About

Open-label, non-randomised, exploratory, phase II, multi-centre clinical trial. 43 unresectable stage III (IIIA-N2, IIIB, IIIC) KRAS p.G12C non-small cell lung cancer patients will be enrolled in this trial to evaluate the efficacy of induction treatment of AMG510 (Sotorasib) plus AMG510 (Sotorasib) treatment post-induction as measured by Progression Free Survival at 12 months.

Full description

This is an open-label, non-randomized, exploratory, phase II multi-centre clinical trial.The total sample size is 43 patients. The population to be included are unresectable stage III (IIIA-N2, IIIB, IIIC) KRAS p.G12C non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Patients randomised will receive AMG510 (Sotorasib) 960mg once daily for 2 cycles (Q4W) in the induction phase and AMG510 (Sotorasib) 960 mg once daily (Q4W) in the treatment post-induction phase. Treatment post-induction phase only for patients with SD, PR or CR after induction treatment. This treatment will be administered until progression disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, patient or physician's decision to discontinue or death.

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of induction treatment of AMG510 (Sotorasib) plus AMG510 (Sotorasib) treatment post-induction as measured by Progression Free Survival at 12 (PFS12) months according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version PFS are defined as the time from inclusion until objective tumor progression or death.

Patient accrual is expected to be completed within 5 years and a half, treatment is planned to extend for 1.5 years and the patients will be followed up for 2 years. The study will end once survival follow-up has concluded.

• 5. No prior treatment for unresectable Stage III (IIIA-N2, IIIB and IIIC) NSCLC.
• 6. Having a life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks

• 7. Patients must be ineligible for concurrent chemo-radiotherapy because of:

  8. Tumor size ≥ 5 cm and lymph node N2 involvement

  10. Interstitial Lung diseases

  11. Prior treatment with thoracic radiotherapy for any reason

  12. Or under decision of a tumor committee as inappropriate due to local characteristics to perform treatment upfront

• 8. PET-CT at baseline is mandatory to confirm the absence of distant disease and to confirm unresectable disease
• 9. PET-CT positive mediastinic adenopathies must be histologically confirmed. Mediastinic involvement could be considered without histological test when no margin can be distinguished in the lymph node mass.
• 10. Brain CT or MRI is mandatory
• 11. Patients with at least 1 measurable lesion, as defined by RECIST v1.1.
• 12. Adequate hematologic and organ function.

• 14. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits and study procedures
• 15. For female patients of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test must have been documented prior to enrollment (within 14 days prior to enrollment).
• 16. For female patients of childbearing potential, agreement (by patient and/or partner) to usea highly effective form(s) of contraception that results in a low failure rate (< 1% per year)when used consistently and correctly, and to continue its use for 7 days after the last dose of AMG510 (Sotorasib). No hormonal methods and preferably barrier method always containing a spermicide, intrauterine device (IUD): intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner (on the understanding that this is the only one partner during the whole study duration), and sexual abstinence.
• 17. For male patients with female partners of childbearing potential, agreement (by patient and/or partner) to use a highly effective form(s) of contraception that results in a low failure rate [< 1% per year] when used consistently and correctly, and to continue its use for 7 days after the last dose of AMG510 (Sotorasib).
• 18. Women who are not postmenopausal (≥ 12 months of non-therapy-induced amenorrhea) or surgically sterile must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 14 days prior to enrollment.
• 19. QTc interval must be ≤ 470 msec in females and ≤ 450 msec in males, based on the average obtained from three ECG.
