Combining osimertinib and dalpiciclib for advanced lung cancer after treatment resistance

Osimertinib Plus Dalpiciclib in Patients With EGFR-mutant, CDK4/6 Pathway Aberrant, Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Following Acquired Resistance on Third-generation EGFR TKI： a Single-arm Phase II Trial

This study is testing if combining two drugs, osimertinib and dalpiciclib, can help people with advanced lung cancer who have not responded to other treatments.

What this trial studies

This phase II trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of osimertinib combined with dalpiciclib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have EGFR mutations and have developed resistance to third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Participants will receive osimertinib daily along with dalpiciclib for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break in a 28-day cycle until disease progression or intolerable side effects occur. The study aims to determine if this combination can effectively target the cancer despite previous treatment failures.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations and concurrent CDK4/6 pathway aberrations who have experienced resistance to third-generation EGFR TKIs.

Not a fit: Patients with active uncontrolled CNS metastases or those who have previously received CDK4/6 inhibitors may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced NSCLC who have limited treatment choices after developing resistance to existing therapies.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, similar studies targeting EGFR mutations and cell cycle dysregulation have shown promise, indicating potential for success.

* History of liver cirrhosis of any origin and clinical stage; or history of other serious liver disease or chronic disease with relevant liver involvement, with or without normal LFTs,
* Any cytotoxic chemotherapy, investigational agents or other anticancer drugs for the treatment of advanced NSCLC from a previous treatment regimen or clinical study within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment with the exception of monotherapy osimertinib which may continue uninterrupted during screening.
* Patients currently receiving (or unable to stop use prior to receiving the first dose of study treatment) medications or herbal supplements known to be strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 within 3 weeks of the first dose of study treatment
* Participation in another clinical study with a cytotoxic, investigational product (IP), or other anticancer drug for the treatment of advanced NSCLC if received IP from that study within 14 days of the first dose of study treatment.
* Known hypersensitivity to the active or inactive excipients of osimertinib or dalpiciclib or drugs with a similar chemical structure or class.
