TAK-788 as First-Line Treatment Versus Platinum-Based Chemotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations
Trial Status: closed to accrual
The purpose of this study is to compare effectiveness of TAK-788 as first-line treatment
with that of platinum-based chemotherapy in participants with locally advanced or
metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors has epidermal growth factor
receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups- TAK-788 group
or Platinum-based chemotherapy group.
Participants will receive TAK-788 orally and pemetrexed/cisplatin or
pemetrexed/carboplatin via vein until the participants experience worsening disease (PD)
as assessed by blinded independent review committee (IRC), intolerable harmful effects or
another discontinuation criteria.
Inclusion Criteria
Male or female adult patients (aged 18 years or older)
Histologically or cytologically confirmed nonsquamous cell locally advanced not suitable for definitive therapy, recurrent, or metastatic (Stage IV) NSCLC
Documented epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in-frame exon 20 insertion mutation assessed by a clinical laboratory improvements amendment (CLIA)-certified (US sites) or an accredited (outside of the US) local laboratory The EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation can be either alone or in combination with other EGFR or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutations except EGFR mutations for which there are approved anti-EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors [TKIs] (ie, exon 19 del, L858R, T790M, L861Q, G719X, or S768I, where X is any other amino acid)
Adequate tumor tissue available, either from primary or metastatic sites, for central laboratory confirmation of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation
At least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST Version 1.1
Life expectancy ≥3 months
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1
Adequate organ and hematologic function as defined by blood transfusions with a recommended >/ 14 day washout period.
Exclusion Criteria
Received prior systemic treatment for locally advanced or metastatic disease, including local administration, such as intra-pleural injection of anticancer medication with the exception noted below:
Neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy/immune therapy for Stage I to III or combined modality chemotherapy/radiation for locally advanced disease is allowed if completed >6 months before the development of metastatic disease.
Received radiotherapy ≤14 days before randomization or has not recovered from radiotherapy-related toxicities
Received a moderate or strong cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inhibitor or moderate or strong CYP3A inducer within 10 days before first dose of TAK-788
Have been diagnosed with another primary malignancy other than NSCLC
Have current spinal cord compression or leptomeningeal disease
Have uncontrolled hypertension. Participants with hypertension should be under treatment on study entry to control blood pressure
Received a live vaccine within 4 weeks before randomization per Summary of product characteristics (SmPCs) for pemetrexed, cisplatin, and carboplatin
Taking medication(s) known to be associated with the development of torsades de pointes.
