A Phase I/II, Open-Label, Multi-Center Trial to Assess Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of CLN-081 in Patients with Locally-Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Harboring EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations Who Have Previously Received Platinum-Based Systemic Chemotherapy
Considering participating in a START clinical trial?
Study Summary
To assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of CLN-081 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. To find the highest dose of CLN-081 that can be given safely in people with EGFR-mutant, exon 20-positive NSCLC that has continued to grow despite prior treatment, and to see how well patients respond to the treatment. CLN-081 is taken orally (by mouth). To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral CLN-081 monotherapy and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of oral CLN-081 monotherapy To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) of oral CLN-081 monotherapy and determine the phase II recommended dose (RP2D) for oral CLN-081 monotherapy To assess the objective response rate in patients receiving oral CLN-081 monotherapy at the established recommended phase 2 dose, based on an independent central review. To evaluate the duration of response in patients receiving oral CLN-081 monotherapy at the established recommended phase 2 dose, based on an independent central review. Tumor response was assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1. Stable, asymptomatic, or treated brain metastases were allowed. To present updated data from patients with EGFR ex20ins mutant NSCLC previously treated with amivantamab
CTIS
- Assess safety, tolerability and define maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of orally administered CLN-081. 2. Phase 2a - Dose Expansion: *Evaluate objective response rate (ORR) and define recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of orally administered CLN-081. 3. Module A * Investigate PK profile of single doses of CLN-081 with or without a high fat meal in patients with solid tumors. 4. Module B, Part 1: * Define safety, tolerability and PK profile of CLN-081 administered as repeat doses BID with food to patients with locally-advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR ex20ins mutations. *Investigate effect of food on CLN-081 tolerability BID. 5. Module B, Part 2: * Evaluate ORR and duration of response (DOR) by ICR of orally administered CLN-081 at RP2D. 6. Module C: * Evaluate ORR and DOR by ICR of orally administered CLN-081 BID in patients whose disease has progressed after prior treatment with an agent for the treatment of EGFR ex20ins mutant NSCLC.
