Amivantamab for the Treatment of Metastatic EGFR or MET-Amplified Esophagogastric Cancer
This phase II trial tests whether amivantamab works to shrink tumors in patients with esophagogastric cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and has a genetic change (amplification) in the EGFR or MET gene. Amivantamab is a bispecific antibody that targets the EGFR and MET proteins. A bispecific antibody binds to two different proteins; one found on the surface of cancer cells and one found on the surface of cells in the immune system. An antibody is a protein made by the immune system to help fight infections and other harmful processes, cells, or molecules. Amivantamab may help the immune system recognize and destroy tumor cells.

- No prior receipt of an EGFR or MET inhibitor for esophagogastric cancer. (Note: if a patient previously received a EGFR inhibitor, but subsequently demonstrated a MET amplification, or previously received a MET inhibitor, but subsequently demonstrated an EGFR-amplification, inclusion is permitted)

- Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1
- >= 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent
- Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2
- Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1.0 x 10^9 /L
- Platelets >= 75 x 10^9/L
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (=< 5 x ULN for subjects with liver metastases)
- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN; subjects with Gilbert’s syndrome can enroll if conjugated bilirubin is within normal limits
- Serum creatinine < 1.5 x ULN or if available, calculated or measured creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min/1.73 m^2
- Women of childbearing potential and male patients with women of childbearing potential partners must be willing to use an adequate method of contraception
Exclusion Criteria
- Prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or biological therapy, within 2 weeks prior to study day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., =< grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent (excluding alopecia)
- If subject received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately prior to starting therapy
- Known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy
- Known active hepatitis B (e.g., hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive or polymerase chain reaction detectable) * Note: Subjects with a prior history of hepatitis B virus (HBV) demonstrated by positive hepatitis B core antibody are eligible if they have at screening 1) a negative HBsAg and 2) a HBV DNA (viral load) below the lower limit of quantification, per local testing. Subjects with a positive HBsAg due to recent vaccination are eligible if HBV DNA (viral load) is below the lower limit of quantification, per local testing
- Known active hepatitis C (e.g., hepatitis C virus [HCV] ribonucleic acid [RNA] [qualitative] is detected) * Note: Subjects with a prior history of HCV, who have completed antiviral treatment and have subsequently documented HCV RNA below the lower limit of quantification per local testing are eligible
- Other clinically active or chronic liver disease
- Subject has uncontrolled inter-current illness, including but not limited to poorly controlled diabetes, ongoing or active infection (i.e., has discontinued all antibiotics for at least one week prior to first dose of study drug), or psychiatric illness/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements. Subjects with medical conditions requiring chronic continuous oxygen therapy are excluded
- Pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), within 1 month of start of study drug
- Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, or any acute coronary syndrome within 6 months of start of study drug
- Congestive heart failure defined as New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV or hospitalization for congestive heart failure (any NYHA class) within 6 months of start of study drug
- Interstitial lung disease (ILD), including drug-induced ILD or radiation pneumonitis requiring treatment with prolonged steroids or other immune suppressive agents that is unresolved or resolved within the last 3 months
- Immune-mediated rash from checkpoint inhibitors that has not resolved prior to enrollment
- Known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial, in the opinion of the treating investigator
- Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 6 months after the last dose of trial treatment
- Prisoners, or subjects who are compulsory detained

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the efficacy of amivantamab in patients with EGFR and/or MET-amplified esophagogastric (EG) cancer, with efficacy measured by objective response rate (ORR; defined as complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess secondary efficacy endpoints of amivantamab including safety and tolerability, median progression-free survival (PFS), median duration of response (DOR), median overall survival (OS), and disease control rate (DCR); defined as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore mechanisms of resistance to EGFR-inhibition using pre/post treatment circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (ctDNA) and tissue next generation sequencing.
II. To study changes in the immune micro-environment in response to amivantamab.
III. To establish tumor-derived organoids from patients with EGFR and/or MET-amplified EG cancer in order to identify synergistic therapeutic combinations.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive amivantamab intravenously (IV) over 2-4 hours on days 1, 2, 8, 15, and 22 of cycle 1 and days 1 and 15 of subsequent cycles. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as blood sample collection throughout the trial. Patients may optionally undergo tissue biopsy during screening and on the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 1 year.
