Osimertinib and Ipilimumab for the Treatment of EGFR-Mutated Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase Ib trial studies the safety and long term ability to tolerate osimertinib and ipilimumab in patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving osimertinib and ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer compared to osimertinib alone.

- Uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) metastases are not allowed; subjects with previously treated brain metastases will be allowed if the brain metastases have been treated, toxicities have resolved to grade 1 or baseline and steroids are no longer required. Leptomeningeal metastases are not allowed. * Patients with asymptomatic brain metastasis are allowed if previous steroid treatment was discontinued >= 6 weeks * Patients with stable brain metastases on osimertinib therapy are eligible * Palliative radiation therapy is allowed while on study therapy

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the short and long term tolerability of ipilimumab in combination with osimertinib in EGFR mutation non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess efficacy of osimertinib in combination with ipilimumab in patients with EGFR sensitive non-small-cell lung cancer.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore additional biomarkers related to clinical response and mechanisms of adaptive resistance.
II. To assess immune profile activation before and after immune therapy.
III. To assess patient reported outcomes during trial participation.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive ipilimumab intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes on day 1 and osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Treatment with ipilimumab repeats every 21 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment with osimertinib repeats every 21 days for 4 cycles then every 28 days for subsequent cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) scans and blood sample collection throughout the study. Patients may also undergo brain CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan on study as clinically indicated. Patients may optionally undergo a biopsy on study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months during year 1, then every 5 months during years 2-5.
