorts. Cohort 1: EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations and Cohort 2: HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase 1/2 Dose Finding Study of Poziotinib in Japanese Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Phase 1: Once Daily Dosing
Dose finding at 8 mg, 12 mg, or 16 mg of poziotinib once daily in 28-day treatment cycles.
|
Drug: Poziotinib Once Daily Dosing
The poziotinib drug substance is a hydrochloride salt of poziotinib and is formulated as a tablet for oral administration. |
Experimental: Phase 1: Twice Daily Dosing
Dose finding at 4 mg, 6 mg, or 8 mg of poziotinib twice daily in 28-day treatment cycles.
|
Drug: Poziotinib Twice Daily Dosing
The poziotinib drug substance is a hydrochloride salt of poziotinib and is formulated as a tablet for oral administration. |
Experimental: Phase 2: Once Daily Dosing or Twice Daily Dosing
Once Daily or Twice Daily Dosing as determined in Phase 1 in 28-day treatment cycles. Cohort 1: EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations Cohort 2: HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations |
Drug: Poziotinib Once Daily Dosing or Twice Daily Dosing as determined in Phase 1
The poziotinib drug substance is a hydrochloride salt of poziotinib and is formulated as a tablet for oral administration. |
- Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Administered Dose (MAD) [ Time Frame: 28 Days ]MTD/MAD will be assessed based on the occurrence of defined dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and all available safety information during first cycle of treatment.
- Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The proportion of patients who achieve Complete Response (CR) or Partial response (PR) by the best response from the first dose of poziotinib to the end of the study.
- Phase 2: Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The proportion of patients who achieve CR, PR, and Stable Disease (SD) by the best response from the first dose of poziotinib to the end of the study.
- Phase 2: Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The number of days from the date that measurement criteria are first met for CR or PR (whichever status is recorded first) until the first subsequent date that progressive disease or death is documented.
- Phase 2: Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The number of days from the treatment start date to the date of documented disease progression or death.
- Phase 2: Exploratory - Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 2 years ]The number of days from the treatment start date to the date of death due to any cause.
