A Phase II Trial of AZD9291 (Osimertinib) With or Without Bevacizumab in Patients With EGFR Mutation Positive NSCLC and Brain Metastases

This phase II trial studies how well osimertinib with or without bevacizumab works in
treating patients with EGFR positive non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for
cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may induce
changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and
spread. Giving osimertinib with or without bevacizumab may work better in treating patients
with non-small cell lung cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the progression-free survival with AZD9291 (osimertinib) plus bevacizumab
compared to AZD9291 (osimertinib) alone.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the safety and tolerability of the combination of AZD9291 (osimertinib) and
bevacizumab.

II. To evaluate the time to progression in the central nervous system (CNS) with AZD9291
(osimertinib) plus bevacizumab versus single-agent osimertinib.

III. To determine the overall response rate and the intracranial response rate to the
combination versus single agent.

IV. To assess the overall survival in patients receiving AZD9291 (osimertinib) plus
bevacizumab compared to AZD9291 (osimertinib) alone.

TRANSLATIONAL OBJECTIVES:

I. To investigate mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance to combination AZD9291
(osimertinib) plus bevacizumab versus AZD9291 (osimertinib) by molecularly characterizing
tumor samples including T790M status.

II. To assess whether circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in plasma can be used as
an indicator of sensitivity and resistance to treatment.

III. To determine whether an angiogenic signature using a multiplex panel array is associated
with benefit from the combination of AZD9291 (osimertinib) plus bevacizumab.

IV. To investigate angiogenesis, immune and signaling pathway markers in tumor samples to
determine biomarkers predictive of benefit from combination therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 and bevacizumab
intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence
of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II: Patients receive osimertinib PO QD on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for a minimum of 4 weeks.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an activating EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletion,
L858R point mutation, or any other mutation known to be associated with EGFR TKI
sensitivity); presence of an activating EGFR mutation may be documented in tumor
tissue or by plasma testing if performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act
(CLIA)-certified laboratory; AND

- The presence of an EGFR T790M mutation after progression on a first- or
second-generation EGFR TKI; presence of an EGFR T790M mutation may be documented from
biopsy material from any site of disease (intra- or extra-cranial) or from plasma
testing if performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory; for patients who have disease
progression in the CNS only (with otherwise stable disease systemically), T790M
positivity is not required

- Disease progression on a first- or second-generation EGFR TKI (i.e. erlotinib,
gefitinib, or afatinib); patient may have also received prior chemotherapy or
immunotherapy but this is not required

- Patients must have at least one measurable CNS lesion that is asymptomatic, untreated,
and does not require local therapy at the time of enrollment; measurable CNS disease
is defined as a brain metastasis that can be accurately measured in at least one
dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >= 5 mm (>= 0.5 cm) with brain magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI); if the lesion is 5-10 mm in size and is the only measurable
disease, MRI imaging must be performed with 1.5 mm slice thickness or less; a history
of previously treated brain metastases is allowed, however any lesion present at the
time of whole brain radiotherapy or included in the stereotactic radiotherapy field
(or within 2 mm of the treated lesion) will NOT be considered "untreated" unless it is
new or documented to have progressed unequivocally since treatment

- Patients are not required to have measurable systemic (i.e. non-CNS) disease; if
present, measurable systemic disease must be able to be accurately measured in at
least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short
axis for nodal lesions) as >= 20 mm (>= 2 cm) with conventional techniques or as >= 10
mm (>= 1 cm) with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical
exam

and women must agree to use adequate contraceptive measures during study therapy and
for at least 6 months after the completion of bevacizumab therapy; should a woman
become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating
in this study, the patient should inform the treating physician immediately
