E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Sign and date the main ICF, prior to the start of any study-specific qualification procedures. Consent for the optional samples for EOT tumor biopsy and/or pharmacogenetic analysis will be covered in the main ICF. A separate tissue screening consent will be obtained from all subjects to meet the baseline biopsy requirement.
2. Is a male or female subject aged ≥18 years (follow local regulatory requirements if the legal age of consent for study participation is >18 years old).
3. Has histologically or cytologically documented metastatic or locally advanced nonsquamous NSCLC not amenable to curative surgery or radiation.
4. Has documentation of an EGFR-activating mutation detected from tumor tissue or from a blood sample: exon 19 deletion or L858R at diagnosis or thereafter.
5. Received 1 or 2 prior line(s) of an approved EGFR TKI treatment in themetastatic or locally advanced setting, which must include a thirdgeneration EGFR TKI (ie, approved therapies designed with higher preferential activity for mutant vs. EGFRwt and that address acquired resistance to first- and second-generation EGFR TKI [eg, osimertinib, lazertinib, aumolertinib, alflutinib, and others in consultation with Medical Monitor]). If a subject has received 2 prior lines of EGFR TKI therapy, administration of the third-generation EGFR TKI must have been in the most recent line. Subject must have documentation of T790Mmutation if subjects had treatment with a first- or second-generation EGFR TKI prior to treatment with a third-generation EGFR TKI. Enrollment of subjects receiving third-generation EGFR TKIs other than osimertinib will be a maximum of approximately 20% of the enrolled population in each treatment arm.
6. May have received either neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant treatment if progression to metastatic or locally advanced disease occurred at least 12 months after the last dose of such therapy and subsequently experienced disease progression on or after third-generation EGFR TKI treatment administered in the metastatic or locally advanced setting.
a. To provide an example, a patient who received osimertinib as adjuvant therapy after tumor resection, then progressed to having metastatic disease over a year following completion of adjuvant therapy must have also received a third-generation EGFR TKI as treatment for metastatic disease to be considered eligible for this study.
7. Has not received any other prior systemic therapies in the metastatic or locally advanced setting (including chemotherapy, immunotherapy etc) (even if administered in combination with EGFR TKI).
8. Has documentation of radiographic disease progression while receiving or after a third-generation EGFR TKI for metastatic or locally advanced disease.
9. Has at least 1 measurable lesion as per RECIST v1.1 by Investigator assessment.
10. Is willing to provide sufficient quantity and quality of tumor tissue content.
11. Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0 or 1 at Screening.
12. Has adequate bone marrow reserve and organ function based on local laboratory data within 14 days prior to randomization as described in the protocol.
13. If the subject is a female of childbearing potential, must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and must be willing to use highly effective birth control upon randomization, during the Treatment Period, and for 7 months following the last dose of patritumab deruxtecan. A female is considered to be of childbearing potential following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal (no menstrual period for a minimum of 12 months) or if permanently sterile (undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) with surgery at least 1 month before randomization or confirmed by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) test. For comparator drugs, the investigators should follow local practice guidelines and/or label approved in their country.
14. Female subjects must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from the time of Screening and throughout the study Treatment Period and for at least 7 months after the final patritumab deruxtecan administration. For comparator drugs, the investigators should follow local practice guidelines and/or label approved in their country.
15. If male, must be surgically sterile or willing to use highly effective birth control upon randomization, during the Treatment Period, and for at least 4 months following the last dose of patritumab deruxtecan. For comparator drugs, the investigators should follow local practice guidelines and/or label approved in their country.
16. Male subjects must not freeze or donate sperm starting at Screening and throughout the study period and at least 4 months after the final patritumab deruxtecan administration. For comparator drugs, the investigators should follow local practice guidelines and/or label approved in their country.
