HER2-targeting in EGFR-mutated

Details and patient eligibility

About

This study is a pilot study in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients who have progressed on standard-dose TKIs. Tumor biopsies will be evaluated for HER2-expression. In case of HER2 expression, patients can participate in the trial after obtaining informed consent.

Patients will be treated with weekly paclitaxel-trastuzumab.

Patients must have been detected with an activating EGFR mutation at baseline and must have yet progressed on erlotinib, gefitinib or afatinib monotherapy in daily dose of 150 mg, 250 mg or 40 mg respectively. (Patients with unknown mutation status that have exhibited a response to these agents or stable disease for at least 6 months while on treatment with gefitinib or erlotinib are also eligible).
Rebiopsy after having acquired resistance to TKI-treatment must have been performed and HER2-overexpression (positive immunohistochemistry staining) must have been detected.
There must be at least one measurable disease site, according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.
WHO performance status 0-2.
Willing and able to comply with the study prescriptions.
18 years or older.
Not pregnant or breast feeding and willing to take adequate contraceptive measures during the study.
Ability to give written informed consent before patient registration.

No major surgery (excluding diagnostic procedures like e.g. mediastinoscopy or VATS biopsy) in the previous 4 weeks.
No treatment with investigational drugs.
No known hypersensitivity to trastuzumab-paclitaxel
No symptomatic brain metastases.
