Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a phase III, open label, randomized controlled multi-center global study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of single agent nazartinib (EGF816) compared with investigator's choice (erlotinib or gefitinib) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who are treatment naïve and whose tumors harbor EGFR activating mutations (L858R or ex19del).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Progression Free Survival (PFS) by Blinded independent review committee (BIRC) [Approximately 3 years]
PFS using central BIRC assessment according to RECIST 1.1, is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression (as assessed by BIRC per RECIST 1.1) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Overall Survival [Approximately 6 years]
Overall survival is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.
PFS by investigator [Approximately 3 years]
PFS by Investigator assessment according to RECIST 1.1, is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression (as assessed by Investigator per RECIST 1.1) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
PFS after next-line of treatment (PFS2) using investigator assessment according to RECIST 1.1 [Approximately 4 years]
PFS after next-line of treatment (PFS2) using investigator assessment according to RECIST 1.1 is defined as time from date of randomization to the first documented disease progression (clinical or radiologic) as per investigator assessment on next-line therapy or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Time to progression in Central Nervous System (CNS) per central neuro-radiologist BIRC [Approximately 3 years]
Time to progression in CNS, defined as time from date of randomization to the date of first documented progression of brain metastases as assessed by central neuro-radiologist BIRC per modified RECIST 1.1 for patients with at least one non-measurable and/or measurable lesion in the brain at baseline.
Overall response rate (ORR) by central BIRC [Approximately 3 years]
ORR in accordance with RECIST 1.1. ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)
Duration of response (DOR) by central BIRC [Approximately 3 years]
DOR is defined as the time from date of first documented response (CR and PR) to the date of the first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer, whichever occurs first.
Disease control rate (DCR) by central BIRC [Approximately 3 years]
DCR is defined as the percentage of participants with BOR of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD).
Time to response (TTR) by central BIRC [Approximately 3 years]
TTR is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first documented response CR or PR.
CNS ORR per central neuro-radiologist BIRC [Approximately 3 years]
CNS ORR in patients with brain metastases who have measurable disease in the brain at baseline review per modified RECIST 1.1
CNS DoR per central neuro-radiologist BIRC [Approximately 3 years]
CNS DoR in patients with brain metastases who have measurable disease in the brain at baseline per modified RECIST 1.1
Charactise Plasma PK (Cmax) of EGF816 [Day 1 of Cycles 1 to 6 inclusive (21 day cycle)]
Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of EGF816 and its metabolite (LMI258)
Charactise Plasma PK (AUC) of EGF816 [Day 1 of Cycles 1 to 6 inclusive (21 day cycle)]
